A knife block is a great gift project that you can easily build in less than a day. This compact knife block was designed to fit a limited counter space, eliminate some knife clutter and house the knives used only on a weekly basis, and also features an accessible spot for the handy kitchen scissors.

There’s a slight 15-degree angle to the block that gives a clear view of the knives but keeps them up out of reach of untrained hands. The design consists of basically two parts: a central block core and a pair of curved outer layers that act as stabilizers but give some style to an otherwise blocky shape.

    I am logged into my account. when I try to download a plan on my pc nothing happens but some adverts pop up at the top of the page. When I try to download the plan on my phone a banner appears at the top saying download now, when you push that it is some rubbish trying to get me to agree to pay a dollar a day for some bs games that I have no interest in. Seems like this is not legit.
