if you use the door a lot, the wheel might mark the floor and give someone a clue to the true nature of your shelf. Also, you could add a hanging weight to the latch to make it close instead of having a stiff wire push the latch closed. This would also make the book return to it's resting position automatically.

So take your time and make sure you don't make any mistakes that you CAN'T fix. So you bought more wood than you needed? You cut some of the panels the wrong size? You forgot to buy all of the brads, and tacks? Take your time and figure it out before you start it at all. Then go step by step until it's complete.

I’ve no plans to do this but it was still an absolute joy to watch. And respect for showing the mistakes and how to fix them. I’ve been thinking of installing a sliding door in the room I hang out in. But since the room is smallish, a sliding door next to my favourite seat wouldn’t feel cosy. So I have been thinking of hanging a bookcase in place of a door. I intend to put large wheels on it like you did, but I’ve no idea how to hang it. I know you can get those barn door fixtures. But they’re not exactly discreet. Since the bookcase is full door height, it would be easier if it could slide to one side for ‘opening the door’ so to speak as opposed to opening and closing it the usual way so things don’t fall off. The other reason is it would open close to the kitchen door and just feel claustrophobic and dysfunctional. For that reason I prefer it stays in the room as just glides to the side. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. PS. The bookcase wouldn’t be flush with the wall. But would look like how you normally put it against a wall.

I'm 12 and my dad said I was too young to make this. I was determined to prove him wrong. I headed to home-depot, my goal was at least get wood. I grabbed one slab of wood from the shelf and it hit me straight in the face I get up and grab it again and I ended up tripping over it. After finally taming the wood I carry it to check out and I placed it on the counter and the woman there asked for ID. At this point I said "Screw it, I'm building Legos."
