epoxied in some little magnets for the lit to stay shut. carefully check polarity to make sure i had it correct. come back today to check...and i had it backwards. sigh. yank 2 magnets out, mix more epoxy, grab 2 fresh new magnets (the ones i pulled out will be cleaned up and used another day, good thing i got a 12 pack), and epoxy them in correctly.

let dry overnight, more progress tomorrow.

sigh....

You might be onto something here. You could use magnets to make the object being displayed float in mid-air.
