I wont even use black pegs without a slot down the side, I sort them into a
pot. I built a tool to pop them out of the red test car beofre I discard them.

Oh I'm so with you on the old black pegs--they were absolute killers to get
out of beams 'n such!  Never having thrown away *any* piece of LEGO, I have
all those old black pegs in a container somewhere, along with other 'old'
technic pieces (square pistons and stuff...)  Who knows?  Maybe I'll just
give 'em all to someone I dislike ;)

I'm totally ruthless with friction pins - if they're just a little tight
they go in the bin. I also often grab all the seller's pins when I do a
bricklink order, to re-fill my bin (most sellers don't have heaps of pins) 8?)

For myself, if I stop building, especially with Technic, for a few months,
my fingers get sore quickly when I start building again.  Of course, I
haven't made anything as extravagant as Eric, so my digits are probably
thankful for that.  After a while, during the building process, the pauses
for considering, 'Where do I go from here?' is usually enuf rest for the
hands to recoup.

Well, I guess I'm lucky - being a guitar player, I have callouses on my
fingers, so it doesn't affect me all that much! Moral: LEGO builders should
learn to play the guitar!
