Library Ladder
Like this general idea...wondering if this is one of the ways we could support the ladder? In this example, it would be cool if there was any way to build the rail so that it was about 1-2" higher, so that it could double as a block to prevent books from falling. Then you could create a faux bar on the top shelf to match (to also keep books from falling).
This seems like a similar project to ours...shelves and a ladder that were maybe an after-thought (done after original build). We would like to have a small "lip" at the edge, so that the books don't accidentally fall. If not just a 1" x 1" piece of wood, maybe a metal rod that matches the metal hardware for the rail and ladder.
Cool ladder and hardware.
