Just like you asked for.

I'm just imagining pushing the carving and the TV popping up, then pushing it again and it putting itself away.........and none of you buggers believing me! Seriously, I manage to take the occasional video by accident, so I'm sure I could manage to take one on purpose. What then?

If you use separate limit and reversing switches, you have to take care they both get triggered - so it doesnt hit the reverse switch first and sit bobbing up and down, or hit the limit switch and stop before hitting the reverse, so get stuck.
