Crimson use regular masking tape and burnish it down. Whatever works. I'm a big fan of the trick too because I always have a terrible time getting the backing off double-sided tape.
Got that trick from the Crimson page also...except that he takes about 15 minutes to explain it while this vid took about 15 seconds. ;o) I like the design, I may modify it to make one I can attach to the wooden 'wall' between my range and oven. I hate all the counter space our giant butcher block knife holder takes up.
Ohh yeeeah! First, a how to video on doubling up your drawer space and now an in-drawer knife block... Coincidence, maybe 🤷🏻♀️! Love, love, love!! Just in time for our kitchen reno. Keep em' coming boss!!
Beautiful project! If it is ok, I'll use it in my high school woodshop. We mill our own lumber from trees we take down and make projects out of them. My students and I are big fans of your channel.
Absolutely love the garbage can spray booth!😂 probably not the takeaway you'd imagined for your video, but I'm always fascinated by the useful little things I learn when I'm originally watching for a whole other reason. Definitely going to give all my big cans an inside protective coat of overspray. Lolol
Any thoughts about applying finish before gluing up, so you can be sure to coat the narrow spaces between blocks? Or does the spray finish get in there enough? #bespoke
If I wasn't in such a rush to get this one made by Christmas, I would have finished before the glueup. That's really the best way to go, but the project certainly isn't ruined by finished after.
What do you think about using the width of table saw blade instead of bandsaw for grooves? I think I’ll start designing the cutout profile for my Shapeoko cnc
I can't say I have tried it but blue tape does not have the holding strength of turners double sided tape. I would not use this tape trick on a lathe. But one test is worth a thousand expert opinions. Give it a try and let us know how it works.
If I'm correctly translating, Brazilian cherry (cerejeira) is not allowed to be cut down anymore (at least in Brazil) for 15 years or so. If that's the case you're pretty luck of having these boards. I still have some in my shop from an old bed frame I found, and I'm planning on making some nice frames with it. Very nice and rare wood.
What were the bandsaw slots at the end for? It looked like he placed the knives in the empty spaces he created, not those slots. Is that just knife storage that he didn't show being used?
Thousands and thousands dollars worth of tools for a 10 dollar worth knife block. I would like to see you make something with basic tools like most of us out htere.
I was just thinking on a different approach instead of for the drawer. Adjust the curves to where they could hold the knife in an upright position and it could be mounted to the wall. I know this is not pleasing to some but in my parents house they use a magnet strip from harbor freight to hold theirs on the wall for easy access
Not if the cut is taken slow. Hard to appreciate it from the sped up video but if you let the blade clear the stock completely as you push forward slowly, it shouldn't drift.
Wait, wait, wait..nobody has commented that your mother has an Amazon wishlist?!?! How do I, also, teach my mother to easily tell me what she wants for Christmas?!?!
I'm not actually a subscriber. I don't really watch any channel regularly. But when they published the video on the CA/Tape trick, it was passed around quite a bit and got some well-deserved attention. And that's no on Maker's Central. No non-essential trips in 2019 for me.
I personally do not store my knives resting on their working surface. Nice looking project, but it places knives on their most delicate and critical surface. Kind of like a eyeglass holder that rests them of the lens.
From the thumbnail I thought it looked a lot like an American flag.. with the different colored woods and the knife handles looked almost blue.. and that base is almost like a waving flag.. so perhaps thats an idea for someone else that maybe creates this project. Just enhance the red color and get blue handled knives. BTW I' make signs and other crafts and located in Surprise AZ.. started my channel almost a year ago.
I recently rebuilt our kitchen cabinet drawers and doors. My wife wanted the same thing. Not only did I BUY it, I bought 2 so I could rip and glue together for a snug fit across the whole drawer width. Felt like a cheater, but the rest of the job was burying me.
nothing wrong with that at all, so don't beat yourself up. I wrote an article for Pop Woodworking in 2013 on this very topic :) www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/to-build-or-buy-furniture/
@@woodwhisperer haha, time is accelerating. Good read, and I agree with the many different factors that really come into play in that decision. Interestingly, I could see my self changing my mind on "buy vs build" of a specific thing, based on those factors changing over time and place.
the problem with your knife holder you made is the sharp side hits the wood. I was taught this dulls the knife edge. you never forget when a woman tells you not to put the knife in that way
Ah the true mentality of a woodworker. "Why spend $20 on something that will get here tomorrow when I can use $50 worth of materials and take 2 weeks to do it?" We're all a little loonie like that though and I'm sure it means so much more to your mother this way. Cherish this.
I do the exact same thing. My wife and I went to Magnolia Market in Waco and while I was walking around I was thinking I could build that for $5 and not pay $100.
If you anticipated adding more width would it have made sense to not glue the dovetail keys in place? That way all you would have to do is to create a new key when you wanted to add more knives.
I like how you use your humor to inject a little more life into your videos. Never boring to watch.
The blue tape trick is worth the price of admission.
Crimson use regular masking tape and burnish it down. Whatever works. I'm a big fan of the trick too because I always have a terrible time getting the backing off double-sided tape.
Are you my brother? lol

Love the shirt! Everytime I wear mine I recite lines from 80s movies like a champ. Great project to use as inspiration for my wife's "honey-do" list
You make that wood alive just talking!!
Awesome man!!!
Monday morning woodworking with Marc! Woop woop!
Your videos are always top quality. Your, presentation, videography and woodworking skills are amongst the best on TH-cam.
This is one of the best knives storage ever !
Love the ca glue/tape trick - been using it since I first saw you use it. Came out great and digging the photos from a nonsensical location lol! - Jim
Nice to taking care of mom! Appreciate you vids.
Good idea that glue over tape tip. Thanks for sharing !

Nice little project there Mark. Well done
Feel #blessed to be able to follow you and your beautiful #bespoke projects!
I love your simple, practical and yet beautiful projects!
Love the tape try i'm going to try that next time. I hate cleaning off tape and glue. Loved the finished look on that piece.
This video’s ending is awesome. So was the last video’s. Patented Spagnuolo sarcasm at its best! Great video as usual Marc. #bespoke #blessed
"If you're not ok with Snark, you're not OK with Marc!"
Nicely done Marc.
Hey Marc, really appreciate you sharing videos like this. Thank you for the content!!
Your mother will love it. Great job.
I feel #blessed listening to your commentary.
Very nice! Looks like a project that I’ll be trying soon. Thanks for sharing.
How would you add on with the sliding dovetail glued in?
Very nice gift and video.
👍👍👍👍Good tips. I always forget the clearance pass for the dovetails. Maybe it'll sink in this time, lol
learned that trick from Ben as well. Great way to "clamp" something to your benchtop when other methods do not work for the piece
Your clearly a master at your trade but not everyone has the level of equipment you have to complete that job. Like the reference at the end
Awesome knife block.
Classic Spags.
The last 15 seconds had me cracking up. Thank you.
Great project...love the shape!

@@woodwhisperer Good call. Thanks for the feedback!
Nicely done! 👍🏻👊🏻
I’ll be putting the blue tape and ca glue tip to use- thanks mate 👍
Ben Crowe has all the good tricks.
Thanks for showing how and sharing that, well done
Wonderful job!!
that last Hashtag Blessed at the end cracked me up!!!
Great Video Mark, thanks!!
Love the tape trick..nice build. surprised no spoke shave in lieu of the spindle sander.
That looks great. Well done 👍🏼
What do you think about using the width of table saw blade instead of bandsaw for grooves? I think I’ll start designing the cutout profile for my Shapeoko cnc
Exactly what my wife wants for our RV.
Nice job
Grandioso , muy lindo trabajo ....!!!
BLESSED indeed,,,,
Great project. I'm wondering if you could use the same tape technique for turning.
I can't say I have tried it but blue tape does not have the holding strength of turners double sided tape. I would not use this tape trick on a lathe. But one test is worth a thousand expert opinions. Give it a try and let us know how it works.
I like this idea, mostly because I can decide how many knives it needs to hold.
Not as impressive as seeing you complete it in 60 seconds on IG but I love this! LOL Great idea for a gift, Marc!
I Just seem to work faster on IG. Weird! :)
The Wood Whisperer something about the space-time continuum I’m sure!
#BLESST!
Beautiful! Love the alternating colors. #blessed
I have that same paint booth, aka recycle bin!
Great project for your mom, video production 10/10 #loveyourself #onedayatatime
That’s awesome
Belíssimo trabalho .sou brasileiro curto muito seus projetos .e que tipo de madeira você usou?
I'm going to give this a try. What size do you all think for the spacers? 1/4"?
If I'm correctly translating, Brazilian cherry (cerejeira) is not allowed to be cut down anymore (at least in Brazil) for 15 years or so. If that's the case you're pretty luck of having these boards. I still have some in my shop from an old bed frame I found, and I'm planning on making some nice frames with it. Very nice and rare wood.
I've had that Crimson guitars video saved in my watch later playlist for years to remind myself of the glue/tape method.
What were the bandsaw slots at the end for? It looked like he placed the knives in the empty spaces he created, not those slots. Is that just knife storage that he didn't show being used?
All of the front knives utilize the bandsaw slots. Only the back knives use the space between the ribs.
Crimson Guitars represent!!
Do you *not* keep your knifes and knife block in the backyard, as far from the kitchen as possible?
ha ha. So sassy...#blessed. ha ha. Looks great, Marc!
Thousands and thousands dollars worth of tools for a 10 dollar worth knife block. I would like to see you make something with basic tools like most of us out htere.
Marc, what superglue / activator do you use?
For template routing, I use Titebond Thick or Gel. You can find them and the activator here www.amazon.com/shop/thewoodwhisperer?listId=371CFTWHVX12T
Perfect gift idea. That braz.cherry tho💯

Any issues with the bandsaw blade drifting when you widen the knife slots? Great project. #blessed
Not if the cut is taken slow. Hard to appreciate it from the sped up video but if you let the blade clear the stock completely as you push forward slowly, it shouldn't drift.
Wait, wait, wait..nobody has commented that your mother has an Amazon wishlist?!?! How do I, also, teach my mother to easily tell me what she wants for Christmas?!?!
Lucky mom!
I absolutely guarantee your mom loved that you spent two days making her a beautiful knifeblock rather than simply buying it from Amazon.
We make those at work, but to hold them together, we use 5/16 dowel rods
Nice job Marc. I never had you down as a Crimson Guitars subscriber. Also, will you be at Makers Central this year?
I'm not actually a subscriber. I don't really watch any channel regularly. But when they published the video on the CA/Tape trick, it was passed around quite a bit and got some well-deserved attention. And that's no on Maker's Central. No non-essential trips in 2019 for me.

You could've used your brad nailer to pin those into place. You know, just until the glue dried. #blessed
#thanksbrother !!!!!!
lol. How many times I’ve told my wife “don’t buy that, I can just make it.”
And then you didn't right? Yeah, #metoo...
#nailedit. Very funny!
#blessed.... i completely lost it
I think it came out really knife.
hashtag "blessed".... great ending!!! 🙂

How come you never post anymore woodworking videos on this channel anymore? ... oh wait!
All the mums out here just smiled 😌
"...in a nonsensical setting" hahaha
Why buy something when you can just build it? It's why I don't go shopping anymore, just walk around thinking 'i could try and build that'
I do the exact same thing. My wife and I went to Magnolia Market in Waco and while I was walking around I was thinking I could build that for $5 and not pay $100.
My god you're such a mamas boy (at least that what Matt C said on his channel :)
I am! Cremona's mom is my buddy too and she enjoys my Instragram more than his, so he's just jealous.
If you anticipated adding more width would it have made sense to not glue the dovetail keys in place? That way all you would have to do is to create a new key when you wanted to add more knives.
Yup. As long as the fit is snug and stays that way, the ribs shouldn't move much.
HAHAHA #blessed. Best part of the video.
Love the key joinery idea. #willsteal
