I also use pretty much the same method you do, except that I often keep
smaller quantities of drastically unlike pieces together so that they'll be
easier to find. For instance, I keep 2x2 round plates in with my 1x10 plates,
as both are easy to locate in one drawer, no matter how full. But i mix all my
1x4's in one bucket.

I use a fixed-compartmented transparent jelly-bean box for all my various
1x1's except bricks. And since I don't have much technic, I use vitamin
containers for pegs, bushings, et.al.
I have two shoeboxes of many assembled minifigs, but as accessories come
off/on them, I use parts drawers. Right now, one box is pretty much dedicated
to castle and adventurer figs. The other is town and space.

Yep. Boat pieces, BURPS, huge wheels, etc.
Mine collection is about 13,000 now, and is 50/30/20 town/space/castle. And
furniture to build on/store in is still years away for me.

| As some other guys, I think the most appropriate way of sorting/storing the pieces (from the building point of view) is using a drawer system. Mine is from "port-bag" (an imported product so it must be available some other places, too). They are (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.storage)
