Thats nice! Cindy and I was talking about this today.
Just need a blue tarp under it to give the glass that blue water look

Thanks guys! The whole thing is made out of scraps and off-cuts I'd been hording at work. It helps to work in a carpentry shop. Any one can make this.....It really is a box turned up on end with some shelves nailed in.
I did luck out with the glass shelves. They came from some display cases in our gift shop that were being discarded. I ask for them and was told to take all I wanted, they were headed for the land fill. The only plan I had was to use the glass shelves and their size determined the size of the "box". After that I made it up as I went along.
So if you have a circular saw and a router and some spare time, and some scrap 3/4" plywood and scrap 1x pine your all set. I knocked this together in about 3 hours. The staining and poly clear coats took about 10 hours including dry time.
It's not at all fancy, but it does photograph well! Now I need about 4 more of them to get the rest of my books and stash outta the garage and cellar.

Looks good and practical .
