5 Minute Nail Gag

Intro: 5 Minute Nail Gag

A member recently forgot his hat at Halifax Makerspace. I sent him these pictures to let him know.

STEP 1: Cut It and Stick It

1. Use a hacksaw to cut a large nail on a slight angle.
2. Stick a neodymium magnet or two to a wall or doorframe. Our doorframes are metal, but you could just tape the magnet to the wall.
3. Use a bench grinder, sandpaper or file to deburr the cut end.
4. Pin the hat beween the nail and magnet.

It looks realistic, even up close!
