Nice, Automatic roller blinds were used by Kate Winslett in The Holiday (2006). Looked really nice. The same mechanism might do nicely for projector screens. Will be interested to see how it goes.<br><br>Richard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Thanks Richard and others who offered. I've got one lined up now.<br>
<br>
As to what I'm up to, one of the comments the other night got me
thinking about my long stalled automatic bedroom roller blind
project. If I use gravity to lower the blind, I just need to add a
mechanism to lift it. This is a much simpler prospect involving a
spool, some wire and a motor.<br>

I have a Myford ML7 at Diamond Harbour that you are welcome to

I'm no expert so you are probably better off with Kays offer. My
phone number is 3375337 if interested. Are you making something
interesting? My last cuts were a taper on a marlin spike to help
splice some 20mm rope. Cutting on the lathe was much quicker and
better controlled than the freehand bench grinder.<br>
