In a small apartment, counter space is at a premium. Knife blocks are huge and often unsightly, so I resolved to make an attractive, convenient solution. Several people commented that they would pay for such a product, so I opened Pretty River Woodworking on Etsy. As a second personal project, I needed a space to store my barbecue utensils. Here’s the Black Walnut barbecue holder.

Finishing the project
Where did you get the magnets, or is that a trade secret?
I buy them at Lee Valley (woodworking, gardening store in Ottawa). I’ve ordered online before, and it’s slightly cheaper, but the service is great and it’s convenient to pick up precisely what I need.
you can re-purpose magnets from old hard drives as well as from some electric tooth brushes.
Or buy them off Amazon, eBay, etc
