Hello everyone! I made a follow up video to this one with some things I'd do differently next time. Thanks to all the subscribers! More videos to come. ua-cam.com/video/zZw3_JxTnyY/v-deo.html
I'm very impressed. As a pro cabinet-maker, I've just been asked to quote for a bookcase door by a prospective client, and, having never done one before, I needed a heads up - yours is the first video on the subject I've seen. You've done a great job! If you ever want to move to Gloucester in the UK and change your career into pro woodworking, I'll give you a job😉
I have zero carpentry skills except for whatever I learned in 7th & 8th grade wood shop. Your style of narrating and filming your progress was easy to follow and understand. You’re like a mad genius with problem solving! The only thing left that I wanted to see was the opening the bookcase with the special book - but other than that, thanks for sharing this project!
It is in the beginning of the video.
Great job on this project! Thumbs up! But even more than that, I use to be jealous of guys who had table saws with very large tables able to cut down very large boards. Never even occurred to me what I see you’ve done to achieve the same thing with sawhorses. Kudos to you for making the obvious,…obvious. A lot of people may have missed that, I’m thankful I didn’t. Thank you John. 👍🏽
I’ve always wanted a hidden Bookcase Door type thing like the Bat cave entrance
The gate latch and strike plate are brilliant ideas!
Great video. Just what we need to for an upstairs opening. Thanks!
You Sir are awesome!
I could watch you for hours!!!
Very cool. Looks great. I wish you would have added close up video of the book wire mechanism working to unlock the door. Just so we can see how it works in practice.
My word. Just fabulous! ❤ Helpful kitty too 😊 looks amazing. Great job! X
Cute kitty cat!! Great job! Love it!
Love it! I’m building an in swing bookcase door now!!
Brilliant! Loved watching and no wasted time on this video either. Great work.
Thanks!
Such Beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing brother.
Nice work! Would've liked to see the book latch used. Cool idea
Yes.
The video I have been looking for! Thank you for making it!
Nice fun build! Really good job on the video also. Thanks!
Man, you totally rocked that!
Well two book cases later and my house now looks like its out of a sherlock holmes novel, Thanks for sharing the hinges are superb and worked great. Now to begin the hidden tunnels...on to colin furze next haha.
I love the reality of your build😆
Absolutely love the invisible safety shoes.......
GREAT JOB. LOOKING GOOD
LOVED this project and how clearly you show/explain everything. Question before I start my own…the space I’m using is an open doorway that’s never had a pre existing door, door frame, door jamb, etc…. Just kind of an open walkway. Do you recommend still adding that plywood frame on both sides for the hinges or do you think they could attached to the studs on one side??
Thanks for your time and inspiration!!
Wow, Wow...amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! Amazing door, and your monotone humor was pretty funny too 10/10 👏🏽
Very awesome, thanks 👍 TALENT Buddy just awesome
Wonderful to have on hand for little ones.
Pretty awesome job man. Well done. Love the wall color too.😊 You just need something that will automatically turn that light in when the door I gets opened.
That’s what I thought. He just needs an inexpensive motion sensing switch in that small space…
Menino quero te conhecer pessoalmente, vc é muito fera no que vc faz, ficou incrível, lindo mesmo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hes living my childhood dream
And in mine, too 😀
Very nice job, going to watch the other video now.
Awesome. I'll be doing mine this year.
Thanks dude, looks great!!!
Beautifully done project! But two issues I see, both having to do with maintaining secrecy:
ONE: Relying on a fake book as an opener. Someone may want to check out the book. Better to use an object that no one would have any obvious reason to grab, like a plant, or even make the opening mecanism a part of the shelf itself.
TWO: Covering an access that people would naturally look for, like the basement door in this case. Because, you know, in order to keep this passage secret, you'd pretty much have to cover up the fact that you have a basement. Of course, this project is still a nice addition to your home even if it's not a "secret" door, but it might as well be, right? ;- )
I love that cute heavy object you used to sit on the warped wood!😂
Awesome ... enjoyed watching this
Very cool project!
This is awesome.
Thanks.
Thumbs up for the shoeless project. Well played bro!
That is awesome and inspiring. Well done and then you!
You did a nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
My wife loves how easily you explain things. She does a lot of building also
My wife also likes your cat 🤗
Hope you bring her the tools she needs at least lolll
Very cool. Thanks for the video.
you looked so proud walking out of that door in that last clip.
That was great! Thank you!
When I get my cabin I want a secret store room with one of those in it.

Good work. Butt humor. Cats. 12/10
Very clever. Well done
Nicely done!
Great job!
Nicely done
I wish you showed how to open the door from outside. And how did you latch that wire to the book.
@steven dow from 11:40 to the end, it's all explained.
I wish you did
Your not very handy. Think!
Great video. Been researching ideas for a similar application. Your freehand routering is much better than mine…I always have to set up a guide or else I end up with a drunken mess 😂. Anyways thanks for the how to 👍
Great work!
Nice job! Great idea, execution, and uh -views. ha!
Wtf only 1k subs with this quality this channel deserves more
This just gave me a great idea on how to add extra space to my small house. There is virtually no hidden storage in my house besides one small hallway closet. So if I made this I could use the shelving as storage without taking up any space in my house.
Rosettes. The corner trim pieces are called rosettes. The coolest part was the wooden book and I waited all the way till the end to see if you were going to open it from the outside with the book. I thought you would have it on a hinge so it unlatches but can't be removed. Cool anyways.
I'm going to buld this. Thanks. PS enjoyed the view.
Excellent job and details. New subscriber from Spain
It was the cat joke that got the "like" for me 😅
Well done!!! congratulations
Great job.
Cool sense of humor
exellent work.how long did it take you and abt how much did you spend on material?
That's is so awesome 👌. Could you please send me some information regarding the hinges you used? And their weight capacity. Thank you 🙏
that is beautiful work
Was at a friends house last weekend and they had installed the “Murphy door” kit. For the amount that it cost it didn’t seem all that great of a finished product. It worked but it seemed like it could have been a lot nicer.
Sweet! Although I would personally not use white paint. White shows dirt/grime easily (handprints) and will give away your hidden room position easier
Would love to know the approximate cost for this project. Looks great!
Nice job
Great job 👍
“Camera went out of focus from basement side for a second “
Spooky 😳🙂
Do you think it would be possible to add a deadbolt on the stair side? Maybe a smart lock that unlocks when you're close.
I want this! I have never had an inside access to my basement (outdoor only)
Awesome.
Whaou, thank you very much for this great video, tutorial and explanation!!!!!
1) Is that possible that you link the hinge that you use? Hope to find a equivalent in France but at least if I could have a name or link it would really helpful.
2) Is that a special reason that you 3rd hinges is not in the middle but closer to the upper one ?
Thank a lot in advance for you support and time.
Greetings
Cedric
want/need this in my condo lol
AWESOME!
I really love the work you done but that top piece that kept falling off looked like some work I would have done 🤣.
Super cool 😎
You are a genius! What about putting a set of casters under the bottom shelf to help support the weight - so that the hinges are not taking the full load? I had tried to create a pantry by hanging kitchenmaid wire over-door hanging shelves on the back of a kitchen exit. But the weight tore the entire door off the hinges in the middle of the night. I ended up only putting spices on the door. Anyway great job. It looks wonderful!
if the weight isnt supported by the hinges you are going to leave drag marks on the floor. great way to make a hidden door plain to see.
Awesome stuff
What types of wood and lock were used? Could you tell me please?
Excellent job John... You can do ours anytime....
Cool windows (hexagon) in the work room.
Awesome 👏
I'm having trouble figuring out how far into the bookshelf to mount these hinges... should they be on the edge? Or should theh be 1/4 in?
How sheets of plywood did you need?
Why did you screw in the top piece of "crown molding"? Genuinely just curious. Awesome project!
What sort of hinges did you use that could support a bookshelf?
Hi ,
How do you calculate the depth of the shelves based on the width of the opening / door so that it will close perfectly without hinderance
?
awesome!
LOL THE CAT
This is magical!! Oh my, I LOVE this!
HAHAHAH! Fun humor included was appreciated. ;P
It is brilliant!😀
hows the porter cable nail gun
You did a great job on your project and liked your video - no music, no dancing bears (the cat wasn't buying it). Any chance you would share your drawings or dimensions so I don't miss something. Probably not as skilled as you seem to be but definitely committed to building a bookcase like this.
Unfortunately I don't have any drawings or plans. I just kind of made it up as I went along. Of course my doorway would likely have different measurements than yours so a sketch from me may not help you. I'll be sure to add how I measured for swing clearance in my next video.
My thoughts exactly… no frills or silly faces, drawings, etc. that distract from the project. And, yeah, the cat was a touch of humor at the right time.
wish I had those mad skills
Nice!!!
My daughter and son in law bought a house in the woods. There was a secret room behind the book shelf with its own bath. It had 80 AR-15s and enough ammo to start a war. Even the real estate agent didn't know about it.
