Build instructions
Materials and accessories
| Qty | Part |
|---|---|
| 1 | Neodymium disc magnets and two-component adhesive |
| 2 | Wood screws 4 × 35 mm with wall plugs |
Also: sandpaper (grit 120 and 240), a utility knife or fine saw and, for joints, a rubber mallet.
Carving and finishing
- Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
- Clamp the strip with the later back face up. Mill the magnet pockets and screw holes; the pockets go down to the set skin at the front. Then cut out the outline.
- Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
- Lightly break the edges with sandpaper (grit 120, then 240) and remove burrs.
Assembly and final touches
- Stack as many magnets into each pocket as will fit, all with the same side to the front, and pot them with two-component adhesive. Do not choose a skin thinner than 1.5 mm, otherwise it will crack.
- Screw the strip to the wall with two screws. Put knives on spine first so the edge does not scrape over the wood.
- Finally oil, wax or varnish; for toys use oils or varnishes that are saliva-resistant according to EN 71-3.
