- I show a new type of box I'm working on that features a spring open drawer mechanism. I also show a bit about how the mechanisms work.
Check out my website at : www.crypticwoodworks.com
I'm also on Facebook : / crypticwoodworks
And I sell products on Etsy at : www.etsy.com/shop/CrypticWood...
Very ingenious! I have been looking for something similar like this for hiding a firearm in a cabinet im making.
Great idea,I googled 'spring loaded drawer mechanism' and this was one of the recommended videos, I'm going to use this for a project. Thanks!
Thank you!! I just needed the springing mechanism behind it and couldn’t figure out how to do it! Such a simple idea. Thank you.
Janell Woodbury Glad that helped you. I’m thinking there are even easier and smaller ways to do this with a different spring.
This is amazing! please make more videos ! and yes, I would love to see the step-by-step for this particular box. thank you
tinkles 2 Thanks! I certainly intend to keep making more videos. I’ll keep you in mind as I do more.
Sweet! That you so much, you saved me hours on the drafting table
Excellent! I've been looking for this for months.
Gilbert Gia Glad that helped you!
Amazing, cheers for sharing!
Steve.... Thanks for the video! I was looking for something like this to do for a lid. Simple mechanics will work great. Thank you again!!
daimyo2k Thanks!
Very cool .
Yes please this is so freaking cool
Perfect! I'm gonna make a box that holds some tea, some cups and other tea related items and I wanted either (or both) a serving tray hidden in the bottom, or a cutting board... Although a cutting board might be a bit heavy, but I might figure out an other way to implement the board. Thank you! You've been a great help!
Lazarus_aap Thanks. I bet you’ll do great. Feel free to share what you make.
Really nice idea and work.
Thanks!
Amazing 👏
Very very nice
Hi,thank you for all your tips on drawer box all the best john (uk)
You're welcome!
I likey, very cool.
good job on zero dislikes!
Amazing work, I would love to se this project in detail, also these exstra rooms you mention, and see how all this fits together. so nice project you got.
I don’t always want to give away all the secrets but maybe I can do a build series for a one off box and give some ideas.
@@crypticwoodworks I totaly respect that... and it so good work you do, and of course it gives me ideas just looking at your video as well, again love your work.
Yesssss
Question: how has the longevity of the spring action been? Does it pass the test of time?
I would love to see how this was built. You have inspired me to make a spy / ninja themed room, including hidden doors, trip lasers and cryptic puzzle boxes.
+The Golden Radio Sorry I missed this comment from a while back. However, in that time I added a series on making spring open drawers. I hope that helps to explain all the basic steps. I often want to expand my creations into more furniture sized objects.
+Cryptic Woodworks thank you for continuing to Inspire... So glad there are still men like yourself giving back to the people
I have an idea for an interactive box but need help. Could I get your input?
This would be great for a #geocache. If the box has, say 7 numbered buttons with the same load on them and you need to press three buttons simultaneously to get the compartment to open (so four red herring buttons). Combine it with a clever puzzle to solve to get the combination, that would be a great hide. #Geocaching
Thanks for the comment. I've actually been thinking about this since you posted it. I like the idea and I might just have to look into it for a further build. I think i could make a customizable code too!
I would also like to know can I make that with out having the tools that you have
I have a Electric handsaw, angle grinder going to purchase tabletop bandsaw
I would love to make one for each of my grand daughters
Is there anyway you can design a two or three button sysytem
I am looking for something like this, but to spring open a lid to a trinket box, rather than a drawer. Would it work the same way, by just attaching it at a different angle to make the lid pop?
You should put on a false front and shorten the dowel in the back. Make it hidden so that pop out drawer is secret
Cool idea. I did this one mainly just for me and to get a feel for how the mechanisms worked. When I make more they'll be a bit less obvious!
You could shorten the dowel to end just beneath the floor, not drill a hole in the floor, eliminate the rear support for the floor; instead use the springiness of the floor to push down on the dowel.
@@dlwatib That would be a neat way to do it!
do you happen to sell them???
I haven't made more of this style of box, but I do have a number of other spring open boxes on my Etsy site at : www.etsy.com/listing/468066945/jewelry-keepsake-box-with-spring-open?ref=shop_home_active_3
These feature both a spring open drawer and the unique linkage hinges for the top. I have several of this style for sale.
the 7 thumbs down are from those that are still trying to figure out how the drawer opens
Lol did u really write that message to yourself? What did it say?
This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodprix designs.
Really? Like the easiest spring mrchanism... why it took you more than a day? I've been doing this for years and never took me more than a day or two on figuring out how to do it. I have several ways depending on sizes or purpose. All using same principle.
