268968 Michael Suwczinsky <nicknaylo@g...> 2019‑07‑27 Re: magnets
My smithy is sheathed and roofed in corregated steel, and I’ve got pages
and printouts and plans all stuck to it with an array of scrounged super
magnets.
Regular old fridge magnets don’t last and I’ve taken to harvesting 1/2”bits
of 1/8x1/16 out of fancy booze and electronics  packaging.
Time to bite the bullet and order online, my sad  devotion to the idea I
can find what I want in brick and mortar world has not conjured up the
droids,, I mean magnets I’m looking for.
