Introduction

I recently obtained some Rare Earth Magnets and was really astounded by their strength! I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with them, so we began using them to hold' reminder notes, photographs, and our niece's drawings on our refrigerator. Then I decided that 1 could make a wooden holder for the magnets to improve both their appearance and their ease of use. Besides, I am always on the look out for projects that allow me to use up those small pieces of exotic wood that are so, so expensive!
