How to make a secret compartment in a drawer?

Most secret compartments are a false bottom in the drawer creating a space between it and the regular bottom that you can hide things in. The false bottom is hinged on one end and has a latch on the other. Think in terms of a regular cabinet door.

The hole that is referred to is next to the latch and serves as a handle or knob to aid in opening the door.
