| Hi all, Just because the "how do you store your Lego" keeps coming up in various forums, I took photos of my storage and threw together a quick page. It could be found here: (URL) earth-shattering. I just figured this was an appropriate place to (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.storage)

I've found the link to the European manufacturer that produces these boxes (they had even 2 additional types) As far as I can tell these organisers contain a certain amount of differend fixed size containers.

| Picture if you will, a sheet of tinted Plexiglas with a hole in one area, or perhaps a door that lifts up to reveal a hole. Underneath the hole is a large, maybe 2 foot diameter wheel-like structure, which hangs from the table. It is partitioned (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.storage)

The hard surface is good for sliding pieces off the table, but the tile and front board kind of make the bottom ones get stuck. What could be done is to have a small (...)

| I too really like your table edge- keeping pieces off the floor is important with cats with a chewing fetish. Has anyone thought of putting a 'funnel' or 'pour spout' on their table? I don't have room for such a table right now, but as soon as I (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.storage, lugnet.space)
