Obligatory Finished photo
Before photo, wall on the right with the opening is where they are going.
Another before photo, wall on the left with the opening is where they are going.
The design
Raw materials
The setup
Realized we needed more room, super unsafe do not recommend this setup.
Moving along
Ooh wood
Dry fit
More dry fit testing
And yet more dry fit
I'd say we did a good job on the stain color matching our existing color scheme.
First of the cases going in
4 out of the 5
Getting close
All cases in and accounted for
Added the lights to the top
Molding for the fronts, very thin
Vertical molding on
They are done! Lights only view
They are done! With the room light on.
A door opens

Most impressed with the cleanliness of that garage.

Congrats on the money and success. The bookcase is pretty cool too

Finish that staining!

God damnit I'm trying but I'm so so tired

Please stain that bottom corner of the door.
Trainedbyshibas
It'll be done, don't you worry your pretty little head off. It makes me cringe too.

Bravo!

the part I'm most interested in is how you hung the door, but you just skipped right over that little bit

I wanna see the sex dungeon behind the door
Trainedbyshibas
Piano hinge. No pictures because it's not photo ready yet. But I needed to walk away from this project for a bit.
ElectronicSharts
Why?
actioncheese
Try taking on a project like this by yourself and you will soon find out
chillFlamingo
Post-it's probably.

Is that where you plan on keeping your victims?
ScottBugVillain
Of course, if you count the outside windows, you find a discrepancy...

Makes hidden door, post online. Not so hidden
WalterRego
It's not like he was going to hide a body in there..
Tsutsukakushi
I think the window in the hidden room already gives it away
proileri
Bookshelf public, so now he just needs to hide the house.
Terrapin2190
What house?
MrWiggleBottom
Remember when video stores had that door you had to go through to get to the porn? It's like that, only classy.
LobsterBandito
I only ever saw doorways with a curtain (a curtain that was always red?).
BecauseJapan
What does the other side of the door look like from inside the office?
reallyannoyedwithhavingtochoosemyownname
Thanks for showing us your secret room. Are you keeping anything of value in it? Where do you live btw?
Trainedbyshibas
Lots of valuables and on Mars
proileri
In one pic, you can see a valuable Ikea shelf + plushies, with a practical window to break in through. So I'm guessing.. yes?
Sipulikeitto
It seems that 90% of Imgur carpentry project posters don't know what Riving knife is. This makes me cringe every god damn time.
Trainedbyshibas
Eh this was the first time we attempted something if this scale. You live and learn right?
Sipulikeitto
I really hope you get a riving knife to your saw. There are too many nine (or less) fingered carpenters out there.
LvAllen
Oh, c'mon. It's not that important. Just kick back and relax. Have a finger or two of whiskey.
gettodachopper69
Carpenter here, I get your joke. +1
Rapola
Ah yes the secret riving knife attachment for circular saws. That would have made this project so much better. /s
gettodachopper69
There isn't even a circular saw in any pictures.
Rapola
#7 - That's ain't a table saw buddy. It's a circular saw bolted to a piece of MDF.
gettodachopper69
So it is! Well that's just fucking retarded.
Rapola
Yup, I get the need for riving knives on a proper cabinet saw, but ripping plywood with a circular saw will at worst stall the motor....

You think we wouldn't see the Pony, did you? ;)

Looks fantastic. Very nice work.

And this kids is how we hide a grow room.
idontneednostinkingpuffin
But grow rooms need ventilation and roof insulation to hide hide from police helicopters.
root1657
That's how they'll find you...
idontneednostinkingpuffin
Shhhhh!!! You don't know what I do.

Or do I.......

A grow room shouldn't have a window...
ScottBugVillain
Or it becomes a show room!

Are those ikea lights at the top of the bookcases? Please confirm....

Yes they are

Do you now just have a weirdly empty room except for a really nice, but suspiciously placed bookshelf?
Trainedbyshibas
Now we can put a dining table in and call it done.
Wuz314159
Did you just put that over the AC outlets & HVAC duct?
SirsMadeline
I don't see a duct in the start pic.
sbkangelx
Its only the return. Its most likely dounle sided so the vent cover inside the room is still exposed
SummoningDark
That duct on the wall is actually a weird vent to circulate air between rooms, not connected to the actual AC system. Source: am husband
Wuz314159
OP's husband or random person's husband?
SummoningDark
Just a random husband. When you graduate husband school they tell you all kinds of important stuff.
TannerHastings
Look at the picture when he puts it up he didnt cover the vent he came up just under it
MedicusSenpai
actually it was covering about half of it

ScottBugVillain
Should turn that vent over, or it will dry out the top of the shelves quickly and crack them.
4x4play
That's not a vent, it's an intake.
ScottBugVillain
Ah, my mistake.
pdbravo
Straight on top of carpet too
6Oh4
Cringe.
RingSting
I thought it looked slightly raised from the floor.
magic1106
Ductwork is on the other side of that wall in the other room
TheWhiteoutt
that's what I'm saying, could have worked with it a little bit and use them to put lights on the shelf or a vent opening.
relpmeraggy
That's just a return. You can clearly see in the pic that includes the kitchen the vents are in the ceiling. If you covered one it 1/2
relpmeraggy
Wouldn't hurt your air flow to bad.
DraymondGreensGoatee
I believe the answer your looking for is yes?
nerdyvet
Considering that AC outlets in Sydney houses appear to be an Expensive Commodity, I died a little inside. what a waste xD
ServerMonkeyKing
Missed opportunity with the outlets to create a hidden "book" that doubles as a charging station .... Also fire hazards.
BobHopeLives
How is the door opened? DO you have to remove the proper book?
ironduckx
Is there other way to open these?
