I made this DIY Nightstand with a hidden drawer to try my hand at a real secret compartment in furniture. This could be a cool concealment drawer and it’s hidden behind an epoxy inlay on the front of the nightstand. Figuring out how to make the secret lock was the hardest part, but it worked out and the spring loaded secret drawer is amazing!

Thank you to JET Tools for sponsoring this video
To be fair if i was breaking into your house i'd be taking the nightstand with me it looks awesome.
Brandon Grant creeep
Lol
Id have to pack all his projects with me before i could leave
Incredible design, finish & function - priceless!
I don't blame you. And it'll make you easier to tackle caring this heavy thing 😜
That is probably the coolest woodworking project I’ve seen anywhere. Awesome work.
YASSSSS! This build absolutely rules my dude! Well done and solid shout out to that handsome devil in there !
hello friend
Great now john is gonna build one with epoxy dovetails and tensegrity. BRAD STOP FEEDING HIM IDEAS
Now John has to build a similar piece with not one....butt Two!....hidden drawers on the upper drawer....with epoxy dovetails
I follow both channels and I think a Brad and John war would be awesome!
I can totally hear John's voice as I read this comment... Why can I totally hear John's voice as I read this comment?!?

I have major shop and tool envy 🤩It is very cool to see how you pulled this together. I was definitely about as excited as you were when it was time to show if the hidden drawer worked!
Everyone is gangsta until the robber is a guy that watches “fix this build that” videos.
Not if that nightstand holds a gun. Robbing is different from burglarizing. Burglarizing is with no one home and no harm, just theft. Robbing is using force or assault to steal.
Scout339 lol are we in our english class.
I learned english its my second language but thanks for teaching me the difference.
if that person is stealing my stuff ain’t nobody gonna stop me from potentially killing them
@@cynthia8036 Just run at them naked whilst screaming, even if they shoot you, it will give them crippling ptsd.
He probably installed a few traps that he didn't publish, like pushing this button now just opens a trapdoor in the floor dropping the burglar into a pit of snakes or opening a door, releasing 8 pissed-off rottweilers
The sheer joy on his face when he realises it works is impossible to fake. Love that - great video!
love how this guy doesn't always get things exactly perfect the very first time, it's like he's actually human (:
But what is a human really like?
Everyone does this, they just don't show it all
I love the way you are showing us the "Warts and All" ... Little mistakes and such as you figure things out... Really helpful to point out possible pitfalls one might encounter during construction🤔
your enthusiasm is palpable even through the computer screen!
Rewatching this video and the valet tray one as I prepare to build my 12 yo nephew a valet tray. Thank you so much for the ideas and potential pitfalls! Be well, and may you and yours have a wonderful New Year!
Dude. The look on your face when you get the hidden compartment to work is priceless. Well-done!
That came out so good Brad! Inset drawer fronts are a massive pain, and you nailed it. Nicely done!
Dude, when that top one fit first try I was astonished 😂😂 Thanks, Michael!
Inset drawers are like affect and effect...I avoid using them at all costs.
@@slightlycrookedworkshop - I feel like the english language has affected you in negative ways. One might even say it has had prolonged/lifelong effects on your way of thinking ;)

I watched you build it and I still don’t know how you made it work, it’s stunning…….I love it! Your face and the pleasure it displayed……….wonderful

Why is everyone talking about stealing his drawer, like count me in when are we ganging up on his house
I'm going after his toilet
Take me also😉😉
Let's also take the materials he used and other tools😁😁

"Perfect spot to hide your most prized possessions"
Rob Schneider on SNL, "You can put your weed in there"
I sure would put my weed in it
yeah I thought that too
I actually went looking for this comment.
“What’s in here?”
“DEFINITELY NOT WEED”
“Then what’s this?”
“WEED”
Oh, noes. I scanned this comment too fast and thought you said _Rob Reiner._ I was trying to figure out how Meat Head ended up doing a sketch on SNL in between directing gigs.
Hammering out that piece reminded me of that Don't Break the Ice game.
hahaha, that's exactly what my wife said!
I had the same impression and I am glad, that I'm not the only one :D
Ahahaha..
Omg, I haven't played that game in forever, you just hit me with serious nostalgia
Bro I was thinking the exact same thing😂
My Grandpa was a carpenter and he would build hidden compartments into his builds. I know of one large L shaped thing that has a fake bottom in one of the drawers and a small triangle detail in the corner of the piece pulls up to reveal a little cubby. My Grandma actually took my Dad around the house to show him all the secret compartments so nothing will accidentally be left when she dies.
I absolutely love how you show all of your mistakes. It really does teach us alot
The problem is that the nightstand looks so cool the whole thing will probably get stolen
lol..not until you fix that into places with some hardy unique screws
100th like
Phoby Tune make special nails and screwdrivers in the drawer and put in in the secret compartment
Ya
Ja’Crispy
They would have to empty it in order to carry it... and that's all they would get in the theft.
note to self: take whole drawers from Brad's house
hahahaha
lol
Take all.. most of them have secret
Killed it Brad!
the way he shares his excitement makes viewers like us also share the sense of accomplishment and pride when it finally all worked out.
Just LOVE this - the look, the hidden drawer. Watching you do it though I've decided I would fail miserably. LOL
Really appreciate the reality of a "meltdown" on camera. Glad to see I'm not the only one makes me believe I'm not a failure at woodworking! Cheers!
I agree. I subscribed as soon as I saw that.
You are an inspiration to all woodworkers! Thank you!
really appreciate that!
This is an awesome project! I literally made the same "WOW" face at the push of the button. I really want to integrate something like that in my next build! Thanks for sharing.
I've always been a fan of secret compartments/secret doors, and this looks awesome!
Me too, I have a bunch of secret places all over my house with loaded guns hidden.
@@kila4 Always gotta stay strapped/prepared!😂👌👍
first video ive seen by this guy and i have to say that is the cleanest woodworking shop i have ever seen.
i resemble that remark 😀
I'm blown away, this looks Amazing. So stealing this idea for the entire aesthetic of my gaming room.
Amazing build!! One thing I noticed... when attaching the rails to the frame, you're not using the tabs. After install drawers for years, I recently saw someone's YT video about why the tabs are there. You bend them out slightly, then use the screw holes on the end of the tabs only. It gives the rail the ability to handle up to 1/16" extra gap so you get a perfectly smooth sliding drawer. It blew my mind. There was an immediate 1000% improvement in drawer slide installations.
I think I understand what you're saying, but can you provide the link? I'm a more visual learner.
Christopher M, can u remember the name of the video showing the drawer slides ?
Whoa
Thanks for leaving the mistake in. It’s refreshing and reminds you that even the pros have things go a miss.
Superb craftmanship! .. excellent
The satisfaction of the button popping back into place is priceless!
Awesome nightstand!! I love it!
I love the fact that you add the people you reference in the video in the description.
I love you, you put diy and Chris ramsay together, you Are actually one of My favorite people rn (you Are perfection if you also like panic at the disco)
Love it man
thanks!
the "it works!" moment is always the best part
I would 100% absolutely buy this!
Ok, I was getting a little aggravated with you...seriously, what a tease...but, this totally lived up to the hype! Bravo.
Yeah, I wouldn't have teased so hard if I didn't think the payoff was worth it. Glad it was! :)
Oh 👁👄👁

Hi
When you said you were gonna keep your most prized possessions in there, I was fully expecting to see a signed picture of John Malecki in there. Great build.
it’s amazing how this high tech gear can achieve the precision you need and still be such a creative project, i think black resin would have looked more classy. i gotta say though, kudos to the japanese craftsmen who made the original puzzle boxes entirely by hand. WITH yosegi!
Lol love how excited you get when it works 👍 beautiful piece of craftsmanship
Genius. Master craftsman!!!
Imagine a thief seeing this video and decide to rob his house and knowing all the secret spaces
почему все думают сразу о воровстве? как то это все печально....
no, that's not what I'm planing at all. I just love wood and stuff... -other peoples stuff-
Incrível! Parabéns pela criatividade!
This was an amazing video. The night stand looks great and you did a great job with the color contrasting. I've seen hide away drawers and picture frames but I think you should really go 'out of the box' with a hide away cutting board and a spot for a knife. Like a knife block and cutting board all in one. You could even go all out and install a UV light for sanitizing them.
Your excitement is fun to watch
I am from Indonesia ,, and I am amazed by your ideas. Every item you make has its own artistic and selling value. Keep working and good luck.
OMG this is so awesome! Really love the design and man I was with you during those suspense moments when you weren't sure how the button would work. Amazing! Definity copying that when I (hopefully, within the next 30 years or so) start woodworking!
To be honest I was disappointed that the reveal of your secret hiding hole wasn't filled with precious candy. Otherwise, the night stand looks amazing!
My secret hole is precious.
@@paulmartin2348 ayo
I have a lot of secrets in my life, and hidden drawer just excites the heck out of me !!
Awesome video. I too love hidden compartments
Those drawer facing are freaking over the top!
"And one did not budge at all..."
"Wow that is not budging.. at all..."
Engineering 101, the simple option is often the best!
I'm not an engineer, I don't know if that's in the 101 course
That would probably some level 1000 course. Most engineers equate complexity with sophistication. Usually an engineer who uses the simplest and most efficient solutions is called a craftsman.
Pro tip for better releasing and pressing down the wooden button. Instead of making it 90 degree squared to the place where it contact the resin, add an slight angle to it. Like 1 degree extra would probably do it. So instead of 90°, it would be 91°. This way it would release right away from the resin as the contact surface area will just disappear. And also will push smoothly. Check some injection mould design, and you will see better what I mean.
What I liked the most was that you weren't afraid to admit your mistakes on camera n fixed them. New sub. 👍👍👍👍👍🦘🦘🦘🐨🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺
Cringe
Absolutely brilliant.
I watch lotta Chris Ramsey also and you’re right I like those little drawers hidden in plain sight
I did a night stand for my GCSE tech project and it had a draw that pulled down from the base of it that was on drawer runners and locked it was pretty cool, maybe you could make an improved version from some pictures
I've been looking forward to this so much :) the sneak peaks have been taunting me for days
Hope they paid off and the reveal was worth it!
I'm sold even without the secret hidden drawer.. 19:21.. looks so clean and sleek!! Awesome!
This is brilliant!
I'm impressed that you are also welding in this project. I love woodworking and I really love welding. I hate when I see a woodworker forcing wood into a project where there should really be some metal just because they don't know how to weld. Thanks for the cool project!
2:26 guess it’s true for wordworking too - “nothing good happens after 10pm” ;D
Looks great, with the false face you can't tell it's there (apart from the thousands of people that will see this 😉)
Let's hope none of them tell anyone :)
@@Fixthisbuildthat I won't tell. Promise 🤐
It's a decoy.
Fix This Build That I’m telling everyone
That's awesome, just now stumbling upon your video and work. Excellent and beautiful work.
love this, plus I love the Epoxy design, it SWEET
you ever notice how smooth the sticky notes are? like they always curve when I take them off the pad and his are just like ______________
When you take em out, dont go bottom to top. Grab a bottom corner and peel of the glue from side to side, that should keep them sticky notes flat
You did better than me with the mistake. I'm likely to not look at the project again for a month lol.
If Light Yagami had woodworking skills. Perfect to hide a death note.
still his secret drawer is on another level
Things may have gone a lot better for him.
Yes
Anime Geeks If his room was thoroughly searched, the searcher would probably look under things such as drawers, and therefore would see the hole in the bottom. He could then stick something the size of the ink part of a pen in and find the note. I just thought of that watching this video, don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner.
Light had to work hard to build his mechanism tho. I think I might make it. Minus the fire stuff
Cool to watch
especially at 2:09 in the morning
Beautiful project and well made. I have a quibble though. If it's a nightstand, it can't go to the left of the bed because the bed will be in the way. You would also need a fair amount of room on the right side of the bed to the wall for it to open.
Since the epoxy is kinda "deeper" around the secret Button its actually a lot darker and the secret Button becomes a lot less secret :D
Using a darker shade, maybe black may compensate for this
Could try adding more/larger/shallower wooden spacers in the gaps to help compensate for the change in color.
Less clear epoxy would help too
should have had the cnc go deeper in general, not like it would be any weaker once the epoxy was in
If I hadn't seen this I doubt I'd assume that was a secret compartment trigger button ;)
"Perfect spot to hide your most prized possessions"
thieves on youtube: interesting...
18:24 Damn that was satisfying to watch. Great job!
Maravilhoso trabalho de um Gênio...eu gostei muito.. parabéns...
Wow that's crazy that I went 3 years without TH-cam recommending me this video. That nightstand is insanely nice looking. The secret drawer just adds +100 coolness. Amazing job buddy.
I love how a youtube carpenter will say "it was fragile so i finished it by hand" and cut to a shot of them literally using an electric sander. Just because a tool is hand held doesn't make it a hand tool.
Ummm yes, it does. He's not using mind control...
@@2-scoops975 Wrong. In the trades you always differentiate "hand tools" and "power tools". Just saying...
He did do it “by hand”. He used his hands to use the sander
I felt like you were playing “don’t break the ice” game! It always gave me a little anxiety!
To be fair if i was breaking into your house i'd be taking the nightstand with me it looks awesome.
When he press the button and something came out and got censored, had me laughing
Unbelievably very nice I appreciate your work
Love how happy and satisfied you are when it worked !!🎉
Now lets be honest, no one stores their most valuable possessions in their night stand, i know what its for! :P
Lube!!
If it was texas it would be a firearm XD
Plan b pills
Teeth
If it was Canada I would have a SPECIAL type of maple leaf🌱 sniff sniff
I’d totally buy this, I could hide my journal from my brothers.
I was thinking of food or something lol
CheesyQuokka I was thinking weed tbh
Chris Ramsay: "I'll take 1 really big one for 30 grand"
Very successful technical project, congratultiion.
That turned out great, that Walnut plywood is nice!
'A place to hide your prized possessions.'
Or in a stoner's mind, 'You could put your weed in there!'
Isn't it the same thing?
@@LunarEleven Instantly what came to my mind when he said that xD
I would have loved that nightstand when I was a teenager. I had a lot of ummm, things I didn’t want my parents to know about.
Your strapons huh? Nah I know what you mean, I’d have all my paraphernalia in there
builds hidden drawer
**hides doritos**
actually I was going to put salt and vinegar chips in there with a Mountain Dew :)
Love the blue lines design
精巧的設計！佩服你。
When these mistakes happen I’m usually in my garage screaming f*** over and over again. I need help.
Nah man. Everyone deals with stress differently and even have different levels of stress for the same things so you do you
probably shouldn’t steal his drawer as I’m willing to bet he stores a 9mm in the secret compartment
Confirmed, he liked your comment
Thats a cool night stand. I would put my guns in there!
Wow, you missed the chance. I believe what you want to say is.
You can put your weed in there.
"Hold on, intruder, while I just go to the bedroom, press a button on a nightstand, reach to the side, and retrieve the item in which I will kill you with!"
Tony Wheeler haha
Tactical walls makes these nightstands for guns
La classe! Vraiment génial.
dude, that is awesome! i love the extra attention to "false face" on the hidden drawer. love the videos! keep 'em coming!
