Commentaire sur de DIY Hacks & How To : commutateur chandelier Secret par asciimation

By Jason Smith of Poel

No feature in a home captures the imagination like a secret compartment or the secret passage. But no secret compartment is complete without a secret way to open it.

In this project, I share several ways that you can use a single chandelier hanging (or something else) to access a hidden compartment. There are many ways that you can do. You can use a candlestick to open latches on physical and activate electrical circuits. The only limit is your imagination. Therefore use this as an excuse to have fun and build a secret compartment in your home.

Comment on Seventeen Sneaky Secret Hides by stan

To celebrate the publication of my little stash project in MAKE Vol 34, I’ve rounded up a pseudorandom smattering of some of my favorite secret-hiding-place posts from our online archives. Some of these link to MAKE pages, some like to outside content, and some (in a few cases where outside links have died) don’t link anywhere, and are just included for inspiration. The sneaky state-of-the-art is always advancing—hopefully you’ll find something herein that drives you to new depths of deviousness!

Oh, and check out MAKE Vol 34. It’s full of awesome stuff, as always. Cheers!

The current issue of MAKE will get you started. Explore robot prototyping systems, ride along with the inventors of the OpenROV submersible, and learn how you can 3D-print your own cutting-edge humanoid robot for half the price. Plus, build a coffee-can Arduino robot, a lip balm linear actuator, a smartphone servo controller, and much more
