How long took you to make the bed
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Gosto muito do seu canal. Quanto deu de profundidade a cama com o sofa (a distância da parede até a frente do sofa)?
I can’t WAIT!! I’ve been looking for this EXACT thing for my apartment.
Passion, talent, skill, experience, design, all in one video ❤
Your videos are more like short films to me, and with woodworking being the subject matter, I couldn’t be more in love. Thank you for sharing your art and being a real life inspiration!
The real skill displayed here is discipline. The amount of planning, work, obtaining background knowledge, attention to detail is incredible.
Rainbow plywood? Wow. Love it. You make this look easy, but that's a testament to how good you now are.
Fantastic bed. I majored in furniture design back in the 70's where all we had was a table saw, band saw, circular saw, jointer, flex shaft sander and hand tools. It took me an entire semester to make one laminated and carved coffee table. I'd have to learn how to do it all over again with all these new devices, but I'm sure things would go a whole lot faster and be a whole lot more accurate than what we ended up with back then.
This Chick just knocks it out of the park. She is a go getter times a million I cant build a birdhouse. She indeed is a great carpenter and designer indeed . one of best DIY vids I have ever seen. rating 1 million starrrrrssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very jealous of all the tools you have and how well you are able to plan and execute your projects. I have been a maker for nearly 20years and haven't reached your level. Keep it up!
Dear Christiana, you are too cool for school. Way too cool. I am in my 70th year and just adore your creativity. Love your style, calmness, everything. Keep on creating. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia 😎🌟
I'm absolutely blown away how creative and skilled you are. I sat there in my living room watching the build. Incredible. 💙
I loved the precision in which you use to fabricate your furniture. You are a great teacher and had lots of hints and tricks. I liked the fact you shared your mistakes during the build.
The rainbow details and all the work that went into them is amazing!!! I love your attention to detail.
Oh my God! What an equipment arsenal!!! Nobody hasn't same like that. Many expensive and professional tools. How did You get them? Are You a millionaire? That's a big dream... Good job, good tools!
This is so cool, my grandfather used to work with wood, this reminded me of him. Great work!
11:16 adidas ultraboost!!! 😍😍😍 best shoe ever created !!! those are the triple back, I have ones too and are ones of my favorite colorways. love them!!! thanks for you video too. Love your channel!
A couple of observations/comments: You look rather young for your 'old age'. I was impressed by your carpentry skills. I appreciate your abbreviated editing. Initially didn't think the rainbow wood theme would work. I was wrong! It is quite tasteful. After watching your video, I almost wish I could build something like what you've accomplished. A definite like!
Thank you! I’m happy to know you liked in the end :) and I’m gonna turn 30 in a couple months so...Ahah
U are a genius, and soooo talented. Havent a clue how you could possibly do this by yourself, amazing. No loud annoying music either. Thank you
OMG you have saved me! I was looking for some DIY wall murphy bed from scratch because I would like the bed higher from the floor. Could you tell me if your idea made the cabinet be taller because of the change you have made? Thank you so muchhhh for the video!!!
Because I'm your fan, my father became a fan of you. He is a retired mechanical engineer and he's following you and he admire the quality and creativity of your work. Congrats, and please.... still creating !
I love this. The rainbow strip was awesome !
I'm extremely proud of you youngster I enjoy all of your videos also the quality of your work I've been a Master Carpenter and General Contractor for over thirty five years and I like what you do and what your able to do thumbs up my friend
I wish I was this talented and that I had the motivation. I want this bed
This is the first time I have seen your channel... I love how you video and then explain/narrate the video separately!! I want to learn how to do that very important quality control skill.
Thank you for sharing your work! The details with the color are fantastic.
Frigin AWESOME! Nice work. Nothing like taking a break from assembling a Murphy bed to watch a vid of someone actually building their own. Wish I had the time, skills, tools to do this!
I just want to say...that your work is awesome!!!!
Brilliant. I love the rainbow layers and the sofa design in front.
Your inventiveness is inexhaustible
You are an incredible artist and craftsman. I absolutely love your creativity, and your ability to simplify the complex.
Wonderful filming, project, editing and explanations!
your skills are MAD !! I am blown away every video... you are amazing !
Awsome build! I like the detail made out of skatboard scrap! You are very talented my friend! You not only make beautiful furniture but also excellent videos
Seriously loving this series! Was living in a 325 square foot studio for a while and still want to embrace tiny living. This gives me so many ideas!
I love the rainbow details, tiny yet so much impact on the looks
Your such a crafty beaver... I wish I had a sliver of your fantastic skills. I'd be living in a wood fortress and an endless supply of saw dust.
The rainbow details are so good! I love your attention to the tiny things.
You can create great things without stolen from kids rainbow.
@@vadim3976 The rainbow belongs to nature and anyone who finds it's beauty. You can't steal what belongs to us all.
@@wubzzinator yeah, sure.
The rainbow is a natural sign of nature that GOD brought into existence as a symbol of his promise to never destroy the world again with water!!!
It is obvious that it is true as no where in history does it contest the fact, by documenting that there was rainbows before the flood, as we have writings and drawings from before the flood, like the summerian tablets and no where were rainbows ever mentioned!!!
@@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639 Brah, you believe what you like. Others can enjoy the rainbow. It's literally light that travels millions of miles from our Sun, and every other star in the sky, cast down through moisture in the atmosphere like a prism. ALSO, the world wide flood didn't happen. There were thriving, documented civilizations during the time the Earth was supposedly covered.
Let others live life and enjoy it's beauty.
Well I just subscribed. Awesome bed.
My toxic trait is thinking Im capable of making this myself
😂😂😂
Oh good for you! (sarcastic quotes is mine)
My anxiety kicked in lol
Same!😂
It is not a question if you are capable or not (you defenetly are). The question is how determinado you are towards archieving it and how many tries, mistakes and corrections it will take you to make it if you actually decide to do it
loved the video and i should say when i saw the free plans i could not believe it. im so happy I'm gonna make it this month
Loved the rainbow idea, you really think like an artists but work like a craftsman…best of both worlds!
What an incredible woman! I am impressed.
You are a genius! Love to watch you work!!! Master craftsperson!!!
There's something really attractive about a person who is so handy and capable and works with their hands
Speechless😳 You did a GREAT JOB!!
So happy to have come Across your channel watching u do ur wood work is like Meditation !!! The Rainbow Detail was simply mind blowing considering Its The RainBow pride Month !!! HappyHappy pride to all our sisters and brothers across the GLOBE !!! KEEP SHINING !!!
Always nice to see a Get Hands Dirty alert from UA-cam! Keep up the good work.
I'm from Mexico. You are amazing Cristiana, I've learned to much about this thing because of you. Congratulations and keep making this videos
👍🏻👍🏻 The Luxury to Custom Built Your Own Furniture 💖💖💖💖💖
More than just being super adorable, this is the first time (month or so of "Lockdown") I've seen that tip using the wedge to control the long cut. Brilliant! Thank you for making this video!
I love the way you document your process - even the messups. I think the little rainbow accents are really cute and fitting!! Thank you for sharing this cool project!!
Thank you for the straighforward description and design tips. I may be asking my girlfriend to help me with this, when I get my new flat and she comes over to visit, but if not, then maybe my daughter also, if she's available to come and help her old mum! 👵🏻😁
Either way, with a bit of luck, THIS and the Rockler and Clunex links you kindly shared, I hope to have a spare room that my grandkids can use, when they come and visit their grandma! 🤞🏼
And yeah, my daughter gets my bed, and I sleep on the sofabed in the living room... all according to plan, and thanks to you! 🥰
Soo inspiring as always!!! Loved the "skate board"stripes!!!
Odd Life Crafting Thanks guys! 😃
These two companion videos are awesome! I finally get to build my cabin in the woods and will be making this entire unit for it. Thank you for the inspiration and instruction!
Seriously cool! I love the little rainbow details you added. Family drama prevented me from watching when it was actually June, but IMO _every_ month is pride month!
That rainbow ply idea is genius! So is the idea to put a sofa in front of the bed, makes the room far more usable.
You are amazing! I love your craftsmanship and how detailed you are with not only your work, but with helping us to understand what you're doing and why. That pop of color is a stroke of genius. Really makes a difference in the look. *Happy Subscriber*
the details on you builds are astounding. I love the minimalist aesthetic
Love the rainbow plywood you made. Great idea.
Loved how much attention you payed to details!
Unreal finished product! As per usual, your work is so detailed and thoughtful. Absolutely love the clean lines, the colour added and warm feel :)
the colored plywood and broken skateboard stuff is so cool!!!
I love this episode so much more than the rest of yours ! Your frustration and emotions are things I feel when I build and learn to be a maker, love your truths and your designs are beautiful and chic ! Keep up the great work
Не перестаю удивляться этой девченкой. На столько сделано все профессионально. Видео монтаж, работа руками и инструментом. В слабый пол я не верю. Есть просто, ни на что, не способные люди. Мое уважение к автору.
Tu tens uma habilidade fantástica. Parabéns.
Acredito que vais entender, já que moras em Portugal.
Congratulations Cristiana !! Fantastic The project is even more fantastic is its skill with tools and wood, giving them the planned shapes and functionality. Once again congratulations, for everything you demonstrate with your skills as a wooden artisan.
Metric is so much easier over imperial.
Love your work... so neat
We Americans are such a pain in the butt about this, aren't we? The thing is we really have tried to convert to metric. I learned about it in school, but no one uses it so metric is like some freak thing that requires conversion apps on our phones rather than anything practical.
@@prntrfxr Ahah well, I think it's a matter of getting used to it as a young kid or not. I understand the idea of dividing things into parts of themselves and it makes sense but the problem starts when my inch has a different size from your inch so it really stops making any sense at all for me. I cannot relate to it, it's like I could never fit into the measurement and the concept falls apart. And 1 inch being about 2,5 cm is a rather "big" measurement to start with, I think... ahah
@@GetHandsDirty Yes, and I was willing to learn it, but if I go to a hardware store in the US and give them metric, they will definitely give me a dirty look and I would have to convert it back to metric for them. All products sold here also have metric dimensions on the boxes, but no one pays much attention to that unless they are from another country. It is very funny, but although Americans adopt a lot of new things, this is one thing they won't change. I am 50 years old. I had Metric system in school. My brother who is in his 30's also had it, but no one uses it. Oh well. But I agree that Metric would be easier if we would use it. Maybe in another 50 years, it will be different. LOL!
The Canadians can do metric! Why can’t the Americans?
It’s not that hard... your currency is decimal = metric
Think of a metre being a dollar!
100 cents to the dollar
A quarter is 25c = 25 cm or 250mm
Pretty easy and I’d argue so much more precise especially when we all work in millimetres.
1 m
@@zedlicious You are right it is easier in that manner, but if someone says this is 105 centemeters long, it is hard to visualize. But if someone says this is 8 feet, 35 inches, or 3 yards, without a tape measure, most Americans can tell you how long it is. I can visualize meters, but the rest isn't as easy.
Your new bed looks very comfortable. But OMG that thing was big. It's good that you could do some basic cutting at the wood supply place. Another big plus for the Bosch track-saw.
Finally, nice to see you again and good luck with a new challenge. 👍
Ciao from Sardinia Crstiana. Another great and clean project. Fantastic job! I'm starting to restyle a tiny room and your so your video is very helpful. Could you please tell me What's the thickness of the plywood? Muito obrigado!
Great work. I can't build a thing, but haha I admire all the details and hard work.
I saw this on This Old House Makers episode! Very nice to see it again :)
Great build and final product! I really like the tiny little pops of colour you put into this piece. I always look forward to your videos!
The colored plywood inlays look rad. Nice work.
I've been waiting to build my King Murphy bed until I can find a way to make a sofa for it. Can't wait to see how you do yours. Love how you manage to do things on your own. I'm a solitary builder too.
My son needed a murphy bed incorporating a couch into the design. My hubby suggested buying a couch from the thrift store to either use the whole couch modified to work with the bed or just for the cushions! Great idea I think. Thrift stores or yard sales might get you what you want!
Hola soy de chile sigo tus videos hace un tiempo, e visto tantos proyectos suyos que me motive y de apoco estoy haciendo un taller de trabajo te felicito y te admiro mucho eres muy buena
The sheer precision in your projects is motivating.🖤🖤
wow! you are amazing!!
Excelente trabajo, tienes una habilidad y una técnica sorprendente, me gustan mucho tus videos me motivan a seguir adelante con mis proyectos, Dios te bendiga y te colme de éxitos 👍🏽
Efen nice, I am jealous you have so many specialty tools. Nice attention to detail and such a well edited video!
What a cool design Cris!
Darbin Orvar Thanks Linn, nice to see you!
Loving this DIY video side of UA-cam I'll keep coming back here to pick up inspiration when I start renovating my place!😊
Hooray! A new 'Get Hands Dirty' vid!
This one was awesome. Keep up the great work :)
Hi Cristiana, you are unbelievable and unbeatable. I am a great fan of yours. Whatever you do with perfection, there is no comparison. Great job. Keep it up and we will be supporting you always. Thanks.
Dear Lord Jesus, that is amazing ! 👏👏👏👏
I am building my own hose right now and that gave me ideas ;)
And yes, Colunex is a very very respectable matress company here in Portugal. Good choice in the matress indeed.
( Funny thing: Colunex is a pun with " coluna" + ex . Coluna = back or back bone ;) )
Ahahah thanks! Actually the name comes from coluna do Alex, being Alexandrino the creator of the company 😜
When I do set design, so many directors want Murphy beds (to keep space at a premium onstage) and the hardware is so tricky for non-carpenters to use (like myself). It's a great effect, but it does make the movement so smooth. Wonderful job! I love the rainbow details on everything!
Feel tired and pain everyday... welcome to our world! x
@Jon Doe what is a rainbow people?
What happened to your hair?
Have a rest
wow !! all this by yourself , unbelievable and beutiful !!
Very good job - this is a difficult build to do by yourself. 👍
I am no carpenter but I can appreciate great builders and I must admit your work thoroughly impresses me! Please keep up the great work and continue inspiring others!
DUDE this is freaking GORGEOUS I want to make this someday
I love your technique for cutting foam, I was planning to make some cushions with high density foam and some fabric I have been meaning to finally use. Glad I saw this video. The sofa looks great and functional .
Wow, really cool! I like the rainbow accent :D!
This is fabulous. And I love the rainbow detail
It's my first time watching and you're amazing! This was quite informative and entertaining.
Восхитительно! Столько кропотливой работы, но такие создающие настроение "мелочи". Браво
This is so cool! I am interested in building it and would like to know about how much it costs before I decide that I will. Would you mind telling me how much it cost you to make this?
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WORK ! That mattress looks amazing too.
wow um youtuber português que faz videos fixes!
adorei :)
@The FKU lol eu sei foi sem crer
You really endeavored to persevere. Great job
I started to miss your videos and I'm now waiting a brand new :D ...also metric ftw!
thanks for the good work it is really helping so many carpenters.
Olá tudo bem, você parou de fazer seu a vídeos em português,? Você está de parabéns sou fã dos seus projetos acompanho todos poderia legendar pelo menos em português um grande abraço do Brasil
