Almost done with my 'Murica themed concealable coffee table. Compartments have magnetic locks. Coming together better than I thought.

I'm impressed.
Original idea, or from plans or something you saw somewhere? |

Op, you need to turn this into a build thread. I hope you took pics along the way. Now, lets have it.

Thanks for all the comments. I really didn't take pics or anything because I didn't know how it was going to come out. I'm Actually going to do some mods/improvements to the original design. I'll be sure to take step by step pics along with measurements, etc and post them. Thanks again!

I completed the project in about a week (had other duties to tend to as well...i.e., work, "honey-do's, etc). I'm sure you could knock it out in a day or two. I have a shop so it didn't take long to prep the wood. Most time consuming was doing the cut-outs on the closed cell foam. |

Did you have a specific template for the stars? I just built a wooden 3x5 this weekend but I haven't done the stars yet because I don't want to screw them up...

Actually, my wife cut out a template on her Cricut machine using material with an adhesive backing to prevent over-spray and any running. I'd have to ask her how she set that up, but I'll let you know. |

This is some of the hardware I used for the table top:
Rev-A-Shelf - RAL-101-1 - Rev-A-Lock Cabinet Security System Liberty H01068C-UC-C5 Non-Mortise Concealed Spring Hinge, 1-Pack Fastcap Kaizen Foam 57mm (2-1/4") Black I'm changing out the Lid Support to something more sturdier than the chain link. I just got these hydraulic supports in: Apexstone 100N/22.5lb Gas Struts,Gas Springs,Gas Strut,Lift Support,Gas Shocks,Lid Stay,Lid Support,Set of 4 |

How "stable" are the non-mortised hinges? Much side-to-side play? I installed a set of Lowes brand on a bath cabinet and there is all sorts of in-out, up-down play in them. Drives the wife nuts and may have to switch to mortised.
Thanks, |

Kickass.
Do you prefer to grab your weapons from an upside-down position or do you envision reaching over the top of the lid? |
