Re: Finding small objects
That would be interesting, if not too difficult to find the parts to build. I know some projects call for things that are no longer available. Bruce

Re: Finding small objects
Well NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, I have a book from the now-defunct Lindsay Press that describes an electromagnet that will pick up non-ferrous (non-ferromagnetic) metals. Unfortunately, I've never got

Re: Finding small objects
Yeah, but I have problems sourcing magnets that will pick up aluminum or brass. Problem in my shop is I put in an epoxy floor, with the large dark flakes in it. Great camouflage for anything small. If

Re: Finding small objects
Another set of eye works generally, even when the item is large and was deliberately set down *somewhere* in the shop! I showed up at the shop of a friend just as he was searching high and low for

Re: Finding small objects
Bruce - Those are good tips. I've used that flashlight trick before; sometimes it even works from a standing position if you use a flashlight with a concentrated beam - it acts like a spotlight
