My wife asked me to make something that could hold 3 or 4 prices of paper. Sort of like a brag board for good grades or pictures or something like that.
We'd seen pictures online that just had cloths pins on a board or something like that all fancied up.
When we went to find some suitable clips all I found were magnetic ones, figured I could take the magnets off and reuse them, until I found a piece of bar stock that I had.
So I got to work and I resawed the piece of walnut that I had on the bandsaw, then I cut a dado out for the bar stock to go into and mixed up a little epoxy to hold the bar in place, not that it was going anywhere b cause the dado was tight. Then I glued the thin piece back on and got to sanding.
Put a coat I'd shallac on it. Sanded it down and added 4 coats of water based polyurethane.
Now we have a neat little thing to hang up with barstock in it to put magnets to anywhere along the board.
Topped it off with some pictures frame hanging wire and two eye hooks and the project is done.
