Hollowed Out Book

[anthrounit]

What would be cool to do is show us how to hollow out a book like Neo did in the first Matrix movie for misc things, or just custom fit something in it like my idea was my fon router when i finally get it.

Nice idea...lots of guides around tho....just wondering where you would conceal the antenna...or not.

A book is a brilliant disguise, don't get me wrong...but it may look funny with an antenna sticking out of it.

Unless you connect an alternative antenna and have it lay along, inside the spine of the book.

i still think that pepsi idea was great...i think digip made a post about it

Maybe we could use the book with the antenna inside or make a custom antenna that is built into some kinda strap like you would see around some of those mid evil type of books or a diary something along those lines.

a pineapple looks less strange? lol

[anthrounit]

it does attract some attention especially with its weird straw that no one can use....in a matter of speaking.

well a book hollowed wouldnt look bad, nor bring much attention, and/or block the antenna power, get a black sided book, and drill a hole, then place the (black) antenna in there and it would blend (lol) in.

[RogueHart]

well anyway the way i did it was took an old crap book i didnt want and grabbed my exacto knives and just cut as much as i could away in squares. once i finished i tried to line it up a bit so the hole would be fairly even. after than just tape off the square so nothing falls through or it gets messed up(depending on what your storing) and you have a nice hollow book. useful for storing stuff you dont want people to find. well assuming you have a nice bookshelf as i do lol. otherwise it might seem out of place and someone might randomly check it.

Saw some fake books in a gadget store in Birmingham today. Called 'Safe Books', they are fake Collins Dictionaries with a slide opening at the bottom.

I believe an easier way of doing this is by gluing all the pages together along with the back cover, leave the front cover open so it dotn get glued down as well. Then cut out your hollow area.

[anthrounit]

i have looked into that but just putting glue on every single page will get that wet book look so maybe if its hollowed out the inside can be hot glued or whatever kind of glue you would like to use but my idea was to use something like screws or nails just some that dont go all the way just take one going down through the book and another going up that way it will look normal and those pages arnt going anywhere. plus without the inside glue whatever you put inside will fit snug so nobody hears it moving around inside if your walking with it or moving it to them it should be just another boring book.

dont make the mistake i did. use a hardcover book. paperback sux lol
