Here is one that I designed. It is a false top panel inside a cabinet. It locks with a steel nail inside a drilled hole. The hole is loose enough that if you hoover over the top side of the cabinet with a magnet you hear a click, the pin pulls up and unlocks the compartment.

Nicely hidden! Did you have any reference before learning the skills of creating hidden compartments?

I built a hidden drawer into my daughter's dvd shelf
That was a fun project to work on. One of these days I will make two more for my youngers daughters.

I remember reading about it in fine woodworking. Christian Becksvoort has an article about secret compartments in one of the online articles. There are many ways to disguise them. I especially enjoy the ones that are in eyes view. The secret is sitting right in front of you but you have no idea it’s there. It does that quite a bit of planning while you are designing.

Do you have the link for those articles that Christian Becksvoort wrote?

Try this.

In the latest copy of Popular Woodworking is a nice looking entry way table with a hidden drawer. Check it out.

Defiantly some good ones here I have really been enjoying the reads, and learning about the different methods involved.

If your still interested, I was reading some of my old Fine Woodworking mags and they did a write up on secret compartments. I am heading to the shop now so I will get the issue number for ya…..
