Storage and Sorting
Just a quick snapshot of my current working space. The visible units here range from small to large. I also have oversized bins out of the picture for unsorted and non-labled parts, and tv, dvd player, etc for use while I'm building (nothing like sitting down to build and watching box sets from things like Star Wars, Bugs Bunny, Family Guy, etc...all the world's problems go away for a while!)
The only unique thing about my storage method, compared to others I've seen, is that I label and sort with drawers in the same fashion as Bricklink catagorizes parts in their catalog. This way I'm "speaking the same language" when it comes to locating a part or deciding where to store it. I've found it extremely helpful since Bricklink's cataloging is thorough, extensive, and seems to function well. If I'm ever confused as to where to put a new piece, or having trouble finding something in my collection, I just go to Bricklink to see where they put it, and compare that to my labeling...it takes me right where I need to go.
