I need info on Building hidden doors in bookcases. Sometime in the last few months a woodworking magazine had a article on this but now my copy of the mag has vanished. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Isn't that kinda like the Emperor's New Clothes?
FHB had it a couple months ago
do a search for the subject in the past few weeks. Just saw a long thread on this recently.

rob,
I posted about this a while back. I had some problems w/ mine. Luckily, the advice here helped to rectify that.
Piffin also recently had a thread on these. There is a recent article in FHB (w/in the last 4 issues) and Gary Katz has a post on his website about building some.
Try a search for the threads using hidden bookcase and the names. I don't want to seem lazy, I just don't know how to post the link.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike. It was fun. We screwed it up a few different ways, but it still worked. I guess that was part of the fun. I enjoyed meeting you, too. I won't forget that.
