Base making: possible options

The container, which will play the role of a stand for kitchen knives, can be made of different materials that differ in texture. For example, a case for an accessory is:

from a plastic pipe sufficiently large diameter. Usually, for this purpose, a sewer, previously unused pipe (residue) is used. In order for the frame to be complete, plugs are also used. A similar plastic knife stand with your own hands can have a spectacular decoration in the form of a painting or an accessory;
made of wooden blocks... This will require five pieces of material of the same thickness. With the help of separate walls, you can form a parallelogram, which will become the basis of the stand;
the basis can also be an old book or any cookery collectionthat you are not using. But, there is a drawback - wet, just washed knives cannot be stored in such accessories.

The stand itself can be made of other materials, for example, used wine bottles, measuring glasses. Sometimes even unnecessary piggy banks are used.

Types of fillers

Anything that comes to hand is allowed as fillers. The main thing is to make the structure reliable, sealed and easy to insert tools. Among the available are such materials.

Bamboo sticks. A sufficient number of them will be required. It is necessary that the material occupies the space in the stand as tightly as possible, taking into account, of course, that knives will be additionally placed inside. Note that the length must be long enough for the blade to fit fully.
Cereals and legumes... They look spectacular in a transparent stand, especially if the layers alternate. Peas or beans of different colors are often added. This decor becomes truly interesting and accentuating in the kitchen. Long grain rice is excellent at picking up moisture, so you can insert knives into it immediately after washing.
Plastic bristles from brushes... To install the knife holder inside the brush, you just need to cut it off in solid bundles. One brush may not be enough for this purpose. Two or three tools can be used to seal the insert.
Sawdust or small wood shavings... A do-it-yourself knife holder with such filling is intended exclusively for dry tools. If you put a wet knife inside such a stand, mold will soon form inside.

Wall model in the form of a shelf

To make this model, you will need a small amount of wooden boards or bars, as well as self-tapping screws and an electric screwdriver. A jigsaw (they work faster) or a hacksaw may be useful. Follow the algorithm to correctly craft the accessory.

Take two boards of the same perimeter with a thickness of 15-20 mm. On one of them, sketch out the knife blades that will be stored in the stand. To do this, attach the knives in turn and circle the blades themselves with a pencil.
Do this so that in the future there is a small distance of 3-5 mm between the tools. This is done so that the knives do not touch.
Cut out the sketches, only 2-3 mm deeper. Consider the thickness of the knife as well. You can make the holes a little wider.
Then, from the second plank, make a grate so that the blades of the knives are completely visible. To do this, you can install additional strips between the knife niches.
On top of them, attach three horizontal strips that will serve as stops so that the knives do not fall out.

All fastening actions do not have to be performed with self-tapping screws. They are often replaced with good wood glue. After gluing, the do-it-yourself stand for kitchen knives must remain for a while for a more thorough drying. As a result, the excess material is removed, and the surface is sanded and varnished (optional).

On a note! When creating a bristle stand, so that the material is glued evenly, it is necessary to mount in a circle, ending in the middle.

Table model with legs

It's actually quite easy to replicate factory-type wooden coasters with your own hands. To do this, it is enough to have only a block of the desired shape, a chisel and a small list of tools.

Take a block with a side of 15-20 cm. It is important that it is not hollow inside.
Use a plane and chisels to make an inclined parallelepiped out of it.
A block cut at an angle will act as a solid stand.
In the resulting figure, cut a groove from the outside, a small shelf-holder for a cutting board will be inserted into it.
Then, in the upper part of the workpiece, cut a few holes with a chisel or on a machine to match the shape of the knife blade. Make as many niches as you want to store tools.
Then, from a small piece of plywood, cut a rectangle with a prepared cutout. Lubricate the groove for this shelf on the stand itself with adhesive. Then attach the holder with the cutout to the top.
Open the prepared stand with varnish, you can additionally decorate it with an emblem or sticker.

Knives can be placed in such stands in any convenient way. Form a pattern, for example, if the quantity allows

Insert the knife into the holder only after making sure that it is dry.

On a note! Be sure to make small holes on the back of the accessory in those places where the knives will be inserted. This will allow the tools to be well ventilated, even if there are drops of moisture left after washing.

	Sand the edges and round them. For this, you can use curly cutters.
	Separate the head of the little man from the mane. To do this, cut off the excess with a grinder so that the comb is thinner than the head.
