Good points. Very important to me is finding the right balance between the difficulty of putting stuff back, vs being able to quickly finding the part you want. Having TOO many categories is just as detrimental to your fun as having too few.
Honestly Organizing is going to be different for every person depending on the types of sets you get. You may end up with a ton of one piece type, but like 1-3 of others, so just devoting an entire slot to 3 pieces would be a waste. However, it also depends on the types of MOC Building you're into. For small parts, I would suggest looking into Jewelry/Bead Organizers though, just decide if you want Desk Organizers or Case Styles that can be stowed in a Cabinet for those small parts. Also don't be afraid to lookup some Cabinetry videos online, and build a cabinet yourself, since you might already have a builder's mindset...
I agree that sorting into broader categories first and only later sorting into more specialized categories (or color) makes a lot of sense, that's what I also try to do with my Lego collection!
I haven't got a huge amount of pieces, so I've got 16 tiny boxes which are sorted by colour for the small pieces, and anything larger than a 2x2 all gets put in 1 container
Great video. I also have bigger drawers, where I have ziplock bags with the different type of bricks. And then the gigantic bag with all the stuff I cannot decide where they should go.
My first sort was by general color, I quickly needed to separate the blacks from the dark and light grays... and I recently found another box of unsorted legos. I don't have enough bins! Great video!
I actually designed and built them myself just using wood from the hardware store. They are super handy and I’m glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
@@BenjBuilds thanks! I'm moving into selling parts from primarily sets and i'm not finding affordable organizers. My concern with the DIY approach is having drawer 'stoppers', 'separators' and handles, as convenience and efficiency is key. Do you miss having these?
Thanks so much for watching!

Very true. Some of that is coming up with a system that makes sense to you and your own brain lol Thanks for watching!
She is a hero! Walking with bare feet in a room full of Lego😄
😂😂 I picked a good one for sure!
Quite humorous! 😂
This is such a great video, espically showing how u can build off of what you have and giving so many great tips!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice! Its helped me so much… Thanks for watching!
So good to see there are other Ziplock enthusiasts out there.
You’re not alone! Lol
This is for sure a unique and creative way I think we all have uses for the drawers I know I have over the years anyways nice video

We ended up with similar broad categories! Definitely in agreement with you. Nice job on the last step shelves!
I like to think my categories make sense lol glad I'm not alone. Thanks for watching!
Idk how you only have 855 subs!
Who knows, UA-cam is a strange place lol glad you like the channel!
I don't know either
Thanks so much for the advice
No problem! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Can you make a video concentrating on the shelves you use for your parts trays. I like it
I did film a lot of that build process. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!
Great video.
I also have bigger drawers, where I have ziplock bags with the different type of bricks.
And then the gigantic bag with all the stuff I cannot decide where they should go.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And nice! Great minds think alike
Great ideas!
Thonks
5:06 idk why that scared me but it did😂
😂😂😂
Just started with lego again, and got my first pick a brick order, i have found out i actually enjoy sorting it xD
My first sort was by general color, I quickly needed to separate the blacks from the dark and light grays... and I recently found another box of unsorted legos. I don't have enough bins! Great video!
You can always use bags haha thanks!
Nice work! Editing on point too =)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
He's backk 🗣🗣🗣
Pshhh I never left lol how ya been?
@@BenjBuilds Good man! How about you?
@@republicclones9009 Glad to hear it! I'm doing good as well

Bruh... why is the Millennium Falcon from 2012 disassembled?

@benjbuilds could you send a link to the large white wooden 'akro mills-type' shelf? Ive never seen it before, looks super handy!

@@elementbane I can't imagine it would be too difficult to add those features to my setup, but I haven't felt the need to. Works great for me so far!
Definitely in the minority here with 100k + loose bulk sorted all into color first lol.
Dang! Has it been difficult finding pieces?
Helpful and funny? Say less 🔥
🙌
Can you sort mine now
Hahahahahaha…… no
First world problems 😅
😂😂😂
