    Brick Attachment Method Question —John Spencer Rezkalla
   Does anyone have a good scheme to attach two 2x2 bricks back-to-back (i.e. stud sides facing away from each other). I am looking for a way to have them seamlessly mated together. For instance if I use technic pins, there is a slight gap between the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —Ray Sanders
     (...) Do they have to be 2x2 bricks ? If you are willing to fudge a little on that point, you can take 2x2 round bricks or 2x2 bricks with pin and put them back to back with say a #3 technic axle thru the center axis. IIRC, they both have axle holes (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

      (...) Unfortunately they need to be bricks to provide a smooth planar exterior surface. Currently I am using the scheme you mentioned to hold the structure together - internally, but I am encountering another packaging problem using this method. (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —Steve Runnels
     (...) Well, here's something I just figured out... Take a x2 technic axle and put it in the center hole of 1 brick then put the other brick on... It's seamless and holds pretty tight on newer bricks. Older bricks seem to be giving me a bit of (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
    
         Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —Steve Runnels
     (...) Woot, I figured out an even better way. Check it out: (URL) 2 of the 1x2 panels and stuff em on the same side and it holds pretty tight, works on older bricks as well. :) Although you lose the ability to spin it like with my last idea. Hope (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
    
         Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —John Spencer Rezkalla
      (...) Ding, ding, ding... whoa ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! This method works great. I don't require the ability to spin the bricks. Actually you're a double winner. I'm going to use your technic axle method too. I never thought to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

        Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —Andy Lynch
   Well, actually, there is a 2 x 2 brick with an axlehole in the center of the stud side: Brick 2 x 2 with Pin and Axlehole (URL) put a technic 1 x2 beam on the pin and it becomes 2 x 3, unfortunately. Maybe you'll find it useful anyway. -Andy Lynch (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Brick Attachment Method Question —John Spencer Rezkalla
    (...) That's a good suggestion, but the packaging unfortunately won't allow it. It needs to be 2x2. Thanks. (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)
