Overcomplicating things

[Hytro]

I really have a tendency to overcomplicating things, and this time with lovely redstone.
I wanted this gate

To have this fence pop up (that is not hard, I know) but I did not want the pistons to be seen, so I needed to pull the block under the fence along with it.

So I spent a week trying to get back into my redstoning, and in the end I got help from Tehbeard to make it work completely.
So here is how this madness ended up.

And after I then got this installed into my fort entrance, I kinda realized I could maybe ha used a [Gate] sign... and yes, that worked perfectly... a bit less redstone and more fence...

Beard didn't say anything when you asked such things?

[Hytro]

Well, I never asked him that way, I looked at what I was doing and helped out from that, as you can see from the picture with all the redstone, no way to really see that it is for a gate.

To be fair, the craftbook one doesn't move like the piston one...

This is kind of overly complicated for me to understand, anyways...
