Hi,
Following on from my previous post I have released the hidden compartment video on YouTube today.
Hall table from Australian Red Cedar with Huon Pine inlays.
The pattern on the front conceals a release button for a secret drawer.
The video steps out the drawer build and latch mechanism.

Sir, or should I say “mate”, my hat is off to you. I am awestruck, not only for overcoming a physical impediment, but the level of craftsmanship some of us can only aspire to.

And yes great video editing.

BTW, my wife’s side of our family is Australian. She has many relatives in the Sydney area. My mother in law was a special lady. She lived to be 96 and spent the last few years of her life with us, which was a great blessing and a joy. I used to kid her that she was so tough because her ancestors survived the voyage in the convict ships. She got a kick out of that, God rest her soul.

Awesome work. Is there a catch for the main drawer, or do you just reach under and pull the lower edge of the front?

i remember when i was doing remodeling, working alone. I had to plan all the work, relying on tricks to hold the other end of the board, etc. i imagine you make extensive use of jigs and fixtures.
