    Hiding the dowels behind the drawer slides and using one of the factory holes as access is pure genius.

    I try to always put in a hidden compartment when I am building someone custom furniture. Such an added value for the customer and a stupendous referral generator.

  • @dustinpryde3121
    @dustinpryde3121 5 років тому +1

    I think I would of used an extra hole in the slide as you did but hide the lock in plain site by using another screw long enough to go into the secret compartment. Not as elaborate and probably not as good of a video but practical and quick. That's why I'm on this side of the screen and you're the one making while I'm watching.

  • @sienile
    @sienile 7 років тому +2

    I had a similar idea for the latch mechanism that wouldn't require an additional pin to open the compartment.
    Put screws in the holes you dowelled, but one screw would be put in a dowel. The dowel would need to be fully removed to open the compartment, but it could be opened by simply pouring it out by the screw head with your fingernail. For additional security you could have a small magnet on the inside end of the dowel that would hold against the non-moving screw.

    You'll never get all your $1000 bills into that wee drawer. I loved the drawer, it's really tidy work. Big things here tomorrow night... my mates are coming to move the machinery into the extension for me. They are engineers and mechanics so everything will be bang-on square when they leave. I am really excited.

    • @IBuildIt

Glad you have not edited that out from the clip.
    And of course thanks for sharing great craftsmanship and genious simplicity of the locking mechanism.

  • @eherlitz
    @eherlitz 7 років тому

    Regarding blade heights, use a riving knife with a guard in case you are concerned about security. Always run you saw blades with as much clearance above your work piece as possible since they then will run cooler and last much longer!

  • @MaxGoddur
    @MaxGoddur 7 років тому

    Are all miter saw the same when it comes to width and height they can cut through? If we were to use a diameter as a sample cut what would be the largest dimension we could cut?

  • @MRrwmac
    @MRrwmac 7 років тому

    I like how you used double sided storage to make the best use of space in the cabinet! BUT (there's always a but) putting your clamps up there might end up making for empty space knowing how you "always" put your tools away (yea right) - haha.
    Celine Dion and Monopoly money were great choices to put in the secret compartment. Now if you forget where the secret compartment is and how to open it (like me) they will forever be safe!

    @j4nssent477 7 років тому

    Do you think you can put a spring between the right drawer piece and the dowel? So you dont need to use a pin on the other side? An then maybe drive a screw into the left side of the dowel, and open it by pushing that?

    • @IBuildIt
      @IBuildIt  7 років тому +5

      Could, but then need to find a spring the right size and spend extra time fine tuning to make sure it actually pushes the dowel. And sometime down the road it may stop working. Better to keep it simple.
