Claim Text:
1. A method for conjoining a plurality of cutting boards for culinary purposes at non-working surface sides, comprising: a. providing a first cutting board having a non-metallic and having at least one non-working surface side in which one or more magnetic assemblies, characterized by a magnet fastened to ferromagnetic material that redirects said magnet's flux to yield a more concentrated magnetic field and thereby more holding force compared to said magnet alone, are disposed and oriented with their exposed magnet faces facing perpendicular to and away from the sides in which they are disposed, b. providing at least one additional cutting board having a non-metallic material and having at least one substantially similarly dimensioned non-working surface side in which one or more magnetically attractive members selected from a group consisting of an iron object, a steel object, or an oppositely magnetized magnetic assembly, are disposed, whereby a human can create a single larger working surface having an area equal to the sum of the individual working surface areas of said plurality of cutting boards through the retentive conjoining of said plurality of cutting boards using the action of said magnetic assemblies that provide sufficiently strong holding force, comparable to that of larger magnets alone, to maintain retentive connection of said cutting boards under typical food preparation use and steel utensils operated in the proximity above the conjoined edges of said plurality of cutting boards shall be substantially uninfluenced by the magnetic fields produced from said magnetic assemblies due to the quality of magnetic assemblies to concentrate magnetic fields on their surfaces, compared to said larger magnets alone that risk dangerous interaction with said steel utensils due to their more dispersed magnetic fields, wherein said each magnetically attractive means comprising magnets having both north and south poles being combined together forming said each structure and being detachable and attachable with a second said magnetically attractive means comprising a second structure having an inverse polarity being oriented in a direction in which each said magnetic structure thereby forms a holding force.
