I used a heavy duty machine bearing flange to have it pivot on, with a 1" pipe in the ceiling on the same axis.

The right side has a heavy duty caster wheel.



This part is ingenious. Very excellent.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Well done. I had a secret door i built several years back for fun. I lost the books and went with DVD's due to the weight. That bearing is sweet!

I'd be concerned about the caster marring the floor over time. Maybe it'll be fine. Looks great right now regardless. Nice work!

I've had good luck with these over the years.
