Magnetic base, what a great idea.

Now I know how to make mine based on an earlier posters home build
instructions http://www.nucleus.com/~harlan/punch.html and instead of a
steel base, I'll use an old speaker magnet!


Moving it around would be the problem then, not keeping it still. A
couple of small neodym magnets should do it. I'm sure some clever soul will
figure out a good way to pivot or raise them out the way until you want it
clamp to the surface. How about a 3W Luxeon light and electromagnet base?
Now we're talking "project".


Anyone else is allowed to copy my idea for home use..... for commercial
use
a few beers would go down well!


I say have a few more beers, and think the idear through to completion.
