DYI Magnetic knife holder

I saw magnetic knife holder in one of the English movie which tells the story related to a restaurant and it's kitchen. From then onward I was searching for a good magnetic holder.Not able to find it in stores located at Kochi. Then searched in Indian online shopping sites.I was able to find some but really costly. After that when I got a chance to visit US, I searched the same. Its cheaper comparing with Indian sites. But still costly.

So automatically the search extend to DIY sites. Hope you know what is DIY. Do It Yourself where people share their experience with creating things themselves which costs almost nothing. Got some tutorials there to setup magnetic knife holder but those needs more effort.So decided to explore our kitchen for anything which will help to setup the magnetic holder easily.

Luckily I found our windows which is just made of iron rods. It made the things easy I had to collect some magnets and stick into that window. Sharing some photos. Hope it may help others.

Creative How to Do It Yourself (DIY) sites

Normally after the lunch hours in office people will be in a sleepy mode. Productive things are difficult to come at that time. Last week when we were sitting like that, suddenly a conversation started on a toy car which was seen in my colleagues cabin. It was presented to him as X'Mas gift. It was a car which can go forward if we apply a backward force.

The conversation soon went through so many toys which were used by surrounding people in different ages and finally settled on the pop pop boat and what is the science behind that boat which runs using a candle by producing a top top sound. Then the google started and find a link on how to build a pop pop boat

The building of pop-pop boat was simple. After that the site http://www.instructables.com/ got my attention.It contains so many hobby projects and interesting things. But there was not enough time as it was office hours. So just googled similar sites like that and got so many .Some are listed below. Hope you will also like these sites.

These sites are commonly known as DIY sites. ie Do It Yourself sites. These sites contains instructions to do things yourself as a hobby project or weekend project.
