And now for something completely different!

For years I have wanted a magnetic building board and I finally decided it was time to do something about it!

A couple of years ago I remodeled my shop and built a nice big work bench, a good work surface is the foundation for great model building! I added furniture levelers to the legs on the bench so that I could use my laser level to ensure the bench was as flat as possible, I used quality furniture grade plywood for the bench top to ensure it would remain dimensional stable and flat and I used contact cement to bond some sheet metal to the bench top. My new magnetic building 'board' was now complete and all I needed now were the fixtures.

As with any design project, my first step is always research. I spent many hours searching the web for fixture ideas (and not finding a lot) and many more hours thinking about how I can do things better or come up with something new and useful. I think my magnetic building board fixtures will always be a work in progress because there's always something that you'll wish you had a third hand for when building.

So if you have an idea for a magnetic fixture, let me know and we'll see if it's worth developing. If I decide to use your idea then you will get the very first fixture at no cost! So lets see if we can make this the best building system together!
