I think having a bed that can ‘disappear’ when not needed is absolutely vital when space is at a premium

I wish you had a full build video! Would have loved to see it from start to finish!

This is the best DIY explanation of building an elavador bed

May be the best lift I've seen. Also, the most elaborate Nutella commercial

Some final destination vibes about that bed rising when I'm asleep and squishing me but it's awesome

Great build! My favorite part of the video is when you magically appear just after the 2:00 mark. 😉

May I ask how you learned all of this, did you study electrical engineering? For such a young man, you are not only knowledgeable, but extremely articulate as well. My hats off to you, well done.

@1966cambo 3 years ago

One thing I have noticed about my viewing of content is I often learn from a persons build(good or bad) and just move on, that I am going to work on changing because I recognize the effort people put into sharing their build and I want to say thanks!!

I've literally been dreaming about something like this
. Is crazy for real cuz I found this video with just one search. Thanks for the video super clean build 😁🎉

Love it mate, thanks very much for this! So good to see, so often explanations are either over complicated or not in depth enough, I thought this was perfect! Looks great too - loving the content

@chrisonYTtour 3 years ago

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge mate… really love the almost invisible integrated look you achieved 👍

@alexfarrer2365 3 years ago

Just found your channel. Love it. Binge watching and your photography is out of this world.

Well Done!! This is the exact engineering mechanism I had in mine for my lift, but didn't think I would ever come across someone who did it THIS way w/ Track Actuators (instead of Linear Actuators). Thank You for sharing this.
