I have seen shop idea/plans for vertical pegboard or vertical shelving that slides in/out of a case like a book on a book shelf. I recall one that had the individual vertical boards/shelves suspended by hardware that looked a lot like traditional barn door hardware.
Can anyone remember seeing this or know where to point me?
I have made my benches quite deep in some places and have the space for the shelves to go even deeper but they would not be within reach. It would be nice to utilize this space by having vertical tool boards that used the ceiling/second level floor joists as the support for such barn door hardware and be able to pull out these boards when something needed retrieving. The down side to this is the the bench has to be clear where it travels out but as it stands it is a stretch if I were just to put up pegboard or cabinets. It would be nice to have a handle or a some way to pull the entire shelf out and just depend on the support from the ceiling joists, independent of any guides or support from the bottom. There is the issue of sway or stability but I am drawing this out as well as figuring out the bearing brackets/bearings that will run on the track. I think I am reinventing the wheel because I know I have seen this done before on a number of occasions in those shop idea books.
