That's about it. Built my new Unraid NAS around the time of the start of the first lockdown, but can't remember exactly...
....why I didn't go for a Synology or QNAS unit to save me having to administrate another platform when I'm not being paid to do so?
(My old Syno DS 214+ is still merrily trucking along, even though it's knocking on seven years old)
I still haven't purchased anything

Nicko McBrain used Sonor kit. There endeth my drum knowledge
But in answer to your question - they used it to make Bonnet hinges and chassis of the w124...
FTFY
Dave!
Just an update on this, the drum nerds are now trying to tell me 911's were made of it - surely way too heavy?

Maybe certain pieces like a bulkhead pressing or structural sections that need to be particularly strong ?
Dave!

Not sure at the moment, my architect pal will get involved, well he's already involved but i don't have the keys yet, there a few options, one of which being conversion into 2 self contained houses, maybe even 3, its in the region of 375m2 and currently has 9 bathrooms/en-suites
Will stay in it short/medium term but might flip the whole lot, will wait and see.
This is the last place I did- now sold...

Last place looks beautiful, but it only went up £75k in 9 years and looks like it's had a fortune spent on it?!

It did..
That was sold as a result of me and my wife separating, the Aberdeen mkt seriously impacted by the oil downturn, so financially not a success.
