Thanks all! Good stuff. I found some other magnetic ones online, but if there is something unique about this one, could I get the link please? Also, it would be best if the entire thing was magnetic. Which by the way means that there doesn't have to be a magnet in the nano, the metal just has to be attracted to magnets. Smart. Will do. Also, for the magnetic tool, it would have to be on the outside, and would have to be disguised. Would it be worth it to cover the cache in red herrings, to have one be the magnetic tool?

Hi everyone, I have never made a gadget cache before, but I am designing one right now, and I would like some feedback on it. I am pretty sure that this is unique, however, you never know. It is going to be a birdhouse, that looks normal, (Or maybe should I add some red herrings on the outside?) and nothing moves, except for the front face of the birdhouse, which obviously moves, but is locked. You have to twist the perch, which unlocks the door. This unlocks the front face, which rotates around the vertical centerline to reveal a 3D maze puzzle on the other side. You can not reach through, as there is Plexiglass blocking you. Inside, there is a nano, sitting at the bottom. Are there any magnetic nanos out there, or will I have to attach magnets to it for this next part to work. You then use the magnet to pull the nano through the maze and to the top, where there is a hole for you to grab it. I am wondering how I should disguise a magnet (on a retractable string) that is used for this. Once you have signed the log, you put the nano back in the bird hole (on the front), and it falls through a chute, and through a hole in the back of the maze, returning it to it's original spot. It will be made out of wood, and I possibly may laser cut some bits. Any tips for this? I have attached some pictures of a model of it that I made in cad. I won't actually use it though, as the real one is going to be made out of wood. Thanks! RCLM
