I feel like honesty in a relationship is key. So whenever prepping Mother’s Day presents, I feel it’s best to let her know she’s been bamboozled right up front.

So anyway, I like this setup to utilize space and hope it helps someone else. It’s a great way to use your under-shelf space in a workshop and I’ve used it for years. Its just plates and a stack of neodymium magnets, stick one where you want to hang anything metal and…that’s it, super handy:

I needed to get this torque wrench out of the way, and luckily the case has reinforcement sections we can tuck some magnets in easily to below the form-fitting foam.
In order to make this easier to get on/off, I used smaller magnets in the case and a Magswitch beefier one to be a shelf of shorts:

Since the vertical area is about 8” across and I have a 1” thick level handy, I just used it ad a straight edge and clamped each plate so drill and screw and I went. When doing something like this, start in the middle so everything is more forgiving if somehow it gets a little off as you go.

Quick project since plates came in: I like to use plates and magnets for simple tool storage. First up: drilling and counter-sinking plates, ordered a stack of 6” squash plates for this but if space on garage shelves:

Getting in the hot tub at 10pm for the back seemed like a good idea to eventually get some sleep…but as I stare at the door 25ft away, there may be some regrets setting in.

Current status: fixing builds for OSS projects I haven't touched for a little while and wondering what in the heck I was thinking.

After it’s dead, this one’s a quick replacement. Don’t use too much force, but these outlet testers can also help you align the outlet when tightening things down too. As always, use a voltage meter to make sure everything you’re near is dead.

Alrighty, let’s start small. Bathroom has been bothering me with cables, so let’s go USB for a few things and tidy up.
First tip: these circuit finder and outlet tester combos are super handy. It’s a bathroom, so I can trip the GFCI instead of going downstairs to the breaker panel.
