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😎👌
I am surprised to see martin sir here😄😄
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.
Delighted youre back i hope youre feeling stronger and that you remember to be kind to yourself xxx
Really nice how you use the magnetic clamps.
It looks great -- like everything you do. I'm glad you're back, I hope you're well and I'm looking forward to all future projects of yours.
I’m so pleased you took care of you! You’re brilliant!
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
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.
Looks super clean, and very much your style. So glad to hear that you're doing well!
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.
Saludos desde México, que bueno que esta de vuelta, se te extraño ...I'm glad I'm back
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 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.
And BOOM!! the magic is back!! simple clean and beauty !!
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.
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!
Nice to see a new project from you and it is so very much you! Best wishes from Germany!
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!!!
Looks very nice, would like to see an adjustable standing desk version of this.
WTF.... Hello stranger! Glad to have you back in these crazy times, hope all is well.
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
Welcome back - I have missed your videos - glad to see you are going strong
Bom te ver de volta Cris! Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷
Glad to see you back! I hope you had some good rest time.
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! 🖖😊
Welcome back. Definitely missed your videos. Looking forward to your next installments.
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.
Hi Maria, it is amazing to read comments like yours. Thank you for such kindness and I am flattered to be inspiring you. Hugs from Porto!
That looks amazing, glad you are back after a well deserved break 😎
You're back! I miss your videos. As always minimalistic and beautiful
Super nice to know you are back and fully reloaded.
✌🏻🙅🏻♂️
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.
missed your videos. welcome back
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. :)
Thank you for your kind words!! :)
I think you're a genious! Good to see you back!
Welcome back. Definitely missed your videos looking forward to the next installments
Love the clean lines.
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.
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 !
Such a great project! Welcome back, you were missed.
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.
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.
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.
It’s long time we miss your videos .
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.
I love how functional this is.
Glad you are back. Please continue to take proper care of yourself.
Welcome back! This one was worth the wait!
hi Cristiana, great work - very satisfying and enjoying watching your projects. Greetinx from Tirol/Austria
Great to see you back, another great project.🪚
Long time no see … where are you ,,,, we miss you
I am not even into building my own furniture but I just being so enterained by your video. Keep it up!
Glad to see you back! I always enjoy your videos.
Glad you’re back and feeling better! Great work!
Ooh dreaming of this, my biggest complaint about my apartment is not enough space for a piano! Looks great!
Ohhh I absolutely loved that build!!!!🤯❤️🤍🔥
I'm in love with this project... congratulations and thank you for making it available to us. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That cross cut @6:56 gave me flashbacks to a kickback I had with a similar cut.
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.
What a great project... from scrap pieces! Amazing result!
UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE PERÚ..ME DA MUCHO GUSTO QUE HAYAS SUBIDO UN VIDEO LA VERDAD QUE TIENES UN GRAN TALENTO LO QUE TU HACES .TE ADMIRO MUCHO..MUCHAS BENDICIONES
Fantastic work as always Cristiana! Boooooom!!! 👍👍👍
Hellavu "BOOM"! We missed you!
Love it!
Hi Matthew, I’m so happy to see you here on my channel!! ☺️ I love your videos!
Me too! :)
Your English is very good, like that is your native language. And you have good carpenting skills🙂
Dave Wave is awesome! I love Electroswing!
Very happy to see you again at work ❤️
❤ man you are a genius. That’s what I need! I don’t have tools and stuff though.
The best I could do is buy a desk that can rise to standing height and out it at the end of my bed. I put my keyboard in front toward me, towards the bed. Then I set the laptop stand behind it.
I can set the height according to what I am doing, but it would be nice to slide the keyboard away or put for use.
Beautiful 🤩
💕
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!
first time in the channel! I don't remember the last time I saw a video with such this level of quality and production! congratulations
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).
was wondering where you have been. Good to see you back!
The work is fantastic and inspiring.
How have i just now found your videos? I love your sense of design!
Love the lil recital at the end 💜
you have taken the job to another level👍
Nice to see you back!! Nice desk!!!
Awesome build
That grey MDF is amazing! It looks like concrete.I need to get some
I like your designs and ideas. But your builds always impress me too. So you have the full packet. 👍
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.
Awesome build, Cristiana! I'm glad to see you back. Please continue taking care of yourself.
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
Glad you are back!
You can also make a piece of covering over the digital piano as the height of the digital piano is mostly about the same height as the normal desktop. In this manner you can still let your digital piano remain portable (movable) while extending the table breadth.
Amazing work and video Cry! You are a SuperMaker ❤
Great to see you back in action! Love the build and looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Welcome back !! Glad to see you again :)
From France, September 2023
I'm watching your video again, just for fun, it's even better than looking at works of art:
I absolutely don't know how to DIY and therefore admire your professional work.
And beyond knowing how to “tinker” you still need to have the sophisticated equipment to achieve it.
The idea of saving space is really ingenious, and what's more, it's also aesthetically pleasing.
For my keyboard model, there are small holes underneath on the left and right for the speakers. If this is also the case for your keyboard, have you thought about creating ventilation in the wood to avoid overheating?
As far as I'm concerned, I was lucky that my keyboard could fit exactly in the "shell" of my old clavinova which was irreparable (I had the entire interior of the clavinova removed, and was then able to fit my new keyboard inside, and you really have to look twice to detect this new installation).
BRAVO for your work and thank you for sharing it.
Love this desk, so stylish. Great to have you back, I hope your time away has helped you feel refreshed.
Great to have you back! Exquisite, great looking, functional. Like always! Love it.
Another great project! Thanks!
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!
Great project, I congratulate you 👏👏👏
Glad to see your back. Missed your videos & you. Hope you're doing well. Great project & video 👍👍🪚
Glad you're feeling better.
To combine a workplace with full-sized piano is always a clallenge. Good job!
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.
You have alot of tools that that I have not seen before. I like your knowledge of the build. good luck in future builds you are talented.
Another fantastic build, Cris! Sharing on The Awesomer.
This project came up on my watch feed. This is a really cool idea and perfect for small places.
