"Dad! where's our Lego?!!"

Hi
Thanks for the thoughts and feedback, all appreciated.
I put a couple of pictures on...

...one with lid on and one with lid-off. This amount of lego in the
photo is probably about half of the total.
Currently pondering if kid-friendly and kid-dangerous are mutually
exclusive states, sort of feel like after 16 years of parenting I
should have figured this out already :)
Also would love to see a photo of the current SR2 lego city set-up :D
It's funny, but I have found that, for me at least, lego quite often
ends up being the quickest way to make a thing, but that's probably
skewed by having a shit load of it to hand.
Cheers

Hi,
I don’t think adding Lego makes the space any more kid friendly given
the
assortment of power tools, hot tools, etc. We wouldn’t want to give the
impression that we are providing a crèche and I don’t even think children
can be members.
That said, Lego is also good for adults and I could see myself diving
into a bin
of Lego to find parts for a build if it were just in the space
as a consumable. I’ve got the SR2 Office Lego City to play with and
probably wouldn’t be interested in building anything for permanently
sitting in the hackerspace.
This pine tray intrigues me. It’s got some odd dimensions.
