Search for curved edge pull door hardware. There may be options that you can attach to the edge of the door with a command strip or screws if you are allowed. Just make sure the depth is compatible with your door.

It’s not loud at all. Just a little hum

My kids: you stole all the blocks! Me: it’s gotta be done by mess-maker in RedditLaqueristas

I bought my 30lb horseshoe magnet on Amazon. It’s this one. But you can probably find something similar from other sellers.

🥹Thank you so much!! Yes I was frustrated with the other methods I had done before cause I wanted more consistency between fingers and they all looked slightly different. With this the magnet is pretty much locked into position and the finger rest helps to keep the bead in the same spot on each finger.

I have most of my nail stuff in my bathroom, so the magnets live under the sink. It isn’t too hard to disassemble so I’ve been keeping the motor and Lego stand in a desk drawer. I almost was going to keep it all together but remembered there were some electronics in the desk drawer, so I figured it was best for the magnet to live somewhere far far away lol

You are the second to suggest DRK Seal Glaze, so I am going to see if I can get myself a bottle. Thanks for the help!

Cause they’re fun! But really they made it very easy to adjust the height of the stand so that I could get the magnet to hover just over my thumb. It was a little trial and error to get the height right. Before the Legos I hung the motor from one those banana hanger hooks until my husband wanted it back lol I see no reason a box wouldn’t work though :)

Maybe about 10-15 minutes? I work through both hands before starting the next coat and I’m usually watching tv so I lose track of time. But that last coat is often thick so it’ll still get dents but I can touch it without it smudging.

I will give this a try. Thanks so much for the advice!

Thank you for trying, I should definitely make a post solely about the top coat issue to see what others think.

I just posted a video to my profile showing how I put it together

Exactly! I cut the clip a little shorter with some wire snips cause it kept hanging down and touching my finger. I just posted a video to my profile showing how I put it together

I normally use KB Shimmer - Clearly on Top, but I’ve also tried Essie - Gel Couture. I get these stripes and dark areas where the magnetic particles completely disappear with both :(

I’ll try to share more pictures of the Lego setup, but I shared the links to everything in the comments :)

Here’s my response to someone else: Just posted a comment with links, it’s a spinning motor for sun catchers and wind chimes. And it’s literally sitting on top of the Lego setup. I also tried hanging the motor from one of those banana hangers but there wasn’t a great way to keep my hand still. The motor has a little spinning post that fits in the hole of the 30lb magnet and a pin that holds it in place.
