Magnetic knife holder

I recently learned a very simple way to make a magnetic knife holder with my own hands. This convenient device has long been lacking in my kitchen, which my wife often reminded me of.
It turns out that such a holder can literally be assembled from what is available. The idea is this: make a thin frame of wooden battens, cover one side with plastic, and glue it with a decorative film for appearance. And inside, paste any pieces of magnets from dynamic heads, hard drives, etc.
I used the protrusion from IKEA in the same color as the color of the kitchen, and the stainless steel sheet from the old coffee machine. Magnets from old hard drives.
Magnets are glued to hot glue. You can also fill them with epoxy.
If you have access to the milling machine, then you can take a solid piece of wood, such as a bar. Cut a groove, insert magnets and decorate with varnish. It will look very stylish.
But still, it is better to use a stainless steel, since the metal is thin and magnetic force attracts the knife more strongly.
My magnetic holder is screwed with ordinary bolts on the sides.
My wife is now more pleased than ever and enjoys using my homemade product.
Such practical things, despite their small size, are very useful.
