Very busy weekend but progress has been made!
First here are some pics of the second actuator.
No this isn't the original actuator this is the 2nd and improved version.
This gear setup works more smoothly than the original one I made!
I most likley will change it to this gear setup.
Here are three short videos so you can see the differance.

The above video was kinda too dark this one is better.

Now on to the door tracks:
These were not easy to fabricate! After many failed attempts I let my son take over on these and he did a good job!
As you see the door track "J" is drawn out on the styrene.
Here are the two door track "J's" cut out.
We used a mitre box to hold the "J" to make gluing the sides easier.
One down one to go!
A closer look at the first track assembly.
The two finished tracks
Next weekend we start to fabricate the doors and install the door tracks so stay tuned I can't wait to see what happens!
