Made this locket out of 2 US nickels, 3 paperclips, one HDD magnet and some hot glue, following the instructions here: INSTRUCTABLES LOCKET

The hinge is by far the most difficult part; took me 4 or 5 extremely frustrating attempts. It still likes to jam frequently.

The process I followed is exactly the same as the instructables guide, except I broke apart small pieces of a HDD magnet and put them in each half with hot glue under the picture so it will stay shut.

It's amazing what you can do with a hammer, sparkplug socket and C clamp.

It's even more amazing how shiny it can get with a grinder polishing wheel attachment.
