Magnetic stand for weapons

Hey Luc,

Neat idea, and a great way to magnetize a blade. Didn't we have a thread on that not very long ago?

Here's the Wikipedia article on neodymium magnets on neodymium magnets (just found googling, not saying it's correct).

Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to temperatures greater than 80 degrees Celsius, rather than over time. They are also fairly fragile. While they are wonderful fun to play with, but they can be a nuisance and/or a health hazard. For instance, you definitely DO NOT want to get your hand caught between two magnets that can each hold 100 kg, as they will come together with 200 kg worth of force and crush your hand between them. Nor do you want it to mess up your pacemaker, if you have one. Or your credit cards or hard drives.

Otherwise, have fun! if you've got a decent stand, I think a neodymium magnet would be a great way to hold a sword.
