Metal chips & magnets

I was in need of something to pick up all of the metal chips in my shop so came up with this handy tool.

What I did was I took a board and nine hard drive magnets and came up with a magnetic broom.

I used the magnet mounting holes and some recycled screws to screwed them to a 1"X 2" about 12 inches long. Then cut off a clear cover from a 3 ring binder and screwed on the side of the board. After that I folded it over and stuck a small bit of Velcro on the back and it was done!



Now I can pick up metal chips and pull off the clear cover over the trash and it makes for easy clean up!
