To date, to improve life in the kitchen, many devices have been invented and one of them is a knife stand. Why is it needed and what is its dignity? Thanks to her, all the knives are constantly in sight and at hand, and also they are not stupid in such a stand, unlike if they simply lay in a heap in a drawer of the kitchen table.
There is a large selection in the stores, but the price is not at all pleasing, for this very reason the author decided to make a more budgetary option, made a detailed photo report of the work done, and generously shared with us.
The master used an ordinary PVC pipe as a case, the diameter can be taken 19-23, and fibers from plastic brushes were taken as a filler, all materials were available from the author, I had nothing to buy, but an analogue from the storefront costs at least 2 thousand rubles.

Step-by-step instructions for making a stand for kitchen knives with filler do it yourself.
First of all, the author takes the plug from the PVC pipe and, with the help of a hacksaw, cuts the ring off at the base.It is very easy to cut plastic with a hacksaw.It turns out here is such a ring.Cut it with scissors in half in one place.Then we insert into the pipe and mark with a marker the junction of 2 parts of the ring, and the excess must be cut off.The ring should sit tightly in the pipe without clearance.After that, the ring is glued at the incision site using super-glue and soda.Yes, the author applies baking soda), namely, a little soda is poured on the applied layer of glue, according to the master, the effect is excellent.Next, the finished ring should again be glued to the base of the plug, this is done with super-glue and soda.The reworked PVC plug should fit tightly but effortlessly into the pipe cavity. The bottom of the stand must be removable so that it can be disassembled, rinsed and dried at any time.And so the body is ready, now we turn to the filler, namely these are two plastic brushes from which the fiber (bristle) is extracted As it is removed, the master cuts the ends with scissors to the size of the PVC pipe so that they do not peek out of the body.You can also pull out with pliers, holding the bristles at the base and pulling yourself while holding the brush itself with your hands or holding it in a vice.The extracted material should be pre-measured and placed in the plug housing.After that, the author glues the fibers of the brush with hot glue to the plug, all elements must be tightly fitted to each other.This is how all the glued bristles of the brush should look in the end.Then the master covers the pipe with spray paint (you can choose any color, at your discretion)The painted surface must also be coated with glossy varnish. Be sure to let the product dry after painting, and then you can assemble everything into a single whole.We take all the knives available in the kitchen and place them in a brand new stand.That's actually such a wonderful stand with a filler turned out.As you see, there is nothing complicated here and it’s quite within the power to repeat it to any person who wants to, at least a little who knows how to hold the tool in his hands.
