Design Scenario I chose this project because I had a great interest in making a false bottom lock box. After some research I learned of a drawer whos lock mechanism was the drawers being pulled out and aligned. I was fascinated by the mechanism and wanted to design my own unique box.
I designed this project so that I can learn about simple solutions to problems and so that I could have my own unique lock box.

Design Brief
I am going to design and make a hidden drawer lock box. It will feature:
Three drawers that can be freely pulled out
If all three drawers are aligned in the correct manner, the hidden drawer will become accessible
A lever to maximize the linear movement caused by the peg key

Highlighted the hidden compartment mechanism featured in National Treasure 2It is a desk that has a concealed drawer that can be exposed by pulling the individual drawers out to a certain lengthWhen done so, a button would pop outIf rotated and pushed, the secret compartment would spring openA complex mechanism was devised to complete this task

Once I decided I liked this design idea, I did more research and discovered other designs
I quickly found that my original similar design was very unique and one-of-a-kind
