Very nice it looks like you had alot of fun!

I too tried on sunday but did not have alot of luck finding
any diagmagnetic material. I tried melting some non lead fishing 
lures, but I think they were made of mostly tin.

What happened was the neodymium magnet would jump from top 
to bottom, very slowly but I could not stabilze it.
So I guess I am going to have to scrounge for some carbon rod.

Would like to hear more about finding a good source of 
diagmagnetic material.
Thanks 
Francis
