Bookend made of CDs.

introBookend made of CDs.

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 1cut 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.

step 2assembling
"Soldering" foregoing pieces at both sides of joints. Warning: During this process might emit toxic gas.

step 3Done & tests.
That's it,a stylish bookend for free. This ins. is compatible with CD and DVDs(HD & Blue-ray might be work) These transparent disks are made of CD-ROM by filing it's back layers. Have fun!

Don't you get melted plastic stuck to your soldering iron?
I think I would go with an epoxy instead.

That's why you would either use a different tip from normal or use a different soldering iron.

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!
