Ale Smith's Old Numbskull. I opened this tonight celebrating my youngest kid's 2nd birthday. Fantastic! Even better, my wife doesn't like it so more for me.

Magnets can stop the motor, I'd try separating them. But if it works in one container and not in the other, it doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand why the stir bar being further away would...

I meant that they have to be farther away from the fan. Before I put a spacer between the fan and the magnets I had similar issues that you seem to have.

Is your fan motor separated from the magnets? I found that I couldn't just glue the magnets directly to the fan, I had to put a spacer between them. I think the magnets interfered with the magnetic...

I've found that more magnets is always better -- you want a strong connection. But my 2" stir bar in a 2L starter is too hard for the fan to turn. A 1" stir bar in the same starter works fine.

My stir plate uses lucite too and looks very similar. I love it.

How'd you cut that big a hole in the center? Hole saw? I worry that I'd crack the lucite with a big hole saw. It seems like a good...
