My best friend and I made one of those in high school to hide a recorder, but it messed up the audio too badly in testing, so we just put the recorder on the desk.

It was a fun project to do, and surprisingly easy.

The recorder? It was used to record a verbally abusive teacher. :innocent:

Do you make the secret bookcase door book a secret book safe as well? Or do you hide your secret book safe in the room behind the secret bookcase door?

Once you’ve glued up all the pages, you can separate the body of the book from its covers and cut the opening with a bandsaw (much like how bandsawn boxes are made).

Make the entry cut from the binding side of the pages.

MUCH faster than slicing a few pages at a time with a boxcutter blade. More even results, too.

I think you can use Lysol to make a hollow book safe.
