  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
Hi Jamie, I noticed you cast some lead bricks? I recently aquired my grandfather's crucible and ladle and want to try to create some 2x4x1 lead bricks... If I understand your post correctly, you have created custon leads molds ? Could you tell me a (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
(...) I had this idea too. 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 (...)

  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
(...) Here's another thought along those lines. What about using one of the new "LEGO Soft" Bricks to create a mold? They have them down at TCS now and they look pretty cool. They are soft and not very heavy on their own but I think they are about (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)
 
  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
(...) Hey -- wot about those "weight" bricks that they sell (or once sold) with the Boats sets? I think they're 2x6x2 or 2x8x2 or something like that and they're pretty heavy, and they're "real LEGO." (...) I could live with that. (...) I think LEGO (...)

  Re: LEGO brick bookends
 
(...) 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)
 
  LEGO brick bookends
 
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)
