Custom knife rack

A bit more challenging than the tissue box, but it works well. Will try it out this weekend!

 

Jim,

Very nice! I like it!

 

Oh to have those skills (in my husband!)

 

Jim, when you go into production let me know. Very cool indeed!

Are those knives from the place whose name we do not mention?

 

Jim,

That really is pretty cool. Nice work.

Probably so! They came with a nice set of pots we just bought for our kitchen. Sometimes we have to compromise!!

 

I'm assuming you all are talking about WalMart. It's a great organization that offers many people that would be otherwise unemployable, a job. Many from my church work there and have retirement benefits and love their jobs. If you're not talking about WalMart I apologize.

 

Yes, talking about Walmart - but only joking. Some people on other forums will start a flame war if you mention the name.

Acually, I should ammend that name to "the place whose name we do not mention, but go to every chance we get. HAHA!

...does take a long time to type all that though...

 

Linda, I echo your sentiments about Wal-Mart. I remember when W-M first came to our small town. Among all the complaints, I stated I can now get Duct Tape at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Every other store used to close at 3:00 PM on Saturday. W-M closed at 9:00. The new store is 24 hours. I do understand the downsides. But the small family stores still exist. There is a place for them. Steve

 

I received my knife block from Jim this week and installed it last night. I'm very happy with how it all came together. Because of our custom galley speakers, we didn't have room for the 4-knife rack that Jim made for himself - we could only fit 3. We choose the 7.5" Chef, 7.5" Bread and 3" Paring knife, all purchased from Wal-Mart. The knives go great with the Camp-Inn trailer.

It seems to be such a great solution for the knife rack problem, that I'm posting photos of the rack before and after it was installed - and a big thank you to Jim!

 

Thanks for the pictures, Evan! I didn't get to see the finished results before we shipped it to you. Looks good, glad it worked out!

 

Evan, very nice!

OK, we just received our 3 knife block from Jim.....
A very handy addition indeed! Top quality workmanship.

Kent - did you get the same three knives from Wal-Mart?
