Scavenging. Magnetic knife rack built using hard drive magnets (without power tools) Wood: I had some "left over" poplar planks ( 1/4 x 3 x 4 -- see picture for mm measurements) and several pieces of nice looking red wood of unknown provenance (5/16 by 1/4, 15 in long). Poplar is a bit soft, so I am not sure how it's going to withstand daily use. I expect to see scratches as time goes by. Magnets: Hard drive magnets still attached to flat brackets. I got a bit greedy and used 7 magnets.
If I had to do it over (and I just might), I would have used 6 magnets to make the bar 15 inches long. I decided to leave the magnets attached to brackets, because the brackets provided the spacing between magnets. It was easy to glue them without magnets deciding to suddenly (and violently) to attach to each other. The art of recycling, reusing, repurposing & upcycling :: Recyclart !
