The most important tool in the kitchen should be easily accessed, but knife blocks take up a lot of space and are not very hygienic. Personally I always fancied a magnetic holder, but the good looking ones are quite expensive.
Materials
- some nice wood
- I used some leftovers from our common room tables which were already the right size
- Neodymium magnets
- can be bought from eBay
- 5 min epoxy
- some sandpaper
Making
I sketched all the spots which should contain magnets on the piece of wood and drilled them out with a 7 mm wood drill bit (same size as the magnets). The holes need to be a bit deeper than the thickness of the magnets, so they can pressed in slightly below the surface. Afterwards the magnets were pressed in and some 5 min epoxy was applied onto the magnets to secure them.
Once the epoxy had hardened the excess was removed with a chisel and sandpaper. I applied (coconut) oil onto the wood before mounting to protect it from moisture and bring out the grain of the wood.

Marking the spots for the holes.
Drilling.
Inserting the magnets into the board. In some instances a hammer was needed.
Inserted magnets. Note they are slightly recessed from the surface.
Mixing the epoxy resin.
Applying epoxy onto magnets.
Done.
