2) Submitted by Dennis Scroggins, from Carrollton, IL on 1/3/2010 Customer Rating: I have been building mantle/wall clocks for friends and family. A local gift shop owner saw one of my walnut clocks and wanted me to start building some for her shop. The back of the clock is 1/8" wood with a mirror mounted on the inside. I was using small wood screws to attach the back. If you switched from wall to mantle, you would take the screws out, slide the clock and base out, turn it over and insert. I wanted to make the clocks "customer friendly" so I used some round magnets & washers from Rocklers and it works perfect. I drilled a 1/8" in to the back of sides of the clock the depth of the wood & magnet. I then routed down 1/8" over the hole so the wood was flush leaving a hole the right depth for the round magnet to fit into. On both sides of the 1/8" back I routed out the depth of the washer. I used super glue to mount magnets & washers and turned out nice.

Very powerful little magnets that were just what I needed to finish off a hinged drawer front for a computer tray project. No ugly latches needed after I installed these little beauties!

5) Submitted by Jerry, from Hartsville, SC on 8/24/2009 Customer Rating: Great magnets, especially as door catches.

6) Submitted by James Massengill, from Crossville, TN on 8/17/2009 Customer Rating: Like several of the other users I use the magnets as door catches. They work great as an invisible catch when secured under a thin cloth or wood veneer.

7) Submitted by Steve Ludwik, from kennesaw, GA on 8/14/2009 Customer Rating: I built this train set for my sons second birthday. I used the magnets on one end of the hitch and a screw and washer on the other end. They are plenty strong to hold all the cars together but they also pull apart easily enough for him. For the builders out there, I user 1/2" MDF for the wheels using a keyhole saw on my drill press, 1/4" dowel for the axels, and 1/2" birch plywood for the bodies. I used a 1 1/4" brad nailer and glue to keep the pieces together. I cleaned up the edges with sheetrock mud, put on two coats of primer, two coats of final spray paint (left over cans from other projects) and then two coats of high gloss poly. I bought only the magnets, screws for the hitches and the dowel. The rest of the train was built from scraps. Total cost was $15.00 He plays with it constantly and loves how the hitches grab.
