Do these interfere with the GF? Are they magnetized on the top as well as the bottom? I’ve seen the reference to these in the past but wasn’t sure if they interfered.

when they still have the metal plates attached, there is little to no magnetism on the top. you can flip them over metal side down on the crumb tray and it won’t stick at all. that’s one of the reasons they work so well.

Looks like I’m going to have to give this a go!

The backplate on HD magnets usually has some threaded holes. I installed a short handle on mine, makes them much easier to insert and remove.

Do you have a list of what thickness boards should rest on what level?

Had a friend make these with his 3D printer for me, he only charged me for the filament which is pretty generous of him. I’m super excited to see how well they work, thanks for the pattern!

@henryhbk My wife has a suggestion for version 2.0 make rounded ones to handle rounded wood!

Wait, which way do you mean “rounded”:

  1. this?

@henryhbk actually it would be more rounded/curved so as to be able to accommodate a round cut of wood such as what’s gotten from the craft store or if you cut a circle for one of those sign decorations


Like if I had this cut out and needed to burn it without the crumb tray for some reason. That would be extremely useful for sure

That should sit on the rectangular version (tangent) since I can’t make every possible radius. But easy enough to make a jig like this if it’s a common specific diameter (but differing thicknesses) you do for frequent batches.
