Magnet carrying insert and method of incorporating same

The process of constructing a board intended for sport purposes, wherein a plurality of anchors are embedded in the completed board and accessible from the upper surface of the board, comprising the steps of

• a) providing an elongated relatively thin core member having a top and bottom and having a length and width generally corresponding to the desired dimensions of the finished board,
• b) forming a plurality of holes through said board, said holes being counterbored from the bottom,
• c) placing in the holes anchor inserts comprising a cylindrical body with an open end and an integral plate fitted into the counterbores, said bodies including internally threaded cavities within the open ends,
• d) placing caps over said open ends of said inserts,
• e) providing permanent magnets associated with each insert to create a magnetic force field in the vicinity of the open ends of said inserts,
• f) attaching laminates to the top and bottom of the core to cover the entire surfaces thereof and provide a finished board within which the inserts are concealed,
• g) applying particulate ferrous material to the top surface of the board, whereby the magnetic force fields attract the particulate material into concentrations overlying the location of the inserts,
• h) then drilling through the top laminate and underlying cap to open the cavities in the board for access from the top of the finished board.
