These cheese slicer kits make a great project and gift! I have some suggestions for making. 1. When sawing the kerf, I put a couple of small blocks 1/4” or so on one side of my table saw saw sled to make the front groove less deep. Then the handle won’t hit the counter when cutting cheese. 2. I made a jig from 2 pieces of hardboard glued to a 3/4” x 1-1/2” x 6” and drilled a hole 5” up To index the hole For the rod. I started the hole with a regular bit then switched to a long bit to complete. I drilled 1/8”Less than the directions. 3. In order to get the rod past the wire loop, I cut a little deeper on that side than directed on a second half pass. Get some extra wires as it is easy to break one. They are easy To Replace. I used wire cutters to cut off the tiny nib on the winding so the wire would not bind on either side. I made 8 in a couple of days. Good luck!

I have made six of these the first was for personal use and the others were for Christmas Gifts for my daughters and Wedding Gifts. All of them were loved by the receivers. There is a learning curve with them at least for the beginners (like me as this was my first woodworking project kit). I have been making them now without much problem now. I would suggest using your first kit as a practice unit and making it out of cheap scraps of wood. The nice thing about doing this is the device can be taken apart and then installed on a good piece of wood and you will have a great Cheese Slicer.

I have made more than a dozen of these cheese slicers, both large and small. They are fun to make. Often scrap woods can be used to good effect. The main challenge is cutting the wire slot deep enough to secure the looped end of the wire around the base of the handle. These kits make great gifts.

Much easier to use than some competitors, especially drilling hole for shaft.

Fragile wire breaks easily. Going to be difficult to clean, wire twist will hold food. Full inch or more of surface not useable. Woild not sell or give as gift. 4Pack of extra wires available, $ plus steep postage fee
