Turning with magnets inside the wood
The "issue" is going to be remembering where those magnets are so as to
avoid cutting into them.

so bare with me on this ..
I make pepper grinder \ salt shaker sets for wedding gifts etc. I
sometimes
make them the same size and have the salt shaker the exact opposite as the
pepper grinder (salt - convex shape where pepper would be concave) so that
they kind of "fit" together. I was talking to someone about them and they
said that I should try to really make them fit almost like a jig saw
puzzle
when they are side by side. Then the thought went further that it would
be
cool to have them "click" together magnetically. I was thinking that I
could get those round magnets and embed them in the wood when I glue up
the
blocks before I turn them. After they are turned, they could be
magnetically attracted to each other without seeing the magnets involved.
The question - would there be any "issues" with turning a glued up wood
block with magnets on the inside?
Thanks
Darren
