Compact Jagged T Bookshelf

My name is Max Van Beek and me and y partner, Ayden Van Kuiken, who is also from Illiana Christian High School made this 58" tall bookshelf with a unique design and a shelf at the bottom for extra storage . This is a great stylish accessory to any office, classroom, or living room that is very function-able and artistic. Me and my friend designed and built this at our high school campus at Illiana Christian High School. Our computer integrated design class entered this competition to design and create a creative and useful bookshelf, so my partner and I designed this. We didn't really know how to make a creative bookshelf and have never done a woodworking project like this and we enjoyed the journey of designing and making the bookshelf. We learned new techniques in woodworking and we both really enjoyed the process, even though there were plenty of mistakes that we made and had to fix. We hope you enjoy our bookshelf.
