wandering snail

Hi. Here it is being constructed. There's a welded metal frame, pic5 shows the fixed part, pic6 shows other part which is hinged to the fixed bit and rests on top of a built in storage area on the opposite side, pic77 shows slats and specially made two piece mattress, pic81 shows it in the wall, green is the metal frame and pic86 finished result with painted panels. The mechanism is a simple rope pulley block attached to the top centre. It is a very comfy king size bed with lots of storage underneath but is quite heavy!
