Inspired by what I saw on this thread:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-stirplate-cheap-easy-build-86252/
I thought I would whip something together. Almost all the parts were salvaged from various sources (most were either scrap or spare parts from work). I did buy the rheostat from radioshack and the stirbar from mcmaster.com. I had to play around a bit with various configurations of the magnets, and you can see the way it ended up working best. I used a little double sided tape to keep the magnets in place on the washer. The stir bar rattles a little during operation - is this normal???
Here's the pics...
