DIY cheap, chic and modular

Step 6 Assemble

Now that you have the pieces, all you need to do is glue them together the same way you glued the prototypes. This time you need to make sure how the material you've chosen works best. For example I chose Masonite to make the desk version so I used carpenter's white glue.

Make sure you make regular proportional cubes unless your design is made out of rectangles.

Tip: When you glue corner with corner one should be glued to the inside and then the next should be glued to the outside (Making that: two corners glued to the inside and two to glued to the outside).

That's all you need! you can now paint it or just install it as it is. Fill it up with pictures, books or whatever you want.
Enjoy!!!

Very nice idea, I like the simplicity.  Though, I am uneasy about only gluing the joints.. not much or strength if your going to load books onto it. Maybe more strength will be realized one the modules are interlocked.

Cheers!

 I would not trust the butt joints to take a load of books. In the original design the joints are mitered, as you can see in the alternate photo in the intro step. I think with good miter joints, nailing alternate teeth from opposite directions, they would become extremely rugged. Also in the alternate photo there seem to be fillers, or stiffeners, inserted in opposite corners.
