What do you do when you have an old carrom board lying in your house? Options – 1. Store it behind a cupboard or a bed 2. Continue playing carrom on it and use the worn out board as an excuse for your poor carrom skills 3. Stealthily take the board out of the house and leave it by the roadside dump or 4. Make something useful out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I decided to go with option 4 and this is what happened. Once we had seen a wall mounted magnetic scrabble board at Toys’r’us. It looked so cool that we wanted to buy it. But, it was something created just for a display and not for sale. We came back dejected, but inspired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when the time came to “throw” the old carrom board, we decided to convert it into the magnetic scrabble board we always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The steps that we did…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We first tried to paint the board directly with a magnetic primer. But then we found out that such primers were not easily available in India and even the ones we found were very expensive. Also, our carpenter told us that they don’t really work so well. <\/li>
We got a very thin steel sheet and nailed it on to the board<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
