Magnetic Wall Chess, with custom board

Step 3Drilling the magnet holes!

Drilling the magnet holes!
Picture 1- Start by marking out the centre of each square (im sorry but i forgot to do this with the computer template! so it took me longer)

Picture 2- Measure the width of your magnets, mine worked out at 4mm. Get the correct drill bit and start drilling!

The best procedure here is to have a scrap piece of wood that you can drill into - this gives a cleaner hole.

Picture 3- Drilling complete! (you can now remove the paper template)

Picture 4- neaten up the holes using your scalpel blade.

Picture 5- You should now have two boards, one with holes, one without.
