Making A Magnetic Bulletin Board Part 2: The Steel

Birch · ·

In this video we salvage a piece of heavy gauge sheet metal and completely remove the old finish. Next, we drill and deburr a series of mounting holes and repaint the steel. Finally, the steel bulletin board gets mounted to a cabinet door and we use the magnets from part one to show how well the whole system works!

Mini Ball Head

The small ball head I use on the end of my mini boom has been out of production for years. This is a selection of similarly sized small ball heads. Buy a ball head with a metal ball and socket. The plastic ones are trouble.
