    I really want to say thank you for showing your mistakes. You could have just as easily edited it out and said it was perfect the first time, but you showed what really happened and showed how you overcame and fixed it. I love your channel for that, how real you are with your viewers!!

    There's something about how precisely you make things and the design language you use that I just feel super inspired by watching your videos. Can't wait for the next instalment in your series!

    You are absolutely amazing. What can't you do? Honestly, my boyfriend and I are watching all of these videos together and are just in awe of you. He's pretty smart when it comes to building furniture, and while watching your videos, there are SO many moments where he pauses just to say "OMG that's so clever". Love love love your work!

    The joys of renovation :D everything gives you a headache , and you want to burn the house down every ten minutes, but when you are done you are prouder than ever to live there with everything you have done, nothing feels more like home than this! I'm super excited for the upcoming videos !!!!! I'm gonna start renovating my house very soon and ALSO i will make myself a new wood shop to start building guitars again ! So your videos gives me a lot of motivation !!! Keep up the good work !

    As someone who lives in a very tiny studio apartment, I've been looking into how to build some of the things I'd like to replace to be more efficient in the space. Your videos have been so incredibly helpful! I've watched and rewatched them all so many times. Thank you for documenting your builds!

  • @pleasetakemynamenow
    @pleasetakemynamenow 6 лет назад

    Hey great video! I tried to see in the comments if it was mentioned but did not find it. You don’t need to add trim around along the wall. Use some white caulk. Those inconsistencies completely disappear and you retain that amazing clean look! That is very nice!!

    I love your talent. You just say let's do this and that and that and then demonstrate it and then there is the perfect result. I consider myself not entirely incompetent as regards amateur projects and crafting but I'd never achieve your competence. I am not feeling incompetent or frustrated but... hats off, lady!

    I did come to your channel through the weird RUclips algorithm and I'm so happy. We have a bathroom who was designed for my grandfather in his wheelchair. As he passed away the bathroom was unused and now belongs to a rent out room for students. But with the unusual measurements you don't find any furniture for it. My mother insisted I should make something but this is a whole different league to what I did till now. So now thanks to you I at least get the idea how to do that and what I have to watch out for and get this off my back.
    Love your channel and envy you about all your equipment!

    Great job!
    I’m glad you have the courage to show were you made a mistake or two and go and improve and correct. Most people wouldn’t even try for fear to mistakes.
    As for the glue: a shoe-maker told me once that contact cement can be diluted down with the same solvent the glue is based on (tolueno in Spanish). I couldn’t try it myself because it is a controlled substance in Argentina, but maybe you can try it.
    Greetings and my best!

    @MakingAndFixing 6 лет назад

    Wow! MDF in the bathroom - brave! Even with varnish or paint I wouldn't touch MDF. But it was nice to see you using just a track saw to cut the MDF and no table saw was used, as many people only have minimal tools to use for DIYs. Good video!

    • @becomingjoana

    The materials you used are gonna hold up to the moisture of the bathroom.
    I saw a similar Cabinet at the bathroom showroom for about $650-$850 USD
    And that is without the sink which adds only another $100 to $200 USD
    With your skills and shop you saved a ton of money!

    Great design and construction, as always. Love those handles - so simple and elegant ! Also thanks for the tip on using the router for veneer leaf trimming, it looks so much better than the more traditional methods. Really looking forward to this series.

  • @SavvasPapasavva
    @SavvasPapasavva 6 лет назад +2

    Great build and good technique for getting the straight edge on the veneer. You can use a bit of caulk or silicone to hide the edge against the wall. You could also used packers near the wall fixings so the unit isn't pulled out of shape when following the walls contours, but then that might mean more caulking. Well done! :)

It would be great for you to give us a tour of this apartment now before you fill it up with the projects that you will add to it so we all see the before and the after. Thanks Cris and I will be looking forward to everything you do because you are awesome girl ! :-) Dennis

    Just a quick tip when test fitting domino's. Have 4-6 spare domino's that you have sanded down lightly. This makes them easier to remove when test fitting. I mark them with a black marker so I don't use them on project. Keep up the great work and video's!

    Nice work. I really recommend to change the hanging system for the vanity to the wall as eventually the system you used can fail. You can use the hanging hardware that companies such as bloom, Indaux or Häfele had developed. Let me know what you think.

    Hello Cristiana! Greetings from the Philippines! I just have to say I am enjoying immensely your content. It almost seems therapeutic for me to watch these videos as a daily ritual. You are obviously an artistic individual - and perhaps it would be of interest to other subscribers (I know it would be to me) - if you can expand your projects to outdoor settings (ie: a vertical garden or a minimalist bird feeder or a wood and concrete outdoor bench) - it seems right up your alley and your take on could be quite astounding.
    Keep up the good work - congratulations on your success! :-)

    Looks very nice, super using those drawer runners. about that, most of the hardware companies they have also a CAD database and online links with mounting and assembly instructions and specs and you can download pdf files or even some CAD formats that you can import and use in a 3D. Some companies mark their product
    and some of them have also a serial # or part #. If they do not have, the supplier or reseller can provide this information and you can search the product on the company's website, there you will find the necessary information. Keep up the good work, cheers!

    Vanities can be a pain in the ace. I'm *re*building one today, so basically just copying the old one because the particle-board sides are swelled and damaged from water over the years. All I gotta' do is account for the tile width that I added underneath it, and maybe get a better fit into the wall tile that it came out of. Oh and good luck getting those drawer slides to work, I've never had great luck with them. I think john heinz did a vid on them tho
