A New Build In The Workshop

Evening all

With the Woodpeckers closed until the 2nd week of January, I've been doing some reorganising and tidying.
But I'm here with a cheeky little update on a build that I did yesterday!

I collect Silver Bullion coins as another way to protect my financial future. I recently bought some new coins and had a bit of a worry about their authenticity.

I have been looking for something that is called a coin slide. It is basically a bunch of Neodymium Magnets, on a slide that you test silver bullion on.
Now they aren't overly expensive, I've seen them run from £20-£50+. But I needed one quicker than I could get it delivered.

So the workshop was opened for a whole 4 minutes 😅 and this is the terrible creation that I came up with.

Material build list:
10 x Neodymium Magnets with 3M sticky pads
1 x 125mm x 75mm length of 10mm thick MDF
A Bit of PVA Wood Glue

Equipment Used:
Hand Saw
2 x Ratchet Clamps

The MDF length wad cut into 2 lengths, 90mm x 75mm and 35mm x 75mm. I sanded down one end on the shorter length so that I could angle the slide.
24 hours it was left to dry by clamping the 2 ends together and kept in the workshop overnight.

Once I was happy with the glue job, I used a 2kg weight to test its strength and it passed it amazingly much to my surprise.

Once I was happy with the strength and the build quality, I attached the Neodymium Magnets side by side, top to bottom. This allowed me to create the slide.

All done and dusted in 2 minutes, not bad for a build with no planning ahead 😅

I'll be back in the next few days for an update on our DHF Proposal run.

See you all soon
