Perfect for all these magnets--the car in the upper right is a hint of the boards original purpose

My husband had used this oil drain pan and was ready to discard it---he thought I was insane when I rescued it--- I was looking for a magnet board and knew this great size and shape would work if I could only get all the gunk off.   A scrubbie, some Comet, and the garden hose was all it took.  I punched two holes with a nail and threaded some ribbon for hanging, and voila....
