This is a useful cd rack and easy to build.
1: Make two 18x18 layers of flat plates.
2: Make this with blocks of 3 in height and 1 in width.
3: Add another layer on it, with flat plates with 1 in height and 1 in width.
4: Add plates of 1 in height and 2 in width like this.
5: Repeat this as many times as many CD's you want it to hold. End with a block layer, not a 2-width-plate layer.
6: Place two flat layers on top.
7: Insert CD's.

Cool stuff!

I've never seen the bricks of step 3. Where do they come from.

Keep on the good work, Lego genius!

they are not rare per say but not common, im sure you can buy packs of them -- i found most of mine from the 'rock raiders' kind of sets because they were used to mount 'lights' on (the green christal things). man i loved lego

Cool.... But most of them seem to rely on having "rare" pieces.
Dec 12, 2009. 11:14 AMbassclarinet23 says:
Not necessarily. The more "mechanical" kits (what are they called?) with gears and stuff have all of your "rare" pieces.
Dec 12, 2009. 11:20 AMBartboy says:
Yeah, they're called "Lego Technic"
Dec 12, 2009. 1:54 PMbassclarinet23 says:
Thank you. I couldn't remember what their "official" name is.

And the cd rack, you need a lot of platforms.
Aug 14, 2009. 7:52 PMRedgerr says:
yup 100% right, you might have to use different colors, but its all the same in the end :)

You are really creative with Legos.
