These positioning magnets come in handy for drying off a wet T-shirt. It was a hot humid day outside today but inside the tin shed it is cool and dry, thanks to an abundance of insulation some fans and a dehumidifier.

Sometimes a wet T-shirt isn't a bad thing! :D Evidentiary pics omitted but google it if you need clarification.

I have a couple of mag switch 600 amp ground magnets that double as Wreath hangers on steel poles by my driveway for Christmas.

At work, when we finished our new lab, I wanted an American flag in the room.
Mass Properties Lab for Moment of inertia, Center of Gravity, etc.
The one we bought was meant to fly from a flag pole and had reinforced grommet holes down the side. To hang it from the purlins I would have to make a hole in the flag. I could not bear to do that so I used a rare earth magnet to sandwich the "strips" corner to a small steel plate which had a hole for the appropriate cordage.

I used one of those positioning magnets yesterday to hook a funnel to and keep in in position.

I screwed up a sheet metal bend on a tray I was making today. The edge was about 1/16” high. Grinding it down is easy. Keeping a straight edge..... not so much.

I used a piece of scrap for a sacrificial straight edge held in position with mag squares.

I just got neodymium magnets to allow me to mount my camera on the pallet forks, tree puller and the FEL for lining up the SSQA. Each requires a different location for best viewing.

Good for you for respecting the flag, there seems to be too little of that these days.

I have three Large Magnets Holding the Revolving Light and Cage on the Roof of my Loader. More than a few times a branch has moved the thing around. I have done that on other light bars too, to prevent major damage.

I LIKE that little dump trailer in the background

Horst 12 Ton Tandem axle with hyd brakes and used Super Single Tires
Richie Brothers dump box from the "Junk row"
Talented friends with resources.

Kind of a weird configuration. People ask me if I carry my Gold around in that? But loaded it's about all my JD6200 can handle. Nice, because you can dive it right up on a stone fence row and dump in the middle.

I LOVE Super Singles. The best configuration we ran on the farm especially for our soil type. Totally underrated!

I googled it. He's right. : )

I'll never get that hour and a half back.

You would have saved 89.9 minutes if THIS image had popped up first.
