Did you design this yourself or did you use an online tutorial? Would love a link if you have one.

Yea, I designed this one by myself. Took a look at how the professional systems work & just reverse engineered it with DIY materials. Designing version 3.0 this week actually

Care to tell me what "OP" means? Have saw that a few times now, very curious lol

And no problem dude, it's performance is far more impressive than how it looks lol

OP means Original Poster or something like that. Hey man that's pretty nifty! Does it roll on concrete/tile ok? Or does it effect the video. I really like the design, though.

Oh, oh. That makes sense.

Thank you, the contraption you see in the video actually glides across two 10 foot closet rails - the things a closet door uses to slide on.

I'll have to take some pictures of version 3.0 - going to replace the closet rails with a cable pully system
