Our latest furniture guide covers a bookshelf, elegant vase, chair, and side table.
Unlike most of our book shelves this one has just a single shelf. 1×2 brackets are used at the very bottom.
And then a series of 1×2 plates (or jumper plates) and tiles are used for the books themselves.
The 1×2 brackets give a slight lip in front of the books which helps hold them in place. 1×1 round plates and round bricks work well for the side posts.
Next jumper plates are added to the front of the brackets, and on top of the 1×4 plate.
Add whatever little knick-knacks you like to the top of the shelf.
Second is the nifty vase design John came up with. Combining the 2×2 cone with a 2×2 inverted dome gives a very nice shape.
And the inkwell elements makes it easy to attach the model to a studs up floor.
This chair design incorporates cowhorns to make the back of the seat.
The fourth and final design uses 2×2 brackets with 2×2 tiles to make the thin walls of the side table.
A 1×2 brick with 1×2 jumper connect the brackets and will allow a 2×3 plate to go on top. I chose to put some bottles in the bottom shelf area.
With the 2×3 plate in place add whatever finishing touches fit the scene.
Enjoy using these designs, and if you’re looking for more furniture techniques check out our previous furniture tutorials.
