What is the purpose of the 1/2 brick cut line? Is there an inside dividing wall that allows the brick to retain its contents if used as a 1/2 brick?

If you look at the photo you can see how the bricks stack. The "cut" line puts a contour in the side of the brick that matches up with the gap created when two bricks are side by side; like, for a strap.

It appears the purpose of the 1/2 brick cut line is simply to make the water brick look more like a brick. The water brick is completely hollow inside. If you cut it in half you'd simply ruin it for storage.

The half brick line is for manufacturing purposes only as the water brick is also sold in "half bricks". There is no dividing wall inside.

I can not say what the cut line is for. There is no solid internal wall to allow for a cut into separate bricks. My best guess is that it's for appearance or maybe to allow for a rope/binding support when carrying/transporting. If stacked in an alternating fashion like a brick wall and then bound together, the result would be incredibly sturdy and stable. Just a thought.

The unit is a hexagon - basically a rectangle with triangles on each side (looking down from above). That shape allows you to squeeze it into the corner. If you put it flat against the wall, the triangular sides are going to look funny - probably see the unfinished part behind the sides.

It has been a while since I purchased this and I don't remember if there is a divider or not. I do know that I am well pleased with my purchase and I would recommend it to anyone. My baby loves it and it is wonderful.

Yes, use a masonry blade to make the cut, should work better than a wood framed wall.

There is foam inside. It's pre-cut into squares... just pull out the squares you don't need to make the spaces.

If you get a perfect cut... Which does happen sometimes , the 2 pieces go back together perfectly but you can still see a line. Maybe a good glue would hide the line.

This is a very solid item, and I think you could remove the storage pockets. I would recommend leaving the whole border between the pan and pockets and cut at least 1/4 inch below the top to maintain a rigid end, to prevent cracking if you have to move a full pan.

I have not found dividers. I used mine to store beads - some loose - some on strings. I used ziplock bags to store the ones on strings (that would work for your larger lego pieces) and I use tackle boxes with dividers for the loose beads (which would work for your smaller lego pieces). Be sure to measure the inner measurement twice before you buy the tackle boxes. While the adjustments I made come at a cost, I am very happy with this solution. I hope this helps in your decision making. Good luck.

I did have to cut it some, in Ga we have 2x4 studded walls. seems like 10",, or 12"These things were probably made to serve even up north where houses have 2x6 walls.

Yes you can we build both ways. it makes more sense to me to do it a block at a time, some things I've made following their instructions it was easier to build it flat and pick it up though

It is a finished piece so I wouldn't cut it. You *could* cut from the bottom. I purposes this differently than as sold, so I can't answer the hardware question.

Not sure. The blocks were added to our collection and we threw the container out. Sorry I could not be more help.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

As I recall, there is only one wooden divider in the box. It is removable. I purchased a set of dividers at the same time I bought the box.

I bought it for the sole purpose of getting evenly cut treats using the divider without using the pan...I've used it for both peanut butter fudge and brownies. I have also baked in the pan without the divider but never baked in it with the divider. It makes wonderful, evenly cut pieces...great for bake sales!!

I removed brick and while my purpose was to create an access door and not salvage the brick I can say it could be done. I actually cut along the mortar joints as well as across the brick both very easily. One would still be required to clean up and remove the remaining mortar (depending on use of the brick) but it could be done.

I bought it to cut ceramic tile which is much harder than brick. i have cur some slate with it, too. Although I have not tried it on brick I can't imagine you'd have any problem other than possible clearance (thickness) issues.
