Hello,
I'm working on a cribbage board, and plan to put a a little compartment in the bottom to hold the pegs. I was planning on using rare earth magnets to hold the 1/4" (or so) thick door in place. I bought some online based on size alone (I beleive they were 1/4" dia, and 1/8" thick maybe), and man those suckers are strong. I'm now worried that for my purpose, two pairs of them might be too much to pry apart easily to access the compartment. Obviously I can glue some magnets to a couple peices of wood and see, but, I thought maybe someone here might have a suggestion re/ pull strength.
Also, would the pull strength (if that's what it's even called) be 1/2 as strong if it was a magnet and a piece of metal, rather than two magnets? If so, maybe I could use a washer or something on one side.
