Magnet Board

Posted on March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 by Jim Mellema

One of the things we enjoy doing on our travels is hunting for the perfect magnet to commemorate our time in each location. Years ago we chose magnets as souvenirs because they’re nice and small and they travel well. We always stuck them to the fridge in our old coach, but they don’t stick to this Samsung in the new bus! So we had to find a new way to display our beloved souvenirs.

Today we took down the factory picture, and installed a sheet of metal in the frame!
It took an hour, pliers, tin snips and a level. It only cost $20 for the metal at Lowes.

Now our grocery list and travel memories are back where they belong.

We started with a generic black and white factory picture of trees
After getting the picture off the wall, Carol pulled the staples holding it to the frame
After carefully measuring, Jim cut the sheetmetal to fit with his tin snips
Yay! It fits! Measure twice, cut once.
We put the old backing board back on to firm things up.
Carol used her tool to shoot the points that hold it all together.

And there we are with our finished project! Our grocery list has it’s home, and all our magnets. Those magnets sure do bring some memories. The Red Rocks of Sedona, The dark night sky of Organ Pipe National Park. More than a couple beach scenes. It does look like we have some free space, gotta hit the road for a new destination to get some more magnets.

Do you have any suggestions where we should go?
