One Handed Maker – Secret Compartment Furniture

[James Dixon]

Hi from Australia,
My name is James and I make furniture with one hand and post the videos on YouTube under my One Handed Maker channel.
My last two videos show how I built an Australian Red Cedar table with Huon Pine inlays. The latest video reveals the secret compartment build.
I try to increase the complexity of each project and this hall table was a complex build.
Here is a picture of the table and a link to the build video. If you don’t trust links just open YouTube and search for One Handed Maker.Secret Compartment Table

You've gotta get up pretty early in the afternoon to beat me to a late-night punch, Jon.

Nice work, I really like how you hid the actuation in the inlay it blends in really seamlessly and the catch design is nice and simple and efficient.

Welcome to the family and great project! Thanks for showing it, I like the way you used the contrasting wood color to apply graphic elements on the front.
