Brittle Green Plate Update | LEGO Studio Improvements!

[@tannjam]

Crazy Idea - you could use some of the broken plates for some texturing on the mountain's countryside... makeshift wedge plate , then you just hide the worst of the tearout with plants.

[@jacksonstarky8288]

As a former IT guy and computer networking nerd, I totally approve your computer workspace improvements. I've been out of the tech industry for almost seventeen years now, but I still keep my own computer workspace absolutely locked down for cabling. A sit-stand desk is next on my list as I go into my last decade of work before retirement; my current job has me on my feet and active, but I know I'm going to have issues with staying mobile after work ends, as my knees are already arthritic.

[@vickioikonomou6639]

please stop breaking the brittle plates, it makes me sad 😥

[@verinelghinyrr]

I know I was like "no stop snapping them!" Lol.

[@mattiamontanari]

You mentioned about not being sure what to use the white mason bricks for, if you update the hospital at some point, those could be good there.

[@anamarijahalaburic2569]

Or some marble monument, a fountain, anything that involves white stone.

[@peggyp5996]

Ooooh, I want to dig in to the Sort table! That would be so fun!

[@EMR-DESIGN]

Wow!!! You have really done a lot of work on sorting all the bricks and a nice challenge to sort all the bricks on the two tables. It looks so well organized and good that you also changes the desks. You probably haven't touched so many bricks in one day. Great work and Josee will indeed be happy she can use the label printer. 😃👍

[@Basically.Bricks]

The delivery people must know you by name now 😉 haha loving your progress, Jordan! Looks amazing 🎉

[@ericwolford9111]

If the new plates are different colors than the brittle ones, maybe you could do a line of the brittle and then a line of the new plates. It will look like lawn mower marks! That would be awesome!

[@EzBricks_]

You’re hands down one of my favorite KZbinrs!

[@Scy]

You might wanna get a spray can of maybe black or something and spray a dot or all of the underside of all the brittle ones so that you dont accidentally mix them if you were to break up the mountain builds at a later time. So then you'll know when you see one with black underneath.

[@victorantuneziii6621]

If that parts table is long term you should definitely add a lip surrounding it so parts dont fall on the floor when sorting.

[@rickyma3189]

He's a Lego Pro 😉

[@SadiErgin-uw1kz]

Hey bricksie,ı think what you can do is to make a code for every drawer (Like bricklink sellers do) so it would be easier for you to find and organize your parts for future builds. And then make a list on your phone/pc to find those parts.Hope this helps!

[@rickyma3189]

The brittle 4x4 plate is a good deal if you have plans to make green MILs plates with builds that you do not plan on moving. It looks like once you put them down they won't come off without breaking.

[@deadbytwenty7752]

It’s funny how key daily cleanups and organization are when it comes to LEGO. When I used to buy used lots and defrag all the sets that were in there I was constantly resetting. It’s kinda relaxing though.

[@jeffrey-x2j]

wow !! that is a lot Lego bricks !! cool way of keeping it organized !!

[@johnvocatura]

Jordan, "you should"....:)... Put the wheels on your other black table so you have two matching giant tables you can move around. Put legs on the white one. It's better on your eyes as well if you are sorting looking at the table all day. The white reflects a bunch more light. Also think you should put shelves on the units behind your work station. Space out the cars a bit for now. Pull your desk away about 8" or so. Give you some space. The studio is coming along awesome Jordan. Great job.

[@40kknight]

@20:56 You need to reconstruct the 6280 Armada Flagship! The sails are below the unsorted 501st bin. It will look epic along side the Sea Cow, Silent Mary, and Barracuda Bay ships.

[@Markvigil1985]

I am so happy for you Jordan, you done your work area MUCH better space upstairs in the LEGO Studio, and started sorted all off non sorted LEGO😱😀👍👏👏👑🔥

[@ellycat5703]

That's awesome you are finally getting on top of the sorting! I sure hope those two black tables are clamped together >__< . I keep my unsorted parts in those giant Lego storage heads. Then I just sit down and watch some tv with one sat in my lap as I pick parts out into little containers around me. It's almost like holding a popcorn bucket xD

[@AJB2K3]

[@partiegratuite]

That's why I love this hobby (and this channel)! It's part building, and part organizing. And I love both equally.

[@cas3157]

19:30 looks like a great modern art! You could sell picture of it

[@harmundcarakan201]

I use the a sifter, similar to the one you posted in a previous video, and put things into bins based on size, then do the type sort where you take out the bricks, plates, objects, then have been sorting by part type from there. Slowly making my way through 400lbs of bulk lego I got, plus some from various sources. So good luck to you. Find it handy to have the bins on a lower level a space in front of you to do a small chunk, then just slide them into their respective big in groups as I go through it, then repeat for sizes. Look forward to how you refine that process!

[@tonihall7810]

Love sorting and talking about the winter villiage ! Nearly Christmas again lol… tfs

Tackling sorting parts will be a journey! It will definitely help you with your lego city and save you some money by finding some hidden gems in there. Good luck we'll be here for it!

[@thorn0581]

Given the origins of the studio as more of a warehouse type building you should be able to get a low voltage specialist or IT installer to run some Cat6 wire up in the rafters that can then run to several ethernet boxes around the studio. It would cut that cord down to more managable length. It could run off a simple switch to start with before looking at a small network setup with either a NAS or inexpensive server that you can dump your raw footage onto and access it from home or at the studio. But that could be something for the future.

[@bricks_in_space]

Wondering if to entice the process and not waste time, if you got an egg timer for part sorting, or you could use your cell phone. You can set the timer for 15-20 minutes and crank it out for a few. That would really make it go quickly. Nice clean day today.

[@the43rdparallelthrift34]

Trying to type and having the keyboard at the "wrong" height in relation to your body, is rough. I have a varidesk 36, it's a manually operated standing desk with 2 levels and a large bottom level, that fits my typing keyboard on it, as well as my 61 key Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol keyboard for when I'm making some music. The top level has my M-Audio Monitors with my computer monitors, sitting on top of them. There's even room in between the two monitors for my Lenovo laptop for when I really need to do some work. I keep the desk at the lowest height because I have carpal tunnel issues and can't be bending my wrists in a manner that constricts them. I'm glad you got those parts, replaced, and the studios is looking very nice! I like how everything is tidy and organized... I have that disorder, too, where I can't feel comfortable in a cluttered space. Even too much sound makes me feel cluttered. The human mind and nervous system is weird 😅

[@bimmerfan2126]

Seems like the seller made an honest mistake before. Great customer service sending them out for free plus some free baseplates!

[@aussiedude3121]

He seems very fishy to me. Lego would never let that many brittle green plates into circulation. If you have a look at the seller in brick link he has over 430,000 of them. That is obviously stolen from Mexico factory. He also has over 8.8 million 2x2 white tiles which is suspiciously high. He also has over 40,000 Jack sparrow hair pieces. He has 50,000 ninjago armour pieces. This guy is definitely stealing from the Mexico factory.

[@Mb63360]

Why do people think Lego has such a wasteful manufacturing process? They are literally the world leader in injection molded plastic. According to Wikipedia, 0.0018% of Lego pieces are defective. That’s 430,000 out of 23 billion. I can almost guarantee they haven’t produced that many 4x4 green plates considering they’ve only made 400 billion pieces in the last 50 years. Unless you’re trying to say 5% of all Lego ever produced is 4x4 green plate and this seller has 100% of the defects produced since 1970, which I’d also confidently say is a pretty retarded conspiracy theory

[@aussiedude3121]

[@mattb.2359]

Directly from the seller the last video of this series. He says they are great for MILS plates. Which a lot of people put together once and don’t take apart. And the green plate is that brittle due to a factory defect. So they would have been thrown away.

[@jacksonstarky8288]

I was going to ask in the previous video... what's the deal with the brittle green plates? Is it just the green ones? Is it something to do with the change of plastic LEGO made a year or two ago? Anybody with an answer is welcome to reply. 🙂

Brown and red Lego has this problem - it might be something to do with the colour dyes used.
