I have had the internet for quite sometime now, but it was about four months ago
that I realized that the online Lego community was massive in both size and Lego
techniques. Since I first came on the online Lego scene I have been doing what
every other Lego fan has been doing, surfing the hundreds of thousands of
websites both for enjoyment and inspiration.
I have made two observations: first is the fact that there are way too many
websites to see them all. Secondly, I realized that there are certain websites,
such as Lugnet, Brickshelf, and MOCpages that act as hubs for connecting all of
us Lego fans together.
But I have a thought... I am not truly married to any one Lego building theme
(for example: mecha, moonbase, trains, castle). Thus, I like to learn about as
many building techniques as possible. In my time researching Lego building
techniques I have come across a web page here and there that helps explain, say,
a particular building technique but is not comprehensive. What I mean is that I
am looking for a web page that has multiple building techniques presented. In my
experience what I have normally found is that a particular website only
discusses one building technique. For instance, when looking for a website on
letter techniques normally what I have found is only one technique being
discussed or presented. Whereas we all know there is more than just one
technique to making letters (example: bricks vs. plates, snot, ect).
What I want to do is build a web resource, if it isn't already out there, that
has multiple building techniques for all genres. If the resource is out there
please point me in the direction and ignore all my rambling. Otherwise I want
to create a place where Lego builders and creators can come for old building
techniques, and, the newest/innovative building techniques developed by other
Lego creators, I know you may say that is what brickshelf and all these other
Lego "hubs" are doing, but part of the problem for me is that I search for hours
and hours to find just the right building technique. Plus alot of times a
creator doesn't know they have stumbled upon a new way to build until someone
else either uses it or modifies it. I would like to provide a place where Lego
builders can present new ideas or find an idea relating to building techniques.
I believe this could help facilate creativity and help out some of those who are
not quite creativity inclined as others.
Please if you have any resources that could help or fit the description, or if
you have any ideas, comments, or building techniques you would like to share let
me know...

| (...) I recently had a similar thought - that it would be great if there were an encyclopedia of part uses. Something like the (URL) Brickopedia> in Allan Bedford's (URL) LEGO Builder's Guide>, but with links to real-life uses of each part (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)
