Dude, that is awesome. now if only i had a cnc machine

[buvra]

[siafulinux]

Nice!!! Really nice!

[siafulinux]

You could use a jigsaw, but it would take a bit of time... still, it's possible.

[buvra]

thanks a lot

[artworker]

You have made the sexiest thing on instructables.

[Queen_of_losers]

Such a brilliant idea and good application! Congratulations..

[piperjon]

This is BRILLIANT. And I would be the one with the jigsaw trying to do that, just a bit on the old-school side for something as AWESOME as a CNC. Very good look, and with lots of potential for other projects. - Pj

avesome idea

PS: kitapl1k diye görünce nedense mutlu oldum:)

[buvra]

:):) thx

[piper1234]

amazing mix of crafting and typography graphic design :D William Morris and Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus would be proud, a standing clap ; )

[Dream Dragon]

That is a VERY nice piece of work, reminds me a little of the Japanese style lights "shoji"(?) but a very creative and original take on the idea. Well done and thanks for sharing your project.

[barbara32ca]

These are gorgeous!

[buvra]

thanks for your attention:)

[velorna]

Very nice and creative

If ever the shelves were made too long and "wowed" a bit, you could add stiffeners that lined with the lettering and was mounted, of course, to the undersides.

Even if the stiffeners were not one solid piece, as is often found on the front of a cabinet shelf, and were, instead, several short pieces, still, they would vastly improve the strength of a long shelf.

Will get an "A" mark for sure...

[buvra]

he is my boss on this project^^

[abonaza]

i love this work

[imp]

awesome work. i really like that.

[buvra]

Thank you for your interest and useful advises.
I will take consideration.

[UberNoober]

One of the coolest looking bookshelves I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant.

[mpedersen]

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing

[AcidCow]

Wow, nicely done! Jjust the kind of thing I had in mind only about a 50th in size...

[hmouda]

good

[ilpug]

very well done. great idea, and great workmanship. I have no CNC machine, but i might do something like this.

[CrLz]

Beautiful!

[umarthebeast]

Nice work!
you should put something like wax paper behind it to diffuse the light so it spreads evenly

[umarthebeast]

lol nevermind i take the diffusion thing back

[Rehmatullah]

i like your lighting and word cutting.... nice shelf style.. i like it

[Rich99]

i refuse to read any i'ble with the phrase " Here we go! Let's cut the parts with CNC" in it.

o lehimi 1 milyoncudanm1 ald1n brother ;))

It's cute but not terribly useful if you have a lot of books. All the hard work will be covered up

[buvra]

I tested it with pretty acceptable weight.Working okey..I'll try to add wall-mounted photos soonly.(with books)
Thanks for the critic.

[tellner]

I'm sure it can handle the weight. It just seems a shame to go to all that work when it will be completely covered up with books. At least at my house where they're three deep on all the shelves.

These are some real bookworm's shelves:

I showed them to a real bookworm once and he was very excited!

Then I made some more:

Not nearly as fancy as in this article but like you I think it'd be a shame to cover those others up with books.

[tellner]

Very nice. And very sturdy-looking. Currently looking at making some Gustav Stickley built-in bookcases when we have the money.

[pfred2]

Thanks. These are Goesas Faras shelves. As in Goes as far as I could get with a sheet of plywood. Honestly the most expensive part of the project was finishing supplies, stain, poly etc. I had the movable shelves lying around.

The made some more was made with scrap lumber. I need to take a picture of my Stickley inspired little shelf unit I made out of salvaged pallet wood and post it. It was essentially free.

My latest scavenger hunt I'm slapping together:

It should look OK once I get that piece of hardboard on top of it all. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't let lack of funds dictate what you can and can't do.

[poofrabbit]

This is great! Well done on the win!!!!

[buvra]

thxx a lot . i am very excited and happy :)
