It might be cool to mount springs and dampeners to the sliding top. The springs would would auto-slide the top and the dampeners would allow for a soft open. Just a thought. Cool project!

[@llcoolg7028]

I've watched a lot of diy videos on different little projects and within the first 1 minute and 18 seconds you've not only gained a new subscriber, you've hit on something that nobody else has even hinted at, and something that I have learned while making my second coffee table, is that if you square off your pieces everything will fit and look much better than if you don't. I'm not a professional, I'm not even what you'd call a hobbyist so I didn't really pay attention too much to that during my first table build, but while in the middle of making the second table, the squaring off of the pieces really became obvious, so thank you so much for pointing this out and hopefully by doing so a lot of would be woodworkers won't be easily discouraged.

[@billymuellerTikTok]

I LOVE THIS. great idea and execution. distressed modern farmhouse look is great. One improvement I would suggest, put the biometric fingerprint scanner under the table top instead of on the side so no one would even see it unless the table were upside down.

[@Enidehalas]

you would need to do it under the hidden flat drawer, otherwise if you do it on the table top, when you open it you're going to stretch your cable. Either looking ugly or knocking things up or risking to get pinched by the mecanism

[@thestatusfoe]

Thanks for this enjoyable build Matt! I purchased your plan on ETSY as I definitely prefer a paper cut list. Everyone has been fooled into thinking I know what I'm doing and they're super jealous of my new concealment table. Early in the video you say to make sure the drawer slides sit flush to the top of the side rails then when you're installing the slides you say to have them raised 1/8 to a 1/4 inch. Not a big deal, just had to adjust them after the tabletop was on.

[@TheCort1971]

nice simple build. very functional without all that flash. this is what a concealment table should be, does not draw too much attention to it.

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

Rust oleum has a antiquing kit that you basically paint white first but leave brush marks (no runs) then get a rag with walnut stain and rub it down. Wipe it down soon after to get the majority off. This leaves brown and yellowing with dark streaks and marks in low areas and crevices. Then clear coat it

[@josephharris2668]

Hello Matthew, I’m sure the question has already been asked. Do you offer the sale of any of your DIY designs? Unfortunately for me, I don’t have any woodworking skills. This Concealment Coffee Table is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I am willing to a pay premium fee if you’d consider making one for me. I’m so serious about obtaining the table, I’d even arrange for a dedicated carrier. However, if this is something you’re not interested in doing I completely understand. You truly have one awesome piece of furniture. Kind Regards, Joseph

[@andiamocclash397]

Just a tip I've taught myself when using spade bits is to drill the center hole with a 3/16ths bit first. Next start your finish side hole stopping before you break through and depending on the depth required. Finally drill the inside hole towards yourself, in your case it would have gave you good centering start for the different blade size and it also prevents the splintering you see at 15:45

[@user-ev4pb9xj7e]

Or clamp a scrap piece of wood to the inside and use a Forstner bit to drill all the way through your front piece. This works when you are not able to drill from the inside because of depth or length.

[@SniperFire45]

I usually burn the tops then use a wire wheel to scrape out the burn and it makes a really nice distressed look with browns and blacks, but has some light areas as well. Love the table.

[@libertyordeath935]

Love it. I think the only tweak I would make if I build it would better conceal the fingerprint lock. That's just personal preference. Thank you for posting

[@alexpaterson5489]

Awesome video!! A little trick I learned to take out the soft wood, is use a pressure washer. The grinder leaves marks of it own, the pressure washer leaves a more natural look

Place the Bio-Metric sensor on the Bottom Boards of the concealed table compartment Facing Down. Placing fingertip under the table edge is natural, and easy. Plus it doesn't give away that the top is not all it seems.

[@tomjohnson322]

Heads up on doing the "breadboard" ends. You will have splitting issues when you don't allow for differential expansion of the boards. The end boards will not expand the same as the long boards since the grain is perpendicular.

[@traceurernest2222]

You can use dowels or biscuits to help with that right?

[@tomjohnson322]

[@CitizenLoc]

No

[@kallewirsch4187]

@@WasteyCasey if you want a look like this, you need to make a tongue and groove joint with a mortise and tennon joint in the middle. Only mortise and tennon get glue while the tongue and groove joint stays dry. That way, the boards stay in place, but are abled to expand individually.

What a beautiful table 👌I am looking forward to making myself one !

[@danieldiaz9948]

@matthewpeach if I may humbly make a suggestion, if you are using this for you and your family’s safety. I would consider installing a pistol holster in the corner closest to the biometric sensor, with as big a spacer as you can manage that still allows the top to move, so that the handle is pointed towards you on the couch, and the firearm is canted with the barrel facing down. Then set the biometric lock to your non-dominant hand. If, god forbid, you ever need to deploy it, (assuming you’re right handed), you can hit the bio sensor with your left hand, shove the top with your right hand, and then grab the pistol from the holster very quickly and it’s already pointing towards the door which is where the target will be. It will be much easier to grab the pistol if you can wrap your hand around the entire grip vs if it’s flat. Also, though it’s probably outside of the scope of your wonderful channel, in case anyone is reading this in the future and wants to implement this. Typically if a group of armed criminals are going to be bold enough to hit your house with people in the living room. They will run up fast and kick the door in. Imagine you are sitting on the couch, watching John Wick, scratching your balls, and someone rolls up with guns drawn and kicks your door down. You have 0% chance of getting your table open in time to defend yourself. Therefore, it is imperative if you intend to use this table seriously to defend your family, you must install a metal security door (and lock it) or install reinforced door frame + some kind of early warning system like a security camera. WIthout it, this table is just a really cool table to show off to your friends, but will actually probably be a liability safety wise because it gives you a false sense of security. Just my two cents, hope i didn’t come off as a know it all, and forgive me if you already thought about all that stuff and just laid it out so that it would look good in photos

[@nathanrook9714]

It's a great build, instructions are worth it. It's a good sized table so it may not fit small living rooms. Also very heavy, if I do another one in the future I will likely plane down the thickness of the tabletop a little just to alleviate some of the weight. Important to also put a stop in for the sliders because if they go to far they can't support the weight of the table top.

I then stain and seal the entire tabletop (including the underside) and the tabletop seems less prone to cracking/splitting since it's all sealed up and less vulnerable to humid/dry cycles (I live in NC). It's a little more time and materials but not too bad and it's more of a finished look if you see the tabletop from underneath. Great video!!

[@skimis1]

Might be okay on a narrow top but on wider tables i see them move up to 1/4”. So I always create a tenon on the table ends and a mortise in the breadboard. Then use 3 drawbore dowels to attach after elongating the end holes in the tenon. This allows for movement without splitting.

I’m torn on this, I see lots of people doing it this way with no issues. Their tables have held up for years so far. I built my kitchen table this way last year and it recently split down one of the board from bread end to bread end. The boards were 40 year old deck boards that I reclaimed. You’d think they’d be done moving. So, I dunno.

[@joelthoenen3733]

@@jasperfant1547 wood never stops moving. That's why breadboard ends need to only be secured in the middle to allow for seasonal movement. Some people somehow get lucky hen they do these things, but eventually the wood will split. I've seen people attach table tops to the base with pocket screws, which is also a terrible idea, wood always needs a little room for movement. When you trap it you're asking for trouble. It may not happen right away, but one day it will.

[@richrinehart1083]

Pocket holes are awesome. They allowed me to stop setting up my table saw with the dado stack set so I could build some shelving units. I started using pocket holes because cutting dado's are really a pain in the ass and time consuming, yes I built the jig for my router and I don't know about the rest of ya'll but my big router throws shit everywhere. So I am a firm believer in pocket holes, I actually stood on one of the shelves and it supported my 215 pounds with no problem. I use them all the time. Peace

Just built this and it sold in my area in under 5 hours. Thank you Sir!

[@hutch2206]

How much did you sell it for if you mind sharing.

[@jordanb972]

@@hutch2206 was able to get $1k for it in my local area.

[@ancientparadox2084]

Found my next project! That "dont tread on me" on the weapons was pretty dope. I need to get my shotgun engraved. Cheers!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol. My Gadsden flag flies right beside my American flag. Cheers!

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

Planning on building a version of this table, except having 4×4's for the legs and X members on the ends. I absolutely love the way this one turned out.

[@oldtowntimber]

You are not playing with this one!! Nice work

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks! 😃

[@brandymeidl7126]

Love that table and the twist! Nice 2A twist ❤️🇺🇲

[@Simphome]

Wow!! You're nailed it, man!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@ArduousPun]

This is incredible!!! PLEASEEEE do one for a nightstand with this idea!!!

[@GainsMarathon]

I'm not your "do it yourself around the house kind of guy" (especially with cutting/measuring & using power tools since I don't have any) I am more of a computer nerd, so I would pay good money for this build. I love this.

[@mikefeddersen2476]

If you listen to the video again you hear him mention an Etsy shop. Probably in the description below the video.

[@GainsMarathon]

@@mikefeddersen2476 thank you, but does that Etsy shop sell this already built? I hope so, because I don’t want to buy the drawings since I’m no builder 😂

[@PaulLadendorf]

No one would know its a concealment table...until you made this vid lol. Now 2.8 million people do! Nice work and thanks!

[@aquariandawn4750]

But didn't you see the big black button?

[@jeffersonofficialchannel2034]

This table is absolutely disguising who knew that there's something in there 🧠👍 brilliant

[@AereForst]

Wow. Definitely building this. Thanks for making the plans available.🇺🇸

[@jaredwalsh6157]

Loved everything about it, I would just want the opener I’d switch on bottom of frame so it wasn’t visible. If someone seen it during a robbery they could notice. Guest themselves might ask questions as well. Great idea and build! I am not here to hate. Just a simple idea that you might be interested in.

Matthew….the pocket hole king! 🤴

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol

[@cknip123]

That is a beautiful table! Thanks for sharing the build!

[@cleartexas]

this one reminds me of the old banker's furniture from 'for a few dollars more', well done matthew!

[@philbrady702]

I'd have put that print reader on the under side of the panel for a totally hidden look. James Bond 007 like

[@mariajoseandchase]

Awesome build, Matthew.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@cpududester]

Nice job... I like the distressing technique you used to raise the grain. Well done

[@johnstone9396]

that's a nice table, I have a store-bought rolling cart in my kitchen, I plan to take the top off and put a butcher block top on it, I have to figure how I can make it a sliding top with a shallow storage area for one handgun and a few extra magazines, thanks for the ideas.

[@STILLWILLPHOTO]

The coaster..... SICK 🔥

[@malcolmfunnell4501]

It’s up there . In the most awesome bracket

[@mattlord2906]

It can also be an aquarium table using the sliding top as access panel. Coral would be trick because it glows with a moon light.

[@elenascott081]

Looks simple enough for this old lady to be able to build

[@MRRandy-yq9yf]

Great video Matthew. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

My pleasure!

[@geraldstamour1312]

Dope AF results, Matthew Peech!

[@ReitersBlock]

Great project -- well done! I'm thinking that putting the biometric sensor in the bottom board (facing down) might be even better as noone will know it's there and it's pretty natural to reach underneath with your palm facing up. Might also add some kind of bumper to the left or right of it to make it easier to find by feel since if you need quick access you don't want to be fumbling around to find the sensor. Pros/cons for either location. But if you don't want anyone to suspect the coffee table is anything but a coffee table, hiding the sensor will make it virtually undetectible. Great job though!
