I would like to make a thin table of around 4 inches thick, but to conceal something that is actually 12 inches thick.
A bit like Copperfields buzz saw I have been told there are methods to get this correct, not the thing for beginners Can anyone advise me of some ways to go about this , what to look out for, Best books to get etc thanks rob

You may be asking the impossible, but check out Rand Woodbury's Base Book. It is still in print I believe.

Check out IllusionWorks 1 VHS Bases and Stairs. Illusion Works Book 1 & 2 are also good in this area. If you can find them.

Yup, I'll second that.... Illusionworks still one of the best out there for ideas! 3 cheers for Mr. Woodbury!

In understood that you want the table to appear 4 inches thick when in reality it is 12?
Ok, Rand´s Illusionworks 1 tape is a good reference. I would, however to make it look like less than 4 inches. We have made bases that appear a bit more than an inch but are in reality 10 inches. In this case the "main table area" (for a lack of a better word) is 1.2 inches thick and the space is concealed with other methods. You might want to check Alan Wakeling´s idea of using small legs to separate the container from the table and adding an inch or so of load chamber.
