I finally had a reply from Avid that helped me sort out the issues I was having. A new dongle and a bit of activation, that even I could do, and Protools was working perfectly.
That was a good start of the day.
I spent a bit of time making a cutting jig for my little boxes project. The saw I had was not really designed for precision, although I did take time to set it up as best that I could, I was never sure that mitres were coming out square, so I made a fixture to ensure they would.
I had pieces ready to cut, a quick zip through the saw and they were perfect. I had it glued up with my new belt clamp, thank you China.
I had sanded the top of our latest Goodwill purchase yesterday, so today was staining day.
Now that the pool has been packed away I decided to have a burn up. I had boxes of wood scraps that were in the way, and it was great to get rid of it, by the end of the day I had cleared three large buckets with another two for tomorrow. I am looking forward to be able to walk around without things falling on the floor. One day I hope to do the same to my bench.
The couple who bought the curvy drawer dresser came to collect it, it did take four of us to lift it into their truck. It had taken a while to renovate it but I think it was worth the effort.
