I would like to think that I am very good at organization and storage solutions. When properties are prime real estate, space and the amount of products would be crucial. I was facinated with how much stuff these merchants were able to display.
Back in the early to mid 1900's progressive grain farms built this style of corncrib.This "thin" design was more efficient to store and handle corn picked on the cob.Later when threshers and combines began shelling the grain,these cribs became obsolete and because of their narrow design,hard to adapt for other uses such as machine storage.We had 2 on our farm back in the early '60s-they were taken down shortly after and replaced by more efficient,but much less interesting,round metal grain bins(there's one in the background here) that dot the rural landscape today...and sure enough this relic was full of corn cobs....
Efficiency doesn't always have the same character....
Have a great Sliders Sunday everyone!
ROG 37884 passes Stokesay Castle near Craven Arms with 5W78 1217 Gresty Green-Landore taking DMUs 175006 and 175007 for storage. 37608 brings up the rear.
I wasn't going to post this today but I keep getting a message from Photoshop that my scratch disks are full, so until I can archive some images I can't work on any new ones....I need to be better at workflows and storage solutions. Hope you have a fantastic Saturday!
I started building my cabinet for all of my camping gear. A lot of cabinet for a lot of gear, but this will also have a lot of internal storage solutions to maximize the space. Why waste the space I say?!
Theme: Re-Creation
Year Twelve Of My 365 Project
The #MacroMondays #SingleUse theme
I've turned to the natural world for this week's single use theme. Hornet nests, like those of wasps, are built, initially by queens, in spring and extended over the following weeks by her worker offspring to accommodate a growing colony. By mid autumn their purpose, which is to raise new males and queens who will found the next generation, has been fulfilled. Once the new queens depart and mate, with a chilly few months of hibernation in nooks and crannies ahead of them, the colony disintegrates and the nest falls into disuse, never to be used again. However, if the nest site is sufficiently attractive, and provided there is room for another nest, the site itself (usually a dark, secluded place such as a crevice in a tree or wall) may be reoccupied.
This hornet nest appeared one spring in a bird nestbox in our garden. We found our unexpected guests to be handsome, gentle and unobtrusive creatures, quite unlike their reputation. They remained, welcome and intriguing, all summer before disappearing, as they always do, allowing us to retrieve their fascinating nest in perfect safety during the following winter. Moral: If you are concerned about an active wasp or hornet nest, then, provided it presents no significant danger or inconvenience, it may be left alone and the 'problem' (such as it is) will soon resolve itself, free of charge and with no necessity to add yet more toxins to the environment. Any access hole may be blocked during winter to deter reoccupation.
The hexagonal cell structure of the nest chambers demonstrates the principle of hexagonal packing. Briefly, the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh wished to learn of the most efficient manner to store cannonballs on ship. He set in motion a 400 year search for the mathematical proof of the most efficient means of storage, a project which defeated even the genius Johannes Kepler who had the mathematical acumen to model the motions of the planets, and whose laws are taught in schools and universities to this day. He conjectured that "Hexagonal packing must be the tightest possible so that in no other arrangement could more pellets be stuffed into the same container." Quite so, but where was the proof? Even Kepler admitted defeat on that one, but he believed that the ubiquity of hexagonal structures in Nature was no accident.
An advance occurred in the 1950s when Laszlo Fejes Toth showed that the maximum density of all possible arrangements of stored items could be found through a finite but very large number of calculations. This raised the possibility of proof by exhaustion (trying absolutely everything) rather than by hypothesis and experiment. What was needed was a computer with sufficient grunt to complete every one of those calculations in a reasonably timely manner. However, that had to wait until the 1990s. Enter now, Thomas Hales who found that solving about 100,000 linear programming problems would confirm or refute Kepler's Conjecture - it's no wonder Kepler admitted defeat in the 17th Century! Seven years, 250 pages of notes and three gigabytes later, Hales' exhaustive proof was 99% accepted. The assessors were satisfied with the results but could not verify all those programs. Unfortunately, 99% does not a mathematical law make. Undeterred, Hales continued, this time creating software which would check all those individual programs, and which itself could be verified by the assessors. He submitted his updated proof in 2014 for it to be 100% accepted in 2017.
Perhaps there was another way. Why didn't we simply ask the hornets, wasps and bees? Or perhaps beekeepers at least. Charles Darwin may well have observed that, because effort used in any wasteful direction confers a survival disadvantage, hornets and related insects must have already shown us the solution that Kepler, Toth, Hales and others had sweated over. All we needed perhaps was the humility to look at their storage solution, one they'd happily been using for millions of years before Sir Walter posed his troublesome question. Might the hornets have applied Nature's own approach to proof by exhaustion? Those who have read Douglas Adams' humorous yet very perceptive "The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy" may recognise that argument.
It's Game, Set and Match to the hornets then. This photo stacked image was taken window lit as shown using a 36mm extension tube. Gentle processing of colour channels and boosts to draw out its texture complete the image.
HMM all. And let's hear it for the hornets!
_________________________________________
Epilogue . . . How might Sir Walter Raleigh have been assisted by the hornets? Hales (and the hornets) show that had the intrepid seafarer who caused all this trouble used the hexagonal packing arrangements already in vogue for millions of years, he would have achieved a cannonball packing density of about 74%. Simply throwing them in to a box (as he seems to have) results in a density of about 65%. Hexagonal packing therefore represents about a 14% improvement over random packing. Must remember that the next time I take the rubbish to the dump . . .
My storage solution for unused bricks. Thousands of years in the future, robot archaeologists will ponder its meaning to the now extinct humans. Joke’s on them – there is no meaning.
My storage solution, 'cause I don't have a lot of space and this was as compact as I could figure out.
Shelving by Ikea. Forty compartment plastic containers (on their side) by Container Store. Overflow in Art Bin containers in adjacent room. LEGO sorted by color then by size.
I feel better when my supplies look all pretty. I'm currently working to eliminate as much plastic from my studio storage solutions as possible.

It's that time of year when you reorganise the house and think of storage solutions. My daughter was throwing out her shoe rack, so I grabbed it and have just put all of my shoes and boots together. Before this they were everywhere. Should of done it years a go.
Had quite a busy day (for me, for a Saturday). Got most of the garage cleared out now - just need to find a couple more storage solutions and get a coat of paint on the walls, and my indoor shooting space will be back to its best :)
Oh, the hair has to go aswell... I can't take this 'mid-stage' any more.

New innovative design. As a coffee table offers a new height , higher than most of the coffee tables in the market . This product even allows storage in the mid section. Allow your imagination. Adapt it and use it for your purposes. With na easy to open system is surely the best way to hide those spare objects normally present in any room of your house. Think of it not only as a coffee but as a storage solution that you can adapt to your bedroom and even to your hallway.
This is where I keep my doll furniture. It's located upstairs just next to my sewing room/photo studio/craft room.
It is a daily fight to keep it "neat" and "organized". It is absolutely 100% full now. Each thing has its place (almost), but if I want to get new stuff, I will have to find more storage solutions or sell some things. (Of course I don't want to.)
There's is A LOT of Sindy stuff!!
These are Billy shelves from Ikea.
There is about 70% (ok...maybe 55% to be honest) of my stuff there. Bigger items like cars, kitchens, horses and bathrooms are stored elsewhere -which is why I rarely use them, it's less easy to have access to those.
This weeks challenge was a container ! These are a hat box, & a round ,deep container That I covered with fabric, trim, & flowers . It provides a storage solution but is attractive at the same time ...plus it coordinates with the room they are in !

Just like most AFOLs wanting to spend more on the bricks/sets, also use the shoe boxes for sorting/storing them. One of the metal racks with forty two boxes and underneath are the other storage bins/trays for smaller pieces.
Other AFOLs ask how/why I build quick/fast and the main reason is having a system for storing the brick inventory. Little time is wasted when you know where the pieces you need are and would most of the time get the pieces needed ready before building a MOC. Develop a storage system that works best for your needs so you can spend more time building than looking for those missing pieces.
Not in the pictures are the common bricks/plates which are in bigger plastic bins sorted by color and the minifigs which are in smaller plastic containers shown before sorted by theme.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about handmade storage solutions, thanks to the Sewing Room Swap! I referred to Oh, Fransson's Stack & Nest Quilted Blocks free pattern, but with one less layer of interfacing and a lot less quilting, it looks a little bit rounded...But I love it anyway, and I loved being able to use up a lot of previously idle scraps! Of course, I owe the inspiration for the QAYG patchwork directly to Amy.
This inflatable fuel tank has been designed for future human landings on the Moon, where mass and volume will be in short supply. Intended to store cryogenic liquids or gases, these tanks could be delivered in compacted form then only inflated when needed – including through the processing of in-situ resources from the lunar surface.
Made of multiple Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) monolith sheets, surrounded by high strength ribbons and bounded by two metallic domes, the 13 litre tank can be compacted by around 60%. It can subsequently be inflated to full size, sustaining a pressure of 60 bar, or 60 times normal sea level pressure.
This Small Inflatable Space Tank Engineering Model, SISTEM, project was supported through ESA’s Technology Demonstration Element for promising new space technologies, and led by Thales Alenia Space in Italy.

I have added so many new minis and have found a storage solution for them...so I thought I would update my picture!
Late model, last registered in 1990. It missed the death of Grunge, birth of Britpop and of course, the rise of AltaVista.

beeeijos!!
At least this small area of the room is finally complete. (Who knew how much time raising a toddler could take up?)
Living in London and in a 1-bed flat often means there's (lack of) storage sagas and clutter chaos! Being a bit of a paradox myself when it comes to the matter of being a hoarder-yet-slightly-OCD-about-dust-and-clutter; what kind of storage solutions do you advocate and how do you deal with all your "stuff"?

New house, new LEGO laboratory.
We moved in 3 days ago and all the LEGO is now consolidated in its new home in the basement.
A ton to rearrange, organize, and sort, but it’s good to have the collection back together again.
Only one of my finders came with a leather case, and I couldn't find a proper sized plastic case to hold them, so I bought some of these jewelry bags. The material is very easy to write on, and the lighter color makes them easier to read.
47812 and 47815 Lost Boys 68-88 trundle along the Down Derby Goods with a couple of translator vehicles running as 5L46 Ely Papworth Sidings to Laira T & R.S.M.D. off to collect another HST rake for storage. The former FGW HST sets are in secure storage at Ely, more than can be said for the former Rover Group KSA-A wagons which have been stored in the Up Sidings for several years now.
Stunning geometric sideboards featuring bold chevron patterns with luxurious gold accents. Available in sophisticated black or classic white finishes, both elevated on sleek metal legs.

4 weeks of sorting and still not done (Eww, technic!). Added a number of more permanent storage solutions (not old shoe boxes) and expanded out so I no longer have any drawers that won't close because they're so full!
Eventually this will lead to building again. I've got some ideas brewing and a sorted collection should make building a little smoother!
The old Oil store at St Bees is a charming little building, the container comePortakabin marked as St Bees REB didn't quite have the same charm. Two Class 153's pass between the two buildings heading north with 2C35 06.51 Barrow to Carlisle.
Walls are painted Smoke by Benjamin Moore. West Elm capiz chandelier, Parsons desk from Overstock.com, gallery frames from Pottery Barn Kids, and storage containers and floating shelves from the Container Store.

My first set of combo keepers. An original design by yours truly. These dolls are mini storage solutions for all things small.
On the exterior, she holds bakers twine, but can easily hold other trimmings, such as linen tape and ribbon!
Her head is removable for you to store your favorite needles and beads!
A guy's got to have some place to store (and display!) his awesome collection of kicks- for instance, this cube storage shelving unit from the IKEA 'Huset' furniture set!
(the first time in a while I've set up a still-life shot like this, bear with me...)
Storage cubes and rug by IKEA. Green chair by re-ment. Plate (used as valet) by MegaHouse. All sneakers from 7toys7. Dynamite Girls 'Love Revolution' sandals. Mattel 'Divergent' boots.

I had some wasted ceiling space in a closet as well as a need to organize wrapping paper, so I put together this storage solution. It's only 4 anchors and screws and some galvanized wire. Before this, I had tried 3M decorating clips and thread, but it wasn't strong enough to hold this much weight. Step back. See this set.
This is an original furniture project I made for my Architecture & Furniture course at IIT during the fall 2016 semester. The idea for my project was to design and build a work station on which I could design and build my LEGO projects. I spent the first half of the semester conceptualizing and iterating with the help of my professor's expertise. The weeks leading up to finals were spent building and refining my design. The final product realizes the idea I set forth, as it is meant primarily for building current projects, not simply another storage solution.
This one's going straight into the portfolio!
Above are photos of my new SKB iSeries hard-sided case with inserts by ThinkTank. This is the SKB iSeries 2015-7DL.
When trying to decide what case would work best, I had some difficulty making a selection. I hope these images might help others who are searching for a hard case.
It may be obvious to most, but it took me some time to decipher the naming convention. In the iSeries, the numbers are the case’s dimensions. For my case, the 2015-7DL indicates that the case's internal dimensions are 20” by 15” and 7” deep. The “L” suffix means that the lid organizer is included.
Few retail locations (near me) carry more than one or two options, so I would have to try
To figure out what would fit, I found the interior dimensions and taped off the sizes of various cases on a floor. I laid my gear out in a variety of grid configurations to see what would work best.
Some additional considerations:
• I envision using this case as both a storage solution for most of my Fuji gear and to take to large shoots. However, any time I would use this much gear, I would travel almost exclusively by car so I did not want a wheeled case
• When deciding what would “make the cut” to be included in my storage case, I decided that I would keep chargers and cords for both camera batteries and speed lights, but not cleaning supplies (rocket blower, sensor wipes, etc.).
At present, I have the following packed in the case:
Cameras
Fujfilm X-T2 + Gariz Leather Half case
Fujifilm X-T30 + Gariz Leather Half case
