I’m out if the loop. Can someone explain?

Thank you for your insight! I am getting closer!

I just wanted to recreate the device my dad made with me as a kid

I appreciate the follow up

Thank you.

How do you mean?

I know this is old but tyvm

I appreciate it, I didn’t realize it was so temporary

Apologies for not being clearer. What I mean to describe is a magnetizer - something that you might put a metal tool through to make it magnetic

That’s correct!

Sorry, that’s a whole other level;)

Feisty

I hope someone will chime in who’s more knowledgeable but, yeah, it looks like an earthworm to me. Just…longer? Not a sewage worm, by chance?

Maybe!

Don’t apologize. It is mine and I struggle. Thanks for elaborating

Can you help me with something? When I read “all but resolved“ I think it’s been everything apart from being resolved? Am I cursed‽

I’m sure it’s different for everyone. To me, I didn’t consider the ‘skill’ of this piece’s creator until you said something. I tapped in because it made me feel something and I was curious what others thought of it. Art is subjective; it’s okay not to like everything

Oh no

Thanks- I got the thing running through a breadboard power adapter of all things, to confirm the pump was still living, so I will try what you linked! I am beginning to wonder if I wired my last adapters’ poles. So, this might have been user error on my part, doh!

Hopping in here to thank y’all for your insight. It’s been an educational morning!
