Last year, I decided to remove the very obsolete and entirely nonworking (not to
mention unserviceable) electric parts from my ‘60s era electric/acoustic
Accordion. This made it about 20 pounds lighter, but also left two rather large
holes in the grille where the switches had been. The professionals suggested
cutting some pieces of black plastic out of something else and gluing them over
the holes. But I thought, “Why bother with glue when I could use LEGO?” So
here’s the LEGO switch hole grill replacement for the Hohner Vox Atlantic IV N
Deluxe Accordion:
I used the sand blue 1 x 2 vents to match the tuxedo I wore when I played at my
cousin’s wedding. The actual metal of the grille is almost exactly ½ of a plate
thick, so it fits perfectly in the middle of the stack of three, if one is
staggered one stud inwards.

| What uses have you put LEGO to that are for practical reasons? Let me give some examples to illustrate: 1. Eric McCarthy's napkin holder made of LEGO 2. I use 2x4 bricks as leveling shims for furniture in areas where the floor is not entirely flat (...) (19 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.general)
