A wound watch will run accurately from 18 to 36 hours - depending on the mechanism. Larger watches have larger mechanisms. Smaller watches have smaller, more delicate mechanisms. Mechanical watches should be wound at least weekly, even if they are in storage. It might become routine if you wind the watch when dressing in the morning or before bed. You don't need to purchase specialty oils or cleaners to care for your watch. Clean your watch with a toothbrush and warm water. Dip the toothbrush in the warm water and wipe off the bristles to remove excess water. Scrub the exterior and inside the stem with the toothbrush. Don't use too much force when cleaning inside the stem and crown. Don't remove the screws and attempt to clean the gears, unless you know how to. Consult a watch specialist about cleaning the inside of your wristwatch. Watches are delicate instruments and you should be cautious when putting one away in storage. The best way to protect your watch is by wrapping it in a protective coating. This could be bubble wrap or another packaging protective fabric. You should store the watch in an environment that is cool, clean, and dust free. Keep the watch out of direct sunlight. You should attempt to wind it every week while in storage.

Summary: Wind the watch daily. Clean your watch. Store your watch properly.

Use newspaper to cover the table or whatever surface you're planning to make the paper on. The process can get messy, especially with children. This will make cleaning up easier. Once the surface is covered, place a paper towel on top of the newspaper. The paper towel will be the base layer of the papyrus. Use cup (120 mL) of glue. Any type of liquid white glue will work. Then, pour cup (120 mL) of water in the bowl. Mix the contents with a spoon until a runny consistency is created. Pour 1 cup (240 mL) each glue and water if you plan on making 2 sheets of paper. You will need to use 2 brown paper lunch bags. Tear the bags into 12in (1.3cm) wide strips, but the strips should be long. Tear the strips as long as you want the paper to be. You can use your hands to tear the strips, or cut them with scissors. You should use 4 brown paper bags if you plan to make 2 sheets of paper. Tearing the strips is better than cutting them because the ripped edges will fuse together better and give you a smoother surface. Dip each strip individually. Try to keep the strips as flat as possible when dipping them. Make sure the strips are fully soaked with the mixture. Run the strips between your index and middle fingers to remove any excess glue. Like with papier mache, you want the strips to be saturated, but not dripping. After you dip each strip in the mixture, lay them next to each other on top of the paper towel. You should lay them out vertically. The strips should be slightly overlapping. Make sure that the top and bottom edges are aligned. You don't want them to be off-set or crooked. Once the first half off the strips have been laid out vertically, begin laying out the second half of the strips. Lay the strips out horizontally and on top of the vertical ones. For a more authentic look, you can weave the horizontal strips over and under the vertical ones, just like making a basket or woven rug. Press the paper with your hands once all of the strips have been laid out. Smooth out any excess air or glue bubbles. Continue doing this until the paper is smooth and flat. Start in the middle of the paper and work your way outward towards the edges. Move your hands apart horizontally first, then vertically. Keep the paper on top of the paper towel and newspaper while it dries. It should take about 8 hours to dry. Once it has dried, carefully peel the paper off of the newspaper. The paper towel will likely be stuck to the back of your papyrus, which is fine; it is in the back. If you are pressed for time, you can speed the process up with a hairdryer.

Summary: Cover the table surface with newspaper and paper towels. Mix glue and water into a bowl. Tear paper bags into strips. Dip the strips into the glue and water mixture. Lay the strips out vertically. Lay the second half of the strips out. Smooth out the paper. Allow the paper to dry.

Get a firm chair to sit in that allows your hips to be slightly higher than your knees. Sit with your back straight and tall; imagine that a string is attached your head and it's pulling your head up. Engage your tummy muscles to straighten your spine in your lower back. As you play, use your eyes to look at the strings. Try not to drop your neck to avoid injuring your neck in the long term. Spread your knees to make enough room for your cello. Bring the cello in and allow it to balance on its end piece while resting its sides between your knees. Face the cello out so its strings are away from you. You shouldn't grip the cello tightly with your knees; simply let it balance there. The Cello should lay evenly on both legs Allow the cello to lean back against you. Position it so that the top of its body reaches your chest and can rest there. You may have to adjust the endpin, or piece at the bottom that touches the floor, so your cello is the right height for you. Simply loosen the screws and slide the endpin in or out depending on if your need the cello to be taller or shorter, then tighten the screws again before standing the cello back up. Lean your cello back and position its neck in line with the left of your head. Hold the neck with your left hand and rest your right hand on your right leg. Right-handed and left-handed people hold the cello the same way. Using your left hand, angle your cello so its strings are facing slightly toward your right. This will make it easier to reach all the strings without slouching as you play. Check to see if any parts of your body feel tense or uncomfortable. If they do, you should make adjustments to your posture, the height of your chair, or the height of your cello until you are comfortable holding it.

Summary: Sit tall in a firm chair. Balance the cello between your knees. Rest the cello body against your chest. Angle the cello so the neck is to the left of your head. Face the cello slightly toward your right so you can easily reach the strings.
