Considering it is made from Lawrentium-bronze and Unobtanium, will
that even stick to a magnet?

I think so - they're rare earth magnets with optically flat faces
(checked 'em with my laser interferometer!) so they should stick even if
not magnetic.

Or you can use some of that new Lee Valley Duct Tape to hold your tools to
the belt magnet. This new duct tape is designed and approved by Red Green.
It is strong enough to hold vehicles together.

Now that just sounds tacky - but you got me thinking about some magnetic
latex paint that I saw in a catalog a while back. If I painted the
handle a nice (magnetic) lime green, it would help me find it if I ever
set it down for a (senior) moment...

On Brainiacs (A BBC kid's science show) in the UK they did just that,
first with 50 pieces and then with 100 pieces...the 100 piece car went
to 80 feet before it fell to the ground...

You have got to give them credit for an
amazing effort in building the thing.

The photography is outstanding.

Hi Leon -

Yep - it's real (though we only made one) - and it works too! That's part of
the rules...

Tool belt is still a favorite... look closely - there's about 5k in rare
planes hanging off that belt... it, too, does exactly what we say....

Cheers -

Rob

Oh my Lord. I'm going to have to buy something from you guys just for
going through the effort of that. Must be a great moral booster for the
staff. Well done, Rob.

My favorite is the Dodeca-Gauge.

Hey Rob, when are you guys going to make that travisher I've been
longing for all these years? I already have the Veritas pull shave and
it's quite awesome, but... it's just not that drop-in replacement for a
travisher that I was hoping for. Please oh please! :-)

Then there is the old "Pat & Mike" story sans the Irish accent.

Pat was on his death bed, Mike came to visit and say "goodby" to his
old friend.

As Mike was getting ready to leave, he turned to Pat and asked,
"Before you go, is there anything I can do for you?"

Pat answered, "Not now but after I'm gone, there is a bottle of
"Irish" on the top shelf in me closet."

"Would you mind sprinkling it on me grave site after I'm gone?"

Mike thought for a moment, then asked,

"Would you mind if I ran it thru me kidneys first?"

They will offer nuclear-powered ultra-magnets that will do the job. But read
the fine print if you have any fillings in your teeth.

the only thing that they knew about the US was from watching Dynasty. How's
that for an accurate look at American life?

I looked very carefully at the pictures of that tool belt and was
disappointed that the Low-angle Jack plane from a couple years earlier
wasn't one of the planes hanging from the belt.
