Magnetized Board

I have seen the idea of using magnets to organize all over the place. They usually seem to use abar magnet, but for some reason I seem to have a ton of these...

So I decided to make my own bar style magnet. I got a scrap piece of wood and drilled a bunch of holes in it.

The magnets were 3/4 inch and I drilled 3/4 inch holes so the magnets needed to be tapped in but not glued.

 I did a quick test to make sure it was strong enough to hold what I wanted. It worked out so I proceeded to covering it. I was going to use paper but had an old shirt that is an awesome blue so I used fabric instead.

 All that was left was to hang it up and put it to use.
