I'm looking at putting together a magnetic jig to hold blades that I'm restoring, mainly during hand sanding. I've seen Bill Ellis' and Rayman's designs which have given me some pointers...already got the rare earth magnets, a range of off-cuts to use as a base and a sheet of aluminium 0.032" thick to use as a heat-sink. Does anyone have any hints or tips they're willing to share? Preferred dimensions, extra features they find useful. I'll be attaching it to a Black and Decker type portable work-bench using a couple of coach bolts through the jig and the peg holes in the work-top. I'll post pics tomorrow once I've got things laid out.
