If you want to go the more round about, and a bit more heist movie, for some odd reason (As that latch would definitely be the easiest option to attack) Deviant Ollam as a collab would also be a contender. An RFID Ripper, get close to the Neck Key, read and rip a copy of the code it holds, copy and paste into a new rfid chip and you have made yourself a second master key.
Uh, what about simple physical bypass? Just reach through the bars and take the phone out? I have thin fingers so probably could do that. If the cabinet isn't screwed into countertop you can just tilt it, the fish the phone between bars. Given most phones are under 1cm thick nowadays.
Love it! Cole asked the same question I've asked many times watching your elaborate builds...WHY? Though he asked several times, you never gave him a good reason. What a dad thing to do.
Haha! Unnecessarily withholding information from the people that it's your responsibility to teach and help grow into a happy and healthy adult. So funny!
A little tip for the screw drawer, when you dump them out, dump them into a shop towel and then put it on the bench. This way, you can sort and separate on the towel, and when you're done you just bundle it up and dump it back into the drawer. Added benefit, the screws don't really want to roll around on the towel like they do on a bench, so they stay put when you're sorting them.
He could also add different size holes into the drawer so it sorts the screws based on size while not needing additional draws. Something like a reverse pyramid shape but with square cut outs. The smaller screws would tickle down to the bottom, medium in the middle and large stays on the top. Just give it a little shake. Only downside is that if it is crammed then the effect won't work.
It’s more dramatic for the camera and identical to the way most of us do it most of the time so I can totally relate to his method here! Note that he did it for the comedic effect but your point is well taken, I shall remember this suggestion!
As a computer guy who has a much easier time working with electronics than my woodworking projects, this was a fun watch! Hope to see more projects that step outside of your comfort zone!
Loved every minute of this! More electronics in the mix please. And your son ... wanders in at the end and totally upstaged you. "Why not just check my search history?" Brave words.
This is by far my favorite episode/video of yours. Including your family from time to time only shows that you are not just having an UA-cam business, but everyone is engaged in it and makes you all more human and less "for this... do this". It was really fun to watch this one. Great job. Both of you!
You are truly one of my favorite woodworkers on UA-cam. My son is the same age as yours, and his reaction would have been the same. Your appeal to Norm was hilarious. Thank you for bringing in great explanations, narration, and humor to all of your videos. Highly enjoyed.
My favorite part of this video was how pleased you were with the project throughout the build. It was so fun to watch. And your son is so adorable. Great video for a fun build.
Man… I just love the relationship with you and your son. It’s something many parents and family’s should strive for. Not only are you a great woodworker (and tech guy) but an amazing dad too. Keep up the great work!
That was excellent, especially when you demonstrated to your son! I do appreciate that you frequently stated how long it really took, and that it was not just an afternoon project.
That father son time is priceless. Great build! Thank you for putting out dinner quality videos that inspire me to get out in the garage and make something 👍
That looks really cool... I would add a little spring assist to push the door open when the solenoid unlatches... The duty cycles on those are designed to be pretty short, and the less time you have it on, the less heat you'll generate.
First video of yours that I have watched. Fantastic project, however, I was blown away by your sponsor spot. Actually making your sponsor spot a non skipable by keeping entertainment in the background is such a great idea!
I worked in a walnut mill many years ago and we steamed the freshly sawn wood. It helps to make the heartwood and sapwood more uniform in color. The sap moves among the fibers and makes the color more uniform throughout. Your barn find obviously did not come from a conventional sawmill. There is enough color present in the sap to stain your hands a nice dark brown when handling wet fresh cuts.
I love watching you do your woodworking thing, but this was great. Stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying something new could be a blessing or a curse, but this was awesome. Can't wait to see how you might incorporate this kind of tech into a future woodworking project. Thanks!
Omg this is awesome. Your poor son! I think also your poor wife…living with an engineer can cause enormous stress. I can only imagine what you would build if she asks you to take the garbage out. You’re amazing and I love watching your videos.
Check out the esp32 instead of the nano. More pins, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Also heat gun over flames for heat shrink tubing. When soldering try to have a physical connection twisting wires instead of just placing near the other half to solder. Good job!
WHY? Because this is AWESOME! My inner (and outer) nerd and developer brain loves projects like these. I'd love to see a schematic for the board. I'd also love to see a better way to run wires to an arduino because I have a project like this with jumpers and I feel like there must be a better way to make the connections.
Great project. For 12v I would go with a mosfet module aka "mos module" Those electromagnet relays are not very safe in my opinion as I have seen them used in production environment with very bad results. You could also use a service like JLCPB or PCBWAY to easily manufacture cheap circuit boards for your electronic projects and I am sure they would likely sponsor you for a project if you ask them. If ever you need help with an electronic projects in the future, feel free to reach out
Love your jail. Built prefect. Your son's reaction was priceless. The cell phones will never escape. Your funny and a great craftsman. Norm knows all. 😊
Well, sadly his son didn't show creativity. Would've loved his face if his son would've just went to the kitchen, got 2 butter-knifes (or something similar, should be enough material in the shop) and pulled the phone out while the jail is locked ^^
This project was amazing!! Great video, Brad. I had a few good chuckles and got some great inspiration. Definitely would love to see more stuff like this.
This is a great Project youve got there! Plus you have found a nice way to implement your sponsors, this has been like one of the only videos where i didnt skip the sponsor's messages. Amazing work, keep it up!
I absolutely love Matt's channel as well as yours. If you could also get more-so into the tech side of things for mad projects like this... I mean, the more the better! Both of you are brilliant and such an inspiration
imagine your house is getting robbed and you need to call the police but you cant access your phone for another 20 minutes because you got it in the phone jail
"Try to open it when it's locked." [Proceeds to try to break it and is stopped] "Try to open it like a normal person." Being at work, I had to muffle my laughter.
I worked on legacy computer hardware from the 70s and 80s. There were a lot of screws and other little hardware and sometimes I couldn't find their original place. I used to hold all those little bits in a 90-dram medicine vial that I got some medication in. If I needed a screw or washer I looked in what I called my "Heavy Metal Drugs". I think I might still have that vial out in the toolbox. Great project. Love the RFID override.
You certainly have a more advanced woodshop than me but probably on a similar level in both interest and understanding of the electronics. Very cool project, I love it!! Thanks for sharing 👍👍😁
I love all your videos and seeing you getting into something you’re not as knowledgeable about, like electronics, is inspiring to those of us getting into something we’re not as knowledgeable about, like woodworking.
Very cool! Love the hidden hinges, and of course the retro sounds. One thing I think you should have added was the ability to wireless (or wired) charge.
This was a really awesome project! It is really retro but also techy! Just this little shout out you did for the perks guy gave me a crazy idea that one day when I have a shop I’ll take on. Good job man. It turned out amazing.
Very impressive build. Thanks for not short-changing your description of the electronics build. Some people under-estimate what a long process that is, even when starting with an existing circuit plan and code. If you do end up going down the electronics rabbit hole the most useful piece of gear to clean up your circuits would be a Bantam Tools desktop PCB CNC. Printing circuit boards is great if using surface mount parts; but for anything through-hole mounted, the Bantam is a game changer. After it mills your circuit traces it precision drills all of your components' through-holes. No I don't work for them and aren't sponsored by them. Solid project, I subscribed a while ago. 👌👌👌🤙
Nice build! One small warning though. I don't know if your circuit has a flyback diode for your solenoid latch, but if it doesn't you might find the relay gets stuck sometimes. This is caused by the inductor causing reverse voltage spikes which might cause arks in your relay, spot welding the relay contacts in place!
Nice Work! Consider cleaning your Tablesaw Blade once in a while! The Resin from the wood creates a ton of friction and so your wood gets burnt. Also the extra heat is not ideal for the lifetime of the blade. So clean once in a while and its like new and you can use it for much longer.
Not only as a woodworker, but also as a high school teacher who has made a phone jail, this is so wonderful! I just put a small padlock on mine. This is much cooler!
Beautiful, fun, Creative, classy wood/electronics, hilarious and the best part.... Fun with your son, Super Mario, and the "RFIDad" Key. Made my day, Thank You!
1. This project it s totally cool! I have a couple of grand-nephews who's parents coud use one of these to lock up the Minecraft controllders! 2. No, you are FAR from the only person with a bin of miscellaneous screws & bolts. In my collection, all are the "wrong" length, or diameter, or thread count. 3. The Forstner drill bit you used for the hidden hinge recesses (at 9:40) has a red shank. Does that signify anything? (manufacturer, special purpouse, an expecially dangerous bit, "it's mine!" or something else?) 4. This is totally cool! 5. The majoity of my worklife involved working with or on electronics, but it seems I did a brain wipe when I retired, because now I havet look up many things that I'm sure I never needed to. I guess that may be one reason i now spend my time turning large pieces of wood into scraps, shavings and dust, hoping that something interesting will accidentally happen. :-} 6. Im surprised that you son did not recognize the notes from Super Mario games. I'm in my 70's and I recognized it!
1. I saw a plastic version of something like this, looked like a jail cell at five below a few years ago. Since then I think you could probably put "cell phone jail" into Amazon and come up with at least five results.
If you want to make the display digits really pop out, put a piece of coloured plastic in front of it. Match the colour of the plastic to the colour of the display. the plastic will mute the view of the display module itself, and make the lit segments really stand out.
That is just about the coolest piece of wood tech I think I have ever seen! Seriously, you could market this to parents all over the globe! Awesome job! 😃
Nice touch with the Mario countdown and the nope message. I like that you are branching out to include electronics. That can be a beast to tackle and implement m
When you tell him to try to get into it and he is about to rip the brass tubes out I kinda snorted laughter. Does give you an immediate example on why the county jail opted for more than walnut and soft tubes. But truly, awesome look, fit and finish, and well done on all the electronics. Be proud.
Very cool. The only thing I would do is connect a tens unit to the bars so if they touch the bard they’d get a small shock. Just connect every other bar to one polarity and the opposite bars to the other. So if they try and stick their fingers between the bars they’d complete the circuit and get a small jolt! 😂
Wow! Such a fun project and terrific video. Vintage Bob Clagett. My path was in reverse: started playing with Arduinos over a decade ago and that led me into wood and metalwork to build enclosures, platforms, etc and now build more furniture than robots. But this project makes me want to dust it all off.
Love your projects Brad and this one is again top notch! Beautiful job. But I have to admit the screw bin hit home with me. You were spot on with the problem of always being one short of what's needed.
11:42 Yup, I have had to start a randoms bin for screws that have no family home. It can't be coincidence how the control panel is lined up a specific way in reference to the bars.. I can see why he fussed with the layout.
You'll love this video too!
I Built a Nightstand with a Hidden Drawer - ua-cam.com/video/Zrjp_F5FSjo/v-deo.html
Didn’t like this one
I think Cole should collaborate with the Lock Picking Lawyer. The locking mechanism looks vulnerable to a simple shim attack. 🙂
A strong enough magnet should release the solenoid too but that might be harder than you suggested solution in certain cases.
If you want to go the more round about, and a bit more heist movie, for some odd reason (As that latch would definitely be the easiest option to attack) Deviant Ollam as a collab would also be a contender.

Any plastic card can open that "lock", it's not a deadbolt.
I think this is the best you have produced. Your sons reactions are priceless. Absolutely do more with electronics integrated into the woodworking.
Being a son at least three times the age of this one I concur: "Why???"
Love it! Cole asked the same question I've asked many times watching your elaborate builds...WHY? Though he asked several times, you never gave him a good reason. What a dad thing to do.

Your sons reactions, priceless 😂 . Absolutely do more projects with electronics.
A reciprocating saw will fix you issue. No RFID needed.
Or just unscrew the four screws from the back of it
I'd just be proud seeing him use a Sawzall 😂😂
C4 works every time.......just sayin......
speaking of bombs why do the electronics look like a time bomb at 14:06
@@danholt5991 because simpletons think, apparently, that anything with wires and a clock is a bomb. I guess. You've seen too many movies 😂😂

It's hard to explain how much I enjoyed watching you build something that I will never, ever make!?
Hahah... "but WHY" ???? :) As a dad, I loved it!
Only thing that I miss, is for the door to pop open a little bit when the unlock button is pressed.
This was such a joy to watch Brad! Thanks so much for making it! Bring on the electronics!
thanks, Jason!
I appreciate a guy that just spreads the glue with his finger instead of wasting a roller or a brush like most of these channels.
First video of yours that I have watched. Fantastic project, however, I was blown away by your sponsor spot. Actually making your sponsor spot a non skipable by keeping entertainment in the background is such a great idea!
I love this project. Blending woodwork with small electronics is awesome. Keep them coming.
I worked in a walnut mill many years ago and we steamed the freshly sawn wood. It helps to make the heartwood and sapwood more uniform in color. The sap moves among the fibers and makes the color more uniform throughout. Your barn find obviously did not come from a conventional sawmill. There is enough color present in the sap to stain your hands a nice dark brown when handling wet fresh cuts.
This was EXCELLENT! As a software engineer, I beg you, please do more projects that involve arduinos and micro electronics!
Absolutely a wonderful video. I especially liked when you presented it to your son. Wonderful job!!
amazing! I love seeing multiple hobbies used together to create things. woodworking, electronics, programming. now just throw in a little epoxy work.
I love watching you do your woodworking thing, but this was great. Stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying something new could be a blessing or a curse, but this was awesome. Can't wait to see how you might incorporate this kind of tech into a future woodworking project. Thanks!
This kind of project is right up my alley: woodworking plus Arduino. Keep it up.
thanks!
Looks cool! Still... I;d say that the LCD kind of breaks the immersion a bit. I think that a nixie tube "display" would look so much cooler :)
Everything nixie tube looks nicer, but this LCD screen is what, 10 bucks? for that you can only look at nixie tubes, and not for long :)=
Missed opportunity there. Need to have the bars give a mild shock (a la electric fly swatter).

Version 2 is then made out of steel with walnut verneer as a decoy to withstand the brutal force of desperate teenagers.
Looks like you could just slide a card or thin piece of metal (pop can side) in the front to press down the latch allowing the door to open.
