Mini walnut basket shell

I invented a method of cutting, carving, and designing a mini basket from a walnut.

I invented the idea of painting mini walnut baskets red, white, and blue. Also, green for St. Patrick's Day, not all of them, but only for those who want them. Note:

• A different color for each basket of 3.

I invented copper washers for the bottom of the walnut shell for a base for the shell to stand right-side up. Washers made from ½″ copper pipe ⅝″ O.D. cut into ⅛″ long. Glued to bottom of walnut shell baskets. Note:

• Then wooden disc inserted inside of copper ring to cover glue.

I invented and designed a handle to handle a walnut shell for cutting into a walnut shell from a pair of pliers.

I invented a wooden holding tray for mini walnut basket shells to hold in place while installing copper washers with glue on bottoms of the walnut shells and to stay in trays until glue is cured 10 to 14 hours. Walnut shells are in trays bottom side up after receiving copper washers and glued to keep washer in place on bottom of shells.

I invented a ½″ wooden disc to be inserted inside of copper ½″ pipe ring on the bottom of the walnut shell to cover up glue ½″×{fraction (1/16)}″ long. Also glued to the bottom of the walnut shell inside of copper pipe ring ½″×{fraction (1/16)}″ long. Also glued to the bottom of the walnut shell inside of copper pipe ring ½″. Note:

• Larger washers take larger size wooden discs. {fraction (9/16)}″ & ⅝″.

I invented the idea of gluing a United States penny (one cent) onto the bottom of the minibasket shell. (If legal)

I invented the idea of a ⅝″ O.D. wooden disc {fraction (3/16)}″ long for the bottom of the mini walnut basket, made from ⅝″ dowel oak material. Note:

• or ½″ dowel materials.

I invented the idea of a hard plastic ½″ plastic pipe rings cut to ⅝″ O.D. {fraction (3/16)}″ long for the bottom of the walnut mini baskets. Also ½″ wooden insert to be used inside ½″×{fraction (3/16)}″ glued inside of ring on bottom. ½″ dowel oak material ½″×⅛″ long to cover glue. Different kinds of washers will be used on bottom of the baskets. The shape of the bottoms of the shells calls for different ring washers.
