My mom wants me to build her a Writing Box. I found some great examples at www.hydra.com There is one inparticular that has alot of secret compartments. I’d like to include some in my box but it seems like there is some special hardware involved in the boxes on the site mentioned. Anyone know where I can get a hold of some of this hardware? Or know how I can make my own? Or how to make the compartments with out the hardware?
thanks

I went to the site that you mentioned, and couldn't find what you are referring to.
Can you give a URL that takes us right to what you are talking about?
In regards to secret compartments, a great resource is Becksvoort's article in FWW Feb '89. If you own the "Best Of" CD, it's there.
Also, check this out....

It's a book about building secret rooms and compartments. I figure that whatever advise he gives on building secret rooms can be transferred on a smaller scale to furniture. I don't own this book, but it's on my list.
I think it was supposed to be http://www.hygra.com.

I just finished a bed for a couple friends in which I included 2 secret compartments. I used rare earth magnets to hold the secret compartments in place. I also used smaller rare earth magnets to hold the bolt hole covers in place. You can find these magnets at Woodcraft supply. They are on the net too.
