    Amazing. Just amazing.
  5. Like most of the people here I’m having serious problems/doubts in Sorting Lego. I've been reading this post for some days and there are really incredible ideas, amazing Lego rooms and stunning Lego collections. For someone who have tree children, sort Lego does not make much sense mostly for my young builders. But when its necessary to find "that peculiar part" they realize how important is that task. Mostly because patience in small heads doesn't last more than one minute. My collection its far away from some I’ve saw here but is around 32,000 bricks. I believe the best way to keep Lego stored is to keep it assembled and shown, but at the other way the more you build the more you buy. But when its necessary to find "that peculiar part" they realize how important is that task. Mostly because patience in small heads doesn't last more than one minute. Speaking by myself, and since i work with AutoCad everyday i don’t work with any Lego Designer Program. I just start building some project saved in my mind (missing a lot of times the beautiful undo command) picking up bricks in a kind of aleatory way so bricks I’ll need are not previously separated. So for me it’s very important the storage and I believe that if I get an efficient storage method I will spend more time building and less time sorting and preparing my building place. MY STORAGE AREA At this moment I have a typical amount of sorting boxes from Leroy Merlin and Ikea, packed in a nice peace of old furniture with a very high WAF, in my Livingroom. MY DISPLAYNG AREA Ikea shelves on the hall so every time I’m walking around I can appreciate our buildings. MY BUILDING AREA Livingroom table. My big problem is that to start building I must to clear the table, take out the boxes put a great part of them in the table what leaves me less space to build… To keep things organized at home (or when we have some family dinner or lunch must to put everything on its place to get the table free. As you all can imagine with so many tasks to do before and after playing sometimes Lego just stay on is boxes and the hobby a kind of prisoner of himself. My intention its to design a compact workbench combined with folded cabinets with drawers, some kind of furniture that once its closed it keeps everything out of view but when you open you can start building in a minute. Book dedicated shelves and also I’ll try to keep the big boxes I have to store big quantity pieces. At this moment im just deciding between cabinets with drawers from Akro-Mills, Allitt and Racco. And here I need some short and sharp advice. When I start this project I will post some WIP pics. Thanks for all the good stuff one afol can find here. Mike (tryed to post some fotos but without luck..)
