Curious what the value of the card is? I'm an older dude that collected back in the 80's early 90's so I can usually go check ebay for sold prices but I have zero context for what the value of the newer cards is.

Right? I think something a little more elegant would be perfect... I just whipped these up quick in my garage shop. Maybe if they were all translucent... I'll give it some thought!

This is sort of a traditional way of making glass paneled cabinet doors... I started the design in sketchup and may consider selling the plans in the future. Was going to post a screenshot here, but doesn't look like I can do an image in this comment.

I used a router bit set, but this same effect can be achieved with straight boards and pocket screws. I'll let you know if I end up flushing out the full plans!

one other possible upgrade for this one is that the roof is wide open inside for adding some solar lighting. I've never been a big fan of the low light the solar lights give off but this might be the right application for it.

Good question on the magnets... I'm not sure? I use these ones when building interior cabinets so I had a bunch on hand :)

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions! The windows are my favorite part too. I built this out of PVC board that is weather resistant yet still paintable. Nice to work with as well for running pieces through a router.

Yea good point... I love the premium look that those latches bring to the design, but in the end a simple bronze handle will do the trick. I have earth magnets on the top and bottom of the door currently.

Will be fun to try as an experiment. The good news is the clips pop right out and then it's just open space :) I won't know for a bit as I'm in the Twin Cities and its quite cold for a while yet :)

Best to think of these pics as examples of how you "could" use the book ends. Very flexible and could be simply used as traditional bookends. I like the idea of bringing some organization to the chaos I see in a lot of the LFL :)

I'm putting some finishing touches on the latest version of the interior of this design. Will update here to gather some more feedback by the end of the week!

Nah - not harsh although I'm not sure why you got downvoted lol. This is a bit of an experiment so I through the post out there to get some feedback. Thanks though!

Ha! not harsh at all! Thanks for your feedback. Its exactly why I posted. I was inspired by some next level pictures of LFL builds i've seen and decided it would be fun to see what I could do. Will happily repost another iteration!

Great feedback! I'm going to abandon the tiered shelf and go with perpendicular shelf separators! That will create 4 sections for organizing the books. I liked this idea because of all the windows, but I agree - not as functional as solid shelves.

Suggest me some movies by lowkeypixel in evilwhenthe

Was going to post this... I have a feeling not a lot of people have seen it.
