"I made my fifth cigar-box guitar this way, in twenty-minute increments.

Knitting is also a great way to use this time. Socks lend themselves particularly well to spare-time knitting, as they are small, portable, light and uncomplicated. I never wear shop-bought socks anymore, only my own hand-knitted woollen ones.
