Beautiful job!  Did you use the magnets to attract or repel?

If they attract, then the force decreases as you close the contacts.  If 
they repel (if you do this you need two magnets for each side, of 
course), then the force increases -- like a spring.

I personally prefer the attractive mode because it gives a 'clicky' feel 
which I like.

What did you use for pivots?
