From The Vault - Nathans Storage Deep Dive (2021) Brick System Brothers 2025-02-16 | This week's video is a bit different as I have decided to publish a video that I shot in 2021, with the footage archived since then. I have since moved twice and my LEGO is not nearly as accessible in my current situation, but the thoughts and topics in this video remain relevant to my general approach and I hope to have a similar workshop back in operation soon.Enjoy this throwback video, which I am calling "From The Vault" as potentially the first in a group of videos that utilize footage that never made it into a video on the channel. 0:00 Introduction1:29 Storage less than 3L10:44 3L cube bins12:14 How many pieces in a Liter?13:15 Storage above 5L19:13 "soft storage" in bags22:47 Transient storage and sorting24:57 Summary

Building a Cargo Freighter from Idea Book 239 Brick System Brothers 2025-01-25 | Modern LEGO parts come in thousands of shapes and hundreds of colors, but in the far-away days of 1966 there was not as much variety to choose from. That didn't stop some clever folks at LEGO from coming up with a plethora of designs for the company to showcase in their Idea Books. In most cases, these models had no detailed building instructions, only some general guidance on how to approach a structure that would at least be similar to what was shown on the pages.Today, Nathan tackles a ship from a harbor scene about halfway through an Idea Book that came out in 1966. You can find step-by-step instructions to build this model on Rebrickable here: https://reb.li/m/1984380:00 LEGO Idea Books1:37 Harbor Scene2:30 Model & Speedbuild5:17 Build Notes10:14 ConclusionsIdea Book 239 review by BrickTsar youtube.com/watch?v=UitJBBNZisMBrickset Idea Book Scans brickset.com/library/ideasbooks239 Rebrickable Catalogue entry rebrickable.com/sets/239-1/wir-bauen-mit-lego-idea-book/?inventory=1Scanned PDF of 239 oldinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1966-239-1-Idea-Book.pdfMusic: "Lights" by Patrick Patrikios, sourced from the YouTube Audio Library

The Subconscious Impact of LEGO as a Global Brand (Europe trip part 1) Brick System Brothers 2024-10-14 | One month after my return from Luxembourg, I want to collect some of my thoughts from my experience as they pertain to LEGO specifically.

This Library in Maine Contains a LEGO Version of Itself Brick System Brothers 2024-08-05 | I had the opportunity to travel through Maine this summer and happened upon a well-done model of a coastal town's public library. Camden Maine is not a huge city, but it has a bustling downtown and a thriving library at the top of a hill overlooking the bay. Inside the main floor, not far from the entrance, a LEGO version of the structure provides a different perspective of the building and utilizes many different techniques to create a smaller version of the architecture on display.As it was a library, I had to keep my voice down. Apologies if my narration was difficult to hear.
