I too like the “Swiss” board. Is there any wood that smells like limburger? Where do you get your hardware?

Great work, these are always fun to make and make great gifts.

Nice boards, How is the cutter attached and what is it made of?

Cheeseslicing.com is where I got the supplies. Basically a metal rod, stainless wire and plastic knob with a set screw. The cutter is attached by using a Drill Press to run a 3” deep hole roughly half-way through the depth of the board and a 1/2” from the back edge. 1/4” drill bit worked great. I used my table saw sled to run the groove and notch out the back end to accept the wire smoothly. Some others built fancy jigs and precise angles, I just ran the depth deep enough to allow the wire to lay flat when the slicing mechanism is pressed down, they all work great. Made 10 of them as a trial run and had a lot of fun.

Thanks for the Source on those slicer parts. Looks like I have Christmas presents that I can make for next year.

You guys disappoint me. Not one “Cut the Cheese” joke. NOT ONE. Surrender your man-cards, boys…hahaha…very cool project btw.

Sorry I had missed this post. Those are great.
A very nice collection. And people seem to just love them.
