Office Desktop Crane

If your ever bored at the office just put this together and you can lift your boredom away. 

You will need:

7 pencils
a few rubber bands
large binder clip
tape
string
magnet and/or paper clip

tie 3 pencils together with rubber bands

use binder clip as base and clip it to side the side of a desk or shelf. you can add a rubber band for added traction. then insert tower into binder clip and attach at bottom with rubber band.

tie 2 pencils together with rubber bands. make 2.

attach first arm to tower with tape. then attach second arm to first arm.

tie rubber band around magnet as shown and tie string to rubber band as shown.( if you want to make a hook just unbend a paperclip to make the hook and tie it to a piece of string).

Next take the magnet/hook and set it over the edge of the second arm.(if string gets caught you may need to place a piece of tape on the ends of the pencils to prevent string from getting caught. Note: if magnet is too heavy you may need to place a counter weight on the end of the first arm.
