Hidden Compartments
You ever want to have a secret compartment to hide your valuables in but thought it was to hard? Well think again because this instructable will help you make one.
Finding a Good Spot
Building a secret compartment is all about finding the right spot, somewhere that no one would look or notice.
Best thing to do just go into a room you want a secret compartment in and just look around for awhile.
Example -
I have this dresser in my room I noticed one day while looking for a good secret compartment spot that the top inside had these support beams that were exposed. So I thought what if there were a board covering them leaving a little room for some stuff no one would notice that It would look perfectly normal.
Examples of compartments
- False bottom drawer (really easy!)
- Book
- lamp
- Wall outlet
- led bulb (example in pics)
