Heels Over Head

I know that my video game posts are not that exciting, but I hope this one will be more interesting. I have found a new summer project and I am very excited about drawing out the plans.

I got the idea for making Tetris shelves from an article in Wired magazine that depicted a narrow wall in an office, littered with different colored post-it notes that were arranged in a Tetris-like formations. Pieced together, the wall resembled an hour long attempt to form a five-live masterpiece.

Anyway, I got the idea to make Tetris piece shelves and though I was the only one until I did some research online. Someone already did it. I am not disappointed though. I will make mine the with and height of video game boxes and have my perfect square pieces have edge grabbers that will keep the game boxes from falling.

What I want to do, that I haven't seen in other designs, is to make each piece separate. This will allow me to change up the formation of the pieces if I get a new TV, or if I move into a new space. I am also excited because If I need more space, I can always just make a new piece.

The project will be time consuming not to mention cost a decent amount of money, but I am excited already. Maybe it will motivate me to finish some of my other woodworking projects, like the sign for my dad's office that I started almost four years ago.
