I Built a FULLY MAGNETISED Gaming Table!

[@Miniac]

Using the picture frame is such a good idea

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million man!!! Super appreciated 😊😊😊!!!

[@j453]

Scott, go make one too! Wall magnetized terrain build-off go! Hehe

[@abelbabel8484]

This is why I love this channel. Other people magnetize bases, Marco magnetizes whole tables. EDIT: Marco, you must say the "ee" in "sheets" a bit longer :'D

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@KurtKn1sp3l]

5:48 magnetic shits, hearing this is even better then just reading about it.

[@Ainar86]

Magnetic shits are the people complaining when something isn't magnetized :D

[@abelbabel8484]

@@Ainar86 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :'D

[@corporalcaine287]

Lol I was just about to comment the same thing 😂🤣

[@jhiantgames]

Can I please like this more than once!!? @Marco could you provide some information on where you sourced the metal sheet?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million 😊😁😊 I found the metal base on a UK website that makes cuts on demand (I think something like Metals4You); of course they stopped shipping outside UK, but there a ton of these webstores or local businesses providing that kind of stuff 😉

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Fantastic!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😍😊😍 Thanks a million man!!!

Genius!! Jas😳👍

How could I not subscribe after that charisma in the intro, tho? What a likable guy.

For the walkways: I would glue magnets under the movable paths and use thin sheet of metal on edges of buildings that the magnets can attach. It would take some work to hide the metal, but basically same way you used to cover the base of your board. This way you can attach the walkways to any part of the structure.

[@Beschaulichkeit]

So, how about this: can parts be resin cast with fine iron powder added such that the components would be attracted to magnets? You could cast parts of the roof edge or battlements or similar in this method then add magnets to the walkways. You wouldn't have to hide strips of steel because the components would already by embedded with iron particles.

[@krftkrft4495]

The most underrated channel on youtube (ok, ok, the most underrated one i watch).

[@haydndean]

As a man who loves magnets, terrain, and space saving ideas, this video was great. Awesome idea and amazing end product. That oil wash is incredible for transforming your terrain.

[@ravencaine3469]

Fantastic was looking for guidance on this. Thank you

[@simonculley]

I love your videos you’re such a nice positive chap - and I’ve used a lot of your ingenious painting tips. Keep up the good work Marco!!! 👍🏻

[@AnythingButOnes]

Crazy good idea! Blends the terrain into the table too. Now if mat makers can hop on this and make magnetic mats

[@mikepalmer1971]

First time checking your channel out. That spray can techniques was really cool.

[@yaroslavpankratov5991]

Wow! It turned out cool!

[@Caniswalensis]

Hi Marco!! I love your videos. You are a real artist, and you do a wonderful job talking about what you do. This project is fantastico! You have my mind racing about my own terrain now. I love the beautiful warm reddish tones you achieved on the wooden parts of the starter box terrain. Could you please do a video about that terrain? ...or at least give me a basic idea of how to achieve that look? Thanks for all you do!

[@davemorris7845]

Love your little happy laughs of victory, great to see!

[@end_game]

You can countersink small 3-4 mm neodymium magnets to the tops of the walls where the walkways go, and the same magnets to the bottoms of the walkways so that they "click" into place. Just make sure you get the polarity right! This is such a cool idea, Marco. I'm totally going to steal this for my gaming kotatsu.

[@stealthflower]

A gaming kotatsu is quite possibly the most civilised thing I've ever heard of.

[@szametha]

So many great ideas! I would've given the big metal plate a crosswise sanding with 80-120 grit to give the pva more grip, especially around the edges where it tends to peel loose.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks 😁 Good advice! I skipped the sanding step only because I know well my PVA and all my edges are tightly locked under the frame

[@szametha]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Right, good point, I forgot they were hidden anyway. Btw many thanks for your awesome series on oilpainting! You've become my favorite youtube artist overnight. Incorporating traditional knowledge in model painting: This is The Way to move forward.

[@Allan_Lugia]

You could pressure different forms into the steel plate, or use a hammer. to get some mountains, or small hills. or a lake.

[@DonCurrywurst]

Okay first I thought "why would I do that", but then again, just put it on a wall like a painting and were nobody usually walks by and its an awesome way to store your board.

[@bitzbox]

This is such a brilliant idea! Glad to see that nothing fell off!

[@angelmoreno9362]

Wow!! Great idea!!! 🤟👏🤟👏🤟👏

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you

[@mc-eh4fw]

Geniale!! Bravo.

[@innsmouthharbour]

This is why I love your channel mate....I use magnets all the time with mini's but never considered making a board using them!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@redhotswing]

This is so cool! For bonus storage optimization, you could make your sheet double-sided. For example, wasteland on one side and grassland on the other.

[@stonehorsegaming]

Great idea, that certainly is proof of concept. Agree with you about the static boards. Will be interesting to see if you can do a full 6" by 4" board.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

I'm already working on a 4'x4' 😁😉

[@arnequedens366]

05:48 - am I the only one? Thank you Marco for your great content and your ideas

[@Bigelsiet]

Marco, just when we think you’ve given us everything we need you blow our minds with something new and inspirational get ready for an era of magnetic gaming tables and terrain thank you brother 🤘

[@socko47]

Another great vid and idea. My initial thought was ...would mixing in metal filings with your terrain mix to help increase the hold of the magnetic sheet material.

[@bikemike1b]

This is by far the coolest idea of storing a Gaming board, great Made, funny and foundated explaned as usally for you. Ím realy magnetized with this idea.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😁😁😁

[@therealDonMac]

Simply brilliant! I will definitely be making one of these for a buddy's house that we play at. It will definitely help with his lack of space. Thanks so much for the awesome idea!

[@gavinjames1145]

Only a day or two ago I was thinking how cool it would be to have a vertical board with catwalks, ladders/stairs and other platforms to allow for some horizontal movement. Magnets are a great idea!

[@QUIRISS]

Marco hitting new levels of creativity with every other video! And all this with a small baby in house - big respect!

[@GreySectoid]

This is such a cool idea, I started building one for myself as well.

[@evanhughes7609]

Pure genius.

[@rick_the_framer]

Bonkers! Genius stuff, love it!

[@kayprins6779]

EPIC plan, I am sooo combining this with my printable scenery collection :) I can even model the holes in before printing :)

[@ivanxucin88]

Dude, this is great stuff. It's not only functional, looks good, too.

[@chaoticpainting1507]

I'm always so jealous!! You make some of the most awesome stuff. Super creative. Once I'm done painting this barbarian I'm working on I'm going to start my 1st diorama!! Woot woot!

[@alfonxoduff]

Love you Marco, my fav hobby youtuber!!!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😊😁😊😘😘😘

[@silvernome]

This is so fantastic! Especially for those of us with small city apartments.

[@gvsgaius]

It's a bit fragile though, maybe - put it away from any corridor where you regularly walk by, else one day you'll bump your shoulder into your precious minis!

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Marco, Amazing idea! Fantastic workmanship too! Kind Regards Johnny

[@pixelpeek9963]

Still haven't gotten round to doing a table like this! Did you ever complete all the walkways? Would love to see an update video on this table

[@sshim950]

Fantastic idea and execution! Thanks for sharing!

[@SingleTrack66]

Love this man

[@a.j.askins3265]

So this is kinda a dumb question but I wanted to know what kinda desk you have in the background there, been looking for one to try and help organize my painting station

[@unclemongrel-setsailforfai6147]

Omg this is Epic!

[@cavemanworkshop]

Omg! I love this idea - and I am undertaking this project immediately while I have time off from my usual work!

[@lordshadowbolt]

Couple of ideas for walkways: You could fit some sort of buttress to some of the walls of the buildings that could then act as a point for the walkways to lay across. Alternatively, what about the edges of the frame? If you're just after storage, magnets installed on the frame could cover it.

[@robinwesterlund5563]

Oooh wow!! Thats the gamling table i need!!!

[@Steve_Keen]

What a great idea, and relatively simple project!

[@Xelnager]

Such a great idea! great work!!!

[@igelkott255]

it seems to have adhered just fine but I would suggest sanding the metal lightly to rough it up before applying terrain. I was also wondering if it might be better to spray on a layer of metal primer but that may not be necessary.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

I use an incredibly tough PVA for this kind of works 😉 There's no real stress applied on the texture and with the edges protected by the frame everything is super solid

[@sirdrakey]

love this idea I have been working on this idea too but using 3d printed terrain I was going to make use of a magnetic paint as a base coat. That idea might help you with the walkways and bridges

[@Isaac-hm6ih]

Magnetic... paint? How effective is that? I have a board worth of tall buildings and a tendency to use special rules which allow me to have models on walls. If paint can provide enough to magnetise to that would have a lot of potential.

[@crackedConstant]

Very nice! Amazing idea.

[@warsmithpainting]

Marco you are an absolute madman! This is a fantastic idea!

[@El.mosquito.]

Yip, this is going to be my next project for Infinity! Thanks Marco!

[@jonnil1997]

This is awesome, I wonder if using magnetic paint could achive someething similar.

[@mattcappelli5822]

Very cool idea! Would love to hear your recipe for the oil wash

[@vanien1]

[@20413475]

Nice. How is it like playing on a magnetic board with minis that are also magnetised in the base? Seams like it could hinder play what no?

[@caseyrusher8952]

I love this video and the idea of a magnetic gaming table! I'm definitely doing this!

[@vincentstella5131]

Awesome work and ideas as usual. Great job.

[@Darknight-vg1hw]

Fantastic idea,thanks for the great content.

[@jackthemayor2518]

Always interested in seeing what Marco will throw at the wall to see if it sticks.

[@kayprins6779]

If I want to google the metal sheet you used, what would be the search term, if I google metal sheet I get industrial stuff

[@TeamQuiggan]

IT is that stuff, you only need like 22 or 24 gauge sheet metal or sheet steel, you can usually find it at a hardware store like Home Depot or Canadian Tire. I use it with 1ft x1ft scrapbooking boxes to make my model cases.

[@jherazob]

I had considered doing this for a transportation case for a Kill Team, but never did it because I didn't think texturing the metal sheet would allow the minis to stick to it again afterwards, it's great to know that not only it's possible, but even works with *terrain!* fantastic job! :D

[@RedHandedDaniel]

Marco! I love all your brilliant ideas, but this is my favorite one yet. I can do this for all my games and save so much space. Sincerely, thank you.

[@Frostsnake69]

MARCO! YOU ARE GENIUS! Now i know where will be my miniatures

[@monsterofvalhalla3397]

Perfect Idea for a platformer style version of Necromunda...!! Have the whole game played on the wall..

[@Ainar86]

Oh man, this sort of thing was my dream when I was 12. I ended up using a large sheet of chipboard which ended up warping due to pva glue. Also, it wasn't magnetized as we didn't have that kind of tech in the hobby back then so I kept my scatter terrain in boxes which greatly limited how much I could have.

[@ger5956]

That’s awesome dude!! Super creative way to store/display everything! I may have to try this in the future. Thanks for all the amazing content. Have fun and stay safe

[@Zozziful]

Very clever idea!

[@Vicky1138thx]

Fantastic idea Marco ... and I love the way you say “ metal sheets “ 👍🤣🤣🤣

[@ElderlyJoeDuffy]

How did you figure out the right ball bearing size for the washer magnet? Just trying them in the shop?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Yeah I usually buy two or three different sizes to make tests (often I bring with me the model I want to magnetize!)

[@Maxinkaiser]

excelente idea ...and excelente video like always!!!

[@corytokay9787]

Do you add an agitator to the jar of oil wash? I have one that keeps separating, and I'm wondering if it's safe to add something to it.

[@ctpopham]

Simply Amazing!! you are a true genius. Thanks for the awesome videos keep it up brother.

[@grillmeistergvwz5202]

Hey! Super nice work! Do you have problems with all the magnets that minis and or terrain "snap" together when they are to close to each other? An other question: Have you also tried mixing iron powder with pva to do a paste to put on maybe normal wood boards?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks!!! To minimise that issue I usually put the magnets in the centre of the bases; now that the most common size is 32mm is very rare to see the models moving by themselves 😁. Never tried the iron powder trick!!! I think it can work well with an high concentration of powder...

[@grillmeistergvwz5202]

[@MentoliptusBanko]

This is precisely what I should do with my scenery. It sits in a box and it is tedious to pull it out every time we play and put it back when finished. And I already started magnetizing everything alse, so why not the scenery too :) We used magnetic paint on some old modular boards...do you think they will hold or it is better to use metal sheets instead?

[@manuelsoares4343]

Not the creator but metal sheets are better for sure

[@mrjakamic6022]
