I had the idea and bought the steel sheets last Christmas - proof that, when I come out with 'I have this idea...' and nothing happens, it doesn't mean it'll never happen ;D ;D ;D
May I introduce: The FRIT BAR

....and, while I was at it, a notice board (with lampworked magnets, of course):

I love it Sabine ;D
That's a great idea they'll be so hand too. :)
Nifty ;D - such a clever idea!
They are fab ;D
Thanks - once I actually started, it was really quick to do - they're sprayed with car spray paint, covered in clear vinyl (so I don't have to worry about scratches), and 12x1mm neodymium magnets glued to the lids - they're meant to hold up to 1lb in weight, which I don't quite believe (not vertically, anyway), but so far, they've all stayed up ;D
Fantastic idea, Sabine!
We were talking about magnets for cabs at Manda's recently ... hmmm .... ;D ;D
Lol, absolutely - I'll be making more magnets for the Christmas season ;D
Oh, where do you get those magnets from Sabine? I made some camper van fridge magnets and was going to make more fused ones, but the ones I used slide down the fridge!!!
ETA: Never mind Sabine, Google is my friend - I've never heard of these before x Fab storage/display idea!
Here you go, Dawn, just look for the right size that you want - I used 12x1mm discs or the frit, and 6x2mm discs for the lampworked magnets - they all happily hold thick cardboard or tons of sheets of paper up:

And a reminder to refresh page before editing a post ;D
Thank you Sabine x
What a brilliant idea Sabine, my work area might now get re-vamped. :)
Thanks :D It's hard to see on the photo, but it looks nice and colourful in real life, and I think, in time, a natural geography (according to colours and/or frequency used) will develop on the board ;D ;D
Fantastic solution! :)
Fab! :)
I want a frit bar! That's really cool
:) It's really dead easy, Krysia, all you need (really) is magnets to glue on your frit pots, and something metal-y to stick them to!
my problem is the wall to attach it too ::) the only wall that I have is behind the torch and that would mean me leaning over it. 'though I am tempted to hang it of the right hand side of the glass storage....
very nifty indeed.
Oh, and my ideas have the same sort of gestation period!
