I really like that idea pekkanf and think thats probably the way I will go. as for the up?down hill climb I am going to use a mechanical method so it should be solid enough to cope, soon all will become clear. Today I started by taking a car cam belt idler and removing the outer bit and remaking it so it fitted into the center of a flywheel this will have the variable mechanism to move the table left and right. Then I made the shaft to drive it and started the housing for this, the picture for this i will post tomorrow. |

Well did most of the housing today just need to clean it up for the sake of looks (not that it will be seen now i think about it, it will be covered by a guard). Only had a small amount of stock so the bearings are not totally enclosed but this will not matter the housing is merely holding them straight they will be held in place by the shaft itself. |

Progress has been slowed due to working on getting a vw campervan to mot standard but I have been working on getting the left to right mechanism going and so far have done the top pivot and bottom slide. The bar I currently have connecting them is a bit of extruded aluminium which may not be man enough and need changing but I will see. |

It is still ongoing but at a slower rate as other things must take priority while the weathers good :bang:. I did however mock up the drive for the left to right motion and decided it wasnt geared down enough so I am working on putting another level to further slow it down. Havent taken any pics as its not finished yet but maybe before the weekend is over. |
