What does a jeweler do while waiting for a ring to pickle or clean????
Make something !!!
If you dont have a mini to work on, you take the left-overs from lunch and make a gift. The baskets take me about 10-15 minutes to make. The monkey takes about 20-30 minutes. They are made from a peach pit. As a boy, I carved these with a pen knife and it took all weekend. Now, with a flex-shaft and carbide ball burrs, it takes minutes.
