What to do with an...

...industrial-strength magnet with a pull force of over 180lbs?
There must be a wise answer for the question as well, but I made a bottle cap catcher out of mine. :D

Here's my latest: A Nintendo-ish bottle opener contraption on the fridge door. Works like a charm. :) For one reason or the other, this seems to keep a lot of guests entertained for a while, every now and then.
The actual opener is a fridge door magnet in black matte finish by Suck UK. Great stuff. I've slapped a Piranha Plant there because it looks good and since I'm a mouth-kind a guy... 's a good inside joke.
"Have a beer and byte me" ;)
The bottle cap catcher below is a 2" x 1" disc of n48 neodymium. I've encased it in a roughly 4mm thick compressed cardboard casing overall and black constrction tape. Works great. :) The 180 lbs pull force is from contact, so the force of the encased magnet is probably a fraction of this, but it still works great. It will still probably take a few hundred caps before it needs to be cleared.
Took some doing but the outcome is pretty dandy. :)
