Making a magnetic knife holder | epoxy resin and plum tree

This was a bit of a trial project. I have never done a knife holder. Pouring epoxy and planing some planks was an easy stuff. But figuring out what magnets to choose and how deep imbed them into wood. That was the most interesting part. It turned out fantastic. Looks super vibrant and works just great.

[@ScreaminBaby]

Really nice!

[@ilianadimitrova397]

That's the most beautiful knife holder I have seen. Great job!

[@Chiselsplay]

Thank you so much

[@pablos.cargoe7101]

Excellent product and presentation! Thank you.

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks for watching

[@user-du2of3lh1g]

Crazy I got about 6 pieces of plumb drying and I'm going to do the same thing beautiful wood!!!!!

[@hardrock1826]

Excellent workmanship. I'm hoping to make a magnetic knife block myself. You have certainly given me some really great ideas. And something to work toward. The video was inspiring. Thanks

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks sooo much! Best of luck with your project;))

[@zedmelon]

Beautiful piece. Good work!

[@MyNigellus]

This looks brilliant, satisfying. Good job

[@Chiselsplay]

thank you!

[@esencix]

Amazing video. Questions: what type of oil did you use at the end? did you sprayed water before sanding? and did you use the finest sandpapers? also, what did you use in the small holes before sanding, is it more epoxy or glue? thanks for a great video

[@innuendo4469]

Do you get a lot of marriage propositions? I am joining the queue! BEAUTIFUL workshop, BEAUTIFUL holder, and you seem a good person.. and I am in love now. not sure with what more - your craftmanship, your persona or your workshop

[@KelAZ1]

This piece is both beautiful and functional! I hope your friend appreciated it!

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks a lot! I hope they do;))

[@sinisterwoodworkcarpentry]

Awesome! 🤘

[@iloveschicken6527]

Very nice!

[@Chiselsplay]

Sissy B thanks

[@brianhenry5834]

FYI, just bought the magnets on Amazon prime, check the N rating, some sites don't specify

[@cbfowler]

Well done... and what a lovely knife holder you've just made. I love it. Well done. :-)

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching!!

[@sakuraneko9972]

What was the machine you use to carve hole in the back?

[@RandomAs77]

Looks great 👍

[@redendeleon2208]

very good

[@steveskinner8088]

Nice work

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks 🙏

[@paulchallinor5013]

Neat!

[@eladsinay6914]

i noticed you disconnected your vacuum hose when planing. Any reason you do that? lol i ask but i think i know because i didnt and i just found out what epoxy can do to your dust collection system ... the pvc pipes, the motor and pretty much every part of my system.

[@Chiselsplay]

The reason was a bit different. We used to giveaway our wood dust and chips to be used as bedding for horses. Epoxy was not on the wish list for these gorgeous animals 😂

[@eladsinay6914]

@@Chiselsplay haha i never knew that they use the wood chips for horse bedding. my niece rides every week. ill have to see if i can do the same. They really are majestic beautiful animals. ut i still stand by epoxy going thru the dust collection is like a cancer.

[@user-kl6sw9pq2i]

Не зря подписался, увидел отличную идею.

[@DJP89]

what are those brackets called that you screwed into the back to mount to the wall?

[@Chiselsplay]

keyhole bracket. Thanks for watching!

[@mrpatching9586]

Please list the products you use in your explanation and links to buy it. Thank you.

[@colormereal6731]

what kind of tapes are you using between 1:21 - 1:35? Making a knife holder of my own :)

[@Chiselsplay]

I’ve used simple masking tape on the bottom of those planks just to prevent silicone from seeping into the wood grain. And I’ve used simple packing tape (make sure it’s made out of polyethylene) so epoxy wouldn’t stick to it. Any tape made out of PET(E) will work, packing tape seems to be the cheapest. Good luck with your build!!

[@TheKevinlefty]

Great work! Where can i order those magnets?

[@Chiselsplay]

Somewhere online I’d guess:D it’s been a long time ago since I’ve built it

[@Chiselsplay]

Chiselsplay.com if you were asking about the workpiece

[@cbfowler]

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question, but let me ask... is the magnet within the grey resin or are they magnets which you wedged into that slot you cut into the wood with that Festool machine?

[@Chiselsplay]

I have placed the magnets in the slot. Epoxy is just for looks;))

[@kc8lae]

Great job on the video. Love how you built the knife holder! Was wondering what size magnets you used?

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks! I've used a row of 10 (50mmx10mmx5mm N52) neodymium magnets 3-5mm below the surface. It was an overkill, you could stick an axe on it (small one :D). Anyhow, I could have use a bit smaller magnets.

[@buckkw5108]

Mommy bought you some nice tools..😅

[@banxietyfree]

Great video? What is the thickness of the wood between the magnets and the knives?

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks for watching! Its about 3mm. But it all depends on the magnet size and strength. I did a test with the magnets I got and 3mm seemed to be the sweet spot

[@Dusty727]

Great job! I love it! Must try. What kind of silicon do you use to hold the wood?

[@Chiselsplay]

Just regular off the shelf one

[@jayD26665]

What kind of tape is that?

[@kylekm1000]

That looks awesome! What type of finish did u use? I’m also making something similar and trying to decide what to use. I was thinking mineral oil/beeswax since it will be in contact with knives which will cut food.

[@Chiselsplay]

I’m pretty sure I used rubio Monocoat on this one. My thought behind it was that it’s not a cutting board and food won’t have direct contact with it. It’s like tabletop. You put your tools on it, but you don’t eat straight from it (at least not too often:DD). Though foodsafe finish is also a good choice, but some refreshment might be needed from time to time.

[@kylekm1000]

Makes sense! Thank you!

[@victorialong6767]

I have tools and knives. I have only the fridge to use what suggestions you have for a proper build? 2 cleavers, 2 chef's, 4 petit chefs, 4 santokus, 1boner, 1 carver, 1 bread, 4 filet, 1 deli, 2 can openers, 1 sharpener, and 2 shears? I assume a few magnetic strips i have black stainless fridge and want complementary holders. Contact me if you would want the task of the build epoxy of course.

[@Chiselsplay]

Could you reach me out via [e-mail]. BTW, Thanks for watching!!!

[@Pens-and-morez]

What magnets do you use?. Link please

[@Chiselsplay]

I bought it locally. I used small neodymium magnet bars. You’ll have to google it. Thanks for watching;))

[@Pens-and-morez]

@@Chiselsplay ok thank you for replying 😀

[@mrpatching9586]

Actually do you know the strength of the magnets please.

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks for asking. I've used a row of 10 (50mmx10mmx5mm N52) neodymium magnets 3-5mm below the surface. It was an overkill. Anyhow, I could have use a bit smaller magnets.

[@jriquelmy]

Awesome job! So how deep did you place the magnets into the wood? Do you have links to the magnets and hanging hardware you used?

[@Chiselsplay]

I don’t have links, I bought those locally. I’ve installed magnets from 3-5mm below the front face. I’ll check the magnet dimensions for you

[@Chiselsplay]

[@m1ci]

​@@Chiselsplay very nice piece of work. I have a question about the chosen magnets. Do you think stronger/or less strong would be better? Will you take another magnets if you would do the same thing again? Also, would you recommend to install the magnets closer to the front face? For example 2mm. I am asking because I'm also planning to do smth similar :)

Labas diena :”>

[@buckkw5108]

Mommy bought you some nice tools..😅You don't have any knives? Come to work at Mama's you can make em all day long..lot of money in it..🙄

[@almitchell5768]

No instructions as the video went on, no explanation as to why he did things in a certain way or order, sorry not a helpful video for someone trying to learn

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks for your opinion. I guess I’ll have to make a new one with proper explanation;)) anyway, thanks for watching!! If you have any questions about the build, I can answer those for you;)) cheers!! Stay safe;)

[@vsand9798]

Beautiful work.
