Introduction: Bookend 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 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.
Step 2: Assembling
"Soldering" foregoing pieces at both sides of joints.
Warning: During this process might emit toxic gas.
Step 3: Done & 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.
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.
Oh a great use for duds.
Will have to try. :)
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
