I just took apart my latest creation and realized that I didn't want to
take part some sections.  I've often kept certain sub-parts and many
copies of the same assemblies.  When I build something new I can reach
for a solution just by rummaging through this pile.

Does anyone else keep a drawer of subassemblies???

What is your favorite, what problem does it solve, do you have a
picture?

Would there be interest in a repository of these ideas?

As an example, I have several of these (worm to 24T gear combo) in a
drawer that I find useful. Granted this part is not my idea; I learned
of it from the  8239 cyberslam set.

If enough people post links to pictures I'd be happy to host them all on
one site.

What you are talking about has previously been called 'LEGO Design Cliches' by Fred Martin. Fred has written a paper called The Art of LEGO Design which features some of these cliches and is well worth the read. You can find it linked in .pdf form (...)
