| Seeing as how these guys are a BricksWest(tm) sponsor I'm inclined to give them a try. I sure do hate sorting, and anything that would help a little is worth a look. Their web page (URL) that they have thousands of satisfied customers in AU and NZ. (...)

| I took a look at the web site too after seeing them listed as a sponsor. The concept makes sense (I always know to look at the bottom of a tub for the smaller pieces) but I would think that the type of bricks you can put in the sorter would be (...)

I put a piece of cardboard in the base to undo the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Lucky you. I've had mine since I was a kid (not that (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| Got some of these years ago at the local markets. But they don't sort the way I do (by color and shape/function), only roughly by size, Ian (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) Thanks. I'm not expecting them to sort EVERYTHING for me but if they can cut a pass off sorting, they'll be a win. I have a LOT of unsorted elements, believe me, so even doing a rough separate might help. Then again, maybe not. We'll see. (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

As you can probably see from the WWW page, the boxes are basically designed to do a coarse sort by part size by a sieving (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) Me too, I feel the same way you do, except for bulk bricks. Since I have over 70 3033s worth of bulk, most of which is unsorted, (but still in the individual bags) I can see where a first pass sort using these might save me a fair bit of time, (...)
