Thank you for this video on 2 counts. One, thanks for supporting the second amendment, and thank you for the video on how to build a nice piece of furniture.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Thank you for this video, Matthew. I purchased the plans and made this coat rack for my Son in Law for Christmas! As I'm typing this I'm looking across my workshop at this finished project and have to admit a small amount of pride in completing this, my most ambitious project. Please keep the great videos coming!
Thanks Matt. I just finished the garden trellis and now i'm going to give the concealment shelf a shot. You have been very generous in sharing your knowledge!
I just finished constructing this build. Nice piece of furniture. Easy to follow instructions. Only problem is my long gun doesn't fit! Measure what you plan on concealing before building!!
Thanks for the great idea for a home based wood working business. My wife is happy with your design for the concealed gun cabinet and coat rack. She can't wait for me to build one for her. Amazing job. Thanks for the encouragement, plans and build list 👏👏👏👍
Thank you for what you do. I have been really getting into wood working and I greatly appreciate your willingness to teach. Your not in it just for the money, you seem to genuinely want to share the knowledge and it shows.
Starting my woodworking business after 15 years of being an “employee”.. I was making a list this morning of everything I can build that people would buy, including hidden gun furniture lol. Hop on TH-cam and there this is. Great video, might buy your plans!
You're welcome Craig. I try my hardest to do videos that folks want to learn from. I had never intended on selling plans either... but people were asking for them. Then I realized that not everyone learns the same way...
Absolutely dig your humility and candor... Shit happens so just roll with it... Excellent attitude... Mistakes happen. Move through it and keep rolling.
Matthew, I'd just like to say that I've started watching your videos and I truly am enjoying them and I really appreciate how you show how to build all of these item's and your encouragement on building and selling them. Great job, and keep up the great work and videos. Thank you!
Great build!!!! Something to consider, adding a gas strut shock to make the door spring open upon being unlocked to make items quicker to be accessed. Also given a coat rack is generally at eye level or higher, you may want to design it so the door flips up.
@@sinsofvorador I was also thinking that adding the strut would be necessary. Great suggestion about creating the door to flip up. Great video, and suggestions.
since its coming out and down alot of people wont use a shock as it might come down too fast and hit you. But yes, having it flip up would be a great design too.
So awesome. This is exactly the type of inspiration I was looking for in my next project. Love your videos… and even how you point out your own mistakes- cause we all make them!
I ordered the bundle drawings for the coat rack and the shelf so I can physically have those in hand. I think you’re great Mathew keep up the good work and FYI I’m 52 years old but I picture myself when I get closer to retirement age really getting into this as a substitute income thanks a lot buddy take care !!
Dude! Thank you so much. I built a version of your idea, and it's PERFECT! I built it specifically for my 12 gauge. All I have to do, is reach out with my right hand, and shotgun in hand, I tell the prospective intruders (including DPD), to leave or die. It looks like a trad coat rack, but it knocks open at a touch. I KNOW, it's not kid friendly, but all my kids are grown and gone. Seriously, thank you, bud.
Right on Matt, I was hoping you would make a newer version of this video,Like David said I am too starting my own woodworking Biz on the side and hidden gun Storage,Mantles etc are definitely on the top 10 list that people are always asking about,Keep up the good work Matt!!!!!
Very cool build. When adjusting that RFID latch. You could put some two sided tape on the pieces like the magnetic locks. Get the position right and then drill and screw.
Really great build. I got to make me one of these for sure. I enjoy watching your build videos, you do a great job of narration and describing each step.
Love the remark around 14:30, not to get down on yourself when you make a mistake, cut a new piece. Accidentally cut both side pieces 45 degree on 3 sides instead of 2 for the floating shelf build. Wanted to give up, after all, that was 1 of a few occurances that set me back today, but I kept fkn going. Thanks bro
Another great one! I love your enthusiasm and giddiness when you talk about/use the card readers!! That alone makes me want to buy some and just randomly hang them throughout the house... ha ha! Thanks for the time and effort
Thanks Matt, with a baby on the way I need to build one of these!! I’ve always kept my rifle in the closet ready to go but with my first kid I want to be safer!
I've built an entire cabin with no plans, I should be able to build a box with a door. I'd like to mount one of those by the front door. Nice work! Well done video.
I watched your video and It was very cool. Easy build. I learn by watching. I have an AR-15 and I was wanting to build a tactical concealment coat hanger. In this day and age there are crazy people doing home invasions. Two weeks ago someone kicked my door in just when I wasn't home. Luckily they didn't steal anything of value maybe the suspect saw my headlights when I was coming home. Now I definitely want to make a concealment firearm coat rack. I'm pretty sure the burglar will attempt another break in. Possibly break my bedroom window. I have my AR-15 mounted on my wall in plain view, but I need concealment coat hanger so the burglars won't find my two firearms hidden.
Just wanted to note about the cheaper version RFID lock, which recently I finally pulled the gun to complete this project but had an issue with the latch and as Matt states give them a call and I did and received good input from Jeff Walker from Lock Connection and he was very helpful to work out my problem even though I created the issue. Just thought I would give a shout out on this project and Thanks again Matt for the inspiration. I would post a picture to show it off but not today.....
Thank you for the shout out! We do our best to help people. We are a small company and we mainly only supply products to the concealed furniture market.
I made the concealment shelf as per your previous video. I looked at the RFIDs but in a pinch I figured someone would want something simple and reliable so went with the magnets. If it can fail…it will. When you need it most. In my head the RFID might fail. I also found a 6 inch tactical red LED motion activated light so when the shelf opens the light goes on. But damn that foam is expensive!
We have been supplies this RFID lock for over 15 years now. They are very reliable. However, they are electronic so they will eventually fail. Just like most vehicles, something will eventually fail on it. We also have Red, and blue LED lights.
I wish I could make something like this. This is so cool. I’m not much of a handyman at all and I’m terrible with projects and stuff. I tried making a birdhouse once and let’s say I learned that I should not be near tools 😅 but I’m glad other people can make these things and I can just buy one that’s safer for everyone lol 😂
Awesome! Great job walking through the build and "esplaining" things in a simple manner. I want that depth gauge/sliding ruler you kept using. I didn't see it in your Amazon list. Can you share? Thanks!
Think I'm gonna go build one.... Only change I would think to make is to make sides wider and have the door inset to the sides so you cant see the seam. .... thanks for the video though.
I like the design, but I’d suggest using shocks to push the door up so that shorter people aren’t needing to reach over the door to access the hidden items. NOT criticizing, just an observation. Love your videos and your willingness to teach.
2500 subs since last video. Won’t be long till you get the play button! Better be thinking how your going to display it. Doing a great job on the video’s.
I'm curious why you didn't leave the back unattached till the very end. This would allow you the ability to do the lock without "trial and error". You can then attach the back with pocket screws making it more secure. Plus, with the RFID lock, in case the battery does go dead, you can then take off the back and change the batteries. In all, AWESOME build. Keep up the good work!!!
I'm not sure if I didn't hear you correctly but on the build when you list the the dimensions for the door you state 43 1/8 when the cuts list states it's 43 1/2. Just a FYI
One suggestion: "highly" recommend the door itself have a layer of plywood overlap the doors' frame, like you suggested to cover the pocket holes. But more importantly for strength and ease of mind. Because the 3/8 panel can easily be punched in like it is.
I just finished building this, how do I send you pictures of it? I'm pleased with the way it turned out, and it's because of the easy to follow plans, and great build video you made for it.
First I would like to thank you. You are very inspirational and give me a lot of motivation in my little shed. I’m making one and am almost done. I wanted to put gas struts inside to help it open. What do you suggest.
Love this. I watched it several times and have a question. Is there a reason that you couldn't wait to attach the back last? Wouldn't it make it easier to install and adjust the hinges and locks?
I had a pretty good question. That card reader is battery operated? If so when battery dies do you have to break shelf to open? Is there some kind of manual release? And if it’s a wired one and power is out ??
I love this style. Ive made a few shelf style concealment ones, but im definitely going to do one of these next. Thank you. QUESTION . with the child locks(white ones you show) if you loose the magnets that come with them you can always use any strong magnet to open it. What happens with the rf reader when the battery dies? how will you override and open it. (sorry if you covered it in the video, maybe I missed it)
The magnets you can use a strong magnet like you suggested. On the RFID lock, when the battery starts to get low, it will beep multiple times when scanned indicating that the voltage is low. If you dont change out the batteries before they get to 3.6V, it will auto unlock.
The magnet and RFID options present an issue in my mind but I love the overall idea. Nice work sir! I have been learning a little about using splines in miter joints but still unclear on when to use . Curious...if this wasn't a prototype, would you lock in the miter joints differently? Hope your week is going well!
This was exceptional. My only question is how would I cut the foam? Also, each cabinet needs to be tailored to fit the customers guns/knives/ magazines etc. How would I go about doing THAT?!🤔 Its not like the customer will drop off his guns 😂... and if Im selling them at flea markets and craft fairs, I need to show an example, right? How did you cut yours? 🤔
Hi, with using the other hinges I am having problems keeping everything flush. If I line them up to connect then when folding the front back up, the bottom divider piece is no longer flush with the bottom of the front piece. Insetting the hinges seems to be the only way to keep these flush unless I’m missing something. Thank you for everything you do!
This is awesome! Please excuse my ignorance about guns, but wouldn't you need to make a custom foam insert for different different types of shotguns, rifles, etc. or would one size work for most?
Yes. That's what he meant when he was talking about the foam, and the customer cutting it to fit, gluing in, etc. But this doesn't have to be just for guns... let your imagination flow!
P.s. It's easy to cut the foam to fit, but it should be snug except wherever you are most comfortable grabbing whatever item it is. If it is a knife, there should be some finger holes at the handle, for example.
Is there anything besides the foam holding the shotgun in place? Since it’s a vertical surface and a shotgun (and even some handguns) is pretty heavy, I want to make sure it stays in place. Looking forward to trying one (or more) of these.
they make heavy duty gun magnets you can try instead of the foam, which may be better /safer way to hold a shotgun or an AR. I know the foam makes it look better and you could get away with using both if you want to or just cut the expense of the foam entirely and just use the gun magnets.
Was thinking while watching the lock installation, would it be easier to get the lock installed if you waited to put the beadboard in until after doing the locking mechanism?
Nice Concealment but for Me the Large Upper Panel and it's Depth, draws My Attention to there being more Space that needed. Wider (deeper) "Side Walls" would help some to hide the Depth. A Chalkboard, or Magnetic Galv. Sheet-metal Panel, for refrigerator magnets, a Pen & Pad of Paper, with some sort of Cute sign, would give the Large Flat Panel "purpose." And have the added benefit of obscuring the depth problem.
What kind of plywood do you like to use for furniture builds. There are a lot of options in my area and trying to figure out what is a good material with a good face for an ok price. I say ok because the price of a 4x8 sheet of plywood is almost $60 in my area! Also how did you adjust the hinges? You didn’t unscrew them and move them into new holes did you?
Hey Matt. Great video. Love your work and detail. 1 question. For the door. Are the top and bottom boards for the door 43½ which is what it says in the description or 43⅛ like it says in the video?
Awesome Video, I love your videos. I am buying your plans!! I was wondering if there was I way you could open it from the bottom, and use the same dimensions? Thank You

Awesome! Thank you!
Nice job, I've seen this in the background of your other videos, glad I found it.
This is a great project well done, for sure I'll make me one and with your permission I'd like to make some to sell at my craft shows

lol thanks man.
I like this better then the shelf. Walmart sells shelf for $99, so it's tough to get a good price for those in my area. Thanks for the video. Awesome!

Rad build my friend. I appreciate your content and may have to make on these in the near future.
Heck yea! And no worries! Make a few if your going to make one. :)
Awesome! Great job walking through the build and "esplaining" things in a simple manner. I want that depth gauge/sliding ruler you kept using. I didn't see it in your Amazon list. Can you share? Thanks!
This would be a nice topper for a hall tree/mud room bench.
Great build & I appreciate the details!! Looking forward to building this to see if it sells in my area!

Imma build at least one, the concealment shelf is cool but i realy like this
Nice work. Thank you
No worries!
So cool man!! Love it!!
I prefer the biometric latch, you always have your fingers on you!
I'm curious why you didn't leave the back unattached till the very end. This would allow you the ability to do the lock without "trial and error". You can then attach the back with pocket screws making it more secure. Plus, with the RFID lock, in case the battery does go dead, you can then take off the back and change the batteries. In all, AWESOME build. Keep up the good work!!!
Gorgeous and love the design, thanks
Great stuff 🎉
Great video man!
Awesome stuff. Subscribed
This is a great project. But I'm thinking about running sliders for the compartment instead of a hinge. I think it'll be pretty cool
I'm not sure if I didn't hear you correctly but on the build when you list the the dimensions for the door you state 43 1/8 when the cuts list states it's 43 1/2. Just a FYI

Whose going to know what that is lol. And if that's the case and they know why not pull it off the wall
why in the world would anyone even touch that panel? This makes no sense.
its not designed to be a gun safe

Thanks Ryan! To be honest I wouldnt for this build. Once the wood glue dries Its not going anywhere. Theres no real force that would cause an issue.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworkingGotcha that makes sense. Appreciate the feedback!
How about tips for cutting the foam? Bevel the sides of the openings, maybe?
Nice job. Sucks how expensive lumber is these days. Killin me.
I know. The fuel prices are driving it back up.
This was exceptional. My only question is how would I cut the foam?

A compartment to store... foam. Nice way to avoid demonitization lol
Can there be a gas piston added to this build like on the concealment shelves. Great videos, thank you

Wider (deeper) "Side Walls" would help some to hide the Depth.
A Chalkboard, or Magnetic Galv. Sheet-metal Panel, for refrigerator magnets, a Pen & Pad of Paper, with some sort of Cute sign, would give the Large Flat Panel "purpose."
And have the added benefit of obscuring the depth problem.
What kind of plywood do you like to use for furniture builds. There are a lot of options in my area and trying to figure out what is a good material with a good face for an ok price. I say ok because the price of a 4x8 sheet of plywood is almost $60 in my area! Also how did you adjust the hinges? You didn’t unscrew them and move them into new holes did you?
I use alot of birch ply. Its not cheap but stains well. The hinges adjust on the hinge itself. just turning some built in screws.
You do great work! Any plans on end tables/ night stands?
Not yet. I actually have some end tables in my line up!
Hey Matt. Great video. Love your work and detail. 1 question. For the door. Are the top and bottom boards for the door 43½ which is what it says in the description or 43⅛ like it says in the video?
Awesome Video, I love your videos. I am buying your plans!! I was wondering if there was I way you could open it from the bottom, and use the same dimensions? Thank You
Yep! I would incorporate a gas strut for that. I think I may do a video showing the different styles and cool add ons.
I might make this but I would put a acrylic mirror in the part in the middle on the front door part
Heck yea! Get creative!
