- Hello! Working on a custom desk for a client and they wanted a secret drawer. So, I had to figure out a convenient mechanism for opening it. This is what I came up with! Thanks for watching!

I'm your client, thanks for showing everyone in the world my secret drawer.
Ha!!
I'm the guy who broke in and stole the money and jewels you hid in that secret drawer.
You probably want to attached a metal corner bracket to the outside corner of your desk so the wood does not get torn up over use and add a piece of metal to level that it rubs against. Creative idea!
That's very ingenious. I like that you couldn't realistically open the secret draw by accident.
Thank you! Yes, that was a must in my book. That way only people that know how to open it can access it.
What a brilliant idea!
Thank you! And, thanks for watching!
I LOVE builds like this. Good job.. 🤠
Super cool stuff 😮 and hand and mind created on the fly . MS RAU gotta look 👀 at their antique safes and hidden draw compartments stuff. Give you ideas . MS RAU is the finest stuff in world . Great historical mind candy for such boxes safes desks etc. I just subbed you 👍🏼
Thanks!
Clever idea for a hiden drawer. I hope i will learn a lot of from this chanel.
Thanks for watching!
Very clever. I can’t imagine how long it would take me, but it would be as expensive as the house it went in !
Ha!
Amazing.
Thank you!
That’s awesome, thanks for explaining how you made it!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
This is awesome. Whenever I need a spring I use a thin strip of wood with a tapered block on the end.
Thanks! Now, go escape from NY.
That’s really interesting I’ve been thinking of making a box with a secret drawer I wondered how to go about it this may work on a small box brilliant idea love the channel keep them coming
Thanks very much! Yeah, give it a go and let me know how it works out for you!
Wow! So cool!
This is awesome! What an ingenious idea, you obviously have a good grasp of engineering also. Well done man!
Thanks very much, and thanks for watching!
Really cool!
Thank you!
Great job man, I'm sure there was a lot of trial and error figuring out the mechanics. Very impressive
Thanks! Yeah, it was quite an ordeal turning the idea into reality. Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
Very cool. Great idea
Thank you!
This is awesome!
I like it a lot. I think a little wax on those wooden parts will smooth out the future operation.
Yep! That'll be done before delivery!
Brilliant!
Thank you very much!
I like the mechanism, but it's pretty obvious that is a drawer front. Maybe you could try concealing it a bit more on a future project.
Brilliant 👍🏻
That's pretty awesome.
Thank you! And, thanks for watching!
amazing job!
Thank you!
Super cool! Great intro music too ;-)
Ha!
really cool!! great job!!
Thank you!
I would love to have the time to learn how to do this, pick up discount furniture at the local thrift store, add secret compartments and then drop them back off in the donation area with a note in the secret compartments to let me know people found them.
Very nice idea! Thanks for watching!
Class
Fun project but not sure how practical it would be. Imagine the cops having a search warrant and finding this desk. It would be apparent that there are potential spaces that would not be accessible by just pulling the center drawer. In reality, they might start breaking things to answer any questions that they may have.
absolutely love this, where would a beginner start to do home projects like this?
If you are a complete beginner to wood working I'd start by learning how to use basic hand tools and then try to build something simple, like a stool or a box. As you get used to more advanced techniques you'll be able to make more complicated things, like my desk!
@@TenonsTenors thank you for the reply. apologies for the delay, just been going through emails now
Neat set up 👍
Thank you! And, thanks for watching!
Dude! Wicked Brilliant! . . . can you make the rotating closet shelves from the Kurt Russel/Goldie Hawn movie _"Overboard"_ . . . its the one he builds on her Yacht . . . I think you might be the only person I've seen who could actually build this (the one in the movie is just a gimmick/prop).
Thanks! I'll have to watch the movie again... Haven't seen that one in decades.
So ingenious
Thank you!
In a non-weird or mean way, you sound exactly like David Strathairn. I knew the voice sounded familiar and had to look up his name, but it's uncanny.
Thanks....I think.
thats really cool
Thank you! And, thanks for watching!
Any chance you drew up plans for this desk? And want to share?
Sorry, I only make simple sketches of the things I build so I can remember fine details. The rest I figure out as I go along. Thanks for the interest though!
Somebody actually asked for something like this? I`d like to know if this is your first job, or is this more common? Also, cool mechanism!
This was the first time I made a secret drawer, but it is not my first custom furniture commission. Thanks for watching!
As this mechanism is on RUclips, it's no more secret now. Everybody now know how to open it up.
Ha!
you don't know were it is.
Noah....? Is this NOAH VOSEN. I swear this is him, didn't know Noah makes secret compartments in his spare time.
Ha!
I would love this what is the rough cost
You probably wouldn't love the cost. This desk was a custom order made of all ash with mostly hand tools with the exception of the lathe for the legs. For materials and time I had to charge about $2,000.
Will there be panels underneath to disguise all but the actuator switch?
I was thinking about installing dust panels but decided not for two reasons. One, the client had a very small budget and I already went way below my hourly rate to finish it. And, two, if the springs break, or something else guess wrong with the mechanism I want to be able to access the under side easily.
@@TenonsTenors I see your logic. It's unlikely that anyone would look underneath the desk anyway.
I feel like the other side needs one too.
I was thinking about that but the mechanism would have been even more complicated to keep both drawers from opening at the same time.
why is the wooden pin and the block angles verry agressively
Not exactly sure what you're asking, but the two drawers are parallel, so the mechanism I developed was at right angles to both drawers. Perhaps there might have been a way to angle certain mechanisms in a way that made operation smoother, but I was not thinking about that at the time. This is what I came up with! Thanks for watching!
The now...not so secret drawer.
one rule woodworkers have forgotten today
if your making secret compartment furniture for someone
DONT SHOW IT TO THE PUBLIC
what is wrong with people these days
its ment to be a private secret for the customer
nice work though iv been trying to figger out ho to do this myself
just stop showing us someone else's secrets that should be theirs only on how the draws work
kurwa jakie zajebiste
Not a secret drawer anymore...
Ha!!
Exactly. I also made the same view, without seeing your's.
So what's going in the secret drawer? /s
It's a secret.
No secret any more.
