What are you guys doing that involves working with your hands?

Say that you extract teeth for fun 🙂

I would probably take up some sculpting 😛, does the application have to say how long you have been doing it ? 🙂

Take up sewing!

It says activities in which you are "proficient". Guess that depends on everyones definition of proficient, eh.

-Tying fishing flies
-Building model ships and dioramas (not the plastic kit kind, I'm talking scratch built using wood)
-Macrame (I think I spelled that right)
-Wood carving
-Playing violin
-Origami (one of my favorite things to do)
-Preparing fossils for display (this requires many of the same tools that we will be using as dentists)

I'm wondering if I should put playing the piano on my application because I took a class last semester and can play a few songs, but I don't know if that would really mean I'm proficient. Also is it stupid to put down that I can type so many wpm? I would appreciate your opinions.

I used to be proficient at playing the piano when I took lessons years ago, and I still put that in my application. I also put being employed as a manicurist and pipetting small volumes into 96-well microplates at the chemistry lab I work in now. Lame, I know, but whatever.

LOL mccarth I had the same questions as you for 2005 cycle. I actually only had a couple of semesters of piano but I put it on my piano. One of my few talents, I type 93wpm, so I had to put that on there, too.
