So glad you took time for yourself to heal and come back stronger, a lesson for everyone creating content on RUclips. I have really enjoyed the whole apartment series of videos Cris, bravo.
This is one of the coolest desk builds I've ever seen! I've been self-teaching the piano for about 3 years now. I picked up a Roland FP-30 a few weeks into my journey with it, and something I've always wanted was a desk to combine the piano and other things (like my computer) into one space. Especially since I primarily used my Roland hooked up to my computer anyway. I've never done woodworking in my life, nor have I ever built a desk in my life. Built lots of things, lots of handcrafted arts and crafts projects and electronics projects, but never anything involving woodworking. I didn't even know how to create some kind of slide-out drawer. I appreciate this video very much, because it gives me an idea of what kind of things I will need to do in order to build my ultimate "dream desk". Currently my FP-30 sits on the way too expensive Roland wooden furniture stand with built-in pedals. One of these days I just might cut up some wood and throw something together like this :). Thank you for taking the time to build this and show the process. I appreciate it very much.
I admire all ur wrk. Im 69 yrs old & in my next life i would be a carpenter just because of you. You really care about your creations. You are also very detailed which helps a lot for us to learn & understand. Tyvvm I enjoy watching your work.
I really like the cleanliness and the rigorosity of the design of your works, still not compromising with functionality and taking advantage of every cube inch of space
I'm glad you came back after a long time with a new project. As always, perfect and neat workmanship and interesting tools. The hiding place in the plinth is great.
I showed this video to my parents on the evening it came out: both were very impressed with your skills and versatility! Your attention to precision and detail is phenomenal, Cris. I guess now that the tiny apartment nears being finished, you still have enough ideas to keep you occupied, right 😂 I really enjoy watching your videos and am glad that you had your time off to take car of your health. It's what many of us don't do enough… Stay safe and enjoy your home and nature, now that spring is coming. All the best, Micha.
Very cool. I made a table a few years ago for my son, but he had more space. This time I'll make a smaller one and you gave me some great ideas. And congratulations for making the project available. A big hug from Brazil.
Superb work as usual. Where you impress is the way your work looks, it is always beautifully designed, not just well made, and it looks different to anything made by others. Before I start my next round of work for my home I will rewatch some of your videos to get ideas for ways to use colour and contrast.
Your videos are right to the point, just enough detail, no fluff. I thank you for sharing your projects, skill and learning experiences. I wish all sites were this could. Very good narrative. Please keep posting. Love your shop too. :)
That is really clever and nice looking! We have a piano in our living room like this and it is honestly an eyesore in the cabinet it is in now. This was great inspiration. Thanks for sharing and glad you are doing better health wise.
So happy to see you back! Love the project - a great use of scrap wood. The hard maple provides a great contrast. I've used the paste wax trick with screws in various hardwoods, and it makes a huge difference.
So good to see you back! I briefly visited Portugal last year, and wanted to check out some materials we don't have here in the states. This built-in, brava!!!
I’m always impressed by your ability to visualize your designs, especially regarding the Tiny Apartment space. Your solutions are clean and elegant. You’re one of my favorite makers.
Your level of organization is beyond belief. Truly an inspiration. Every single girl growing up should balance her Barbie exposure with common sense like this. Dolls don't make things and solve problems.....our minds and ingenuity do. Women can bring so much to the construction sector and until now have been largely ignored. Well everyone loses when that happens. You are a stark testament to that. We all can do so much more if we just start and let it just flow, unimpeded by society and its conventions and expectations. Wipe that all aside and start fresh. Finding a channel like this is like finding mental gold. Thank you for taking the care and time to bless us with your incredible skills and work. It uplifts people everywhere.
Very inspirational! Not that I am a pianist or anything, but I do like to see how other people tackle their space constraints. It's an increasingly topical issue, especially in urban environments, that forces us to critically reflect on how we use space, without compromising too much on other fronts.
I hope you gained new strength, rested. You have to allow yourself to rest from time to time. As always, I feel inspired by my own projects. Thank you very much.
I've been watching your videos for many years. I've seen you evolve and get better and better at what you do. Your creativity is very inspiring. Keep getting hands dirty, In a few weeks i will begin getting mine dirty too. Thanks.
This is my most favourite build on the entire RUclips. I always had to consider space issues when thinking of purchasing a piano and I always put it off because of that. This became my dream project & I hope I can give it a try one day
this is incredible, i’ve been struggling with needing more desk space in my office but do not have another place in my house to put my keyboard. this is the perfect solution and will prevent my cat from getting her dirty little paws all over the keys. beautiful work as always!
This video has helped me solve an Incredibly niche problem that I’m facing. I have such a small office and all of the things I own (and want to keep) are big. This is such and great design. Thanks you for sharing the videos that arnt “mass market” stuff. This kind of content is why RUclips is such an awesome platform! Much love 🇦🇺
Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I thought about other ways to have table/piano combo, but this one looks both decent and efficient to use (no folding/flipping/tetris).
Hey, glad to see you back ! 'forced to rest my body and mind'. Yeah, i've been there. Take care of yourself. Don't let RUclips pressure take the best of you. There is only one of you. This is a very nice build. I need a piano desk, yours gives me a lot of ideas. Take care !
That was such a beautiful build and wonderful design, I love the extra storage you have all over the place in that room, such a wonderful use of space and it looks so neat and classy. Such a great video
Looks great, nice work on all the stopped cuts for handles. Your clamp wall looks good, for some reason I thought it was going to be on the wall opposite the door to the balcony. Cute gloves.
Thank you! This looks just awesome. I won't tell anyone about the secret drawer... Welcome back! Take your time for the following vids. No hurry, no worry.
I love the little rolling cabinet, with the secret drawer! It is so functional, cute, and nice! I was quite surprised you didn't make two of them... for more storage and a more symmetrical look! Just a thought!
Maybe consider adding synchronisation rods, since the drawer is much wider then it is deep and the slides are not rated to function properly for this width
Thought about it, problem is, the Blum ones would get in the middle of the leg cutout area, defeating its purpose once the bar is there. Doesn't work too bad as is, honestly.
I actually built this a year and a half ago after seeing the original Murphy bed video you posted and I realized I needed an environment change during covid, so I built my own Murphy bed, reused an old couch as the moveable legs and made the desk from scraps. The whole desk was exactly like this one only it used the cabenit as a support so it was not floating (as a tip the middle of the piano shelf may start to bow after extended playing or from wear and tear). Great video though, I never had the courage to film myself building it all.
Fantastic work, Cris! Really beautiful!!! 😃 I wish you good health! Specially mental health, we're all needing it in this crazy times. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making the plans available for purchase. It’s just what I need. I’ve never built anything before, but really need a piano desk like this, so I guess it’s time to learn! Thanks again for sharing your expertise, I appreciate it so much!
Just 'found' this channel. Intelligent design, superb attention to detail, well produced video and the best looking and best equipped workshop I have seen. The end result is fantastic as well. I plan to spend time catching up with your older videos.
Hi, Cristiana - so glad you're back, and well. I have a desk in my office, and a very clumsy arrangement for my Yamaha electronic keyboard. This is just the thing for it!
I would love a full tour of the tiny apartment once it's finished!
Yes, great idea!
Me too ❤️
Me too
I'm watching your videos for several years now and love the clean and classy look of your builds combined with high quality craftsmanship.
I can say the same for your videos etoe😎👌

So happy to see you back! Love the project - a great use of scrap wood. The hard maple provides a great contrast. I've used the paste wax trick with screws in various hardwoods, and it makes a huge difference.
What a beautiful surprise to see a video posted from you. We love and support you. Do what you need for yourself, we'll always be here for you
So good to see you back! I briefly visited Portugal last year, and wanted to check out some materials we don't have here in the states. This built-in, brava!!!

Dave Wave is awesome! I love Electroswing!

You're back! I miss your videos. As always minimalistic and beautiful
Really nice how you use the magnetic clamps.
Super nice to know you are back and fully reloaded.
✌🏻🙅🏻♂️
That was such a beautiful build and wonderful design, I love the extra storage you have all over the place in that room, such a wonderful use of space and it looks so neat and classy. Such a great video
That is awesome!
Looks great, nice work on all the stopped cuts for handles. Your clamp wall looks good, for some reason I thought it was going to be on the wall opposite the door to the balcony. Cute gloves.

You always make great job, I'm impressed. This piano desk gives me ideas to make one for my daughter. Thank you for sharing all this stuff.
you have taken the job to another level👍
Very happy to see you again at work ❤️
I loved it when you played with the thin paper cut off piece... I think we all do that... made me giggle.
I love the little rolling cabinet, with the secret drawer! It is so functional, cute, and nice!
I was quite surprised you didn't make two of them... for more storage and a more symmetrical look!
Just a thought!
Great build and so nice to see you back again! You've been missed! ❤
Great to see you back, another great project.🪚
Glad to see you back! I always enjoy your videos.
Maybe consider adding synchronisation rods, since the drawer is much wider then it is deep and the slides are not rated to function properly for this width
Thought about it, problem is, the Blum ones would get in the middle of the leg cutout area, defeating its purpose once the bar is there. Doesn't work too bad as is, honestly.
Wow, the apartment is really coming along and has such a clean look with all the matching units.
Thanks Adam!
WTF.... Hello stranger! Glad to have you back in these crazy times, hope all is well.
Your vids are so clean and beautiful
Another great project! Thanks!
Beautiful! Well done and solid craftsmanship!
Adoro ver como você trabalha, é espetacular a limpeza e o bom gosto que você tem
Amazing! Well done, Cris!
Absolutely love this! Perfection. Precision. Function. Quality. Genius!

I wish you good health! Specially mental health, we're all needing it in this crazy times. 😕
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making the plans available for purchase. It’s just what I need. I’ve never built anything before, but really need a piano desk like this, so I guess it’s time to learn! Thanks again for sharing your expertise, I appreciate it so much!

Such a cool space, nice work!
Love the production values of the video, as well as the build. Thanks for sharing.
It’s long time we miss your videos .
Hi, Cristiana - so glad you're back, and well. I have a desk in my office, and a very clumsy arrangement for my Yamaha electronic keyboard. This is just the thing for it!
Hey you're happy, feeling glad, you've got sunshine in a bag. Super Glad to have your amazing skills on display once more!
The future is coming on. That's for appreciating!
WONDERFUL! It's so great to see you back! You've returned with a sensational project. Thank you very much.
To combine a workplace with full-sized piano is always a clallenge. Good job!
