Carpenter Brian Grabski needed a place to hide… something… and built an exceptional concealment method into this custom bookcase. To open the compartment, you first open all the drawers at once, and a pin pops out of a concealed location. You then turn the pin, which activates the mechanism, and opens the secret compartment. Now personally, I went with the briefcase stuffed under the bed to hide my porn. It was portable, and more or less secure for the casual snoop. This is way more serious than I ever was about it. And really, much cooler.


The carpenter's site looks pretty neat too...

Very very clever. Not sure I'd find that even if I was looking for it.

Now everyone knows where his stash of Harbor Freight coupons are hidden.

Very clever though.

Bill, over here in the sun

I wonder if he got the idea from NT2. For some reason, I love both of those movies, and I'm not a Nic Cage fan.

Drawer is a little small, but once the top is on and the desk is finished, no one will know it's there. Cool!
