I personally sort by part. I currently have well over 100,000 parts and
wouldn't be able to find parts if I just through all of one color together.
I keep my basic, primary color, bricks in tubs sorted by size. A few sizes are
going to be resorted to break into fewer colors because they are in multiple
tubs anyway. I have my Gray bricks sorted separately by size and the rest of
my bricks are sorted by size together in smaller bins.
About half of the rest of my parts I sort in Acro Mills drawer units (usually
used in a workshop for hardware). These work really well for small parts but
my plates are becomeing a problem and I am looking for alternatives for those.
I have a couple of drawer units with really big drawers in the middle and
smaller ones on the sides. These work great for slopes, I store the regular
slopes in the middle and all the other bits like corners, peeks, gable ends,
etc. on the sides.
The rest of my parts are stored in sectioned bins.
I do have a tub of what I call "Junk" parts. These are parts I just don't need
or want and don't want to take the time to sort and sell on brickbay. These
include trap doors, trikes, revolving door parts, and other jr'ized junk.
Oh I also have an old dresser for storing Baseplates, Castle Wall parts, BURPs,
and Mega Bricks.
