After yesterday’s excitement, it was down to doing stuff.
I had to start stripping a horrible black buffet that had stickers all over it, I’m not sure why we bothered with it because it is not a quick job.
Next on the list was bonding an edgeband on to the front edge of the shelves I made for the shelf less bookshelf.
On top of that I stripped the finish off a coffee table top. This was quick, and I will refinish that tomorrow.
I recently bought more storage for my Mac Pro tower. I had to buy some small metal carriers in order to mount the hard drives. They arrived yesterday, it was relatively easy to fit, and then install the drive. There was a lot of thought that must have gone into the design of the computer making the whole thing child’s play.
Whilst I was doing that I had the idea to check if two external LaCie units that I had stripped down would work in the Mac.
I had bought them used, and they worked for a while, but then stopped. It was last ditch check, but I installed those, reformatted them, and they worked, so the fault must have been in the circuit board of the LaCie. Now I have more storage than ever.
