Summary

My grandmother was having trouble picking up her sewing needles from the floor, so I designed this lightweight needle picker-upper. It is a 3ft x 1/4" dia oak dowel with a printed ergonomic handle on one end and a printed case around a 3/4"dia x 1/8" thick x 5mm dia hole neodynium magnet on the other end.
