Oh, another sorting tidbit:
Be careful of over sorting. I have bins with 1xN bricks sorted by exact
size and color and bagged. These rarely get used during construction.
Instead, my overflow storage bins are what is usually used. My overflow
bins are:
1x1 bricks (black, white, red, blue, yellow)
1x2 bricks (red, blue, yellow)
1x2 bricks (grey)
1x4 bricks (red, blue, yellow)
1x4 bricks (grey)
1x2 and 1x4 bricks (white, black)
1x6 bricks (black, white, red, blue, yellow)
1x6 bricks (grey)
1x8 bricks (black, white, red, blue, yellow)
1x8 bricks (grey)
1x10 bricks (black, white, red, blue, yellow, grey)
1x12 bricks (black, white, red, blue, yellow, grey)
I have thought about sorting my white and black 1x2 and 1x4 bricks into
2 bins (1x2 and 1x4), but the time is just not worth it considering that
it's actually pretty easy to pick out what you need.
My quantity of 1x3 bricks is small enough that I pull out the correct
colored bags.
I have also recently invested in a bunch of small food storage bins
which get various commonly used parts for building. They stack easily
(open or closed) and are refilled when low. These techniques have
reduced the number of bags of parts I'm shuffling during building. I
also need to work some on what Iris drawers are right behind my work
area to make sure they are all commonly used parts.

| Hi Alex, The other suggestions in this thread may be better for you, but since you asked us to share, I will tell you my methods for sorting... As usual, I will share this in the form of a long babbling story. ;) When I was six (1978) I owned a Fire (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
