Gents,
Saw a pic on here once with a guy who had covered his bench in steel and used square magnets to align parts for assembly.
I thought it was an interesting idea, so I ordered some square magnets off fleabay. Apparently not all magnets are equal as these are not magnetized on the edges and only attract on the flats. Not useful. Did more looking on line, and I find all sorts of 1" sq types that will work, for about $4 each. Not economically viable if you need 40-50 to align all the ribs on a wing.
Anyone familiar with using magnets? Where did you get them?
