I have started a home cinema build thread but I have decided I would like to put in a projector lift. I fancy doing this DIY from scratch.
I need to do some beam work to make it for but that should only take a day.
My ceiling void is 175mm and I need a 300 drop so it will have to be a scissor lift. I would like it to be automated; I have had a cunning idea to achieve flexibility of adjustment - I could use a motor from an electric screen as you can set the top and bottom rise and drop settings very easily. I think I will need to come up with either a wire on a spindle system or a screw thread turn system.
Any advice welcome!
