Tetris Style Shelves & A Bit Of Self Promotion!

I had a really fun project to make last week so I thought I'd do a bit of shameless self promotion and post it on here to show you guys as well.
 It's a shelving unit/display stand for a customer that's made up of tetris shaped pieces that's completely interchangeable - so if you get bored of the layout you can just change it all about!


Quite a labour intensive project but surprisingly cheap on materials for the size of it.
I do enjoy the different challenges that being a carpenter brings and this has to be one of my favourite projects I've done so far.
If you want to read more about it and see a few more pictures check out my other blog!

    Its fantastic, so versatile and much better made than any flat pack alternative :)

      I was thinking of selling it just as a few sheets of ply and writting on it "some assembly required!"

    That's a brilliant ideal for interesting book shelves.

    If you get the bottom layer filled up, does it disappear? That could be bloody annoying!

    That's amazing, as this homes Tetris Queen, I would be permanently wanting to shift the pieces around :-)

      My wife downloaded it as I wanted to see if it was still fun to play. For me it wasn't! I got so frustrated! think I'm better off building them
