  • Home Office Makeover Part 1: Office Cabinets with a Secret Compartment!
    These cabinets are step 1 in my Home Office Makeover. The top is a Black Walnut slab and the secret compartment is not visible unless you know exactly where to look. This was a fun build and I hope you can get inspired to build some cabinets in your office too!

    I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!
    I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage. I will share videos of my past, current, and future woodworking projects with the goal of getting you out in the shop making sawdust!

    Elaborate secret compartment mechanisms can be fun, but sometimes simple really is better. Secure and easy to implement on new or existing pieces.

    I agree! Secret Compartments are super practical and cool. I don't need to build any cabinets at the moment but this gives me an idea for some existing furniture. Thanks! Great video.

      Oddly "this" is how I first got into building cabinets as my friend was a "weed guy" and had lots of vinyl records so I made him a custom cabinet
      to hide everything for him...in my car there were also "void" spaces for my Glock 19 and extra clips...

      Indeed! Looks somewhat Glock-ish? A nice 17 or 19, or perhaps a 23 if you're a .40 fan? I have a variety and love to participate in the GSSF competitions.

    @stevemiller1159 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool, it's a candidate for another project sans the deluxe top, I think I'd choose hardwood or even a butcher block type top. I came up in the '70's, there were a number of things with "secret" compartments, oil cans, aerosol spray cans, etc... with a bottom that would unscrew revealing a small stash place.

    @snook3032 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just discovered this channel! Awesome. Question though….I watched your video on when and when not to use pocket holes. What is the reason you’re able to use pocket holes on the bottom shelf across the grain and more than 6 inches? Thanks.

    • @EveningWoodworker
      @EveningWoodworker  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I think what you're referring to is the bottom shelf above the secret compartment. That lower shelf is plywood so you can do pocket screws in any direction and it's pretty stable.
