A bit of one. Culmination of one job leading to another and taking a week (ten minute jobs of course).

Naturally there are half a dozen bits missing. Under the washing machine no doubt.

I use an old speaker magnet on a bit of string to gather up bits that have disappeared under the furniture.

I magnetised a long screwdriver from a speaker magnet to retrieve a bolt that had dropped into a recess in the C5 door when I was removing the window mechanism a couple of days ago, worked a treat.

My ex wife tried that trick to recover a grub screw from her sewing lamp clamp. Unfortunately her knots have never been great so when I got home I had to recover both the grub screw from under the sofa and my magnet from the caster on the back of the sofa!! :-D

I use a speaker magnet at work for when I drop spanners down deep holes, my arm doesn't stretch to 3 metres.

Nice photo Bobins. Some of mine which initially hit the reject pile for POTD. Naked eye the clouds looked like Bob Ross had left some distinct brushstrokes on a painting of sky. Camera shots didn't capture it too well.
