Making a Magnetic Bottle Opener

[Ster1154]

This is a nice, easy project to tackle on the weekend.  I've never filmed myself woodworking so I wanted to do something fairly simple to see if I liked the process enough to tackle larger projects.

Any questions, as always, feel free to ask!

Nicely done!

I'm sure that your friends and family will be asking you to make one for them. Those would make a great Christmas gifts.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video and for sharing it.

New to this stuff, so please forgive me if these are dumb questions.
What did you mix together to form the adhesive for the magnets?
Are those the rare earth magnets available from Rockler?

Also, looks great

It is a 2 part epoxy called JB Weld. You can find this stuff at Lowes/HD and maybe even walmart in the adhesive sections

The magnets are rare earth neodymium magnets that you can find online:

Also, yes, the adhesive is JB Weld.  Superglue would also work but AVOID hot glue as it'll insulate the strength of the magnet and effectively make it a weaker pull.
