Secret Compartment Frame

[@dpmakestuff]

Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!

[@jimmydiresta]

Awesome!!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

jimmydiresta thanks Jimmy!

[@danielsalaverri4021]

You have by far one of the nicest most extensive workshop i've ever seen

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! I was just looking at pictures of it 4 years ago and it was very different!

[@Wintergatan]

Dustin! I have added your brilliant video to a playlist with 5 different framing of the Diresta Print-videos, one is my own, So fun to see the different approaches on the same theme!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! Can I just say I'm having a huge fan boy moment right now and my kids (both are obsessed with your marble machine video) will not believe that you commented on one my videos! Love your stuff man! Thanks again!

[@timothyfagan5725]

G'day from Australia , The secret compartment is impressive however I was more impressed by the fact that it was a two sided frame many a time I've had to hide something behind a frame that I would've liked access to show the other side, great idea thank you, Tim .... PS: would've been too simple for me to think of it 😊😊

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertschelich4061]

Very nice, when you split the board on the band saw it seems like it is the same thickness as before. How did you make up for the width of the blade? Seems like it would not be flush?

[@dpmakestuff]

I mention that in the video description, but basically the band saw blade kerf is so thin, I was able to sand down the difference on the other boards. Thanks!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Too many kinds of awesome to count, Dustin. Nice looking frame in and of itself - the ice pick storage is just icing on the cake. Sweet project!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you Mark!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Love the knife through metal trick! LOL 🏆😊👍🏼

[@Geeksmithing]

OK, wow. that is the coolest DiResta print frame I have seen yet! Nice job!

[@Nemesis01100]

I keep all the video (and all your videos) humming the iconic song in my mind. Great job Dustin, greetings from Venezuela.

[@dhmmasson]

That is way to cool :) A new secret compartment and some diresta's prop. What not to love, great job!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@Wintergatan]

Sorry, Forgot the link to the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLLLYkE3G1HEBS4QhW-fQYn2uI0W6rURbA

[@chaoticlogic588]

Jimmy had mentioned your channel on the Making It podcast and so I decided to check out your work. 1st video in and I gotta say I'm glad I subscribed.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! Jimmy is the best!

[@alansloan950]

Nicely done. I don't have a CNC machine, what would you suggest instead: router, or maybe a chisel and hammer?

[@dpmakestuff]

Yeah a router and a template or a drill bit and a chisel. Thanks!

[@hotrodhog2170]

The part of the frame that you cut on the bandsaw, how did you get it the same thickness as the others because you took a saw blade width out of it?

[@HopeStreetWoodworks]

At 2:54 when you are splitting that piece on the bandsaw, what kind of blade are you using? It looks like you are getting an incredibly smooth cut. All of my bandsaw cuts are extremely rough

[@dpmakestuff]

Its a scary expensive Laguna Resaw King blade. If this one broke, I'd buy it again. It transformed how I think about bandsaw cuts.

[@jokeal3613]

Outstanding, love Diresta. Tried to visit him last week in New York.

[@gnuthad]

Thanks for the quick explanations as to why you were doing various techniques at various parts. It made the video a lot more informative. Did you have any trouble with those pieces of brass (?) bending when you were pushing them into the timber?

[@dpmakestuff]

Gnuthad thank you! They were brass and I I had no problem getting them in there. I used the wooden mallet to make sure I didn't damage them.

[@isaacbraun1366]

Beautiful work and design Dustin! Both with the frame and the video!

[@Boomer8404]

Whats with the 3in1 on the glass when you were cutting it? I have never seen this technique before, can you please explain sir!?!

[@dpmakestuff]

Don C sure! I was talking to a lady who owns a stained glass shop and she said it extends the life of glass cutters by a lot. Who am I to argue with her haha! Thanks!

[@PaskMakes]

Very nice frame Dustin, and cool video.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks so much!

[@jasonmccabe5915]

I would love to have a CNC machine. It is hard to learn how to use the software that controls it?

[@NornerNlhoutbewerking]

That was awesome! Neat addition with the hidden icepick compartment and the editing of cutting the brass rod with your knife was perfect. Had to tap pause*play*pause*play... on my phone to see the hidden text. Great video Dustin!

[@TheaterGeek2007]

Lol, I did that too!

[@adamgabbert]

This guy and his secret compartments. Me thinks he's hiding something.

[@dpmakestuff]

Adam Gabbert I show you all my secrets haha!

[@adamgabbert]

That's a good thing my man. That's a good thing.

[@GrumpysWorkshop]

In 80 years, when youtube is gone, his grandkids are going to break all of his shit to find the hidden compartments.

[@adamgabbert]

***** Hahaha. When I read your comment I envisioned his grand kids breaking all his picture frames, chair legs, cabinet doors & drawers over their knees looking for hidden compartments. Haha.

[@GrumpysWorkshop]

Put a secret compartment in a couple things, no one will ever think to look for it. Put 'em in most things, and they'll assume everything you've ever made has one.

[@nsmc4]

Perfect homage to Jimmy! Briwax and all!

[@jkhdfkjashdfk]

This seems simple enough to replicate without needing exact dimensions, but are there plans anywhere? Really want to make this.

[@danthemakerman]

Badass build man. Seems very fitting.

[@TheSafecrkr1]

Very nice job. what exactly was that you were hiding ? it went by so fast. looked like the key to your safe !

[@dpmakestuff]

jim renderer I put a link in the description and some text on the screen but it's an ice pick made by Jimmy DiResta. The same guy who make the print. Thanks!

[@TrogeyGolf]

What type of finishing wax do you use on most woods? It looks homemade!

[@dpmakestuff]

It's a beeswax based finish. I have a video on here somewhere about it.

[@larry527az3]

Dustin, I'm curious why you don't have the riving knife on your saw? Serious question, do you have a reason for not using it? I'm looking at upgrading my saw and one of the features I wanted most is a riving knife, hence my question. Thanks for the vid btw, it's really a neat design.

[@dpmakestuff]

Larry527az I have one and love it. I use it along with the guard since SawStop did an incredible job designing the whole thing. This was a particularly bad board and was pinching the riving knife too so I removed it. If you look close at that shot, you can see the board is already cut a little.

[@larry527az3]

Dustin Penner Okay, now it makes sense, good to know you like the saw, it's the one I'm saving my pennies for. Thanks for the reply.

[@WildmanTech]

Nicely done! Jimmy would be proud!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@drsdrs2525]

Wow.... that fancy frame... great construction. No need for square check.. Di Resta says it is straight

[@Dopefish76]

Beautiful frame Dustin! Such a neat way to hang the print and store the ice pick together! 👍🏻

[@Wwgeek]

Amazing. I always seem to learn at least "why didn't I think of that" tricks when I watch your videos.

[@AlbosNoggins]

How many brass pins can you cut before you need to resharpen that blade?

[@dpmakestuff]

Alex Howard two and a half.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Very nice! That knife cuts brass well....

[@dpmakestuff]

unbelievably well! Thanks!

[@solemnwulf]

How long will it be before everything in your house has a secret compartment haha

[@dpmakestuff]

Zxios it will be an ongoing thing. There are things that haven't been invented yet that will need a secret compartment haha! Thanks.

[@timberdish]

Brilliant as always! Very appropriate frame for a poster and ice pick made by the great man himself. Nice one DP :-)

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Matt!

[@TalesSter]

That knife, IS SO SHARP!

[@undertow99]

So many great tips.. blue tape, oil.. awesome video!

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

Great job Dustin...........I did not know about the 3 in one oil when cutting glass.........Protect Your DIGITS....... Gregg

[@dpmakestuff]

Prolongs tool life! Thanks!

[@bradmontgomery8826]

What kind of table saw/band saw combo is that you have?

[@dpmakestuff]

Brad Montgomery it’s not a combo. Not sure what you mean.

[@davestrain1762]

Nice Build Dustin... Your knife is so sharp LOL!

[@weldnerd6922]

Fantastic wood working skills !

[@bigports]

was that glass you cut? plus what oil dod you use? i know i know, yes im that bad :)

[@dpmakestuff]

Yes that was 1/8" glass. Freeze frame on the oil for the details but it's 3 in 1. Prolongs the life of the cutter.

[@bigports]

Cheers

[@whiskywizard]

Cool project, but even better production. Thanks for posting this.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you for watching!

[@barryroberts6470]

Very Nice Build, Well Done. TC, Barry (Eng)

[@pedrocantarelli3636]

Perfect idea. Great job. Cheers from Brazil

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Cool video Dustin really enjoyed it

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you Warren!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Like the ice pick holder bud! 👊🏻 that was sweet!!

[@tooljunkie555]

as always very cool dustin! really like that. what are the dimensions...since i just got trolled for asking if there were plans..

[@Tiger90Drake]

really...you need plans for a frame?

[@tooljunkie555]

Truman F​​ .....dimensions..sorry. you know like how thick is the wood he used,, how deep are the half laps he made,, how deep is the hidden compartment?..not sure what the difference is? plans or dimensions..is there??

[@dpmakestuff]

Joe basementwoodworking I didn't make plans since they would only work for that size of picture. I based the thickness of the material on the thickness of the ice pick. I didn't want the have to make a groove in the front face.

[@tooljunkie555]

Dustin Penner good point..thanks man!🖒

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

Best frame ever. Thumbs up for the subliminal unicorn.

[@BoTTanker]

How big is your xcarve table

[@reforzar]

Unicorn! Cool video. I need to get a hand on one of those knives*. *not really

[@kmrst10000]

I hear This Old Tony has the hookup

[@TheMulk777]

I liked the Old Tony style along with Diresta

[@shaugt241]

Great vid...great idea for Diresta`s things.

[@HonestDoubter]

I think the homage is really cool.

[@SHNUCAU]

Genius! I liked the definition at the end too.

[@danlynch1154]

Dustin love these hidden compartment videos!

[@alonsoquesada1136]

I just came to see +Jimmy Diresta's comment. Awesome work btw and nice unicorn.

[@dpmakestuff]

Always happy to have another Jimmy fan around here! Thanks very much!

[@TheDirtFighter]

Always know I'm watching a good DP video when I hear that cool horn music.....Oh, and by the way Dustin, I am sending you a couple dozen of my favorite pocket knives....I would like for you to sharpen them for me...I don't care what it cost ;-)

[@daverigby2577]

Very nice piece to house some cool stuff!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Good stuff, Dustin!

[@Wordsnwood]

simple and elegant.

[@dpmakestuff]

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) thanks Art!

[@EthanMacLeod]

What a super cool design as usual! Did anybody else see the text at 5:04 ?

[@dpmakestuff]

i did...

[@HobbyPicker]

I can't tell you how glad I am of that !!!!

[@MrJmak642]

I need one of those brass rod chopping pocket knives, sweet stuff.

[@dpmakestuff]

Very rare! Thanks!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Way cool, Dustin!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@frankkelly2245]

[@erumgreat5061]

I WANT TO BUY THIS PICTURE FRAME!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME A PRIVATE LESSON!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊I LOVE YOU JUSTIN!!! YOU ARE SO GREAT.

[@thewhitezubia]

Jimmy would be proud

[@JohnMadeit]

Nice video. the frame was really good

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks again!!

[@CPBuilds]

Getting worried...been a while since I've seen a secret compartment video. Got thinking that maybe you got trapped in one and no one knew where you were.

[@dpmakestuff]

Chris Parker have to pepper then in. Keep you wanting more!

[@CPBuilds]

Such a tease...lol

[@masterofnone]

Great frame and production. Thanks for sharing.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@genewilder9996]

Did you go to school for woodworking or did you just start doing it yourself? Either way fantastic work!

[@dpmakestuff]

I just started doing it. Thanks!

[@genewilder9996]

Dustin Penner wow that's cool! I've always been interested in stuff like this.

[@thoreaubushcraftprepperhom1511]

I would like to see what the finished product is before sitting through the build to see if the juice is worth the squeeze....maybe in the future u could edit that way please

[@dpmakestuff]

Thoreau Survival Channel probably not. That’s what a thumbnail is for.

[@lynardburt5992]

Where did you get the brass and the magnets?

[@dpmakestuff]

I have links to everything in the video description.

[@JeepTherapy]

Lynard Burt ace hardware has it.

[@pascalsurprenant7249]

awesome really like the ice pick hideout

[@willemkossen]

That is just insane! Nice!!

[@dpmakestuff]

haha! Thanks!

[@walkermayer2666]

I wish I could like this more than once... preferably 1000 times. Awesome video!

[@dpmakestuff]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

[@ranjdall]

Nicely done

[@MikeKapotsy]

nice job Dustin!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you Mike!

[@tarlequin_]

sometimes I just watch your videos for that funky song

[@dpmakestuff]

A view is a view! Thanks!

[@Handskemager]

Wow, great job looks beautiful

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Damn dude! That looks awesome

[@spencemade659]

did you shorten your ice pick?

[@dpmakestuff]

yes! About an inch off the handle and 3/4" off the spike. I also trimmed the excess out of the sheath. It's roughly 3" shorter but the spike is nearly the same. Fits in my pocket better this way. instagram.com/p/BK4R91GjrvL/?taken-by=dpmakestuff

[@spencemade659]

I'm going to have to do the same thing. i love the ice pick but it is just to long to keep in a pocket comfortably.

[@dpmakestuff]

spence made Cutting the handle was easy. I used a torch to heat the spike until it fell out and then trimmed the sheath to fit the spike perfectly. Then I used a jewelers saw to remake the split and a steel center punch to make the dent.

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I love furniture with secret compartments : )

[@dpmakestuff]

You've come to the right place then! Thanks!

[@weber247]

Ah yes #3 on my go to list of shtf weapons, the ice pick very modest yet extremely effective.

[@richardebbole1]

such precision...

[@jacobblinkhorn4863]

hey man do you sell these

[@dpmakestuff]

I don't. It's such an easy to make frame I don't think there is a market to sell them. You're the first to ask so...

[@mrdosancos13687]

You are completely fool, this all is awsome!

[@Themexicancarpenter]

Great work

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

It becomes easier with practice! Thanks very much!
