Rare Earth Magnet Cutting Board

What happens here

Using a ruler and pencil, mark the desired location for hanging holes on each cutting board. Drill these holes using a 1/2-inch Forstner bit to create clean, flat-bottomed holes. For smaller triangular boards, apply 5-minute epoxy to one corner and attach small rubber or wooden feet to prevent slipping. For other boards, particularly those designed to connect, drill shallow holes on the back and secure small magnets with 5-minute epoxy, covering with blue painter's tape while curing.

Goal: This step adds functionality by drilling holes for hanging and attaching small feet or magnets for versatile storage and display.
