Thread: What is the best thing you have done in under 20 minutes lately?

Honestly, no the time doesn't matter at all. I was just stoked with my project - it took almost no thinking time, everything I did just worked, and I now have a really useful item as a result. The fact that it only took me 20 minutes was just a bonus. So, what have you got to show in like fashion?

I have a five-month-old baby. I go out to the garage just to sit on a stool and do nothing sometimes.

I think therein lies the answer to the paucity of replies, SPF. We are only allowed one such experience in our lives, and many of us are either still waiting for it, or were engaged in some other trivial activity when it was scheduled to happen.....

I broomed and cleaned the shed with compressed air...

I pulled the suitcase out recently as we were off to Bali and the handle wouldn't retract. I found that the plastic depressor in the handle had snapped so I quickly screwed the broken pieces to a bit of Jarrah, band sawed around it, routed around it and gave it a touch up on the linisher. About 20 mins I reckon.

Yowie, that's awesome.
