I don't watch football much, but based on how Steelers fans are celebrating here, I guess they won.

Personally I like them, I called them to win it all this year...even though they dont look as good as a few years back.

A lot of my friends at work love the Steelers. I am sure they feel the same as you.

Topgun, if you have some old HDD's, there are some neo magnets inside. :fing34:

I finally got my knife rack hung the other day in the kitchen.

I am generally opposed to magnetic racks due to placing your blades on metal...you however have skirted that concern and made something gorgeous in the process. A few build shots would be great :)

Yep, I didn't want to put them on steel, so here we are.

It is super duper easy to make and would be a great project for your Unisaw. I found a website that already had figured out rough distances on how thick the wood should be depending on magnet size. I used some 1"x.125" round disk N40 Neo magnets that are siliconed in a dado on the back side of it.

Basically I found some scrap maple and walnut, ran a dado in the back slightly oversized, glued some endcaps on, sanded the corners off, roundover bit, and there we are. I used Mineral Oil on it since its the same thing I use on the cutting board. The magnets cost me 20$ but that is it, everything else is scrap.

No dado, but I added a router plate in the Unisaw table. Figured I can route almost anything that I'd need to dado.

Curious on spacing and thickness, although I am not sure I have a place for one. Might make a stellar gift though :) My mom has a magnet mount.

Oh, bought a new knife today. Played with everything they had at Kitchen Window. Hell I flat out julienned a bag of carrots into slice sized juliennes. Think 1/3 of a toothpick in length and otherwise a toothpick. Cut so much that I ended up bleeding from the top of the knives cutting into my finger.

I had a nice 8", 12" and a shitty 10"...now that is nice too :) If my hands were smaller I can't give enough props to the blade on the 10" MAC. Just didn't fit in my hands. Ended up buying the Shun Elite because the handle was by far the most comfortable in my hands and the balance was right. Hard part was it wasn't my favorite for detail work, but for everything else it was the workhorse I liked the best.

Guy at the store was shocked when I told him I had no technique and was self taught. He then showed me the knives, a few cuts, and then I proceeded to make him look like sausage fingers as I ripped through the veggies. He was surprised, but gave me a couple good pointers. I muscle things too much. Not a surprise. :P

Here is the reason you want to find a chef's knife that really fits you the first time.

I left out the bone cleaver, but basically an old steel piece you use like an axe that is x2+ the size of the other. That F. Dick is a beast to and will easily chop through bone.

On about the minimum size I consider a real cuttingboard.

Note, the smallest knife on there is the biggest that normally comes with knife "sets". It is an 8", sand balanced, japanese steel knife. Luckily for us, it fits my wife. Doh! Been using it for a long time though as most of my blades are global...something I'd like a do over on. That being said, their bread knife is fucking outstanding. Pairing and detail knives I like as well.
