Thanks for your interest. I use this method regulalry now - very effective. I have some other ideas that I need to experiment with also...if I didn't have a day job I'd get more done in the studio....but probably couldn't afford the studio...oh well.

Good idea Rudy. A friend of mine uses a vacuum pump and a suction cup to hold pots in much the same way. Your method requires less equipment and seems to work well. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea! You should market it before someone else does. I will try a home-made version, but would much prefer just to be able to buy one. Thank you so much for sharing a great idea. Claire

Excellent idea! Good thing giving the warning at the end ... those super magnets can be very dangerous -- even shatter when they slam together. I'll be using this idea for sure (with caution) -- thanks!

Rudy.. This is brilliant. A great option for potter dipping large pots.
