Mug Shelf
This is a mug shelf I made as a gift for a family member. She wanted with a slim profile that didn't need to be wall mounted. The tapered bottom keeps it stable, though she ended up securing it at the top to prevent somebody from accidentally tipping it. The side-to-side length of the shelves can be adjusted, as can the thickness of material; I did 15" length, and used 1/2" Baltic Birch for all the parts, which gave total dimensions of 16"W x 7"D x 25"H

Tools
Shaper Origin
Vertical Workstation/setup
Instructions
Cut the sides to their overall dimensions (8" x 26") first and use a grid aligned to a bottom corner of your workpiece. Import the SVG and anchor the bottom rear corner, and place on the origin of your grid. Cut the mortice/slots first, then cut out the shape; you should only need to cut the front tapered edge and the top. For the shelves, I found the best results were achieved when I cut away most of the waste on the table saw first (third pic, not the best pic), then used 1 or 2 passes with Shaper to get to the final fit, but you can do whatever tenoning method works best for you with Origin and/or other tools. Since it's a thru-tenon, you can swap left and right sides, but the sides are mirror images of each other so do a dry fit and mark all sides before final glue-up.
