Making Hidden Storage Compartments || Next Level Cabinet Making

[@tpsooner7816]

Thanks for this video, Jason. Properly hiding candy is most certainly important!

[@workshed556]

Funny how those candy guns changed. Great video.

[@NizarilMojojin]

Nice project, I would however make the front slide out like a drawer, that way the bottom shelf can be used like normal.

[@fhuber7507]

A tug on the face would reveal the hidden drawer.

[@ecospider5]

Drawers are less secret because the whole front would pull forward. So there would be a tiny gap when closed instead of a truly glued front piece. Less secret. Easier to access. Tradeoffs

[@ecospider5]

It would also be harder to use the magnetic trick to hold your candy

[@SeanBlader]

​@@ecospider5 You could use the same magnets on the back of the drawer face to hold it in and hide the gaps. Also with the slides hidden, you could do identical bits on the top ones as well, and you could have no hinges or holes showing. Since the drawer is pretty thin, you could just grab the whole face to pull it open.

[@jameshonomichl4816]

@@SeanBlader I don't think ecospider5 was talking about the little rare earth magnets that keep the door shut. Rather, the "candy magnet" that allows the candy to be stuck up under the top, so that if someone opens the secret compartment, they don't see the "candy". Look at the center section at 23:38

[@markkielman4777]

Awesome video!!!! Proper candy storage is very important and your idea is perfect!!! Love your content! You educate and inspire me all the time.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Wonderfully entertaining.

[@erics2670]

one of the best ideas ive seen for how this world is getting and our needs this is great

[@GeekyBoutiquey]

I built a little back trunk shelf thing for my camping/road trips in my Prius. There was a hidden compartment that you could only see if you put the back seat down. I did this to hide my laptop and more expensive electronics in. I figured that someone might try and break into my car at some point and most camping gear i could replace. But laptops and other devices I didnt want swiped. Its a handy thing to have on weekend trips.

[@robt2151]

Ingenious. Add some more lights to the upper shelves as 'justification' for them being so thick. I have often thought that the kick-space would have some potential for unexpected storage too.

[@tilenpodobnik641]

REMASTERED INTROOOOOOO, finally, leeetsssssssssss goooooooooo

[@robertkerby2581]

Amazing Craftsmanship! I love the design and build of this project. Well done!

[@tlmooth]

I love the idea for valuables that ppl out side the house won't know about but as for lil man and his friends they'll just watch this video and go kool. As for as entertaining as your videos are I have no worries that you teach them safety in all things. And I'm sure lil man has learned respect for humanity with the way I see you help others. Great project.

[@KyleFredrickson-s8y]

I really love the secret compartments. My only thought is, if you’re using the shelving for any kind of storage, it might be difficult to pull them down. I’d love to see your take on concealed drawers, that way you don’t have to move storage out if the way for the compartments to open.

[@ecospider5]

Drawers are less secret because the whole front would pull forward. So there would be a tiny gap when closed instead of a truly glued front piece. Less secret. Easier to access. Tradeoffs.

[@tangocharlie9291]

Use playing cards to create a consistent gap, and add the same gap EVERYWHERE. If they all look the same, nothing looks out of place. 😉👍🏼

[@agenosam362]

I love your techniques. And your explanation.

[@stevenocita1502]

Absolutely amazing. So very clever job well done!! Thanks for the video.

[@johncahill9207]

Reminds me of Jay's 'broom' project. Nice job sir!

[@tonyclark6418]

This is very nice and I think I can do this. Thank you for the idea.

[@herk8240]

I'm a woodworking newb making my first nightstand this weekend and will add this for my, uh, snacks. I'll go a little more basic for now but I'm stoked to add this. Thanks for the vid!

[@superme63]

If you're a newb, then go a LOT more basic. Or you'll just be setting yourself up for failure before you've even started.

[@lauramarshall6376]

Very cool. I have those lights along the baseboard in my hallway and stairs, so people and dogs can get down the hall and downstairs at night. No need to turn on the lights that will wake me.

[@debralegge8513]

Love your craft and humour. Learning should always be fun. 😁

[@thepreston1021]

Fantastic video my man! I can't wait to build some cabinets now

[@michaelwebb57]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!

[@Frozenwinter84]

As a fellow candy enthusiast, I find this perked very interesting!

[@keithosterkamp6207]

Candy magnets. Genius. Also keeps some of the weight off the the trap door magnets.

[@lettershome1253]

I've used those exact lights underneath a set of cabinets to illuminate the counter, and I love them.

[@wojo1034]

My favorite video so far! Thank you

[@ryanhodges1986]

Its a really cool project. I like the comment someone said about making it a drawer to make the bottom functional as well. I also would have given the top shelf a bottom so that if for some reason someone looked under the shelves they really do look the same and a hidden lock would be better also so that it really is a hidden drawer. All that said this is still very awesome and I love the way you put your videos together!!!

[@elijahcherweznik3505]

if you did that and wanted to hide the hinge I think you could also add an extra piece of wood to the bottom and instead of having the box in the back you could cut it to an angle to let that extra long bottom pice have a place to hinge. the only issue I see with the adding a base to the top would be that then you wouldn't be able to adjust the height of the shelf.

[@ryanhodges1986]

@elijahcherweznik3505 I agree about the ability to move the top shelf... I would probably design it knowing where i wanted the shelves and have both be fixed.

[@SteveSeay]

The candy man can cause he mixes it with love and makes world taste goooooood. 🤣👌

[@charliebrown1828]

Great project! Those lights are a nice addition. I have the larger ones underneath my kitchen cabinets.

[@cappyfann750]

I can use secret storage over the top of the cabinets, as well as the ones that go underneath the bottom cabinets replacing the dead space behind the toe kick.

[@Bernardgrubb]

I always love how your projects turn out. I can only hope to achieve half of your talent before I die. Please keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to so many of us...

[@alvalle1206]

Awesome . Happy Holidays to you and your family .

[@tosteson1]

I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I still love how creative this project is.

[@Pitsy]

They are literally awesome 🙂

[@magpiestudios.]

Nice! Lol love the spooky music at the beginning in the background. Suspenseful.

[@jayhitek]

Very cool Jason. Love it!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋 great job 👏, well done, 👍 . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Phil from the moulin,

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

That’s cool. Merry Christmas to all 😊

[@danieldurkton2942]

Very Cool!!! The lights are a nice touch.. Enjoy your Holiday Season….🎄🍻

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Great job, nice idea. Merry Christmas

[@shaynesabala]

That really cool. Nice job brother.

[@BeeTreeGuy]

Literally about 30 minutes ago I was wondering when your next video was coming out. Thanks pal!

[@fcolon4]

It’s funny, I just redid my pantry over the holidays, and these lights were on sale with Amazon, they’re outstanding! Love the hidden drawers man! Keep up the great work, and nice “candy”, especially the magnetic one!

[@christianlogsdon6483]

Love this idea. Especially the candy magnet. Sometimes you need candy in a hurry. Guessing you could also install a biometric lock so you don’t have to fumble with a key in the middle of the night to get your midnight snack.

[@Steve8587]

I had no idea there was a secret candy cabinet in that beautiful cabinet. I love cabinets and candy.

[@tommyvukovic8940]

Very cool project, thank you for sharing this sir.

[@CybrJames]

Great video. Always important to HIDE the CANDY..... You Rock my friend. Thank you for another great video. Happy Holidays..

[@bocan3189]

Candy gets serious @"Certain times" but is always...sweet! Very nice work Jason.

[@xagvsx1521]

just what i needed

[@Johnny19O]

Very cool Jason!

[@aaronbuchholz2510]

Cool system dude

[@vickigonya9432]

Clever❤ very well thought out!!! Doingbthe same with my kitchen upper cabinets and my firepla mantle

[@timothymccabe8159]

always awesome videos. You crack me up. Have a happy new year.

[@jokeal3613]

Great video. How about cutting 4 shelf pins and gluing them to the bottom of each shelf so it looks like the shelves are held up by them???

[@kennethmiller2333]

Best opening ever!

[@josevillanueva6335]

Veeeeeeeery smart Jason. Now you are my favorite woodworker. Congratulations

[@sgwsteve1665]

That is really really really coolsville

[@dpmeyer4867]

cool, nice work

[@GlennBrockett]

As a diabetic I appreciate your concealing your candy from others.

[@ryancrocker5609]

I love candy too. Thanks for the idea

[@Joshua.zero29]

Bourbon Moth going the route of early Mathew Peech is the real Christmas surprise here. ❤❤❤ Merry Christmas, folks! 🎄

[@jewdd1989]

Merry Christmas to you too

[@simonwalker8394]

Great vid, no bears! Cheers, happy Christmas 🎄 Jason and family..

[@imsowright90]

Very cool. I want to do re-do our closet one day. Maybe this will work for me.

[@billiewei1490]

excellent video Jason - - had a lot of my candy stolen a year ago - - wishing I had these shelves

[@edwardsimmons3721]

I love trick drawers and secret compartments.

[@richardbenson4750]

Love this build idea

[@ronaldsencer763]

Thanks!

[@superj2626]

I love me a good chocolate covered Gee Lock... Yummy! (Install that in the kick plate of the lower cabinets. Then, not even umpa lumpas can look under there).

[@mariannerady1137]

really great project!

[@johnnyb95678]

Nice work! Very cool candy storage!

[@Bernardgrubb]

Safety first, lol I see you're using the table saw with the saw wearing the safety glasses, on top of the fence...too funny. Love your videos and you're a wealth of information. You're so talented and explain things clearly and precisely. That helps so much for us dummies out here. Thanks for all you do, you're one of my favorites.

[@HickorySticksWoodworksNW]

Well done those are some nice builds

[@maddieadams75]

Nice work. Always keep you and your family safe. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year 🛷🙏⛄️❤️🦌🫎🎁🎄❄️🎅🤶

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

I need to protect my candy to. Hope you had a terrific Christmas 😊 . Not many jokes, my wife enjoys them too 😊

[@jannamarie3990]

Great idea ❤😊

[@matthewcarpenter4716]

LOVE HOW YOU WORDED THE BEGINNING! Very creative way to get that message out there! Merry Christmas Jason, Mrs. Jason, Iver, and Craig!

[@stephanstocker3717]

Awesome job.

[@marien20]

Merry Christmas 🎊🎄🎁

[@rinzler9775]

Fantastic for storing semi automatic candy.

[@Ken-h5d]

All that talk about candy really satisfied my sweet tooth. Really nice build. Wish I could "like" more than once.

[@ryanrents126]

At 25:15, I like how that candy 1911 became a real Glock pretty fast 🤣🤣

[@mickeysrccrawl]

And.. Marry Christmas Jason, wife and the ¨forman ¨ :-) Best wishes from Denmark

[@douglaswinze699]

Merry Christmas

[@gregwolfe540]

This is great. So clean!

[@TheRumpleThump]

I hope I get some more magnetic candy for Christmas.

[@cmclaren7]

Great job!

[@jimfoster2011]

Very Cool!

[@Jupiter-wj6sn]

They turned out really great.

[@dirtychevyful]

Love some woodworking and candy!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Pretty excellent. Glad you're as concerned about keeping your candy safe as I am. It's mine.

[@ThreePedalCollective]

gotta love that magnetic candy

[@raydriver7300]

A clever idea well executed and presented. All the best to you and yours during the holiday season and here’s hoping 2024 will be healthy and prosperous 🌞

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video and a very great idea I’ve been looking for a way to hide my candy in my headboard of my bed doing something like this thanks for some inspiration and great ideas. Merry Christmas Jason to you and your family and a Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆

[@TheDavemarz]

Please look into proper "candy" storage. At the end of the day this is a wooden with a simple off the shelf lock. Any professional "candy" thief would find this in moments and simply hit the box with a hammer and now your "candy" is on the black market. Please, be a responsible candy owner and keep your candy out of the hands of people who shouldn't have it.

[@travw6423]

Woodworker and hidden candy maker. Ingenuity

[@KaraboLegwaila]

Ooh! I love candy, especially the kind you hide in secret compartments! Yummy!! 😂

[@sfcmmacro]

Its amazing how that milk chocolate magnetic candy turned into dark chocolate after you removed it from the magnet!

[@bjaminf113]

Love it!

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

I like your brand of “Candy”. Great choice.

[@AVSMedical1]

WOW, pretty sweet harbor freight table saw😅

[@donnabagshaw2124]

Loved it!! I hope you and yours have a blessed & Merry Christmas!! PS-I can't wait to see the Airstream!!

[@josh8494]

If the Forman has KZbin and is a fan of his employee, then he already knows where the hidden candy is. Or, if his friends watch, they may tell him. I hope the candy is Pez. I just love Pez. Those cartoon head dispensers are fun.
