I like it. If you move the drawer slides up higher, you can hide the seam for the hidden drawer.
You mean so it runs ultra close to the bottom of the seam?
@@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar I would move the drawer slide up so that it just barely covers the seam. The drawer slide would still be screwed to the bottom/hidden drawer, just use a small portion of the 2" tall slide to hide the seam.
@@hocuspocus4871 - And maybe put some kind of clasp or something behind the drawerface and below the hidden drawer to hold the top drawer down. So only those who know about the clasp can open the hidden drawer. 🤔
I was thinking the same thing!
@@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar A magnetic childs lock would work great.
I know you've got your commercial operation, with all sorts of computerized milling via CNC, etc., but when you're in your shop knocking out these small personal projects, there's such an infectious joy in your voice when you accomplish what you're aiming for. It's like we're seeing brand new April all over again. Keep at it and never stop having fun with this. - Stew
April, I appreciate how you showed your mishaps, laughed a little, then showed us the correction. I make a lot of mistakes in my pursuit to improve and humble videos like this are helpful! Thank you!
They say things always come back in style. That is very 1970's modern style , I know I was there lol. I love the hiding spots too!
Thanks April for another unique and functional piece of furniture. I can’t imagine any better “hidden” storage place than you’ve created. The design allows one to stow away any number of items with in easy reach. This will make a great nightstand to store those items needed in a pinch. This would be much better than leaving a ‘pew pew’ piece laying out in the open! Thanks again for such simple to build pieces!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
You mentioned a little while ago you are an amateur builder. You are so much more than that! The skills you've learned and been able to master are a joy to watch and learn from!! Keep it up!!
You're very kind, thank you! I appreciate your support!
this design seems to make way more sense than some of the other "hidden storage" builds I've seen that are unnecessarily overcomplicated. Well done, i'll "borrow" some of these ideas!
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Love you April for drawer construction. 😊
Look at all that space in your yard. Some people are just so lucky!!!!
Nice one April. Enjoy your segments when I get the chance to view them uninterrupted..
Glad you like them!
One of the best I’ve seen.
Moving the magnets up a third or half the height, you could push the bottom of the back to make the top of the back come outwards, thus eliminating the finger hole.
EFFING SWEET! ❤
Thank you!
If you move the Drawer slides up, the drawer slide would hide the seam between the two drawers.
Nicely done (as always). Adding a magnetic operated latch on the hidden draw would mean it would be more secure unless you know where to put the magnet.
I like how you laugh when you make a mistake April. It’s much better than getting mad. You just laugh at yourself and then you fix the problem. 👏😃
Yes! Life's too short to take oneself too seriously. Thanks for watching.
What a Fantastic Concealment Weapons cabinet! Really Great Project!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very very nice April!
Thank you so much!
Awesome. Beautiful and perfect mobile!
It's great to see women like you, it's something to be proud of. Independent, talented and still values veterans, family protection with gun ownership, among many other values that are being lost by movements that are a shame to the world. I'm from Brazil and I would love to have more women like you here.
Love this design, April, and I love that you keep things real by being able to laugh at yourself sometimes! Excellent video, as usual! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Love that sweet and simple
I'm glad you liked it!
Ill see you on whatever im building next” 👍 love it” great work April”can’t wait to see what’s next “
Thanks! Glad you enjoy my channel.
Very nice design April.
Thank you! 😊
The hidden compartments at the rear of the drawers are great. It seems that the compartments on the bottoms of the drawers could be too easily discovered, even by accident while opening the drawers. Maybe a small line of small rare earth magnets between the edges of the sides of the drawers would provide enough resistance to prevent accidental discovery. A shallower lower compartment would be less obvious, maybe 2", enough to hold a 9mm or 45 ACP. Cool Idea!
Painting the back wood black, would also help “hide” finger notch for sneaky stuff, lol.
That said, THIS IS AMAZING & looks Modern, sleek, & beautiful in any home!
Of course for me, I’d use architectural vinyl and wrap legs w/ brushed aluminum or matte black; but to each their own
Cheers April, as your an amazing person ✌🏻
Neat project! I’ve found it easier to just mark and drill the pilot holes from the outside, then you’re guaranteed to hit the stock dead center when you drill from the inside.
April. That may be one of the coolest idea’s you’ve done, very nicely done!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Love your builds! Thanks for sharing, April!
Another great video Ms April
Thank you so much!
Great job April, pretty good looking cabinet to have around the living room. Thanks for sharing the design with us. Fred.
Good call by your friend on the legs, I really like the way they look! Great build, thanks for sharing!
Very retro-ish, I LOVE IT! Thank you, April.
Glad you like it!
April - Once again, nicely done!! Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you, your family, and your crew.
Thank you so much!
THAT is AWESOME! The finish is absolutely beautiful and those hidden compartments are cool as heck! Thanks so much for sharing. God bless.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I love it April! You did a awesome sneaky table!
Very practical and nice
Glad you think so!
First all thank for your videos. In particular in this project, congratulations for the simple and smart design. A hug
Super neat hidingplaces! You could do a ”V-notch” where the pulled out drawer meet up with the shelf to make it open even more☺️
Good thought. 😎
Always, always ALWAYS good stuff from AW! Big fan. And, my daughter is very interested in making, now that she's seen some of your videos. For that alone you have my gratitude.
That is awesome! Give her a High Five for me! Thanks for watching.
Great idea and love that style!
Amazing and Cool!
Well done, April!
Thank you so much!
Safety Safety Safety April! Just watched your video and you are not wearing your safety glasses while using power tools. #noexcuse! Oh loved the video!
I was thinking the way the table legs are you could add a little shelf on the tops of them. Nice job, you can see you enjoy what you are doing! Thanks
Love it! Simple, clever design, easy to build; Great Result & FUN! What more can you want!!
Glad you like it!
This is amazing i love the sneaky compartment under the drawer it looks so cool
I'm glad you like it
Awesome job! Love the hidden spaces. Always wanted to build something with hidden spaces. Thanks!
Thank you! Hidden spaces are so fun and functional!
You have been a huge inspiration to me! When I watch your videos it motivates me to keep going. I don’t have a lot as a woodworker, but you give me hope and a goal to strive for!
Thank you! When I started, I bought my tools 2nd hand from yard sales and pawn shops, buying only the tool I needed then saved for the next one. Eventually, my tool collection, my experience and my confidence grew. Enjoy the process. You'll look back on it and have so much self pride and satisfaction. Best wishes and thanks for watching.
Excellent job, April! I think the legs being on the outside is a cool idea. But, I am wondering about how they are holding up the cabinet. If the legs are simply attached with screws, are you then depending upon the shear strength of your screws to hold up the entire cabinet and its contents? How about this as a modification: have the cabinet rest upon a small notch cut into each leg. Then attach the legs with screws. That way the weight of the cabinet is transferred to the ground. With the legs just applied to the outside I would not be able to look at it without worrying if the screws holding it up would one day fail.
Could cut a small quarter inch lip on the inside of the legs to support the unit !
Perfect! I'll soon be working on a project involving drawers. Can't wait to make one 'sneaky'!
Yes, awesome idea! Thanks for watching.
The split drawer is a great idea. If you had attached the slides a smidge higher, you could have hidden the seam between the compartments too!
I love the design, you are an amazing inspiration to all. Thank-you for always making great video tutorials.
Thank you so much!
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Great sneaky project. The magnets were a great trick. Love the legs and the finish!
Thanks so much!
Great idea for a small cabinet. Like others have said the drawer slides should be mounted higher to hide the seam. Also if you used full extension slides you would be able to access more of your hidden drawer. Nice work as always.
you are indeed sneaky--GREAT video April--thank you for what you do
Tim
Glad you enjoyed it
Well …. Now, I’d hide the rat traps under the “money”. We own an antique Dewey Decimal Library Card File made from solid oak. 3’x5’x2’ deep. About 60 deep narrow drawers. After 40 years those 60 drawers each hold their own “junk”. A vast array from Z to A. Mostly kitchen tools. Those file drawers have an adjustable back wall to keep the cards compact. Behind those walls … a lot of space. The entire cabinet when full of stuff weights so much , it anchors the house from tornadoes.
Awesome build and a multifunctional piece
Thank you very much!
Nice build! When I saw the legs on the outside, I kept on thinking you would put a shelf on them. Have good days!
Hi, April! Been subscribed for quite awhile to your channel. I'm a hobbyist woodworker to the point of addiction! I had a customer ask me a few months ago about building an end table that could conceal his "water gun." I told him I would think about it and see what I could come up with. Now I don't have to think anymore. Thank you!! ti auguro il melio!
Awesome! Enjoy the build Thanks for watching.
Yet again a fantastic job, thank you for sharing your cool ideas and designs. Really really nice. Love it.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful work unique piece of furniture well done April
Thank you so much!
Well done! Thanks for sharing, and thumbs up.
Thanks for watching!
Love the video April, but I may need to make a lot of these and of several different sizes for all the "Water Guns" I'll need to be tucking away! LoL 🤣😂
I love your design just the way it is.
I appreciate it!
April
Nice crafty idea.
Best David
I just finished watching your workbench video. It has Awesome content. I have subscribed and am ready to add your videos to my collection of "Fine Woodworking". Thank you for your time. Peace : )
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support.
That's some elegant sneakyness! Love it 😍
Thank you!

Very nice looks great! I like that design! Thanks 😊 🙏
Glad you like it!
That's pretty awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
It's beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Very clever!
that is such a cool idea!I would also want to add locks to the hidden compartments but also make them not visable
So cool 😎
April very nice design there. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you very much!
Always have some kind of latch to prevent doors (flaps) and drawers from accidentally opening unexpectedly (someone knocks over the cabinet, opens the drawer too far, etc... magnetic, push to open, 'child resistant', etc...
Ooo, I like that drawer! That's clever. I might have to attempt something like that eventually. Nice. 😍
You should! Thanks for watching!
A great build, April, thank you. I like watching your videos with my daughters. Can you tell us more about that GORGEOUS Powermatic jointer and how your push pads stick on the front surface?
Nice job on the sneaky end table April! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP
Thanks for watching!
@@AprilWilkerson Your very welcome April! Have a wonderful week!😎
I'm glad you wear a respirator. My dad was a custom cabinet builder for about 75 years, and he did not wear a mask. He developed COPD from all the sawdust he inhaled.
I'm very sorry to hear that. Sometimes I don't wear my safety gear and my viewers are really great at reminding me! I appreciate the concern.
Great work. Great channel. Thanks
Thank you so much!
"Where do I hide my sneaky stuff?" I'm thinking! Maybe in my sneaky spot! LOL Great video, April. I love these short builds, simple yet very cool.
Thanks for sharing. Felix
Thank you!
Only you can make a cabinet project FUN and “Sneaky” at the same time April. 😉
I'm glad you like it!
Awesome work!
Thanks a lot!
Looks nice April 🌷. Great job like always 👍
Thank you! 🤗
I was just going to suggest moving the slides higher to cover the seam. move the other slide on regular drawers as well to appear the same. Seems to be a popular suggestion.
Awesome design!
Glad you like it!
I was glad to see that you make mistakes (short screws) too.
Oh believe me, I make plenty of mistakes. :)
That's awesome
Love it💓
That's pretty slick. I like the fact that you did not edit out your oops. None of us are perfect but I have worked with some people who thought that they were.
Yes, I'm very open about my mistakes. Thanks for watching.
Luv the Phew Phew your supposed to play dead to cute
Thanks! It was so much fun! Thanks for watching.
I first I thought you asked "where do you hide your stuff?" Got my attention! Then I figured it out. The end table is beautiful. Love the Pecos portable table, got to check it out.
Yes! It was a fun build and glad you enjoyed it. The Pecos table is awesome. Thanks for watching.
The nice thing about those external legs is that if you need a little extra shelf space, you can put a board on top of them. Or, you can attach a basket of some sort.
You can improve your sneaky panel by replacing the magnets with a spring loaded magnetic catch that goes on cabinet doors. The type that when you push the door in, the door springs out. Then rather than having a finger hole, you could have a square panel that does not reveal anything.
Adding matching veneer to the back of the other drawer cubies will then make it not be obvious.
Ooooo, that's cool.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hi April, very cool your Project. 👍
Thanks so much!
