(a-hem...DH says "patent pending" LOL )

Starting a new thread, this will have a lot of pics. Hope that's ok. Hopefully for those capable of building it, the dimensions and pics will be adequate. There are a few that are blurry. Sorry.

I'll start with the "trucks" that the quilt and the Flynn frame ride around on.


Starting with moving parts...the truck that rides the large rails, and move the quilt and it’s frame from side to side.

Two, one per side. Requires:
-9/16” aluminum, 4 pieces at 29” (or whatever you decide the width of your overall frame will be)(this was left over from the aluminum railings on our outdoor steps)
-1” aluminum, 4 pieces at 7 1/2”, notched out 1 1/2” for wheels
-16 brass wheels (includes the 8 needed for the second trucks), 1 3/8” diameter, 5/8” thick, center bored out for a 5/8” bearing
-16 5/8” bearings
