Jerry : Thank you very much for sharing. Yours was one of the layouts I'd found in an older thread when I was just starting to kick around this idea. Those look like the brackets I've bought - I got not only 6x6 but also 8x8 & 10x10 to use in the corners. planning on using the longest length possible mounted into each stud. Not sure I have the stones to under-mount the shelf to the brackets, though it's tempting for aesthetic reasons. I'm trying to avoid having much underneath the shelf. What kind of screws did you use? Everything shelf-wise is going to be painted the dark grey seen earlier in the thread.
Using FlexxBed under the track to help with noise. I chose ScaleTrax for the solid rail to help with this too. The track pictured is only there temporarily for measurements before the final cut. I'll jigsaw the final edge, then use the one 4x8 sheet as a stencil for the other. I'll definitely toke your advise & get the worst of the track laying & wiring done before mounting the shelves.
Also, I think I'll just use molding on the inner edge rather than trying to use the router. That should mask small variations in curve from the jigsaw. Also an excuse to use the nail gun I got for Christmas last year. (Would be good practice for the crown molding at home that I promised the wife....) Could then fill any gaps, sand, & paint. Assuming I can get the molding to bend to a 6.5' diameter, at least. If I do mount the shelving underneath the brackets I could also use some to mask the gap between the wall & shelf.
Well, I should probably get to bed. Thanks again for all the advice, photos, etc. I'll keep you guys posted.
