bosuch Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just wanted to post a pic of the Lego storage I built. Each unit is 4' wide x 2' tall. I didn't get the stain exactly the same on each one, and the drawers aren't completely uniform - you have to make sure you put it back in the same one it came from - but it works. Of course, they were both immediately full, so I guess I need to go vertical with another pair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 That's pretty slick. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofcorey Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 All my loose bricks, etc. are in clear plastic storage units right now... I think I would have an anxiety attack if I couldn't see all of the options when I was looking for a certain brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosuch Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ultimately there will be some sort of labels on the front, just haven't quite worked out our sorting methodology, or found a good label holder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have the Darth Vader Potato head. Did you get those at Disney World or a somewhere else? They were frickin expensive at Disney World. Like $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like $25 Honestly I've lost track of where we've gotten everything... I know Darth and R2 came in a boxed set from TRU, and I think the only ones we got from Disney World were the Disney-specific ones from the "all you can eat" Mr. Potatohead bar... That's only about 1/3 of the collection too, we've still have ones like the Kiss figures, Tony Starch (Iron Man), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segreto Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Very nice. I am trying to get the school that I work at to give me the old card file cabinet from the library. It is oak and has some tight dovetail joints for the drawers. I am sure they will give it to me, as the library no longer uses card files, but I am not sure how to get it home without a moving truck. I will be using it for Lego bricks and other maker stuff in my office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be using it for Lego bricks and other maker stuff in my office. Yeah, I was thinking of a card catalog when I built these. The one problem with most card catalogs that I've seen (other than the fact that they cost a fortune used...) is that on most of them the sides of the drawers are only about half as high as the front of the drawer. Since they're for cards, they're not concerned with stuff falling out the sides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
