  1. Hi folks! I used to have a coffee-table layout, but it turned out not to be compatible with our new dog......so now I'm planning to make a bigger layout suspended in the ceiling in our living room. The new layout is to be a torsion-box approximately 1x2 m which make it much larger than the coffee-table layout I used to have. Its to be hoisted up under the ceiling when not in use. Our living room has a standard heigth of 2.4m, but fortunately a part of it higher, so when hoisted up, the underside of the layout should be on level with the rest of the ceiling. This project has some challenges: I'm planning to use wooden panel at the underside of the torsion-box as this side will be a part of the ceiling when not in use. Is this ok, or is it better to use a sheet of plywood instead? Im also planning not to glue the top sheet of the box to the frame below. Instead I will use hinges so it can be possible to lift the top for wiring etc. Will the torsion box be stiff enough without gluing the top? The main challenge is the hoist system. As this is the living room it is mandatory to have a high WAF for this project. How to make a reliable, good looking hoist system that is concealed when not in use? All comments and advises are most appreciated!
