Photo wall made of antique wooden board

Today we received a unique magnetic application, a photo wall made of antique wooden boards.
A very special attic find; A plank approximately 100 years old, with a considerable length of almost 5 meters.
Our customers quickly came up with the idea of ​​building a magnetic wall for pictures out of it.

Attic find

Photo wall made from an antique wooden board

Processing the plank:

The sanding work took several evenings. We faced the challenge of creating grooves on the back. After several attempts, it became clear that the grooves needed to extend about 3-4 mm from the surface. We then inserted sheet metal strips and secured them with a wooden strip.

The plank was securely attached to the wall.

For testing purposes, I ordered cube magnets in various sizes. All cube magnets are magnetized vertically (axially). Due to the three equal sides (length, width, height), the side with the magnetic poles can only be found with:

• another magnet
• a small compass Ø 20 mm, for magnetism and Co.
• or a Pole finder for easy determination and showing of the magnetic poles

determine.

When the cube magnets are brought together, they always align with their poles facing each other.
The handy and classic shape makes the neodymium cube magnets a universally applicable magnetic everyday helper.

We chose the cube magnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 10.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 7 kg and used it to attach our pictures.

Now I just need to order 100 more magnets to fill the board :-).
