Hmmm... I wonder what I could hide in there?
A key to the closet in the basement that grandpa told you to never, ever open?
Or you could simply hide it in a decent hiding place.
One that couldn't be found by the readers of several major blogs; inc. cops.
Hell, if someone were desperately trying to find something then they would notice the hollow area of wood and smash it open regardless.
This is more of a "hide the key to the licquor cabinet" 50s situation.
I memorized every combination, passphrase, PIN, and password of my parents growing up, and knew all their hiding spots (heh, they always thought I was good at guessing Christmas presents). This wouldn't work to hide things from the kiddies.
Would work as a conversation piece.
That's be a good place to stash me weed, man!
i wanna hide dead bodies in it.
Huh, I have an antique (circa 1875) sideboard that has the same secret box as the table shown in the photograph.
As soon as I get home tonight, I'm going to look for a catch and see if it is in fact a double-secret box!
The Woodwright's Shop (the name of the PBS show IIRC) with Roy Underhill, who makes everything with non-powered tools, showed a secretary (desk) that had a bunch of little hidden drawer and slots like this once. It was fascinating.
Now I know where to hide my Jihadist manual and golf shoes.
This is a true story about secret drawers. My dad died last year, and despite a thorough search of every inch of the house, we couldn't find the damned will anywhere, just a dozen books on the supreme importance of leaving a will. This Sunday I finally found the missing will in a secret desk drawer -along with a wallet full of naked black-and-white snapshots of my Mom 50 years ago, some very used porn magazines, and a photo of the woman my Mom always suspected Dad of having an extramarital fling with. So I gave Mom the will and the naked pics. She was glad she had them to remember her youthful body and had a good laugh. I discreetly disposed of the remaining contents of the secret drawer. What in hell did Dad think would happen when he died? Which one of his family members was supposed to find the will and porn drawer??????
@#12/anonymous
you discovered it so... [cue Gandalf]
"In which case, you were also meant to have it. And
that is an encouraging thought"
and/or thus it is time for you to start a secret drawer of your own
