The Low Key OG
still the same OG, but I've been low key
Introduction:
No matter who you are, we're all human. We all have secrets and we all have the need to keep things concealed and hidden. Legal or illegal, you don't want it to be seen. Today, I'm here to direct you to various tutorials as to how you can stash your items in everyday products.

- Make sure the can is empty
- Take the plastic sprayer off
- Use a flat head screwdriver and some pliers and work at getting the top off. (may take a few minutes)
- It should fall down into the can
- You'll need to bend it so it will fit out through the top
What the metal part will look like once removed:

At this point, the medicine bottle won't quite fit in, so take some 600 grit sandpaper and sand at the rim to make it wider. Once wide enough, force the bottle in. Put the the cap on the bottle, and then push the top of the can on so it looks normal. It should just fit in. The bottle cap in the can top looks like this:

Then when you push the axe can top down and twist it comes off with the bottle top.

[multipage=Coke Can]
Coke Can
- Coke cans/soft drink cans/beer cans whatever you can find or want to use (these cans must be unopened)
- Sharp scalpel or knife
- Can opener
- 1 bag of plaster of paris
- 1 small glass jar with metal screw on lid (small spring valley bottles or those small jam bottles are good)
- cup or jug
- glue gun or strong super glue
Ok, now you have your materials, grab your unopened drink can and sharp knife/anything pointy and sharp.
Then on the bottom of the can make a small hole to drain the liquid out of the can (pic 1) into a cup or jug, this can be messy so start off with a small hole and slowly make it bigger. Once the can is empty we get to the tricky bit, I have ended up having to restart after this step.

Now to remove the top of the can. It’s actually not that hard once you know what you doing. Grab the can opener and grip it on the top of the can, making sure that the can opener is cutting the can part and not the top ’lid’ part. Some can openers won't allow you to cut like mine, but most will be able to do it properly.
You must login or register to view this content.
Once you have cut this lid off, clean it up and wash the can out thoroughly. The lid may contain a few little dags of metal so remove those if necessary. Now, you should be left with an empty can and a lid that fits on the top flush.
Now, take the glass jar and remove the screwtop lid. Take the top of the can and glue the jar lid to the bottom. Wait until it dries and screw it on the jar to test to see if it strong enough.
You must login or register to view this content.
Now to fill the can with the plaster. Mix it up in a bowl and you will only need enough to fill the can about half way. Then use a small bit of silicone or glue and patch up the hole we made in the bottom of the can, you don’t want any plaster leaking.
Take the top of the can with the lid glued to it and we screw it onto the jar. we then start to pour our plaster into the can filling it to about halfway. Once at half way, we take the jar and lid and place it in the can. This is to get the jar at the right height so it closes and looks like a normal can. If there is not enough plaster in the can, fill to the desired height and leave the lid on the can until the plaster has dried. We want the plaster to create a base for the jar but also hold it firmly inside the can. The plaster should cover at least half of the jar.
You must login or register to view this content.
After few hours, check to see if the plaster has dried. If it has, slowly unscrew the lid off the top of the can to test to see if the jar has held. Test screwing the lid on and off a few times just to see if everything is held and that is pretty much it.
You can modify the can and make it a bit more stealthy, and that is to add a water (or any other type of liquid) pack to the bottom of the can and plaster over it. This creates a liquid sound inside the can when it is shaken, so it even sounds real.

Book
The first step into making the hollow book is to select a book. Make sure this is a book your own, and not one belonging to the library, or your family. I suggest rummaging through books at yard/garage sales.
You must login or register to view this content.
Make sure it is a hardback; otherwise you will cut all the way through the other side when you are cutting out the insides.
You'll also need:
1. Elmer's white glue
2. a container to hold glue solution (I've chosen a film canister)
3. X-acto knife, and/or box cutter. Both if you have them
4. brush to apply glue solution
5. pencil/pen
6. ruler, or other rigid straight edge
Select a page that you want to be the first one cut out, and save that page to be cut out at the end. (I'll explain later) Even if you don't want to save any pages at the beginning of the book, you must set one aside for a later step.
Mix a solution of white glue and water. Just enough for the glue to be runny, and absorbed by the edge of the book's pages. 50% to 70% glue (30% to 50% water) worked well for me. - Half a film canister full was enough for this book.
Holding the remaining pages together, brush the edges with the glue solution - enough to soak in pretty well, but not too drippy.
You must login or register to view this content.
Allow this to dry, but use a spacer so the first couple pages, and the front cover don't get stuck. I spaced mine with post-it notes, and used some old hard disk platters to apply pressure. It dries quickly- about 15 to 30 min
You must login or register to view this content.
When dry, open the book to the first glued page.
Draw out a half-inch boarder around the edge on all four sides. (Don't forget along the spine too.)
You must login or register to view this content.
Using a strait edge and knife, cut out along the inside of the line. Try to make the cut as vertical as possible, or else try to tilt so the hole will narrow as you go down.
You must login or register to view this content.
Continue cutting down through the layers. I found that a box cutter was easier to keep straight. This part takes a long time. I recommend listening to music while you work. Watching TV though could be distracting, and you could also cut a page out of your finger. (no, I didn't.)
You must login or register to view this content.
The longer you spend on it, the smoother and straighter the inside edges of your book will be. My first attempts at this yielded rough edges, but the fuzz flattens down a little when glued (later).
After a while, you can store some of your tools in it while you take breaks. I did this book in 2 evenings.
You must login or register to view this content.
When you get to the back of the book, and through the last page, stop. Dump out all the little paper fuzz that inevitably comes from the cutting.
Next, brush the glue solution on the inside edges of the pages. Give it a bit to soak in. A little bit of drippiness is okay, as the glue dries clear. This is also a good time to apply a second coat to the outside of the pages with the excess glue.
You must login or register to view this content.
Brush the rim of the book with a light coat of glue. This will affix it to that one page we saved earlier (and will cut through later).
You must login or register to view this content.
Close the book again, this time without any spacers. Give it another 15-30 minutes to dry. Clean up any glue that drips on your desk, like it did mine.
You must login or register to view this content.
Remember that first page we saved? It’s now glued to the rest of the book. Lets all turn there now.
Cut through this first page with your knife to open it. The insides of the book may still be a little gooey since there was no air inside to let it dry. -So let it dry now.

When it’s dry, you're done!
Fill it with whatever treasured items (or contraband) you choose.

Those always come in handy, but you can make your own. With a normal sweatshirt the seam at the bottom if cut from the inside top to form a nice inlet for a little somethin sethin. I'll take a pic of one of mine soon.

take your jeans, or any pants, take a knife, open the jeans look at the piece of cloth that seems to be extra by the zipper, slice hole horizontally, boom stash pocket. depending on the pants you can fit alot of stuff in there, once i had a full ounce crammed in there and got patted down by the police and only got caught with the dime bag i had in my car :p
