I just discovered a very nice storage case that does excellent duty for all my Lego Technics parts. It's the Popular Mechanics Lid-Storage Organizer (PM58261). It's about the size of a thick laptop computer, approx. 15" X 12" X 3.5", has an (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.storage)

I was thinking, maybe you could have a bunk-bed, sleep on the bottem, or whatever, and the top one wouldn't be a bed, it would be workspace. You have a small seat, and then a board cut in half in front of you. The front half would have hinges (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.storage)
