Hi all - I've long admired @henrysunset's sorting labels and played around with creating some labels that I could print out to 8.5x11 sheets of Avery label paper. I wanted to include color on the labels as well as the color names I am most familiar with. My storage system is to sort by piece into large divided tupperwares, and then sort by color in polybags within the tupperware. I do this for a number of reasons, but primarily so that my collection is portable and I can build in multiple rooms. I've found that applying the Avery labels to the top of the polybags makes it so I can easily grab the right color of the right piece at a glance (see pics). Has anyone else done this before? I'd love to see your results. Here are some examples from 3023 / 1x2 plates Adobe Illustrator source file: https://www.evancrouch.com/files/LegoLabels-plates.ai

Using an A3 Report to streamline my sorting and storing process
legoman19892 posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
I did an A3 report of sorting and storing my LEGO. Eliminated rework and did some visual management as a result. Anyone else do this to lessen sort time? What is an A3?: https://quality-one.com/a3/ -

henrysunset posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm Tom Alphin, author of The LEGO Architect book. For the past 6 months, I've been working on a new in-depth guide exploring LEGO Storage topics. I'm pleased to announce that my LEGO Storage Guide is ready for people to enjoy (and give feedback.) The guide is extensive, with 10 chapters and around 50 pages of free content: Section I: Organizing, Sorting, & Storing LEGO Bricks — The guide walks you through the process of understanding your LEGO collection, exploring different ways to organize your collection, great storage solutions for a LEGO collection of any size, and additional tips and tricks. Section II: Displaying & Storing LEGO Minifigures — This section explores some of the best ways to show off and protect your favorite LEGO minifigures. The guide is informed by detailed surveys of around 200 LEGO enthusiasts. The data analysis helped me prepare LEGO storage recommendations based on the size of your collection and other factors. The guide is well researched... It contains results from a detailed LEGO Storage survey with about 200 responses, learnings from interviews with top LEGO builders from around the world, and recommendations based on numerous articles, books, and forum discussions on eurobricks.com website. LINK: http://brickarchitect.com/guide/ I hope you enjoy reading the guide, and I can't wait to hear your feedback! I will continue improving the guide in the coming weeks, and am tracking your suggestions for future improvements in the acknowledgements section. Sincerely, ---tom P.S. I'm eager to hear - what's your favorite LEGO storage product? -
Thought I would share a tool I've made for generating lego labels: www.legolabels.com

From buckets to bins: How to sort a lot of Lego.
henrysunset posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
As some of you might have read in my previous article, I recently purchased a ton of bricks on Craigslist which I have painstakingly sorted into sets. This article covers: different sorting goals (by color, by part, etc..) how to sort it (I used a two-pass sorting algorithm) how to store it (I used drawers) Read the Article: From buckets to bins: How to sort a lot of Lego Take a look and let me know what you think... I'm especially interested to hear how your sorting and storing method differs. (I'm pretty sure it's a good storage method - it's Lord Business approved!) Sincerely, ---tom
