Re: Portal Book Ends
Very nice! And there are some good books there, too.
Too bad I don't need bookends. My bookcases were filled to the brim, double-stacked, and I still had some books in boxes. (Well, they're all in boxes now, because I haven't had a chance to put the bookcases up after we moved.)

Re: Portal Book Ends
Very cool idea!
No longer have a Shapeoko, but use a machine of my own design...

Re: Portal Book Ends
this is really super cool. With that acryllic, couldn't you add LEDs to the base and even make them light up?
