|
| | | 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 (...)

Anything with square corners is hard to get parts out of. Which is why I am currently enamored of (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.storage)
