How it Works »
Here's how to make a decent bookend out of used CDs.
Firstly, gather materials up(no glue needed):
1.soldering iron
2.three or more CDs
3.bow saw

Step 1: cut the slices

As the picture shown below,three cds are needed here,two as the base and back ,and two slices as strengthening ribs.

Use a bow saw to cut all the cds with proper size and two grooves on the base cd for mount ribs.

Don't you get melted plastic stuck to your soldering iron?<br /> I think I&nbsp;would go with an epoxy instead.<br />
Yaeh, glue is a better solution, that's the awesomeness of instructables, thing improves.
That's why you would either use a different tip from normal or use a different soldering iron.<br />
Oh a great use for duds.<br /> Will have to try. :)<br />
could super or gorilla glue accomplish this?
I tried with super glue and it worked perfectly, already made 8 here
Seems very interesting, will try to make some later :3
I finally have a use for those extra clear disk's in the blank dvd spindles.
Great Idea! "Soldering" Them Is A More Permanent Way To do It But Used A Soldering Iron On Anything Other Than The Solder Can Ruin It, Otherwise A Great Idea!
Just make sure the tips are replaceable. :P
Looks good! (:
Ths ,and so do your PCB bracelet.what a cool stuff it is.
