Old computer harddisk - faraway - 02-11-2012 I did save a bunch of old computer harddisk. They are great weights but they have also perfect right angles. This photo is a fake done for demonstration but that is the way I do most corners of my shoe boxes. The heavy harddisk keep the styrene sheets easy in place until the glue has set. That way a harddisk becomes a tool. Re: Old computer harddisk - Ralph - 02-11-2012 That's a clever use of an otherwise useless item! Re: Old computer harddisk - tomustang - 02-11-2012 That's very cool! I usually strip them for the magnet inside Re: Old computer harddisk - steinjr - 02-12-2012 Hah - I knew I some day would be able to tell my wife that the useless old disks I "pack ratted" away would come in handy for something :-) Thanks for the tip! Smile, Stein Re: Old computer harddisk - ngauger - 02-12-2012 Dang!! Now I'll have to dig those things outta the closet! Cool Idea!!!!
