EP. 32 SECRET COMPARTMENT BOX

Today on Modern Builds I'm building a walnut secret compartment box with some help from my friends and BRUSSO Hardware. The design was inspired by watching other secret compartment boxes from youtubers like Dustin Penner. Thanks for watching and don't forget to check out BRUSSO's website.

STEP ONE: SQUARE AND SMOOTH

I ran my piece of walnut through the planer and the table saw to square everything up.

STEP TWO: DADO's

I cut three dado's on one side of the board. One for the lid, one for the bottom, and one 1/8" dado for the bottom of the compartment creating the space for the "hidden" drawer.

STEP THREE: CUT IT UP.

Next I cut my miters for the box making sure to maintain proper orientation for grain matched corners.

STEP FOUR: MAKE THE DRAWER

I marked and cut out the face for the drawer on the back piece on the scroll saw. then I used scrap 1/2" and 1/8" plywood to make the rest of the drawer using simple construction.
