Hi John,
I plan to put handles on my lift-outs as well. My question is if there is no one around where will you put it when you lift it out? Will it have structures on it or be part of the land form? Enlighten me.

The plan is to simply rotate it 45 degrees, turn it somewhat vertical, and lower it through the hole and set it aside. There won't be any track on it, and any scenery will be firmly attached and low profile.

Bravo, John and Tom!!!! The bench work is beautiful!
Thanks, it's certainly taking shape. Seeing the fascia the way it's intended to look really makes a difference!

Well, I could move chairs in and make it a giant dining table, but I think I'll go the original planned direction.
