[HRK2012XYZ]

Great idea to create custom space!



[noooooobica]

I thought this was for minecraft!! I feel stupid lol!!!

[MRSketch09]

Oh man, if you wanted to have the upper hand on hide and seek, that would be the house to do it. They would never find you.

[bamabonsaiguy]

Great idea putting the hinges on the rear of the unit. This allows it to rotate AWAY from the front trim.I was wondering how to do mine. Thanks

[sommerbrandon]

let's play hide and seek at your house! I call secret attic!...maybe I shouldn't tell you where I'm hiding...I'll be under the bed...

[apollo45365]

But will it blend? It is actually very clever. Nice idea.

[666music666]

thank you for the reply, I have taken a screen shot of the questions so I don't lose them. I haven't had time to check the loft/attic above yet mainly because of all the junk =) but all in all very good/useful tips, Thanks, also when it's all done I will post a reply video showing my progress.

Interesting Lightsaber... Is that Yoda's?

[666music666]

I see you comment/reply a lot to people so here goes, I have a bedroom that I'm converting into a cinema room and moving my bed into the spare room, the spare room has a wall that joins onto my cinema room and I was wanting a bookshelf door like this.

there isn't a doorframe/door there so I'll be removing part of the wall, I could use a little help, 1. how do I make sure it's not a "supporting wall" 2. how do I hide the hinges? and 3. I want to "pull a book" and it's attached to a pulley system

[phillipswoodworking]

@666music666 Those are some excellent points/questions.

1.) A load bearing wall or supporting wall distributes the weight of the area above. So, what's above those two rooms? Can you access the area to inspect the space? If you can, then you are going to look for the joist to run parrallel to the wall that you want to break through. If the joist are running perpendicular then chances are the wall is carrying the load of the joist. Let me know if this helps.

[phillipswoodworking]

@666music666

2.) The hinges that I use is a piano hinge and can carry a fair amount of weight but be weary in your shelf size, as they get heavy fast. Check the weight allowance on the hinge that you use and do some math to figure the weight of the shelf. Typically a 4x8x.75 sheet of plywood is @50#'s.

The hinges themselves will be hidden inside of the opening on the back pivot point of your cabinet.

[phillipswoodworking]

@666music666

3.) Use a gate latch to secure the cabinet/hidden door to the wall on the opposite side of the hinges. There should be an area that has a predilled hole for an attachment or cable. You might have to drill a hole in the strike or catch. Attach the cable's other end to your book.  A little trial and error will help you with the length of cable you will need.

[TomKaren1994]

If you're a "master craftsman" why do you have to caulk ANYTHING?

[phillipswoodworking]

@TomKaren1994 - wood is a material that shrinks and swells with the relative humidity and the temperature. by using a caulk, it allows the wood a space to grow and shrink without causing damage to piece.

[drewbal]

very nice



[phillipswoodworking]

@drewbal thanks



[Oreobun3900]

Looks Wierd Cause Theres Stairs.. Then A Walkway.. And A Random Bookshelf..

[BUBBASAX98]

I need that door

[JefBoz6622]

Sweet, opening to the inside makes hiding hinges better. I'm trying to figure out the locking mechanism, that's Stealth... I give this project a 10. Good job boss.

[phillipswoodworking]

@JefBoz6622 Thanks!

[noble6andchief]

cleshe much

[Eamsaart]

Awesomesauce!

[christopherhicks82]

not a secret anymore

[sbv5220]

Do you use custom hinges to support the weight of the door and objects on the shelves?

[phillipswoodworking]

@sbv5220 I use a piano hinge that is available at most home improvement centers. try using the longest hinge that they have available for your projects.

[kinder4420]

very nice, well hidden and well constructed. This has been the best secret passage I have found yet on youtube......good work

[phillipswoodworking]

@kinder4420 thanks!

[JayDee973]

can you go back in time and save anne frank?

[phillipswoodworking]

@JayDee973 funny one

[westrebel89]

Awesome Craftsmanship, and the work blends very nicely with the surroundings as a hidden anything should.

[thehaber9]

[grizz474]

Why don't YOU send ME some money for no reason, and tell your friends to send me money too.

[phillipswoodworking]

@grizz474 Trying to get rich just like everyone else! begging for $ didn't work. Still working to pay the bills. :(

[tantricia44]

I want a hidden bookshelf too! Don't know if anyone can build 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.... in my house! Wahhhaaa I wish I knew how to be a crafts person!

[grayso2011]

AWESOME



[fattony123082]

Ann Frank would have loved this...

[PokemonB02]

I got here from minecraft .-.

[dw691000]

very cool! Is there some type of special hinges that u have to buy for this?

[phillipswoodworking]

@dw691000 I used piano hinges to carry the weight of the door and stuff on the shelves. You can find them at your local home improvement center

[aLinuxTV]

[Gedankenbaukunst]

[phillipswoodworking]

@yomeezie1 Piano Hinges. You can find them at your local home improvement center

[watchforfinger]

[vincent7520]

Once the guy's inside you just have to cut off the supply power and that's it …

Excellent music ; maybe a little overdone for this type of vid, but so much better than the horrendous musac we hear on 99% of You Tube videos !!!!…

[phillipswoodworking]

@vincent7520 Thanks - I will try to tone down that music and of course loose the begging stuff

[loveweeddude420]

i would grow weed in there

[wendy5640]

OMG i want one of these so bad so i can hide from my dad when he comes after me o.O

[wesleypipes120]

[elbowonfire]

[AqwFightex]

[tropicxthunder]

[DrPepperKid14]

[somewherewaiting1]

[adog8]

[latinlingo]

[Rapidpanda1st]

I would love to have one of these in my future house and never tell my kids about it...then when they are like 20 be like: Hey kids, your childhood home you grow up in? yeah, it has a secret room *click*

Im sure the look on their face will be worth the 20 year wait :)

~Frosty.

[stickmedia1]

@Rapidpanda1st I just thought that exact same thought creepy

[12health]

[toty052502]

If i paid some one to do that to my home but smaller round about how much...?

[phillipswoodworking]

@toty052502 really depends on where you live. But in Atlanta something like this may run over 500.

[Bolt892]
