Gordon here, I also like the way you explain in simple words and plain ENGLISH so I taken made a file with ideas then I can go back to refresh this old brain . Don t stop keep videos coming , cause they are perfect.
I’m glad I found your channel, I used to have a vice that became a problem and got it straightened out and your projects have inspired me and kept this combat veteran busy enough and enthused so my idle hands don’t become a devil’s playground again. Thank you, sir.
Suhweet! I started building distressed mantles after I saw your video on building them, then I started incorporating concealment shelves into the mantle builds just like you’ve done here! I sold quite a number of them thanks to you. The one thing I did differently was leaving the French cleat system and making my own hinge system by drilling nylon bushings into the lower back outside corners as well as into the panel which lowers down. Then making steel pins to fit inside the bushings that go through the outside into the panel which then acted as a hinge. All I had to do then was put wood dowels in from the outside to keep the pin from eventually working it’s way out and presto a hinged compartment!
Matthew, love your shop and your work. I am also grateful to you for your promptness to correct any errors that may happen when ordering. You have always done that with me way before 24 hours has even passed. Thanks for being so quick to jump on shipping errors and correct them.
The cool thing about the RFID locks is that they sell RFID rings that look really nice. Then you have it on you at all times, never need to worry about a key card that is in the other room or in your other pants' pocket or a little one finding it.

But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I am so glad I came across your videos. I love how you explain as well as show your work. You are by far my favorite to learn from. Your videos really have helped me out. Thank you.
Wow, really nice work! Great stash spot for not one, but two handguns! One for each hand, just like Bad Boys movies! On the ready in a split second to murder the tweeker trying to steal your 12 year old 46" flat screen. Or better yet your teenage kid stumbling in drunk after sneaking out to party with their friends. Don't even need a pass code, just a tap key. Don't even need to put a key in a lock, perfect for a toddler to open with ease. Nice!
Great work Matthew, one distressing technique I use that you might know is to take the boards and lay them on heavy gravel or rocks and step on the board, it provides a natural looking distressed pattern. Learned that from Charles Neil. Thanks for all the hard work.
Love that distressing tool! Would so love a video how to set it up. People love that stuff. Just now starting my wood biz and I want this to be one of the first few that I build and sell.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Do you do the mounting or provide instructions for your customers and how to buy the mounting kit? I think I may make this one of my staples to sell. I'm going to make one for my house first.
This is more advanced than I know how to build at the moment, but I look forward to getting myself to the level of skill I need to do this sort of project!
Nothings “2 advanced” buddy’ Doing it / messing up / redoing it is the best way to get your skill level up! Thankfully pines cheap again’ Everything and I mean everything is a BOX! House Dresser Cabinets etc all boxes’ Learn to make a box and you can make anything!
Phenomenal build! Great ideas on that "non Osha" distresor rig... Distressed Guitars go for 2k to 3k! This is a great side hustle 4U. I need a carpentry class ASAP💩
OUTSTANDING CONSEPT TO COMPLETION. DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS! The only thing I'm going to do differently is cobble together end grain ends to further disguise the piece. Another attractive aspect is that it can be built to size, anything from what you built, a floating shelf to a faux fireplace or wood stove mantle. I'm deeply impressed. Liked and subscribed.
Just bought the plans on Etsy , just to show support. Your videos are always great. Love the clear instructions, no clowning around and tips and tricks. You Sir have become my favorite UA-cam woodworker. Look forward to more videos. Just hoping wood cost will come down soon.
Ok, that's messed up how great minds think alike. After seeing your floating distressed shelf video and the concealed shelf one, I've been thinking of how to merge the two. Lol, looks like you did the thinking for me!
I love watching your videos, you show great ideas and tips on how to make great finishes. I’ve got to make a couple of the concealment pieces you’ve shown, and you’ve given me some ideas on how to make a design of my own.
Man this is awesome! I can’t tell you how many things that you’ve inspired me to build but it’s a lot. *If you knew me, you’d know that I take LOTS of pictures. So I have pictures of them all! This build is definitely next up on my list. As always, thank you very much for your awesome videos. They’re always so clear and concise, professional and to the point! You’re the man Master Splinter!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking both my calves are south pacific influenced with Polynesian Tribal on both. I got those done when I was 18 & now 20 years later I still get compliments on how well they look. Even my full backpiece, which is a Polynesian hula girl dancer, she has Polynesian Tribal tattoos.
Good thing my kids don’t know about the guns in my sofa and under the beds. I tell them don’t go looking under there unless they want to see ghosts and they haven’t checked since 👻 lmao
BRILLIANT!!! I’ve made a bunch of your trellises this last week using a jig and I am gonna try my hand at your other concealment shelf this week. Will try this one next week. Do you think a French cleat would work with this like with your regular distressed floating shelf? Thanks again for being so generous with your ideas mate 👍
No worries! And TY! I attempted to design it with a french cleat... It just wasn't tall enough with the hinges. I'll try a large mantle and I bet I could get it to work.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks for trying and failing so I don’t have to mate 🤣 Love the traction you’re getting on this channel. Onwards 🐎 (horse is running backwards).
This what I love about America and our constitutional freedom. It warms my heart every time I see something like this and reminded, for every piece of shit criminal willing to break into someone's home, theres that chance someone had been waiting 25 years to hear that door know jiggle or glass break.
Nice work brother... I made one myself like 10 yrs ago with the crown mounding, rope accents and motion activated light... I do like the gas strut idea as opposed too jack chain but I just seen picture of the flag one and said ya let's do it and just winged it for most part... I ended up with a Cadillac dealership sign (around 14 inch tall & 50 inch long that I wanted too use for my sister and brother in law with same idea and backlight it with fingerprint scanner but im having hard time picturing what I want exactly or how too actually go about making it work for sure...
I love these builds that you do. I just recently found you on UA-cam and have been binge watching allot of your stuff. What is the wood you use for these faux beams? Is it just pine or is it a hard wood?
Incredible work! As a woodworker trying to build the business side I would be curious to know the cost of build and what you charge in your area. Thanks for sharing all your builds and info.
Thanks Jeff! The cost isn't bad at all. Just depends on how you want to trick it out. The wood itself only takes a 6' 1x10 and a 6' 1x8. May be cheaper just to buy a 12' 1x10. So just depends on the material cost is your area. As far as selling again it depends on your area. The only place online that sells anything like it charges $300.
Very cool project! I likey….might try it myself , but for me I’d make the box shorter. Looks too tall like something might be in it. For me I’d probably make it 2-2 1/2” cavity so it doesn’t look conspicuous! Neat idea tho.
Question, i got your Patriot bundle plans. Building the distressed mantle shelf & got the shocks linked in video. Seem to long to close, any chance they are supposed to be shorter than the 8.58” ones linked?
Thanks. It will give you a warning when it has so many openings left. And it comes with a usb cord that can be ran out and hook to a power supply if you wanted to take the time to hide it.
Beautiful sir! Curious... have you used those magnets a while? I have been looking into a few different options myself but its a stellar idea regardless of brand choice. At least it is in my mind haha... but I have yet to prototype anything.
Thanks for the video!! I finished the build on this but for some reason I have to bump the front of the shelf after scanning the fob to get the door to drop.... I sanded and rounded the edge with my palm sander but still seems a tad sticky...Any idea what I could be doing wrong? thanks again!!!
Its quite obvious, when youre going to have a huge beam-sized log on your wall, there's something more to it than for just presenting knickknacks on it
Thanks for sharing! It looks like quite an angle to hit the mounting holes once the box is together. Any tips? Also, did you use any poly after the stain? Thx.
Hey Matt, another fine project. Now tell me which one of these do you like best and which one is easier to make. Oh I'm talking about the other floating shelf gun concealment you made before. Have a great day brother.
Very nice! Huge fan of the craftsmanship brother. Curious what this entire mantle would sell for just as it is completed in the video? What would it cost to build such a nice mantle or shelf with the hardware, magnets, wood and the whole entire thing?
This is gonna be perfect for my sons house he was just asking me to make home some floating shelves….. I seen on ur Etsy page the plans are you gonna do a combo of this shelf and the concealed table? I’d be in for that pair….Excellent concepts and really nice videos and links I’ve gotten the lock,slides lights for the table and will get the shelf parts coming….Thanks
Man!!, That is a really nice project I like it a lot. Now I use this same concept for a shotgun ? Do you have a video for shotguns??? Thankyou for any info you can provide...
A great video, but how do you attach it to the wall? I watched your previous vids about distressing wood and making a faux wooden beam (excellent!), but they attached to the wall via a French cleat. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything like that in this video?
Ok, am I the only one that feels like he is watching the Bob Ross of woodworking! Absolutely phenomenal work!!
Lol. Love me some Bob Ross.
And as the door opens we see a happy little 9mm...
