  • Hey fellow UA-camrs!
    Want the same can opener I show in this video? Then check out my Amazon Store. There you'll find the clean cut can opener I showed in this vid.
    The link is located on my homepage on the right side or by clicking this link: astore.amazon.com/richsm-20
    In this video I show you how to make a secret hiding place using recycled items that you would have in your home. You will need a can and a container that fits inside the can, some hot glue, and paper towels. It should only take a few minutes to make, and it blends in really well so that no one would know that it's actually a safe! Thanks for watching and feel free to comment, I check my comments daily.

    Nice job Rich, very simple and straightforward way of making an awesome secret safe for hiding things. It is also cheap to make, a lot better than buying those $20 ones at the stores! :-)

    Far better to cut off the BOTTOM of the can to use as the lid , then when it stands on the shelf the top looks pristine , and any marks around the bottom are less noticeable .

      Very good idea! Sorry for the late response.

    Great idea. I never would have thought of a jar inside of a can. Ingenius!

    I actually have that can opener and LOVE it!!!! I used it to make the perfect biscuit cutter out of a soup can. Now you have given me another wonderful reason to use it!! Thanks! Great video!

    • @RichsMethods
      @RichsMethods  10 років тому

      You're welcome. My wife at first thought I was wasting money, but now we can use the lid to reseal the can. Thanks for watching!

  • @ErikAskviken

    Hey Rich, might be a good idea to buy a can of spray foam, put the jar inside before the foam dries to make the "form". Then cut away the excess foam, hot glue the tops and presto! Almost custom safe without the paper towels....

  • @TheAttacker732
    @TheAttacker732 10 років тому +1

    Might I suggest using modelling clay to hold the jar in place? It would give the can a more proper weight (To attempt to prevent detection) and might be more permanent holder & spacer than the sponge & paper towels... Also, for room, I'd suggest using a stew can with some form of liner.

    What if the thief is really poor and wants your food as well, and then later discovers money in it? And possibly a USB drive with porn on it...

  • @jmhurcadi
    @jmhurcadi 10 років тому

    You can also fill the bottom of the can with latex paint after you put the sponge then put the jar in! The latex paint will solidify when dried! This process will take longer of course but will work great!

  • @RichsMethods
    @RichsMethods  10 років тому

    No, just place your palm on the lid to unscrew it. It should loosen. It is best to pick an internal container that is easy to open and close (The glass jar in my video).

  • @RichsMethods
    @RichsMethods  12 років тому

    But how would you open the can again?

  • @jerrybushman
    @jerrybushman 9 років тому +1

    Unless you can lock the can, it does not need the jar inside. Trying to get the lid to set down right every time is a hassle. Simply use the empty can with the lid cut off like you showed, is good enough. Don't try this if you are on probation because POs are on to this.

    • @RichsMethods
      @RichsMethods  9 років тому +1

      Good point about not putting a jar inside. I like the comment about PO's.

    • @walkingweapon
      @walkingweapon 9 років тому

      Got an idea for how to keep the bottom of the can on without the jar?

    • @jerrybushman
      @jerrybushman 9 років тому

      Nick M???? The bottom of the can is not altered. Only the top of the can is open.

    • @walkingweapon
      @walkingweapon 9 років тому

      jerry bushman Sorry, I was thinking of the commercial ones, they unscrew from the bottom. How would you do it so the top doesn't fall off when someone picks up the can, then?

    • @jerrybushman
      @jerrybushman 9 років тому +1

      Nick M If some one was to pick up the can, it would be to open it and they would open it anyway. If someone was looking for a fake container hiding something they would see that the can has already been opened. This method is used only when you want to hide something in plain sight, it will never stand up to inspection. Even if shaking the can will evade detection, the cut lid will always give it away.

    Instead of putting foam And paper in it, put sand or salt on the Side + metal on the inside , And fix with hot glue on top of it : that way its as heavy as the original full weight

    • @pandachickenmama
      @pandachickenmama 4 роки тому

      I used plaster of Paris in the bottom and epoxy the screw top to the can lid. The plaster keeps the jar inside tight and gives the can some weight so it isn't as noticeable that the can has been emptied

  • @BridgetteKitten
    @BridgetteKitten 11 років тому

    I have the same can opener

  • @RichsMethods
    @RichsMethods  12 років тому

    Empty out the contents first, then use the can opener to open the bottom (use a can that has a metal lip on the bottom). Then follow the same steps as I show in this video.

    The way you open your can also makes it safer. If you fit it as the way it was intended, you can cut yourself on the lid.

She's anal about keeping tabs on withdrawals from our bank so I get fuel at a store in town that gives cash back on the card. I now have a vehicle with notoriously poor fuel economy and a curtain rod worth $4700.00.

    That can opener doesn't cut at all. The lid and the sides are two pieces, it just separates them. That's why it isn't jagged.
