Magnetic Bat Box

Metal worker, James Devlin, asked me to create a better display box for the bat skeleton he had.  The original display was MDF backer with a walnut veneer and clear plastics case.  I removed that clear plastic and created a solid walnut box around the bat mount.  I added clear acrylic as the glass.  One side of the box was to be left removable to allow access to the bat.  Using 4 earth magnets, the challenge was easily solved.  Those little magnets have an incredibly powerful fit.  The application of magnets is something I am going to start exploring and using more of in future builds.
