Show us your Working Place/LEGO room

[Berthil]

Looks great, nice to see where these great models are designed and captured.

Here's my room, under the table are also drawers. The desk can rise. All the GBC machines are stored on the attic. At the right a lof of F1 models from Luca (RoscoPC), unfortunately no longer with us. Some day I hope to make a picture in the dark where all the houses are lit.

Great looking setup.

This is my build area.

I have the same drawers. Did you get them from kmart?

I did. I had some a while ago but ended up going a different way. I had been looking for these for a while and they were back in stock the other week.

Here's my place as it is currently. I recently started building more System so that led me to get the organizers and the shelf to the right (some parts are still unsorted below the table), my Technic parts are in the drawers and boxes at the back of the table. Built models are displayed elsewhere in the house.

That is a great setup.

Thanks Paul. It's going to take some time to print all the boxes. But it'll be so much better when it comes to finding and sorting pieces. Opening a single drawer will let me see so many different bins at once.

This is great. I'm doing something similar at the moment with stacked cabinet drawers and will then have compartments for pieces. Also considering getting a 3D printer and if I do, will make bins as you have done. It seems to be a really good way to optimize the space and sorting. Thanks for sharing.

With this topic surfacing again and having recently finished my workspace thought I would show too!

It started as some shelves to replace some manky 50's units in the box room , I thought I was going to display my MOC's here but was far to slow off the mark - all the rubbish will be sorted one day and I'll grab a few shelves back from the chick-lit 

One thing led to another and I built the desk for general office activities, thinking how to support the desk I decided to build some basic storage for my Lego which was languishing in Ziploc bags in crates, not easy to use.

Having already had a fit about the price of the birch ply for the shelves all the trays are from re-sawn shipping pallet - more money for bricks , right?

Much better than the crates but I'm not getting any younger and crawling under the desk got old quickly so this area has now been relegated to bulk overspill storage.

I'd have loved some large format draws like @allanp just showed us but the room size didn't suit that format (wife said NO!) so these are what I came up with:

 

 

I was fortunate to happen across an eBay listing for a pallet of birch ply offcuts (nearly a cubic metre all told) for peanuts money but all quite small pieces which kind of dictated the design.  This meant the depth of the under desk trays and the drawers doesn't match which does bother me a bit but not enough to alter the trays (yet!!)

All the drawers are modular and can be swapped to arrange parts as I wish. one day I might make some double height variants.  All the drawers have configurable dividers.

 

  

The drawers have larger stacking  'bins' on top for bulkier items like PF motors and battery boxes, wheels, tracks etc.

The final part was more general storage (flattened boxes, instructions and sticker sheets) as well as stations for our printer scanner and my new toy the P1s 3d printer (lovin' it)

 

Last bit to do is make some pick bins out of the leftover birch for all the pins instead of the loud colour plastic items lurking under the desk but that can wait for next year and no it is never normally this tidy!

Nice room @Plumber - also nice to see you got it working with posting pictures!

I like the wood - but isn't it hard to have blind / unlabeled drawers? I think one may memorize over time, but may take some time I reckon.. 

[allanp]

@Plumber looks great. And yes the P1S is great.

@aFrInaTi0n Thanks, I'm pleased with it. Thanks too for help with images and a big shout out to brilliant @Yperio_Bricks who's patience went above and beyond, teaching me what is obvious to most over on the Help topics!

There is  very definitely an element of 'form over function' but, as for many others, I have to share space with family and SHMBO was not amused when I showed her the labels at Brick Architect's Site.I thought about retaliating with some pointed remarks about the mess on the ( my display!!) shelves but I'm not that brave(stupid) 

More seriously, I have catalogued every last Lego item on a Brick Store database (another major exercise in IT incompetence , Youtube was my friend) along with drawer and division location. I keep the database open when building and its really easy to lookup where things are, also the drawers pull straight out so can have relevant ones to a particular part of a build sat on desktop.

Editing the locations is a bit of a chore if I want to rearrange any drawers as locations are all text in remarks and comments fields - there is probably a better way/system for doing this but with my limited ability/knowledge this was the best I could come up with.   I have to admit that I was somewhat surprised that there was not a more formal set of fields/system in these trading databases for stock locations as I imagine it must be a whole lot of work when buying and selling stock routinely (I'm not a trader), maybe it's there in the paid for systems but as we already established, I'm tight as a duck's a..e 

[aFrInaTi0n]

Hehe. What works, works - I reckon.

Cool Lego-setup but I immediately noticed the Babylon 5 box! Best TV-show ever!

My pleasure 

Your workspace looks great! A lot of vertical storage but easy accessible. And enough space on the table too

I forgot about this interesting topic ;)

Truthfully, I never expected to reach this stage with my building space. A few months ago, I finally managed to do it – after years of a modest workshop consisting of a single table, a ton of drawers, and bricks lying around, I finally managed to find a suitable place (though, like in everyone else, bricks are still all over the flat ;))
