I collect Silver Bullion coins as another way to protect my financial future. I recently bought some new coins and had a bit of a worry about their authenticity. I have been looking for something that is called a coin slide. It is basically a bunch of Neodymium Magnets, on a slide that you test silver bullion on.

So the workshop was opened for a whole 4 minutes 😅 and this is the terrible creation that I came up with. Material build list: 10 x Neodymium Magnets with 3M sticky pads 1 x 125mm x 75mm length of 10mm thick MDF A Bit of PVA Wood Glue Equipment Used: Hand Saw 2 x Ratchet Clamps The MDF length wad cut into 2 lengths, 90mm x 75mm and 35mm x 75mm.
