Hanging up tools 2
Author: Bettina Schläpfer, Hinwil, Switzerland
This sturdy hanging construction was created by a "magnetohpile" cabinet maker
This year I had the opportunity to set up my workbench in the new cabinet maker's workshop myself. Had to have a tool board of course.
I knew that I wasn't going to use common tool holders. First of all, I am a magnetophile and second of all, I am not a fan of common tool holders in which the tools get stuck and are hard to get out of :-)
I randomly ordered some stronger and less strong magnets and started drilling. Initially, I wanted the magnets to be invisible and attached to the backside, but the bevelled-edge chisels and screwdrivers wouldn't stick. Only the ploughs would work that way. The other tools I hung up with disc magnets glued into drill holes in the front.
But I didn't magnetise everything: I hung up hammers and angle brackets on nails. That works well. A magnetic hammer wouldn't be all that practical. But I do like that the screw drivers are magnetic :-)
Magnets used:
- S-10-05-N (bevelled-edge chisels, screwdrivers and pliers)
- S-12-06-N (bevelled-edge chisels, screwdrivers and pliers)
- S-20-05-N (ploughs)
The main weight of the plough is carried by two screws.
It sticks to the board thanks to a
S-20-05-N that is embedded in the backside of the board.
I love this solution. Removing tools from the board is convenient and putting them back is just as easy.
Thanks a lot for your magnets. I like them more every day!
