Coat Rack with a secret

My wife forwarded an add for a company called NJ Conceal that showed a coat rack that was also a hideaway for a small firearm, or your personal effects. Her brother has been wanting one, so I made one for him based on the one in the add. Made this from Ash, with Oak shaker pegs. I don’t own a lathe, and am not skilled enough with a drill press to turn these myself, so they were purchased off Amazon. There is a magnetic lock that keeps your valuables safe and hidden, unless you know where the key is. It was pretty fun to make. I plan on making a few more for co-workers. I think next time I’ll make them a bit longer, and make the back board a little narrower. Also, I won’t screw up the hinge cup placement on the next one! LOL.

Thanks for looking, and have a good one!

Hey Jeff! I’m surprised at how fast things travel. Credit for the design, however, goes to a company called NJ Conceal. They make several variations, as well as a bunch of other products designed for firearm concealment. Mine was based on their design. I’m making some for friends and family, but not selling for profit.

I love hidden access pieces. Having just finished a bunch over the winter I know the satisfaction people have when getting the finished piece. Most pieces people will say that’s nice or that’s great, but, when you give a person a piece with a hidden compartment they seem to light up and really go over ever inch. They seem to appreciate your skills a lot more. Great job by the way!
