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!

    Love those shelves. Much more interesting than the 'normal' type of shelving. Good job!

    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
