Very nice. Only one thing I would change. Because it comes down right against the wall, you cannot have anything behind it on the wall, forcing the wall to be empty at all times. I would suggest pulling the unit away from the wall (with some sort of stopper when it is pulled down, of course) so that you can have space to store additional items on the wall.

No need a stopper... put the hinge in line with the shelf's front. (You can keep very rately used tools in lost place between the hinges and wall-above the shelf unit). My 2 cents...

Yes I agree. If you have a cabinet or workbench along a wall you could build this to fold down in front of those cabinets when needed. As for dealing with the weight and to make it even easier you could put a pully and cable to close them. Even use a small electric wench and then you could just mount a up and down on the wall. I have a single car shop and space is tight. I would like to do this in my walk in closet too.

WRT the dowel rod inside of PVC pipe, next time, score the dowel rod with grooves that either run down the length of the rod or in a spiral pattern. As you watch your video of assembly, when you are pressing the dowel rods into the tubes, you see the MAJORITY of the glue being wiped out of the joint. The grooves hold the reserve of the glue inside the joint while the glue cures. This IS the reason why premade dowel pins have those grooves in them. Lots of experience went into that simple modification, best to copy it.

We have a very open floor plan, which limits storage in our kitchen. We do not like upper cabinets, which limits us further. We've discussed using this concept to build extra kitchen storage (food, kitchen gadgets, bowls, etc.) giving us the openness we like while regaining the storage lost. I've given some thought to the weight issue and am kicking around the idea of a pully/cable/spring concept instead of a piston. All of the mechanical stuff would be concealed by the side boards. Interested to hear you thoughts on that idea.

One if the most ingenious ideas I have seen on youtube for a long while. There is just one thing I might have done differently and that is to set the hinge point further out from the wall so that the shelves don't drop down against the wall. If this was done you could still put shelves up on the wall and your roof shelves could still drop down in front of them. However, I am still very impressed with what you have done, what an awesome solution for a small workshop.

Coming from the floor or the roof is either way not very efficient for tiny homes. You save space when it’s open/close but you also need a clear space in order to open and to close the whole thing.

Tip for this: Place your heavier items on the upper shelf as the hinge itself will carry the predominant portion of the weight making it easier for you to open and close. Granted this means that you have to lift the heavy items to the high shelf, but you won't have to again lift them every time you open and close it.

It needs clearance at the back, but the weight of the shelf should cause it to hang straight.

💥INGENIOUS!!! You are so Clever! I don't know if you are Aussie or what but, you HAVE to sell your design in America! Not everyone is handy or can afford ALL the tools needed. A woman would LOVE this too!!!!! Omg! I want one for the kitchen, storage, closet...!!

Yes, please listen to your brother on that modified option. I'm in desperate need of help. I'm very handy but I'd like it to look as polished as yours is. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep it up!

My man is basically safety master! Love the video and LOVE that you build stuff like this AND do it safe. Nice to see it on KZbin. Subbed.

This is legitimately one of the coolest things I've seen someone build in a while - and it's just a shelf! Very nice!

That is awesome. I would say it has lots of applications. Like tiny houses and the like. Small space living. Great work.

I saw this idea employed in an episode of Tiny House Nation. To accommodate clothing storage in a sleeping loft, they built a thicker loft floor and storage units similar to the ones you build in this video. The units opened downward to the laundry area, so it was easy to stow clean folded clothes right out of the dryer. Hinged access doors in the floor of the loft provided access to clean clothes. When I saw the episode, I immediately recalled having watched this video. Well Done!

Nice work. With a table saw like you can build anything. Not having a table saw makes it a lot harder. That’s the only problem with a lot these projects. There built with all the right tools. Thanks for sharing
