Accomplished day

2 orders of claws cast
Replacement set of paw-pads cast
Note from buyer saying paw-pads lost in post have arrived (so replacement set now spare for sale)
Dell drive rails arrive and fit Precision 530 chassis
Replacement capacitors arrive and got them soldered onto the HP1502 monitor power-board (now running fine after 1 hour)
Moved workshop power strip and fitted stainless-covered shelf for oils etc
Identified the playback problem on indoor PC as a driver issue (Version 270.61 on an 8600GT under XP. 266.58 would not install. 260.99 seems to be running fine)
New HDD arrives tomorrow anyway. Whoops, looks like it wasn’t needed afterall, but it will help out. Machine could use a clean install by now and it’ll free up a 160Gb IDE drive for one of the other machines.
Foam sheets laid out, test sample cut, and glues VERY well with UHU. Next, paint & foot mechanism.

Tomorrow posting several orders, receiving the HDD, paying NI bill, costume planning and such..
