(...) So it sounds like the key is having a big enough worktable so you can have the likely trays out and available as you do your design run? (...) I agree about drawers, i don't use them and would find them maddening as well. Where I went wrong is (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) That's cool. I know drawers are by far the most common system for AFOLs, and complaints like mine are practically unheard of. But I'm tempted (almost) to attribute their popularity to economy of space and price. Then, their defense to (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I've had a few small parts go down the drain (bummer). I've gotten a lot more careful about washing. I suspect the brick will just wash on through unless your pipes are close to clogged. Frank (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

| | 2 x4 brick down drain

One 2 x4 brick escaped my collander to go down the drain in my bathroom sink. Has anyone else had this experience? My sink has not slowed- yet... Will it just flush on through? Is this going to cause me problems later? I am not looking forward to at (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) I use pull-out drawers (IRIS) and don't have that problem. The drawers are big enough that you can pull one out 1/3 of the way and the one below it 2/3 of the way, and access both. You do sometimes find the drawer you want blocked, but if you (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) In a tilt-bin setup, bins get opened only once (they stay open) no matter how many times parts are taken from them. They can also be removed. In a tray system, as at TLC, the entire drawer is a compartmentalized tray (aprox 24x30x3). It gets (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I don't think the issue of tilt shift causing wear is one worthy of consideration unless it's the only consideration.
