Magnetic knife strip
I made this for my kitchen. It’s maple, stained and sealed with tung oil. The magnets are 5/8” dia. x 1/4” thick disk neodymium magnets in a single continuous line, located 1/8” below the surface.

Fantabulous! A real winner. How long is it, if you don't mind me asking? Are the magnets centered in the board?JASinIL2006 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:03 pm I made this for my kitchen.

That's very nice! Unlike XexoX I'm not going to ask any personal questions. I think thats what PMs are for.

Re: Magnetic knife strip
Thanks! It’s a full 24” long and the magnets run down the center. It’s about 1.5” thick to allow me to easily get my fingers behind the handles.It’s attached to the wall with a couple metal keyhole brackets that catch on screws in the wall.XexoX wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:41 pmFantabulous!
