Introduction
I’m willing to bet that a TV is the focal point in at least one room in your home. That’s great for movie nights and sporting events, but when you’re focusing on friends or family, you’d like the TV to disappear. I developed a system that lets you hide your TV with artwork!Figure A: Shelves

This double sliding door belt system is slick: When you slide one door, the other slides, too. To make it happen, all you need are a belt and pulleys (about $20). Even better, I added a motor and remote control ($50).
It took a lot of experimenting, but now that I’ve figured out a system, you can replicate it in an hour or two. The automation is optional. You can keep it simple and slide the doors by hand.
