    bricks upside down —Fredrik Glöckner
   What is your favourite way to connect bricks upside down? Bricks upside down is commonly useful in buildings eg. for putting arches upside down. Do you simply use tiles and slot in the bricks without any connection? One method I can see is using the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)

         Re: bricks upside down —Tony Hafner
     (...) You can reduce this gap by using half-pegs instead (the ones with a stud on one end instead of another peg). This tends to be a bit loose, though. If you have the space and don't want outward signs, you could use a pair of <part:6232> "Brick 2 (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: bricks upside down —David Weiler-Thiessen
     (...) I have used 1x1 bricks with the recessed side stud to attach groups of bricks at right angles. While I haven't tried 180 degrees - it should be doable - but may be bulky. (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)

Here are some solutions that can be used in a 1 stud wide space (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)

        Re: bricks upside down —Steve Runnels
     (...) Here's a technique I thought up awhile back in response to a similiar question. (URL) kind of limiting since you need to use a 2xN brick to make it work, but it's completely seamless and quite strong. Also, I've somewhat invented a new piece! (...)

        Re: bricks upside down —William R. Ward
   (...) One way which can be quite handy, if it's not too bulky for your needs, is to use the "headlight bricks". If you connect the bottom of one to the side stud of the other, such that the side stud of the sideways brick is facing down, it will be (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)
