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
Andy

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.
Iain.

Hey
I've been pondering what to do with the large amount of lego we have
in the house. The kids are well into their teens and don't really use
it anymore.
So, my question is, would a large amount of lego be a positive thing
to have in the hackspace? It currently lives in a large pine tray,
140cm long, by 70cm wide, and 14cm deep, which has a lid that sits on
top.
I guess it could live in the sofa area, and could double up as a
table. It'd maybe make the space more kid friendly, and might be fun
for everyone. Conversely, we have a lot of stuff already, and maybe
we don't need more. It could be put in a smaller box/boxes and be kept
out of the way, the pine tray is pretty large.
What do you think? Positives, negatives, suggestions, thoughts?
Cheers
Andy
