Use Proxxon Tools to Make the Cutest Dino Refrigerator Magnets

 Who doesn't need refrigerator magnets? These cute dinosaur magnets are a great beginner project for getting acquainted with your Proxxon MICROMOT tools.

Supplies that you'll need:

• Thin wood blanks—mine were 1/16"
• Dino Magnets pattern—I used three of the eight patterns
• Magnets—found mine at the dollar store
• Super glue

Equipment that I used:

• Proxxon Bandsaw MBS/E
• Proxxon Scroll Saw DS 460
• Proxxon Professional Rotary Tool IBS/E with Flexishaft 110/BF

Let's make the dino frig magnets:

1. Mount the patterns for the dinosaurs on the blank. Cover one side of the blank with painter's tape. Mist the back side of the pattern with spray adhesive, and mount on the taped blank.  The painter's tape makes removal of the pattern easy without leaving any sticky residue.
   
   
   
2. Cut the shapes using the bandsaw or the scroll saw.
   
   
   
3. To cut the embedded collar line on the triceratops, I used the omnidirectional spiral blade.
   
   
   
4. Sand the edges using sanding drums and the flexishaft attached to the professional rotary tool.
   
   
   
5. Super glue magnets on the back side of the dinos.
   
   
   
6. Now, you're ready to put your dino frig magnets into action.
