I was lucky in that my basement is in an "L" shape. This room is set around the corner from the rest of the basement. (Thus why my wife let me have it.) The room is 16 x 10, shave off 4" on each side due to the panels. With the ceiling panels taken down, the room is 8" high.

I decided to go with the AutoSlide Door slider. It came out really well I think.

That's how it started with me as well. I had a vision, then kept refining it in my 3d software (blender). My main thought was, "Is this something that I can make in my garage with little effort?".

Thanks for a nod toward Servo City. I have a very good idea of how to get the door moving! They have some good videos on YouTube too. As I am new to the world of servos, actuators, motors, etc. It's nice to see some of the stuff in action. This has only spawned a world of new ideas!

Thanks for all the kind words!! The final step in completing this room is to make the pocket door motorized. And I have no idea how to pull this off. Lol

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting so be nice! I started on my mancave build about 2 months ago. My only chance to work on it was after work and on the weekends. I used 1/2. MDF board and 1/4 hardboard for the panels. There are plenty, behind-the-scenes pictures on my website\blog too...
