How To Build Numbers With LEGO
A close look at our numbers and you should easily see what you need. I wanted to create a uniform size, so I chose the same width {at the widest point} for all the numbers. Starting with zero, I made the base with a 2×8 {or any combination of bricks} stacked 2 layers high. I wanted a chunky and sturdy design.
