Thread: Feats in Woodworking great and small

Hi y'all,

I love coming to the workshop and seeing the crazy stuff y'all come up with so much that I wanted to start a thread for woodworking so that we could all share some of the cool things we come up with.

Here's mine for this week. It's a magnetic knife board out of spalted tamarind:


Got the wood flat and smooth. Bored holes in the back with a forstner bit. Epoxied in some rare earth magnets and hammered some dowels in. Flush cut them, more sanding, tung oil, sanding, natural finish, a tad of buffing.

Here it is all glued up:


It still needs some flush mounting brackets installed on the back, but it's pretty much good to go. It's got just the right amount of magnetic pull too. It holds the knife firmly, but won't grab it out of your hand.

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see all of your work!

Tony
