    There are no unique ideas in this world are there? Thanks for the link. Looks like these fellows doubled up on smaller casters and hinged it with a fixed hinge rather than a "floater" like we talked about earlier today. Same basic concept though - sort of gives me confidence that I am not building some suicide machine anyway.

    Thanks !

    Thanks, Ray! See, glenn, if you're patient enough someone always comes along to bail you out!

    One additional tip for this plywood storage, pick up some UHMW to put in the bottom to allow the boards to slide more easily. You may also wish for something to put on the corner of the board you are pulling out so it doesn't rub/get damages when yanking it out. This will be the corner that is heading for the floor.

    I just have a free standing rack in the same place. It works very well. With the hinges make sure you build them heavy duty.

    For best results, try not to do anything stupid.
