Magnetic Wall Chess, with custom board

Step 5Adding the magnets!

Adding the magnets!
Picture 1- I Figured it would be best if all the magnets were either north up, or south up, this way if the coins/washes became magnetized, they would still all work! the way to ensure this is by taping one magnet as a guide.

Pictures 2- I found the easiest way to put the magnets in the holes, was to use a small stack of the coins/washers and kinda push the magnet in place, then slide the coins to one side, leaving the magnet behind.

Picture 3- Magnets all in place!

At this point i decided to stick tape over all the magnets as an extra measure this however is optional!
