Step 4Prep and cut the block
Cut the block of wood so that it is roughly the same size as the strumpet doll. Sand it down if needed.
Lay the lifeless naked body against your (block of) wood. Decide where you want to impale her with specific knives, and make corresponding marks on the wood with a fine point sharpie. For the type of stand design that I will use, it will be best to position the longest knife at the top of the block and the shortest at the bottom (Actually, I am pretty sure that holds true for all knife block designs). I decided to have one knife going through her fat head, one through her torso, one cutting off her arm, and one slicing open her leg.
The next step is to cut out the slots, any suggestions on how we do this strumpet doll?
::chuckles:: so true, so true...
Seriously though, finding a way to cut out these slots was one of the most time consuming parts of this entire project. I went at them with a drill, a jig saw, a sawz all, a hammer, a screwdriver, and a dremel, and was only able to make small progress. In the end a milling machine was used, and the slots came out pretty nicely. If you do not have access to a milling machine, your best bet is to drill a series of holes as close together as possible down the length of the slot, and then use a hammer and sharp chisel to knock out the spaces in between.
Once the slots are knocked out, drill two holes at the bottom of the board for the bolts to go through. Bolt placement does not need to be perfect. The holes just need to be at the proper height to prevent the longest knife from hitting anything behind the block while still allowing for a nice sturdy feel (angle the bock too low and the longest knife will hit the table, angle it too high and the block is liable to fall over). There is some wiggle room in this step, because after the holes are drilled, the bolts can be screwed further in / out to adjust the angle at which the block rests.

DING DING DING We have a winner! Its been two weeks, and I was wondering who would be the first to get (or at least mention) the Simpsons reference. I was beginning to worry that everyone thought that I was some kind of sexist weirdo, instead of just a regular weirdo.

yeah... you're just a 'regular weirdo' not one of those crazy ones. These would make great Christmas presents. Maybe a nice Mother's Day gift?
