Are you looking for sketchy overhead storage you can roll up? Look no further (and don't stand under them)! (lemmy.world)

Made from a garage door cable drum, garage door cable, brearing pillow blocks, 1" 0.120 wall tube, 9/16 shafting, and an amazon special awning roller. Its not sketchy at all, nope. Seriously though, don't stand under it.

Looks great 😎 Perhaps you can add a safety pin in case the cable breaks?

    Thanks! The cable is supposedly rated to 350lbs BUT the worm drive awning box is rated to ??!¿Lbs. It held me + the shelf load and my tools as a "proof load". I am looking into adding a spring loaded latch of some kind so it hooks in automatically but I don't have that 100% figured out yet.
