"It's not actually iron, it's a gold-titanium alloy" as the movie said.

Oh yeah, and the violin also only has two strings.

Yeah, the I saw that violin for sale for £6 and I just couldn't resist. Probably why it's in such bad shape.... And for those of you interested in joints and such; when two of the boards meet to form an "L" shape, I used biscuit joints and when two boards meet to form a "T" shape, I used dowel joints. I can also strongly recommend staying as far away from dowel joints as possible; they're inaccurate (even with a jig) and difficult to drill without going completely through the wood. To give the shelves a bit more "grip" for smooth objects like DVD and CD case I mixed a tiny amount of sawdust into the final coat of varnish on the shelves that face upwards, so it's ever so slightly gritted. It was also my initial plan to have it so that the shapes could be rearranged but I quickly decided against it when I realised how much wood I would need, as the wood essentially "doubles up" when the blocks are stacked. Accuracy would've also been far more important. General specs are: 1320mm high, 880mm wide, 200mm deep Boards are 18mm thick. There is no exact shelf height or width (although as someone guessed correctly, the height is supposed to be about a centimetre higher than a VHS/DVD case, which is about 20cm), because I had to make it vary for it all to fit together but if anyone is interested in recreating this, tell me and i'll email you the specs, working drawings, component list, 3D design, even a production diary if you want it. I'll probably post some of the working drawings here too.

Storminator, do you actually realise that it's not assembled or even jointed in the bottom picture? That was just the only picture I had of it unpainted. And considering the wood I used was only 18mm thick, I think that a housing joint (or a "dado", as you called) would make the wood too thin on one side. I used biscuit joints and dowel joints which I think are some of the strongest you can use, so trust me, the whole thing is pretty damn stable. If you like, I'll post a picture of it filled with books, DVDs, CDs, etc. Would that satisfy you?

I've been there! parasitegod is right though, they aren't prepared. When I went to Beijing with some friends the people there didn't even seem to have seen blonde people before.
