And they probably cut down on angry phone calls with that cooling off period, like loading a musket.

Hey you asked how build signing worked, that’s on you man

You can grab these plates from a local metal shop, Amazon, etc. (these were $26 for 4 of the 6x6" for reference). Look for 1/8" hot rolled steel - you don't need anything thicker that'd be harder to drill and such.

If you're doing this, please send pics! I love seeing new ideas.

So anyway, I like this setup to utilize space and hope it helps someone else. It’s a great way to use your under-shelf space in a workshop and I’ve used it for years. Its just plates and a stack of neodymium magnets, stick one where you want to hang anything metal and…that’s it, super handy:

I needed to get this torque wrench out of the way, and luckily the case has reinforcement sections we can tuck some magnets in easily to below the form-fitting foam.

In order to make this easier to get on/off, I used smaller magnets in the case and a Magswitch beefier one to be a shelf of shorts:

Since the vertical area is about 8” across and I have a 1” thick level handy, I just used it ad a straight edge and clamped each plate so drill and screw and I went. When doing something like this, start in the middle so everything is more forgiving if somehow it gets a little off as you go.

Oh yeah, looking great!
