With the right stickers on it I am not sure anyone would ever look there -- including the electrical inspector

Some electricians couldn't even find it.

We see electrical panels all day long --- why would we want to look at one away from work?

When I was production engineer in tool factory - long time ago - I build a small safe myself. Since it was in Prague, all houses are brick or concrete and all you needed was the front plate and a hole in the wall.
Anyway, I found some scrap metal - it was CSN19552 tool steel for aluminum molds, I think US equivalent would H13 - one inch thick plate. I squared it on a mill and drilled as big hole as possible in the middle and on big lathe turned corresponding piece. For the lock I used a door lock insert with some modifications. There were no hinges, you had to unlock the round piece and take it all out. The whole thing was 20 pounds or more and to take the door out you needed both hands. But it was free - and the steel was an overkill
Reminds me of friends dad. He worked in a Airplane factory and in the heap pile found a fan from turboprop engine. Next thing you know, it was a cutting blade on his push mower
