In this video I demonstrate how to make an awesome trick box. Once the lid goes on, it's locked! No matter how you tilt, angle, or hold the box, the lid remains locked... unless you know the secret!
Please consider sharing this video with your friends, we both know they'd love to see it too! :)
Check below for the free plans to build it yourself...

Very nice project. One suggestion - put a small piece of felt where the nails hit the sides of the box to silence them so there's no hint that something needs to move inside.
interesting project- love the bloopers!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, this old video shows how you improved in everything, specifically extra pounds. The best channel now. Thank you and keep it up.
Thanks! Well, I've recently lost 20lbs and I plan to lose another 20. :)
@FishersShop 🥹🥹🥹 good luck
I am glad you include your outtakes including the fires. Other youtubers make me feel inept with there perfect videos.
Made one for one of my grandsons for Christmas; I'm sure he'll love it!! Thank you so much--love your channel!!
Awesome little box. I literally was amazed at how it opens. Very clever design.
I made one of these in shop class back on Middle School. Found the box while doing some spring cleaning (Quarantine!) And couldn't remember how to open it, haha. Thanks for the video! Finally got mine open.
Fantastic! And very generous of you too. Thank you
I made this and gave it to my son in law as a Christmas gift tonight. He loved it and everyone loved how the locking mechanism worked.
I have started making these types of boxes for the kids in my neighborhood birthday gifts, they are so much fun to make.
So, after the build & reveal, the best part of the video screened. Now all those who think magic happens easily in a woodshop are enlightened on what it takes to get to the finish line. Well done. Loved it
another thing of beauty Mr fish and I love the outtakes please keep doing them there's nothing more human:)
Thanks, Loved the trick. Mostly it is magnets or levers. Also admitting that it takes a few takes in making a good a video. The tools on the wall, so neat. Grandma would be so proud of you.
Agreed. That is too cool. I love stuff like this. I'll be making these for sure. Thanks.
Loving the out takes, because you make everything so perfectly it's great to see you're like the rest of us
Great build. My 10 year old son has recently become obsessed with :puzzle boxes." The looks like some we could build together. Great job!!
Love the out takes because that is what really happens
Love the outtakes. They give a little reality to the build.
Love that simple but awesome I think everyone loves the spin move.
OK! Got it. I went to your channel and love your idea for collecting the dust from the mitre saw. This will one of projects for this week. Thanks
"OH CRAP, set it on fire again!"... lol you have the best youtube personality! Love the content
very nice build and I knew how it worked before you started but watched anyway - I find watching these kinds of builds to be soothing and very relaxing.
Hi Fisher, I stumbled over you channel a few days ago and I liked you from the first video. Cool projects, cool guy, funny, not afraid of making fun of yourself, honest enough to also show the outtakes - and not only the things that go wrong with the filming but also with the woodworking. Way to go!
YOU WIN!!! For most tools used in DYI UA-cam video!!
In all honesty, great craftsmanship and instruction. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Fun little project, Drew, and a clever locking system. As for the broken belt sanding belt, all's not lost, cut it up and use it on your block sander....
Exactly what I did!
My grandpa used to make wooden puzzles and used this method in one. He died right before I was born and no one else asked him how to do any of it. Thank you.
Thanks Drew. This is a awesome design for a trick box. Your instructions made the build go real fast. I made a couple other centrifugal boxes with marginal success. But this one works great. I made a couple of modifications that worked well for me. On the bottom I used 1" square feet with felt on the bottom of them. I put 1 foot in the middle and doubled the felt so it was slightly higher this allows it to spin real nice. I also, cut the channels attached to the top in half and put a piece of cardstock between the halves. This prevents the rods from sliding beyond half way into the channel. The rods were occasionally not sliding out when the box was spun.
Clever additions! Nicely done! :)
Way cool! Never thought of a locking system like this.
Thank you Mr. Fisher!
Loved the project and the added locking system. I plan on making one. Fortunately, I have some floorboards laying around. Thanks
Go for it!
Terrific box Drew. I will buy the plans now. Thank you.
Great project!! Looks like a fun weekend project.
This is the very type of mechanism I was looking for, and done in such a way I think I can make it myself, with a few personal flourishes. First time on the channel, but not the last, thank you for the video and the plans. Also, thank you for the outtakes, nice to know the people I'm learning from understand imperfect folks like myself.
So cool love this kind of stuff really drives me nuts but won't stop until I can figure it out (I'm like a dog with a bone). Thanks again for your humor and sharing your know how, really enjoyed.
I like your style of comedy... fits my personality. Also, I know there needs to be a balance, but simple free plans like this really brings people in. IMO.
When I was a kid I bought this trick piggy bank box. It was a small box with a coin slot in the top and the only thing glued was a mouse trap on the bottom. You set the trap and put the box together and insert a coin; then the mouse trap causes the sides and top to fall. lol. I thought it was cool as a kid but this is so much cooler. Thanks for sharing!
SWEET! Very cool - you are correct. Nicely done.
That is an awesome box. Something cool to try out on my down time.
Great project. Will be on my to do list. Im glad to know im not the only one that uses wood flooring boards in projects. Thank you for sharing. GW
Gotta use what ya got, right? Thanks for watching
Cool box. I like the out takes too
Thanks 👍
Thanks for making the project look fairly easy.
Great fun :) I will try this. Thank you :)
Love the out takes.
Thank you for sharing.....
LOVE it!
That is a very interesting box! Who would ever think to spin a box to get it to unlock?...Really cool!
Love the outtakes! Thanks for posting them :) Hard to realize sometimes that everyone has the shop snafus going on. Burning pieces and things flying around! LoL!
Very cleaver build. Thanks! And thanks for the outtakes! That's real life!
Great achievement
Thanks for sharing that. Awesome design!
Gonna give it a go when I am done painting the house !
Clever and beautiful box and excellent instructions. I think you also have the best design that I have seen for a flip top tool cart.
Nice build! The locking mechanism reminds me of those puzzles as a kid where you had to get the metal balls into each corner and the trick was to spin the puzzle. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Fun project! Thanks for the free plans.
Drew, I've been watching your videos today and you my friend... are hilarious! Your videos are so well put together and informative, but the funny commentary and ending them all with the outtakes is awesome! Thank you for such enjoyable content!!!
Thanks much, Matthew! :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Cool build. Using centrifugal force to allow to open, super ingenious I must say. Love your videos and the outakes especially. Keep creating and thanks for sharing! :)
That's freaking awesome. Your mind works different than everyone elses. Good idea.
Nice thank you
Thank you for this video. Really cool build. Nice looking box. I’m just getting into wood working a little bit
Great built and I really liked the box and the locking system. One of my problems in my shop is controlling the dust from the chop saw. I see that you have an interesting system for capturing the dust. Can you share this as I really need some help in this area.
Thanks
Centrifugal force! I kept looking for springs to be added to push/pull the pins, or magnetic baby-proof cabinet latches or something. Cool project!
And for a larger box where it's more difficult to spin fast enough, perhaps use a nearby lazy susan? Or else, add a divot in the middle of the bottom to accept a marble, then felt-covered feet in the corners that are 1/16" shorter than the marble's diameter, so that the box slightly pivots and spins on the marble. The marble could then be stored in a top recess as part of a lid decoration.
Awesome box. A long time ago I bought a small toy in Missouri that was based on this same principle. It resides in Jones Barbershop in Pensacola, FL where it continues to puzzle customers today. Young and old alike have fun with this. I plan on building this box.
Thanks Edwin! Have fun building it
Love the box like the outtakes what a fantastic lock
This box is a brilliant idea and would make great presents for people, well done and i love the outtakes at the end ha ha ha.

Thanks, Barry!
You always amaze me lol. You humor 🤣 is what sets you apart from other woodworkers
I literally gasped when he showed how to unlock it! Really cool
Brilliant just brilliant. Robbie from Huyton UK keep them coming....
Very nice! Thanks for posting...
that is cool.i have to make one.thanks.
This is the first video I've seen of yours. I really love the out-takes. It makes me feel good to that someone who makes some awesome stuff can still have some difficulties. Thanks and great project and video.
Thanks, Ryan
GREAT PROJECT. CANT WAIT TO TRY IT.
Very ingenious and relatively easy. Thank you!
Your videos are by far my favourites, keep up the great content!
What a great idea, thanks Fisher!
Sun, and Rain. very nice.
Clever design!! I for one would never think that centrifugal force would do the trick.
You could hint at that by leaving it on top of a Lazy Susan!
Great project.... beautiful work....I WANT ONE.... I guess I had better get busy.... thanks for sharing
Brilliant. Keep it up. Great to see the problems along the way and how you overcame them.
Thanks, Andy!
Awesome, man! Thats such a great idea for a lock system.
Really appreciate the work you put into making this material man. I just know how much of a struggle it can be sometimes, even when you love to do it!
Your woodworking skills are incredible and your videos are really entertaining. An inspiration. Thank you. (I wish I knew you in person!)
