Thank you for taking the time to feedback. It is so much appreciated you took the time to like and leave a comment. I am very glad you found this helpful.
Thanks for the cool technique, this immediately gave me ideas for the next project! Maybe you can also show a finished project that uses this mechanism next time?
So, I'm not the only one this has happened to! I made a very nice small box once, buried the magnets tightly, only to have the lid pop open instead of closed! Great tip Rob.
Definitely not the only one my friend. Because of my frustrations I started thinking about a process I could use to take care of my issues of the past.
"Super" glad I watched this. I can't count the number of times I have installed magnets in 3D prints and now woodworking projects, and seeing this tape method is a brilliant and foolproof method for finding and keeping the polarity.
Thank you Kurt. This has helped me in the past when I am using weaker magnets. I may put out an addendum to the benefit of using stronger magnets in the future.
For these magnets I cut 0.8" deep, they are 2mm thick slightly less than the 0.8". I want room for glue under and a little dap very slight above to allow sanding over the top without scratching up the magnets. Each different style/manufacturer magnet I measure and test size and depth. I do the initial test using my jig I used for testing magnet and dowel sizes. That jig is covered in this video: th-cam.com/video/jk5rQf836HY/w-d-xo.html
As I was making this video and sharing with a friend he indicated using blanks was his method. I have used washers as blanks with some of my larger/stronger magnet projects. But, I hadn't found strong enough smaller magnets for these smaller cover projects. My friend shared a link to magnets he used. So, I am going to try those out and see how they work. Always looking for easier and surefire methods.

Where has this trick been the past many years I could have use it. Thank you for the tip.

That's a good idea. I should have shown the finished cribbage board in the video.

Glad it gave you some ideas. You definitely are not the only one that has been plagued by this challenge.
about to install magnets in board feet and this will be so helpful
Glad you found the information helpful. It made a real difference to me after figuring this out. Thank you for taking time to leave a comment.
Great idea!
Glad you found this useful.
Good information brother..
Thanks you for the kind words and appreciate you leaving the comment.
Simple great idea!
So glad you found it helpful. Even more thankful yoou took the tie to leave a comment.
Good stuff and I have a new technique now to put them in place.
Thank you Kurt. This has helped me in the past when I am using weaker magnets. I may put out an addendum to the benefit of using stronger magnets in the future.
Great video, as always!
How deep do you cut the magnet pockets -- do you leave an "air gap" above the magnet?

I thought at first you were simply going to use steel rounds on the cover and magnets on the main in order to make magnet polarity a total non issue!
