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

Cut It and Stick It

- Use a hacksaw to cut a large nail on a slight angle.
- 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.
- Use a bench grinder, sandpaper or file to deburr the cut end.
- Pin the hat beween the nail and magnet.
It looks realistic, even up close!
