Buy Measured Drawings for the Outswing Hidden Door Bookcase

Thank you for your interest in my (now famous) Outswing Hidden Door Bookcase measured drawings!

I had never created project plans before, but since making two of these in our home and posting YouTube videos about them, I’ve been overrun with questions from people who want to build this project! I’m providing these drawings and tip sheet for $19.99 and have received positive feedback with several dozen sold. Note that by buying these plans, I’ll also send you any future revisions when they come out.

From experience, I know that I would have gladly paid $19.99 to simply know where to place these hinges and how much gap to leave around the bookcase. These plans will save you hours of work, trial and error, and countless brain cells!

What you can expect of your purchase:

  • Immediate access to a printable .pdf of measured pencil drawings of the project and a bonus page of hinge installation tips
  • Bookcase measurements and drawing showing construction technique
  • Hinge Location Template (very important for hinge installation in this project)
  • Clearance measurements from Outside of Bookcase to Door Frame Opening
  • Trim measurements for concealing door while allowing to pivot
  • Full page of hinge installation tips
  • Lifetime access to all future revisions of these drawings based on feedback
  • Access to personalized Q & A by emailing questions from the email address you purchase the plans through
This is the second one of these I built (and the one the drawings are based on):

This was the first one I built and is still a great reference (but the dimensions are not what you’ll find in the drawings as the opening was slightly different). The idea is the same though.

After printing these plans and watching the videos, you’ll also need:
