Office supply stores sell a type of bookend that is roughly an inverted "T" shape from the side, one end of which slides under the first several books which it supports thereby gaining the weight of the books on top of it (...)

(...) I wonder how hard it would be to build or aquire a "bookend base" -- a stone or metal "L" that would be big enough to mount a LEGO creation on. That way, the base would do the work, and the LEGO bits would be unadulterated. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

(...) I havn't tried it but my guess would be that it would be too light just using bricks. You could try a couple of things I can think of off the top of my head. 1. Use a heavy object (A real brick?) surrounded by LEGO bricks to add weight. 2. Or (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

Has anyone made bookends using LEGO bricks? I wonder how thick/big/heavy they have to be in order to work nicely? In terms of "real" bookends I've only had luck with marble or stone bookends -- even wood tends to be too light. But LEGO brick (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

If anyone needs me for the next few days, you might want to check the local funny farm. My wife may have just checked me in.

Easter Egg Hunt idea: Get a 12-pack or 48-pack of plastic colored Easter Eggs and fill them will LEGO pieces. Hide 'em around the house or in the yard.
