Even when things seem quiet here, Larkin is working hard behind the scenes! They use tiny bits of solder in almost all their work, and this morning they ran out of pre-made bits.
Solder comes in wires or sheets, and Larkin likes the sheets because the tiny pieces turn out square and don't run away across their work surface. First, they cut the sheet into ribbons-- it curls while it cuts!
Then the curls get straightened out and Larkin cuts the ribbons in the opposite direction to get the tiny little chips they need.
