I am interested in your question about magnets in turnings. I wanted to embed a
magnet in a wood knocker and then have another in the base of a turned bowl. I
reasoned that if the magnets repelled one another the knocker would knock
against the sides of the bowl and I would have a kinectic bowl. I have tried it
with little success. Either my bowl is too big or the magnets not strong
enough. So goes another failed attempt at greatness.
