Takes 9 chess move to open the secret compartment , Watch this video and see how !!!









This all started with an idea. Totally motivated by this website when I saw that there was a secret department/door contest. I've always wanted to make a secret compartment of my own. But it wouldn't just be satisfactory to have a secret department that somebody can't find I wanted to invent a trick to getting into the secret compartment a special combination that Only I would know, well at least not until I showed you know I made it. If I need to I could always change the combination of the pieces.



This is a chess table that I had made with a secret compartment underneath that is 8" x 9.5" x 3" deep. To unlock the secret compartment you have to move the chest pieces in a very pacific pattern to be able to unlock the door. I have chosen nine moves in all to complete the sequence. The moves are used by chess pieces that coordinate with their moves in the way they play in the game .



To make this all happened I have bought a cheap chess set for about $20 from target. I have a nightstand that I keep a couple books and chose to put The Secret compartment . The unlocking mechanism is is made with two dowels., PVC pipe, string, weights, seven pulleys of various sizes, 16 magnets .
