    I know your question was answered, but here is a picture of one in use.

    A side-effect of the magnet-jig (what I call them) is your blade will want to climb up all your others after you are done. It can be annoying.

    I have a demagnifier which works swell. Seems there are some home made ones on Youtube as well.

    The picture two posts above is the best answer. Looks very simple, but makes a real difference when sanding and polishing.
    The magnets alone are not a danger for the full hollows, but you definitely need to curb your enthusiasm a bit when pressing on them. Nothing complicated though.

    That's right. I also picked up cheap Chinese demagnetizer to "clean" the blades after working on them.

    re also a bunch of magnetic tape erasers, from sound tape recording days, around yet. And there at flea markets and junk shops.

    bulk+tape+demagnetizers

    They are a 110VAC strong electromagnet that you wave over the part from very near and keep swinging as you back off to a foot at least. They make the residual field in the blade less and less with every pass over it.
    Have fun!

    Gods show, guys! The one I have is kindof overkill.
    Run the spine on it twice and it won't pick-up a piss ant's paperclip!

    I HAVE seen them go cheap on the bay, however.

    My friends ask what it is and I say it's a 'creditfixer'!

    Set your credit-card right there and turn it on!
    (It humms VERY loudly!)

    FIXED!

    For full hollows, I place a thin piece of neoprene under the blade. It takes care of the flexing of the blade while sanding. Like the mattress on your bed..!
