Actually yeh. This would maybe be better if it was titled how to make a escape room/safe room/hidden room. For those purposes I like the idea. And great for hide and seek 🤣
"Yeah... Nothin' to it..." 😆 I've worked as a journeyman carpenter and drywall installer, amongst other things, which use these skill sets and I can appreciate the amount of enginuity and patience, as well as just "building stuff" that went into this. Very cool. If you use the available hardware to stand off the drywall from the framing as well as put a thin foam liner between the double drywall on the one side, you can truly sound proof (within just a couple DBs) that room. Depending upon the design of the (or "your") house, if the loss of depth in the room vs the floorplan/layout as you move through the house, the fact that there's a hidden room may not be immediately perveivable and with a little more effort, an actual "safe room" (add outside ventilation and separately supplied "water closet") could be a viable idea. Even without the plumbing, it could be a viable place to fortify (with supplies and maybe a radio/phone setup) and you've got a "where'd they go!!??" room in case of a home invasion situation. I have a "defensible" if not hidden room in my house that's got ventilation, a bathroom and is my CB radio base station hobby station. If the power and wifi and phone lines all go down, a battery backup supply and my radio setup means I'm always able to get in touch with the authorities and other people, no matter what. The radio communications setup today has a lot of small, inexpensive equipment available that's great in case of a true emergency. Cool project guys...
don’t know if i’m more confused as to why youtube recommended this to me, or why i watched the entire thing. LOL great video tho, i really want a secret wardrobe room now
YES I LOVE THIS! I found you through the secret room behind a bookshelf video Edit: just wanted to say thanks for the likes, also I'm definitely going to use the techniques these videos have taught me to one day make a secret room of my own! Thanks Bob! 😁
lol it's kinda the other way around for me. when he was talking about the arduino, I understood it more than when he was talking about the studs and trims, etc
Esp8266 or that specific model NodeMCU v2.0. Nice little wifi boards. Only about £8 for 2. I have one hooked up to my computers motherboard for remote power on and off.
God if I owned/ had the money to build a house I'd probably end up with the entry hall, and then no visible doors, with just all secret doors and hidden rooms. I'm certainly mad enough to try that.
I've been to a house like that, it had stood empty for many years but had previously been owned by a carpenter with waaay too much free time. Half of the house was completely sealed of, crooked corridors not going anywhere, hidden doors everywhere, a hidden second kitchen, a tunnel between the bathroom and one of the bedrooms, a flight of stair built just to take you up to a small room with a secret door, that led to another smaller steep flight of stairs straight to the basement etc etc. Pretty weird. He had also had about 12 cabins on his property, all different size, shape and condition.
I agree with the previous comments. It's cool to see josh in front of the camera. You guys all make a great team. Thanks for the awesome content as always. Looking forward to future projects.
Someone needs to hire you guys to build an Escape Room! Between this, the secret room behind the bookshelf, and the Globe puzzle, you're already part of the way there!
Imagine being their guest, sitting on their bed when this man just walks in and says he needs to get something in the wardrobe. He walks in and closes the door behind him. After awhile the guest becomes suspicious and opens the door. And the man has disappeared
Nice job. Like the drywall blade for the saw, haven't seen that before. Also, like the magnetic switch. Only concern is the light and ventilation for the hidden room!
I've been glad to see Josh's increased involvement in the videos over time. It's nice to see his office decorated with things from his military service, especially that extensive coin collection. My son and I, without fail, watch every video together when they're posted. I'm deployed right now though and don't get to do that, but I still make sure I send my wife a link to every new video for him. He and I will talk about every new project on the phone. I just wanted to say thank you to both of you guys for continuing to think up such awesome projects, and thank you for taking the time to make the videos.
Very cool project, it give me lots of ideas!!! Just one little thing though... The way you weld your wires is far to be the good technique to have an efficient join. 1- You need, in order, to have them stripped to expose the same length on both (all wires needed to be weld) 2- Then you position them one over the other in opposite direction. 3- You twist them to make a join that will remain in place for the welding. 4- You put a little bit of welding tin/lead on your iron tip you apply to your wires to make a good heating contact. 5-As the heat is transferred to the wires from the iron tip up the the little bit of welding, you can finally stroke your welding tin/lead on the exposed wires all over it, it will melt and the contact will be perfect every time. Yeah I worked in electronics for years. Still you do awesome jobs in your projects!!!
Imagine being a guest in the guest bedroom and you have to pass into the office.. like... "Never mind me, just going into your closet... I'll be back later.." and the guest opens the closet and your not there...
You missed a perfect opportunity to add some sound-proofing insulation to that wall but you covered it up with two layers of drywall which doesn't do squat for sound proofing.

Also I don't know what passes for a proper electrical installation in th USA, but for me as an electrician working in Sweden, the only correct part of that electrical installation was the spotlights in the roof. That stuff you guys did in the wall, loose wires and having soldered connections loose in the wall and not in a junction box, just scared the crap outta me. But then again, it is all up to the house owner on what he accepts in his walls I guess hehe. Otherwise a pretty awesome job!
Hi, I'm making a secret room with triple drywall to deaden noise. Then I'm cutting a bloody great hole in the wall to let the air in. So much for noise reduction. Good job though and a great way to make a secret room.
It's really inspiring to see this company you've created grow like it has over the last couple years! Love seeing Josh take the reigns on some videos and can't wait to see where you guys go next! Great work!
If you want to create a wall that is a sound barrier, use 2x6s for header and footer (not 2x4s). Then use one set of studs for the sheetrock on one side and install a different set of studs (not touching the other studs or the sheetrock on the first side) for the sheetrock on the other side. Weave insulation between the studs. Sheetrock on one side of a wall normally collects the sound vibrations from that side, transfers them to the studs that are common to both sides of the wall and makes the sheetrock on the other side a sounding board for those vibrations. Doing the above eliminates the common studs and virtually eliminates the sound vibrations that come through the structure of the wall. Also, I noticed that you cut a ventilation hole through the sheetrock on both sides. Sound is going to come through that hole like there is no wall at all. To reduce sound, use separate ventilation runs for the two rooms. And you will never get rid of all the sound because sound vibrations will run through your common concrete floor. The carpet will help, and thicker carpet/underlayment is better, but be prepared for some carry through.
@@Book-Gnome My experience has shown that a stud finder is almost as effective as using the Force and your Jedi training to sense the location of the studs.
I was thinking the same thing about adding the vents. When adding the lights on the soffet they could have tapped into the trunk line and put its own vent and return in.
What I'm curious about is why the wall is empty inside? For sound deadening you can put some foam-like material, no? Is it because of some safety reasons I don't get?
Thats what I was thinking to, you will easily hear someone on the other side through the hole in the wall , possibly see light as well. Also should have put some bats of rockwool in the stud bays for sound absorption.
Okay then you all build a room like this, and we can come in and mock your ideas. Really folks the whining about this project shows that no one has the balls to actually do this themselves.
Then bring the internet to its knees weeping by smearing melted crayons all over it. I've heard that's the no-no of all no-nos when working with nice wood. 😂
@@prima164 Kind of hard to be thankful, respectful, or show reverence to people who are obnoxiously loud and try to "force" people to be thankful for things they might only tangentially benefit from, *indirectly.* Even if you're right, if you're an insufferable dick about it, nobody's going to want to give you any credit. TL;DR: America tackles a lot of problems, but it doesn't solve *ALL* problems. Humility, friend. Learn some. If you went through basic for any of the branches you'd know that one of the first things they drill out of you is arrogance and unearned pride. Either you probably didn't serve, or you didn't listen and learn well.
We have a bar/restaurant (Fox Glove) here in my city (Wellington, New Zealand) that has a secret walk through wardrobe, you end up in a little cocktail bar lol. I remember staring at it like, how random it was to have a giant wardrobe right there until people walked out of it lol. Cool vid 😎
I don't know why I watched the whole thing since I have no technical/manual skills whatsoever and I would never be able to do this stuff. Goes to show how clever and well-made this project was that this video was entertaining to watch (it also led me to subscribe). Congratulations, guys! But also, I was stressed the whole time about you not wearing protective gear -- glasses, gloves, face masks, especially with all of that saw dust! And on top of a carpet! You guys are brave! 😂
By far, one of your most expertly explained, photographed, and presented How-To's! If ANYONE gives you grief over this one, their nuts! That Dremel tool is a must-have for any DIY'er. This came out even cooler then I expected it to! Thanks guys, GREAT job! Eric, central Florida
I love when you make secret rooms! It's such a fun thing. That's a neat trick to set the depth of the plunge router to the exact depth of the hinge. And I really could have used that Multi-Max when I was hanging drywall a few months ago! Great build and video!
No one would ever find you...also this would be a really cool two truths and one lie! Oh I have a secret door in my wardrobe...but then people would want to see it so maybe not
This is a good motivation/inspiration project or what we can do with a much-loved armoir that we don't any longer have space or a need for. I've always wanted a secret room, so, the armoir, which has a fantastic woven wood door, will be the entry to my closet sound booth!
Btw. I did learn a few things. I am a project guy myself but haven't messed with any low voltage magnetic lock setups yet so that was cool too see. Love the video. Just wish is was more accessible for guys like me who don't have a $10k tool budget.
Pick up a tool now and then and eventually you will have a 10K tool set. Even if it's just a couple wrenches every couple weeks. You will be amazed how many tools you have after a couple years.
Two things: 1. ditch the screw stop, cut a hole for a track and use T nuts + the works to make an adjustable saw stop 2. When you're doing stuff like this, to avoid damaging the ceiling and making more work for you + because this isn't structural, put the top board and bottom board first with screws, then add the vertical elements.
this would be pretty easy to do. even if you just have a spare room, you just put a wardrobe over the door and build the door into the back wall of the wardrobe. an exercise in pointlessness but it’s cool lmao
OMG!!! I have ALWAYS wanted a secret room behind a wardrobe! Of course I am a huge CS Lewis fan. I would want it made with a apple wood and it would have to have lion head hardware on it. I would have fur coats in it. That would be perfect.
Unforseen consequences: You sleepwalk into the closet and the A/C is on full blast with the lights out, meaning you went to Narnia at the absolute worst time to go
So Cool!!! I Love it & Admire the Creative Thinking behind it! What's even more Amazing is dreaming the thought up, and actually doing it. Very Cool! Very Cool!
If you have enough time to move and hide, plus what. You gonna let some dumb robbers ruin your mental sanity and overall safety instead of shooting them?
Bolby I was thinking exact same thing: home invasion. Reminds me of that movie...think it's Panic Room. But other than that or storing all my gold treasury bars ( haha), anything I own of value fits in a safe deposit box for 60 bux/yr. What's the point here?
Awesome idea! I am curious how you could do this concept with a doorway from one room to another room. I am thinking a nice wood bookshelf that is set into the existing doorway. The bookshelf would be set into the opening so that when closed, it would be flush with the outside drywall and open outward? Would the latch or locking side have to be beveled to clear for opening? I am not much of a Carpenter so any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@triforceblader03 adding a vent isn't going to do much, it'll allow for air to enter.. But there isn't enough airflow to circulate throughout the room. This is why you dont build an extra room without connecting the AC to the new room.. Imagine being stuck in a room with no air flow besides for the tiny ass vent.. It'll be stuffy as fuck.

I was definitely wondering about that "hmmm that doesn't seem legit" 😂
Haha I was gonna bust bob on the same thing, I knew he had because it worked but it looked kinda sketchy in the edit!
Also I don't know what passes for a proper electrical installation in th USA, but for me as an electrician working in Sweden, the only correct part of that electrical installation was the spotlights in the roof. That stuff you guys did in the wall, loose wires and having soldered connections loose in the wall and not in a junction box, just scared the crap outta me. But then again, it is all up to the house owner on what he accepts in his walls I guess hehe. Otherwise a pretty awesome job!
I was thinking the same thing lol, I said hold on, did him put both wires together? Now I read the comments I understand lol
Hi, I'm making a secret room with triple drywall to deaden noise. Then I'm cutting a bloody great hole in the wall to let the air in. So much for noise reduction. Good job though and a great way to make a secret room.
Came here to say the same thing. :)
It's really inspiring to see this company you've created grow like it has over the last couple years! Love seeing Josh take the reigns on some videos and can't wait to see where you guys go next! Great work!
If you want to create a wall that is a sound barrier, use 2x6s for header and footer (not 2x4s). Then use one set of studs for the sheetrock on one side and install a different set of studs (not touching the other studs or the sheetrock on the first side) for the sheetrock on the other side. Weave insulation between the studs.
Sheetrock on one side of a wall normally collects the sound vibrations from that side, transfers them to the studs that are common to both sides of the wall and makes the sheetrock on the other side a sounding board for those vibrations. Doing the above eliminates the common studs and virtually eliminates the sound vibrations that come through the structure of the wall.
Also, I noticed that you cut a ventilation hole through the sheetrock on both sides. Sound is going to come through that hole like there is no wall at all. To reduce sound, use separate ventilation runs for the two rooms.
And you will never get rid of all the sound because sound vibrations will run through your common concrete floor. The carpet will help, and thicker carpet/underlayment is better, but be prepared for some carry through.
This video entered the realm of science fiction when their stud finder actually found a stud.
lmao i was thinking the same thing. i need to get one of the stud finders they have!
LOL I don't own a stud finder and thought to myself "wow those things actually work?"
@@Book-Gnome My experience has shown that a stud finder is almost as effective as using the Force and your Jedi training to sense the location of the studs.
i asimov honestly, just knocking your wall is more effective than a stud finder 99.999% of the time 😂
I knew of a stud finder that worked... Well...the stud ended up being a dud....so she had to work.
The router hinge mortise may be the most important thing I learned. It was like I had just seen a magic trick. 😊
ABSOLUTELY!
I definitely filed that trick away for later!
Seriously! I've hung all of the doors in my house now, but for the future, that's how I'll be doing it!
Reckon! That was my big takeaway too. So simple, once someone shows you how.
"If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, just hire an electrician."
But remember, three may keep a secret when two are dead. ;)

Imagine having a guest staying over and not being able to use your office
Or just walk through anyway like it's no big deal while they stand there like WTF?
What the other door in the secret room?
Ummmmm my office is my guest room? I have a sofa bed in there so every time I have a guest I lose my office. That’s pretty common I think.
Bob and his friends are superheroes building secret pathways to their HQ
I’m curious, if the walls were made to deaden the sound then why put vent covers on both sides with no duct work?
Because this whole project is mickey mouse
I'm guessing for air flow. If he's in there for hours, running a pc could get hot and not having fresh air would be no good.
@@anthonytheaker9060 I think the issue is any idea of sound deadening is completely out the window.
I was thinking the same thing about adding the vents. When adding the lights on the soffet they could have tapped into the trunk line and put its own vent and return in.
What I'm curious about is why the wall is empty inside? For sound deadening you can put some foam-like material, no? Is it because of some safety reasons I don't get?
Doesn't the pass thru vent kinda defeat the soundproofing? You will hear everything thru that vent.
Thats what I was thinking to, you will easily hear someone on the other side through the hole in the wall , possibly see light as well. Also should have put some bats of rockwool in the stud bays for sound absorption.
@@crossmr yeah and a hollow core door. 2 sheets of sheetrock was a total waste with that vent. Still cool idea for a room though.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Still a cool room though!
Vent is essential for a secret room - helps the good-guys hear what the baddies are planning, it's regulation spy-movie stuff 😎😁
Okay then you all build a room like this, and we can come in and mock your ideas. Really folks the whining about this project shows that no one has the balls to actually do this themselves.
How angry do you think people would have been if you used some of Josh's impressive walnut inventory to build the wall? 🤣 Great video BTW!
EvanAndKatelyn I should have built the wardrobe out of walnut and painted it. The internet would explode
I was also admiring that HUGE STASH of hardwood in the background of those shop shots... TWO WALLS of it, geez louise, Josh!
Then bring the internet to its knees weeping by smearing melted crayons all over it. I've heard that's the no-no of all no-nos when working with nice wood. 😂
Tim Sway has shown that walnut looks best when painted silver. Not the classical choice for furniture....
hi hi hi hi hi hi
Omg guys I’ve cracked it!
I think he really likes to make stuff
whatt no?! lol
No way. I don't believe you.
YOU LIAR
Do you have any basis for this conclusion?
no WAyYyYyY brOooOO thats epic
6:03 - the drill hole through the center of the knot was oddly satisfying.
What a legend, how legendary. i gotta do this
Great job on this project. To Josh, Welcome Home and thank you for your service. UH-60s rock!
@@prima164 Kind of hard to be thankful, respectful, or show reverence to people who are obnoxiously loud and try to "force" people to be thankful for things they might only tangentially benefit from, *indirectly.* Even if you're right, if you're an insufferable dick about it, nobody's going to want to give you any credit. TL;DR: America tackles a lot of problems, but it doesn't solve *ALL* problems. Humility, friend. Learn some.
If you went through basic for any of the branches you'd know that one of the first things they drill out of you is arrogance and unearned pride. Either you probably didn't serve, or you didn't listen and learn well.
We have a bar/restaurant (Fox Glove) here in my city (Wellington, New Zealand) that has a secret walk through wardrobe, you end up in a little cocktail bar lol.
I remember staring at it like, how random it was to have a giant wardrobe right there until people walked out of it lol.
Cool vid 😎

This Idea Came From The People Who Hid During WW2
I don't know why I watched the whole thing since I have no technical/manual skills whatsoever and I would never be able to do this stuff. Goes to show how clever and well-made this project was that this video was entertaining to watch (it also led me to subscribe). Congratulations, guys! But also, I was stressed the whole time about you not wearing protective gear -- glasses, gloves, face masks, especially with all of that saw dust! And on top of a carpet! You guys are brave! 😂
By far, one of your most expertly explained, photographed, and presented How-To's!
If ANYONE gives you grief over this one, their nuts!
That Dremel tool is a must-have for any DIY'er.
This came out even cooler then I expected it to!
Thanks guys, GREAT job!

I love when you make secret rooms! It's such a fun thing. That's a neat trick to set the depth of the plunge router to the exact depth of the hinge. And I really could have used that Multi-Max when I was hanging drywall a few months ago! Great build and video!
He should've put a fake outlet on the wall to cover it up that much more.
Or a real outlet?
Awesome idea guys. Love it. Going to steal all these ideas for my wardrobe. THank you 11
Plot twist: Hi Im Bob and I like to make stuff. Today we're building Josh a secret surveillance room to monitor his guest on the other side

@@BIZZIB3ATZthat's too far
@@YukonK9 sorry...the basement is probably the best place for the sex dungeon anyways easier to soundproof......

Actually god is the hide and seek champion. And probably always will be.

Damn you stole my joke before I said it
This is a good motivation/inspiration project or what we can do with a much-loved armoir that we don't any longer have space or a need for. I've always wanted a secret room, so, the armoir, which has a fantastic woven wood door, will be the entry to my closet sound booth!
Cool. Instead of measuring for outlet boxes, I just use the crayon/lipstick trick. Also for sound proofing, why not also insulate the wall?
Them: We have to soundproof this room by adding two layers of drywall.
Me: I should just add soundproof insulation in this wall.
Was about to write the same.
Ikr?
@maggie198333 Of course I'm a looker so let's keep it real. lol
Is it too much to ask for both
Cut a hole 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter between each pair of studs, at the top of the wall, and spray cellulose or foam into the cavity with a hose.
Btw. I did learn a few things. I am a project guy myself but haven't messed with any low voltage magnetic lock setups yet so that was cool too see. Love the video. Just wish is was more accessible for guys like me who don't have a $10k tool budget.
Pick up a tool now and then and eventually you will have a 10K tool set. Even if it's just a couple wrenches every couple weeks. You will be amazed how many tools you have after a couple years.
Two things:
1. ditch the screw stop, cut a hole for a track and use T nuts + the works to make an adjustable saw stop
2. When you're doing stuff like this, to avoid damaging the ceiling and making more work for you + because this isn't structural, put the top board and bottom board first with screws, then add the vertical elements.
Love the magnetic lock!! Secret rooms are always fun to build
"Mommy! Where's daddy?" - "Just hiding in the wardrobe again."

DUDE, you just blew my mind with that router depth trick! How have I never thought of that?
He's a pretty smart guy
who watches these but never do them?
Why would you do this lmao
No one
Dude you can't do this with your Phillips screwdriver YOU. NEED. TOOOOOOOOLSzz
Izzy Dizzy
Of ALL the things you've watched in your life, how many of them are of the things you actually do?
this would be pretty easy to do. even if you just have a spare room, you just put a wardrobe over the door and build the door into the back wall of the wardrobe. an exercise in pointlessness but it’s cool lmao
OMG!!! I have ALWAYS wanted a secret room behind a wardrobe! Of course I am a huge CS Lewis fan. I would want it made with a apple wood and it would have to have lion head hardware on it. I would have fur coats in it.
That would be perfect.

You sleepwalk into the closet and the A/C is on full blast with the lights out, meaning you went to Narnia at the absolute worst time to go

I have been trying to figure out how to properly adjust the depth of my plunge router for so long. Thank you for that tip!!!
Awesome idea! I am curious how you could do this concept with a doorway from one room to another room. I am thinking a nice wood bookshelf that is set into the existing doorway. The bookshelf would be set into the opening so that when closed, it would be flush with the outside drywall and open outward? Would the latch or locking side have to be beveled to clear for opening? I am not much of a Carpenter so any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's great to see Josh take a central role in this video. Nice job guys! The ILTMS team ROCKS!
Josh: Well I want a Secret room
Bob: granted but we will make a video about it with over 1 Million views...
well it covers the cost
Wait a sec, you doubled the sheet rock for soundproofing but then add a cross vent?
They aren't that bright.
I mean they need to breath right?
@@triforceblader03 adding a vent isn't going to do much, it'll allow for air to enter.. But there isn't enough airflow to circulate throughout the room.
This is why you dont build an extra room without connecting the AC to the new room.. Imagine being stuck in a room with no air flow besides for the tiny ass vent.. It'll be stuffy as fuck.
well that can easily get remedied by installing another room temperature sensor for the HVAC system
not to mention they put the wall on top of the carpet.. if you're going to do it why not do it right?
Oh my god! I love you and am so happy i found your channel. I used to watch your fb reel things, but fb sucks.
