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.
