Micro Bowls
Several months ago I was working on phone stands which used tiny cigar-box nails as hinges. I ended up just dumping the nails onto the work bench but I thought it would be nice to have some little containers to hold small parts, like maybe bowls? I can do bowls.

It's been a few years since I turned a bowl but I was pretty sure I still remembered the theory. These were a bit tricky due to the small size but I used the same techniques as when I made some small bowls back in 2010. Rather than "reinventing the wheel" and coming up with entirely new sentences I'll just cut 'n paste their description here: [All] were turned the same way; using double-sided tape to hold the blank to a flat plate while the inside and part of the outside was turned, then flipping around and mounting in a jam chuck to complete the bottom and bottom rim.
