With the average burglar taking just 8 to 12 minutes inside a home or apartment, hiding away valuables in unexpected spots around the house can make the difference between losing something and losing everything of personal value.
I beveled the edges of the 1 x 3 a couple of degrees to allow for easier, bind free closing. I built this drawer first and used a cheaper knock-off soft close drawer slide. It is much stiffer to open and does not open fully even though it was advertised as being full extension slides.
I remember watching the movie "National Treasure, Book of Secrets" and being intrigued by the Resolute Desk with the secret compartment and combination lock using the desk drawers.
I wanted to incorporate something similar to keep the hidden drawer locked. I wanted the locking mechanism to be simple and purely mechanical without using springs or cables.
The design I came up with uses nothing more than some levers, bearings and gravity. I pressed on some bearings that I had scavenged from an old set of roller blades that fit tightly on the dowels. I counter sunk and screwed the wedge on to the table's inside using screws with a smooth collar near the head so that the wedges could pivot freely.
A small trapezoid shaped cam screwed on the left side of the top drawer and right side of the second drawer will momentarily lift the bearing causing the wedge to drop away from the cleat.
Where the cam is mounted on the drawer determines how to position the drawer for unlocking. I started by sanding the table with grit sandpaper and followed up with grit until everything was smooth.
Sanding is my least favorite part of the project although I love the feel of a piece of wood after at has been worked with some fine sandpaper. They dry fast and have no odor, however, because they are water based they did raise the grain in a few areas. I smoothed these out by lightly sanding the areas with super fine sandpaper. Next, I added 3 coats with light sanding between coats of General Finishes water based Satin Top Coat to protect the stain and give it some depth.
The last step of the project was to install the drawer pulls I took all of the pictures of the bedside tables with my iPhone and for some reason could not get the color of the stain to be an accurate representation of what they look like in person. All in all, I am happy with the way they turned out. I enjoyed the challenge of hiding the secret door and engineering the locking mechanism.
My friend and more importantly his wife! Question 5 months ago on Step 2. Sometimes you give the dimensions and then say "actual" to show the actual size of the wood.
Is this piece actually 1x2 or is it a 1x2 actual 0. Question 6 months ago. Question 8 months ago. I am looking to buy something like this, so can any of you that made this inbox me please. Does anyone have a material list and cut instructions yet?
I was going through to try and compile a list of materials but im wondering if anyone else has a more detailed list yet? I would be very interested in purchasing 2 of these locking nightstands with casters for my teens when they head to college. Someone lmk if you are making them for sale. I have been searching for something exactly like this to no avail. Question 1 year ago on Introduction. I built this a couple years ago for my youngest son, using plans straight from the internet.
I messed up one part where I misinterpreted instruction, but it was cosmetic mistake and did not affect operation, just looked slightly different. Anyway, at the time , I saw a variation on the design, which included a digital thumb lock rather than the secret locking mechanism.
Could anyone point me to that? Now add the spring and rod to the magnet I used their magnetic properties to keep them together without adhesive. Test that the rod goes through and using the strong adhesive, stick the tube so that the open side is flat against the side wood.
Other locking systems could include having the rod go up into the table surface instead of the sides. It would open by pushing the magnet down with the opposite side of another magnet. There is also a variety of hidden magnetic locks that you could purchase online and in hardware stores. Above is the magnetic lock system used in the instructable as well as an alternative setup as described above. This step is about disguising the drawer to match the table.
You can skip this part if you have painted your wood or used matching wood from the start. Using the wood putty, cover all areas where there are defects or holes such as around the screws or where the wood pieces join. Now cut the wooden vinyl or paper so that it covers all necessary areas. Add wood glue and smear it around to all the areas that will be visible and slowly place the paper so that it is evenly attached. You can use a cloth and credit card or ruler to slowly push out any air bubbles that appear.
You could also add a secret charging hole at the back so that a power cable can fit through. Just drill a whole at the back of the table and the drawer large enough for the cable head to pass through. Now you can also safely and secretly charge your devices.
You can also add interior lighting or implement various compartments and dividers. Now it is time to attach the drawer to the table. Add tape or some sort of marker on the drill bit so that you don't drill through the side. Drill a small hole first, then a hole the same size as the rod and using a countersink bit, widen the end so that the rod can slide in if there are slight alterations in movement.
Place the drawer under the table and attach it to the top with the 10X19 G screws. Once again I first marked and made holes where the screws would go. When attaching the drawer, it might move around. Therefore I used a ruler as a buffer to keep it stationary.
This is the finished Secret Drawer. Thank you for taking time out to check out my instructable. I hope it was easy to understand and that it was useful. Think of other designs and locking systems you can make.
Please comment on what you think and on how I can improve it. I'm still young and inexperienced and am constantly learning new techniques each day so your advice would be greatly appreciated :.
Question 3 years ago on Step 3. Its not allowing me to download the plans for some reason. Is there any chance you can email me the pdf plans? Reply 4 years ago. When it comes to the items stored in my drawer, none of them are particularly sensitive to a magnetic field. Only a very powerful magnet, such as a laboratory degausser, could do any damage to my hard drives or other electronic appliances. So far nothings has been damaged, however I do tend to place the appliances further away from the earth magnet just in case :.
Reply 5 years ago. A jigsaw is a reciprocating saw in itself as its motion reciprocates. I used a particular type of jigsaw that could be used for both demolition and fine cutting purposes making it a bit of both in this instance. The cuts that are required for this bedside table are given for you so you can make and label them with the same letters given in the plan details. Then, when putting the pieces together, the instructions call for specific letters so that you can easily understand how the parts fit together.
There are several illustrations along the way to guide you through the whole project. I like this nightstand plan because it's like a mixture of the two previous plans from the first page of this list- you get the drawer for some privacy and to hide clutter, but you also have an open shelf for quick access. There are several assembly photos and illustrations with clear dimensions to help you put this modern bedside table together.
Designs by Studio C. This smooth bedside table from Designs by Studio C should be easy enough to build given that the plan instructions are super simple to follow. As you can see in the picture, there are two drawers in this nightstand and there's nothing else too fancy that should be difficult to construct.
It's basically just a box that's open on one side for some drawers, but it still manages to look super nice. All the materials, tools, and lumber are listed out for you so you can be sure you have all that's needed to build the table. There's also a cut list that outlines all the different pieces you'll need to make. This is another nightstand plan from More Like Home, and it's pretty similar in design to the other one in this list but instead has a drawer and tapered legs.
Before getting started, look through the shopping list at the top of the plan to be sure you can gather all the materials for the nightstand. The Design Confidential. This particular nightstand plan from The Design Confidential definitely uses a more basic design, but that may be exactly what you're looking for in a bedside table.
The nightstand is a square that's 20" by 20" inches and stands 17" off the ground. I personally don't think this nightstand looks anything near as sleek or attractive as the others in this list, but I thought it was interesting enough to add; maybe you'll love it!
The side-to-side length of this nightstand is just over 35", and it stands around 3 feet from the ground. The smaller compartments are 13" and 7. Though it looks a bit intimating at first, The Design Confidential always does a great job of describing how to build its projects with illustrations and detailed steps.
