This is my latest contraption. I built it using Aspen boards, and lined it with contact paper. I'll eventually stain the outside, but since I didn't have any handy, it got installed bare.
The mechanism is extremely simple; two 8" bars for the front, and two 4" bars for the back. I added some springs to make it glide to a stop more gently when opening it. I tried to find some push-button latches, but had to settle for a flip catch.
From the remnants and a piece of dowel, I also built the two spice racks you can see below it. Total cost of assembly was about $15. I can create a how-to if anyone is interested; just ask.

A small spudger tool of foreign make came with some basic instructions on a single sheet of paper. To make the instructions accessible to more people, I have turned the instructions into a cozy, fireside chat. Pour yourself some hot chocolate, pull up a chair, and lets talk about inserting Excalibur into a CPU for some apple decomposition.

I recently switched from Lead-Acid to Lithium batteries for my solar array's storage bank. With winter coming on, I built an insulated box to keep the batteries warm in an unheated building. The box is warmed with a thermostat-controlled incandescent bulb.
