Does anyone have experience building a overhead wall- or ceiling mounted projector shelf?
Any opinions would be helpful. I don't have the floor space to use it lower, and I'd rather it not stick out too much.

This..this is exactly what I'm looking to build! You use all wood? and how did you go about mounting it to the wall?

It's all wood.
I mounted it to the wall with two 2.5" Zinc(Gold) screws into the top support into wall studs. If you look closely, you can see an imperfection in the paint on the right of the pic from the front, thats due to a screw + spakle.

Why build a shelf?
I know it's not very DIY but I just used something like this.
My original plan was to actually build a hush box for the projector that would completely enclose it, and then force air in and out of the box from an adjacent room. Then I realized I could just used an expensive mount and decided to go that route since we weren't planning on staying in the house too long.
