Good to go.

Your garage is too clean.

We had a rule. Only the legs of shelves and tires actually on the car at the time were allowed to touch garage floor.

It did not last, well 3 years maybe.

Yes I made that. Was supposed to be a prototype in 2007. Still using it though it weighs a ton made out of the high density plywood.
I'll add a few more pictures.

Nice, what does it take to keep that slider sliding freely?

I bonded on some white laminate visible on the sides in the photos and loose enough tolerances so it wont bind.

That’s very cool.

I’m planning something similar now. I’m a terrible carpenter though with detail stuff so it’s going to have to be metal. Thanks for the inspiration.

80/20 would be perfect.

Please share your project. I can use some ideas to refine this. I started by wanting a slide out drawer glide but to get one 6 foot long was way too much money.

For the record, it fits just fine in back of rented Nissan Armada. Safe and out of elements.
