I have a couple of pics floating around. Thought I would consolidate. Hope it helps someone. Many ideas have been borrowed from AVS members. Thanks for sharing.
Shelf is 25x25" 1/4" aluminum plate as is the 7.5x4" slide tray. Free
Linear bearings courtesy of eBay (and China!) Around 65$...could have saved some money by buying shorter rails...ended up cutting them down quite a bit. Final length about 16.5"
Hammered tone spray paint
I drilled and tapped for a few 1/4" 20 bolts to secure lens bracket to tray. I elongated mounting holes on said bracket to make it adjustable.
The final result ended up with the 480 too high, so I painted up 4 non skid sanding "buns" to act as risers
The shelves are heavy duty (800lbs/pair) and have a built in lock...they attach to slotted standards.
The recess you see was to gain the furthest throw distance possible..approx 13'7" and is drywall on poured concrete. As a result...the standards are kitterally rick solid.
I used small angle brackets which secured the aluminum plate to the standard and therefore tied the PJ shelf to my concrete basement foundation wall. You would not want to hit your head on the corner if the shelf...doing so would require stitches, yet not shake the projected image one ioda.
Recessing it also moves the PJ out of the back row isle as much as possible and minimizes chance of head vs immovable object.
I will edit this later with some links and check my grammer...cell phones suck for editing!
