My project this month (Warning bad drawing here)
Sir Brian:
At the risk of seeming too obtuse, the helm you intend to use the magnets on isn't stainless steel right? ???
Sir William:
That is an excellent question...and a valid one at that. No matter how strong the magnet, if the helm is stainless you won't get any sticking going on.

A second magnet glued inside the helmet *might* take care of that; seems like the magnetic force that strong could work through steel, but I'm sure at a cost to it's potency. Great point, Sir Brian.

That could work, but the adhesive holding the inner magnet would become the weakest point but worth trying. :)

My helm is carbon steel with a brass cross
