Excellent stuff, Steve (and Tommy). Now my mind is whirling with
possibilities. :) Could a little more information about what different
kinds of things would be possible be given? As well, of course, as what
kind of time/effort/money are involved in making a new setup.
For example, would it be possible/feasable to turn these:

into these:
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3001
...and other similar trimmings. I've got a few hundred of the former that
would be much more useful as the latter, as well as similar sorts of thoughts.
Clean, consistent brick modification opens a lot of possibilities; I'm just
wondering how many of them are feasable. :)
thanks,
James
