: Nice work John and Joe,

: Joe, You wouldn't have any detailed pics of the build you could
: share?

: Also would like to know where you get the release barrier; very
: cool.

: My cedar is getting a little thin. See any problems setting the
: magnets proud of the hatch?

: Thanks, Jim

I posted some pics along the way you can find them by searching "Petrel" on this site.
The release material is just shelf liner from Ace Hardware, I think you can find it other places as well.
And as for the thin strips, I used 1/8" x 3/4" magnets in the rims and 1/16" x 3/4" in the hatches very strong and not as scarry drilling the holes.
