Had a slight problem in the sofa-bed build. My home built sliders didn't work out so I've ordered heavy duty drawer slides from a company called Schock Metal America. It's set backs like this why I haven't started a full write up on the sofa-bed build yet.
In the mean time here's a picture of the electric actuator installed.
And a full size mock up of the lifting mechanism for the sofa-bed back I just tested. All the measurements and clearances worked out perfect.
I have lost count of all the different versions of this mechanism I've dreamt up so far. Since this one literally came to me in a dream maybe it'll be the best.
Now to built it out of metal.
Because of the delay I gave my workforce the night off. Not exactly party animals.
