So I really had to do something for my closet, all my electronics where all over the floor to the point you couldn't walk in it. So this is what I came up with. Didn't draw any plans, just took the tape measure to figure out dimensions needed and started cutting some wood. What I thought would...

Pictured: Men's valet box, this box is made from Walnut and Pecan, I wasn't sure how the combination would turn out when I matched these two woods together, doesn't seem as though I got the contrast I was really wanting as it seems they blend in to much, I'll chalk it up as a learning...

Sometime concealment is the best protection. If a thief doesn't know somethings there then they don't know to take it. That is what I've done with this headboard. I like to call this the Covert Sliding Bookcase Headboard. I built this one in October 2017. What I did was to start with a...

Name: Pawed, Canted Box with an Attic I made this one as a gift for a recently retired friend of mine. We worked together for more than 25 years, often having breakfast together to start the day. I'll miss the work partnership, friendship and woodworking discussions. He prefers a radial arm...

In September I mocked up a Jewelry box with a secret stash area in preparation to build some Christmas gifts http://lumberjocks.com/projects/53713. The first shows the beginning. I built a press to bookmatch some Walnut burl veneer #2. It was my first attempt and each box got a little better. By...

A friend of mine who is a Detective wanted me to make a gun safe for him and left it up to me to decide what it looked like. I figured everybody has a clock, so it wouldn't be obvious. I put a hinged door on the front for a little fake-out and used Soss hinges for the hidden compartment, so the...

My sister wanted a pendulum version of the gun safe for her bedroom (she has several pistols). Pretty much the same as the others I listed. The last pic shows that the Soss hinges work pretty well.

I used the pattern put out by Douglas Kremer…here is the link to his original project: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/49966 I resawed some 1/4 inch walnut and then sanded it down instead of using a planer. After that is pretty straightforward with the bandsaw, disc sander, and scroll saw...

Pictured: I made this jewelry box from the log of dark walnut leaving it in it's natural state along with the primitive and natural looking lid, this box offers a pull out tray along with a false bottom door leading to a hidden compartment, to open the false bottom door you simply push down on...

This project was fun to do, and a bit challenging getting the hidden compartment to function perfectly, and be inconspicuous. I used African mahogany for the dresser, and baltic birch for the drawer sides and the rear compartment. For the color, I had to match an existing piece of furniture so I...

This little box has a secret, compartment that is… I lined the bottom of the box with scrap wood (1 and a half inches tall). Then I covered another piece of scrap wood with red felt. The felt covers the piece that lays over the scrap wood, creating a false bottom. I did not put scrap wood on one...

This is an oak bed that was designed by a customer. They took a standard flat panel headboard look and stretched it out to 8" deep. They wanted the middle grid to become a small bookshelf with LED lights. They wanted to leave the grid above the shelves flat. I came up with the idea to use...

I took some time off my regular projects to work on a prototype nightstand idea I've had planned for quite some time. A nightstand that has a secret compartment to hide that secret item, if you know what I mean! This design is based on a Mission style but with a secret, a hidden compartment...
