Yes, I agree box strength varies. (...) One clarification is that I am not using the box to hold trays... so those trays are not there to add torsional rigidity... I am usually using these boxes for things like holding a box full of MOCs to (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) An inexpensive hot glue gun and plenty of glue sticks might solve this problem. For me, I use hot glue liberally to reinforce boxes when they are new--sometimes even un-gluing flaps that were glued at the Lego factory. In fact, I use so much (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I really don't think you're unlucky. Hmm.. I have noticed that the 5561 Model Team box is exceptional compared with others I've used. This includes 8277 Giant Model Set (very bad one), 6097 Night Lord's Castle (pretty bad one), 5988 Pharaoh's (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

Thanks Suzanne! Very helpful. I snipped it but I have one question. I have found the 5561 and other boxes to be not all that strong. I use a razor to slice the display window cardboard off so the tape doesn't rip the cardboard and weaken it, then I (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

This is a tray system I use for LEGO building at home sometimes. Whether or not this method would work for you, of course depends on the type of building you do and how you like to work, etc. But I thought it may be of interest to some people whose (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

Just hanging off of Larry's post semi-randomly.... Some thoughts on storage and building: My storage scheme is that parts which sort into a large volume get stored in Hefty One-Zip freezer weight bags, and then get stored in tubs and drawers of (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) yeah, pretty sure. A lot of water has gone down the drain since then. What makes it so bad is that the drain was slow this morning, Gary plunged it - all the while, he teased me that it was probably a brick down the drain. It wasn't then, it (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Yeah, spread-out space is important. But it doesn't have to be fancy. Even if one has a flip-down table-top, it'd a big help. My Dad built a train table like that - it flipped up against the wall when not in use. I've seen sewing tables like (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.storage)
