Maybe he has a forge, Greenie! Even after sweeping, a magnet would catch that much, I bet, if I kicked it a yard or so!

Справедливое замечание Филип Дэвис. Так же много мелкой стружки и от абразивных кругов, которые налипают на магнитные угольники.

I just use my thumb and fore finger to push the crud to one corner then pinch it away from the magnet. Anything missed can be easily removed with my torch, by setting the flame to zero feather hold it near the edge of the magnet and give it a blast of the cutting oxygen. the crud will lose its attraction to a magnet at red and disintegrates as it is blown away the magnet is not hurt since the flame is always being moved in the direction, I am blowing the crud off.
But heck there have been times I probably had nearly that much metal crud in the skin of my hands and arms or under my fingernails

A wire brush works pretty well too.

I use a similar method for collecting metal on my Wen wet wheel grinder. Put the magnet in a baggie and drop it into the water trough the wheel is in. Easy to remove metal from the tank.

:beer:

Yep

Then reach into the baggie. Grab the magnet, pull the magnet out as you turn the baggie inside out over the magnet!

ALSO, I need to add, the video could have been compressed down to 10-15 seconds. We would know just as much as we do after almost 5 minutes minutes. ( only got to about 1 min) Actually we would know more, because we could have used those wasted 4 1/2 minutes to learn something else!!! :smash:
