My application is a knife block for my husband's self-forged damask knife.
In contrast to the already existing customer application Knife Block
I made due with much fewer magnets and I came up with a more space-saving model.
With the help of a carpenter I mitred four side pieces, one bottom and one top piece out of birch-wood.
(A much simpler, but less elegant solution would be a bunch of plywood!)
I drilled a hole in the bottom piece to fit the stainless steel pole (10 mm) and enlarged it a little bit with a round file, so the block would revolve easier.
I used a 20 mm centre bit (Forstnerbohrer) to drill three cavities at a distance of approx.
30 mm (one below the other) into the 4 side pieces.
I made sure that about 4-5 mm of wood remained towards the outside as to not penetrate the wood entirely with the drill bit.
Then I glued the 12 S-20-10-N
magnets into the holes with 2-component adhesive
and thereafter glued the six wood pieces together.
Now it's time to put the wooden block on the stainless steel pole - done!
Beautiful and astoundingly strong!
The forged knife has a blade length of 19 cm (+ 11 cm handle) and weighs about 200 g.
The other knives are store-bought and lighter, like a bread knife with a blade length of 20 cm und 90 g.
How well they stick to the block is demonstrated in the following video.
