Gaming Medi Shelf

Gaming shelf made from walnut, accented with holly in the segmented ring.

For this project, my client was passionate about video games and cosplay. They envisioned a unique media shelf blending artistic creativity with functionality to showcase their figurines and cherished memorabilia collection. I designed this bookshelf with varying shelf sizes and cubbies so that they could display their figurines in the different areas as if they were hiding, ready to pop out for battle.  The segmented ring was designed to emulate the Super Mario Brother Smash Trophy.

If you want to see how it all came together, here is a video of it.



Thanks for watching

Thanks, @pottz I've had some large unexciting projects this year, so my content is light, but I hope to post some new stuff going into the winter, as well as add some of my past projects here.
Nicely done!

Unique and wonderful project.  Well done.

Excellent project with great detail work.

Video was great - when the clamp fell I felt like I'm not alone in "situations" that come along during the building process (often when looking at projects like this I imagine total smooth sailing through all steps 😉).

Again, great project.  
Unique and wonderful design work as always. Little things, like the legs to lift above the trim so it will sit flush to the wall are your trademark. 👍
A lot of well thought out solutions to complex problems.
Very nice.
Brian,

Wonderful design, sure the. clients love it.  One heck of a glue up.
