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!

Good looking piece of wood, and very nice knife. Love that old carbon steel.

How thick is the wood between the face and the magnet? I have been thinking of a similar project for my carbon steel collection.

Great Thread,Thx for starting It.
Just trying to finish a Loom for a member,made him a matching DE stand and brush also.
All Maccasser ebony and Ivory inlay.

I'm mid-way through a project for a razor, brush and soap bowl stand.
It needs final assembly, sanding and finishing. That will take a bit of time before pics can be posted.

Here's a kitchen knife and block I made recently. Figured maple, cocobolo, white corian and 1095.

Woodworkers will like this eyecandy...

Turning down some squares to have a go at some brushes. Want to make one for my dad for Father's Day. This is tambootie wood. Maybe I'll try to couple with some ebony.

Funny you say that Bill. When the wife walked into the garage, she couldn't figure out where the nice smell was coming from!
