DIY Watch Vault

[Sain]

Came across this awesome DIY watch box. Hidden behind a frame. Seems fairly easy to make too.

Why need to hide your beloved watches?

Only need to put the frame up when you leave the house. Im most cases, having it right by the computer would allow you too see them even more often.

anyone with some decent instructions on how to make one of these? It's pretty darn cool.

My guess would be to buy a few of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Foam-Stre...7798?var=&hash=item7b67dd0b55&vti=Color Black

Then go to home depot and buy a PVC pipe that fits the diameter. A couple of coats of black spray paint should get you very close.

As for getting in wall cabinet, with a frame. That's something that's probably a bit trickier to do. But shouldn't be terrible hard to put together.

Did anyone else notice that the medicine cabinet is already there because he turned his bathroom into an office? That's why it's right next to a wall mirror.

Just read that, which makes sense now as to why the frame is so shallow to the wall. The cabinet was built into the wall, and he took advantage of this, which is neat. Converting a bathroom into an office on the other hand, well, no ideas other than he uses tissues a lot lol

I think it would be easy for thieves to find it?

Great idea there. The problem is nowadays thieves and burglars also go for medicine cabinets in the bathroom and are after prescription medications too. Best bet would be to keep your reps under your mattress together with a large boa constrictor. That'll show 'hem ! Great project by the way, and nice display ! :thumbsup:
