THE TINY APARTMENT SERIES
The Tiny Apartment is the channel's biggest project so far. It was completely custom-built - from floor to ceiling lamps - turning this 31 sqm (333 sqft) single-room apartment into a highly efficient living space. Consisting of 23 episodes available on YouTube with over 14 million views combined, this series lasted for four years.
Building furniture in a small space can be a BIG challenge. You have to think efficiently and it’s always better to plan the whole space ahead.
Are you up for it? We can help!
There are detailed plans available on our SHOP for you to build your own furniture! The plans include a link to SketchUp 3D models, cutting diagrams, measurements, and other relevant guidelines.

MEET
CRIS
I'm Cristiana Felgueiras, an artist and maker from Porto, Portugal, and I love building things!
As a kid, I experimented a lot with cardstock, wood, clay, and plaster to create mini sculptures and gifts for my loved ones. Music slipped into my heart so dramatically as a teenager that I learned to play several instruments.
The urge for artistic expression led me to study Fine Arts at the University of Porto, where I started mixing several media in my projects and installations. But my true passion for woodworking only began in my last year of studies, when I searched how to make a wood joint online.
A new obsession took my life by storm.
One day, I found myself explaining out loud, alone in my studio, what I was building. An exciting idea popped into my mind… What if I started filming my builds?
And that's when I created the GET HANDS DIRTY YouTube channel in 2015 to share my experiences and inspire others to build with their own hands.
