Projects.
This first tool I made was from necessity.
I needed something to get out the pins that hold the compound swivel together. I took a 6 inch long, 5/16 bolt, machined off the threads and head, drilled a 1/4 inch hole at one end, and finally epoxied a small magnet in the end.

Also, by wrapping a shop towel around the magnet end, it works well for picking up swarf!
