From an apt. dweller, no access to large equipment, but smaller ideas?
I don’t have access to power tools, but would love to see smaller projects with hand tools. Any chance?

There are already many projects that fit your description on the site. Have you scrolled through some of the sections?
I don't have any specific projects, but have worked in confined spaces, without power tools, often. It requires a bit more planning and patience. Be sure to protect other areas from dust or paint. Be prepared to have a 'mess' in view till things are completed. Hand sanding is recommended, as well as hand painting with a brush vs. spray paint. Most techniques can be adapted to your situation. Good luck.
I have constructed many items using just hand tools (from bookshelves to animal cages to desks) Granted it does take longer in many cases, but it can be done. I would recommend that any wood you cut be done over a sweepable floor rather than on a carpeted area and no hammering after 9PM.
