Using a CNC machine and using the attached file, cut out the needed pieces for the book ends. The measurements in the attached file are already enough to hold large books and magazines!

See the attached labels for your reference.

After cutting, glue together the wood pieces. Glue the slots at the far left and right ends of the base. Glue the barrier at the front end of the base, directly between the two slots. Glue the wall to the open side of the base. See the attached pictures.

Repeat the process for the second book end. Leave the set-ups to dry for at least 1 hour.

If you prefer your book end to have a colored finish, feel free to apply varnish on the glued wood.

Using a laser cutter and the attached file, cut the acrylic sheet.

Stick the rectangular part of each half of the sword into the rectangular slot in the square. Using a glue gun or super glue, attach the square acrylic to the book end's hollow slot.

Slot the rectangular covers into the wooden slots in the bookend.
