Swinging Bookcases - Creating a wall for a hidden room

Project: Built a wall of Bookshelves that conceal a room
Wood Type: Knotty Alder
Comments: It seems that building bookcases that pivot is always a challenge due to the inherent stresses on the cabinet from being mounted on one corner only ... This installation had addition challenges because they were a double door design. The bookcases were very heavy, but were able to open with only one finger.
