# Select another magnet and find its polarity by placing it along the outside edge so that it becomes attracted to the previous magnet
(insert pic)
# Rotate the magnet from the previous step 180 degrees (so that the pole attracted to the previous magnet is facing out to create a pole pair) and place it in the next slot in the base

# Repeat the previous two steps until the tone ring is fully populated
