Finally finished off some Dolly Pots:

I'll let you know marksman, i was planning for friday, but if i change to Saturday I'll be sure to look out for you.

Top work on those dolly pots, big wave.
 
Funnily enough Mrs wanted to goto bunnings. I know. Miracle right. So I scrounged up some bits and made one. Works well.....

Thanks for the inspiration BigWave.

I added a couple washers to help guide it up and down and keep the magnet centre. Probably not necessary but works.

Nice boulders, those rare earth magnets are the go aye?

Sure are mate. Forget about ferrite magnets. Need to be neodymium magnets.

I only had a 25 x 5mm lying around. Still works but a 10mm thick magnet like BigWave used would be the ticket.
 
That washer is a smart addition Boulders. Ingenious :)
I also got the inspiration from one of GreenHornet's recent posts (he posted that link), so happy to pass it forward.
 
I had it lying around. I was using it in a fish tank to hold a rack on the glass. I'm pretty sure back then I got it from jaycar as I was desperate for it at the time. You can get them cheaper online if you are willing to wait for it though.

This is the one I got. Has a hole in the middle to screw mount if needed. From what I remember I got this one because for some reason it felt stronger than the solid one they sold....

Supposedly identical magnet without the mounting hole.
