John,

    Thank you for your thoughts on my latch question. Yes, as soon as I
    sent the email the need for a gap dawned on me. Duh. That would be a
    weird and funky thing to overcome. Still, I'm intrigued how I might
    use that kind of mechanism down the road... 

Ian,

    The magnet idea could be the perfect solution - thank you! I can get
    that "just right" tension I want by the size and placing. Brilliant! 

    Perhaps I should have explained from the start this isn't a jewelry
    project but a tabletop piece - about 8" in diameter - give or take.
    And it has another puzzle where I'd be grateful for advice. There
    will be multiple pieces (the hatch latch boxes I asked about) that
    rest in/on a turntable. But rather than a lazy susan-type turntable
    I'd like something more like a roulette wheel with a center pivot
    that stays stationary and has an ultra smooth, class act of a spin.
    My web and hardware store search thus far brings up only clunky ball
    bearing rings or high tech casino equipment. I know there is a
    simple, elegant solution. I just haven't found my way there yet. Any
    advice appreciated. 

    My profound thanks to all who make Orchid such a rich experience. 

Bobi
