    Lightbulb Free Rare Earth Magnet for Jigs/Shop!

    Rare Earth Magnets are very handy items in the workshop - for instance, you can glue them to items you want to keep at various tools such as Push Sticks/Spanners/etc. and then just stick them on the metal cabinet. However, getting hold of them can be a pain and does involve money I hear.

    Well, I have found a FREE source of very strong ones - Old Computer Hard Drives (stop me if you have heard about this). Just pop the old HD open and you will find two, yes two, top quality REM's over and under the Arm that holds the heads.

    So, don't let your work/friends/etc. just chuck out old, dead HD's - get them to chuck them at you for disposable
