Building a solid wood door (with clever features)

[@jochenmueller5898]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@CheesymonTony]

My absolute favorite part of this video is when you get a smile on your face after something comes together nicely. You’re just so pleased with yourself and how it turns out, and I totally know that feeling. It’s one of my favorites things. Well done on the door!

[@tripwire76]

I think that there's something deeply philosophical about that "LET GLUE DRY" steel block. In projects like this (and most other things in life) you can't get decent results if you try to rush or force things. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to happen and events to unfold and plan around the things you can not affect or change. That said I hereby petition to have "LET GLUE DRY" t-shirts and stickers in Laura's shop and I definitely need a miniature version of that block as a paperweight for my desk.

[@laurakampf]

Stickers are a cool idea! I will look into it!

[@janasapu1]

Just "let glue dry"...yes!

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

I am VERY on board with this idea! The "Let Glue Dry" block deserves more recognition!

[@svenhohne2697]

But definitely in your very typical lettering type, I love that style.

[@MrChoklad]

I was thinking the same thing! A Let Glue Dry white on black tshirt would look amazing

[@whazee]

This is extremely enjoyable, watching the gradual progression and build out. Watching you use all the skills, hacks and experience you've learned over the years is really inspiring. ...Plus, that roll-out shelving unit is wicked!

[@mattfowler9304]

Thanks for this video. I am a third generation residential carpenter and lifelong woodworker. Im getting ready to build a set of arched french doors for a new client and i learned a lot from this video.

[@frankierzucekjr]

I'm so glad I found your channel through Simone. As a carpenter myself, it's refreshing to see a women doing this kind of work. You're incredibly talented, and your craftsmanship is top notch. Definitely better then most men that I've hired through the years lol. You can see that you care, you feel the wood, you can tell you really enjoy it. There nothing quite like the feeling of satisfaction you get from making plans, building what you thought up, then standing back and looking at what YOU created and built. Hats off to you ma'am. After seeing your hands, and that they look a lot like mine, made me love your channel even more. Well done.

[@erictheviking672]

Lovely job. My daughter indignantly pointed out that "she needs a handle". I told her you will have this under control for sure! Thanks for sharing

[@pandapanda8354]

Erictheviking ! Looks like the man with the bandaged hand needs your daughter’s advice instead.

[@laurakampf]

She is very smart

[@kingofthegrill]

Would this door prevent gases from exiting a room? I'm looking to get rid of lice

[@noxvi4753]

Me too did you try this one yet? I found some on a german website they say they’re tried and tested might give them a try!

[@kingofthegrill]

@noxvi4753 Those claims seem far-fetched to me but who am I to question their narrative?

[@charlesmcmasters]

loved the build, as I always do. Loved the secret tips- hot melting the slab to a planed face, sawdust mixed with glue. Those kinds of little details, shared without a word, whereas other makers need to make a whole video just about them, jabbering away. Thanks again!

[@PartTimeMakers]

You are a badass! That was so fun to watch. I have been pondering building my own front door to my house. I promised my wife I would start with a new door on our house 6 years ago. What I didnt know was how many things needed attention first in our home and that both of us would go back to school to get our masters degrees at the same time. We will both be Nurse Practitioners soon! This has inspired me to do a little something to relax after almost 4 years of school. I'm gonna build it after I take my national board certification. But before I start my new career at age 45! Thank you for sharing your work! Keep it up!

[@l.n.4929]

I like the way you set up your shots, the good mix between detailed and wide shots.

[@laurakampf]

Thanks, i try my best to keep the videos interesting and easy to follow

[@FabioLeone94]

What a beautiful door. Especially that you built it in one piece and then cut it in half is amazing

[@thejohnhend]

Girl you got the coolest music. If there was a best picture Oscar for woodworking videos this would be it. Coolest video I’ve seen.

[@alsmith1025]

Great video. Love the beat of the music, awesome choice. My favorite part of your videos is that smile you make in the middle of a project when things are fitting together. We all do it. We all know that feeling. That's the best feeling during a project to have.

[@reneschaeffges7368]

Nice Projekt. Was gibt es schöneres als Sonntags Kaffee trinken und dabei Laura's neuste Arbeit zu bewundern.

[@wrefordjones4021]

It is obvious that you are doing the work you love, you seem so relaxed and at peace with the world around you!! Your attention to detail is so refreshing. Andy Jones Siemens South Africa pensioner. I have been to Germany on two occasions and I love your country. Muenchen city of my dreams, Franconia, Erlangen, Nurnburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen. I also visited Salzburg, not forgetting Prien am Chiemsee. Frankfurt alt stadt. Sehr sehr schoen!!!!

[@TheMrWoodsman]

7:26 That smile of satisfaction is lovely, you are so very talented.

[@martywilsonlife]

I love that along with the way she runs her finger or thumb over the piece she's just been working on. 'Definitely into it.

[@elguapo1507]

If you can't see the beauty in this then you have no soul! Gorgeous!

[@zahrafayyaz9539]

The trick you used to cut the curved part of the door with a small piece of wood was really nice. I am looking forward to seeing the camper progress every week.

[@jaldeborgh]

Remarkable young lady, a real artisan. A joy to watch such skill.

[@divyajnana]

Very cleaver build, long and straight build cut in half...Luv'it. The hot melt glue to plywood milling is genus!! And a usual, beautiful job on the video.

[@joy.51]

I love how you built in a little low window for your dog!

[@JoelWetzel]

I enjoy watching people get things done, especially when they make it look easy. You do that.

[@jimc4766]

You are quite a craftsman! Great to see someone who takes pride in their work.

[@reforzar]

Love the Dutch door action. Hope Smudo appreciates all the hard work that went into his window.

[@laurakampf]

I think he will once the other side is closed :)

[@adamduerr1203]

So happy to see it was for the camper. My 3 year old daughter said "That was a good movie".

[@laurakampf]

❤️❤️❤️

[@leestimson12]

Woodworker, metal fab, and on and on. A Jack oops, Jill of all trades. Such a joy to watch.

[@woodysallen]

andere sitzen beim Fussballspiel im Trikot vorm Fernsehn , und ich hab Lauras Tshirt an und schau Laura. So ist das richtig , so ist das fein , so muss das sein. Drei Daumen hoch für Laura , damit sie immer so weiter machen kann. 👍👍👍

[@laurakampf]

❤️

[@rkaid7]

Great result. Ballsie corner drill and chisel! Love your hand close ups, not in a weird way.

[@LuisEzcurdia]

You are an inspiration, I love your work. Please make a beginner series for those who want to enter the realm of makers but have close to zero their experience working with wood, metal and other materials and tools

[@dcoferraz]

the 5:08 smile when everything went together is priceless!! Great work on this door

[@haze8223]

I love the way you edit your videos.. the music,angles etc.... great on a Sunday morning...

[@MirtoTondini]

Excellent, EXCELLENT work either for how it came and for the really sharp solutions you adopted, not to mention the evident satisfaction from your smile at every passage.

[@johnathanfuller1423]

I've seen all sorts of tricks for jointing a board face with a planer, but that hot glue trick is definitely the most efficient and simple.

[@simonr6793]

A perfect addition to the tiny home/ tourer. Looking good!!!

[@gilbertoassisdeoliveira]

It was excellent !! 👍😎Great memories. I was watching the video and remembering my father ... He was an excellent joiner and carpenter. Not only him, but all my uncles, cousins, brothers and me. We are a large family of carpenters, joiners and sawmills. Good Sunday Laura 🌼🌸

[@dayzey40]

That is so cool!!! Even a window for Smudo.

[@marcinsykut497]

Looks like oak doors . Beautiful .Now time for inside work. Thank you Laura !

[@Janggut40]

You make it look easy ! Neat and clean too.

[@matthewb8229]

Nice! A Dutch door (that what I've always known them as) for the camper is a great idea. Additionally, I really dig the sign on the wall that says, "Every defect gets repsect". Being I have numerous "defects" I can identify with that sentiment. At least, I'm 93% sure that's what it says.

[@pakarof]

Auf deutsch auch Klöntür genannt.

[@undLiebeZitrone]

the smile on your face every time something works or the pieces fit together 🙂🙂🙂

[@chrinamint]

WOW! You are amazing! I surprisingly fell upon this video...and I didn't want it to ever end!

[@SeanLeach]

So much joy in this video. Thank you Laura!

[@BaconDanish]

The Love of Woodworking by Laura Applause 👏 Nicely made perfection. I would shake your hand any time. 🤝

[@shanestachurski9667]

Awesome Laura.You are in total control of ur craft.

[@felizdiaamigosdelanaturale7586]

Qué bueno con Laura estoy aprendiendo a construir mi camper y también inglés Happy to meet you Laura

[@Handz001]

I learn so much from watching your videos. Enjoy every one I watch. Thanks for making and sharing them.

[@remoc52357]

Most impressive build!! Even Smudo has a window to the world!

[@ConiferProject]

Nice carpentry :) and quite enjoyable to watch, greets from Stuttgart 💚

[@haukescheffler6350]

Sehr sehr schönes projekt. Den trick mit der spenglerschraube finde ich sehr gut. Einfach und mega effektiv.

[@richardnwilson]

Great video thank you! That's a clever way to flatten out a board if you don't have a large jointer!

[@barthanes1]

I like Smudo's window, nice touch.

[@kirkcrawford8862]

Great choice of music and great videography.

[@bobd5119]

I learn something every day. Today it's Laura's plywood reference for planing. Ingenious.

[@witerabid]

That looks absolutely amazing! But your constant smile about it coming together is even better to watch. You just made my day.

[@asim.farooq]

beautifully done by a beautiful lady, thanks for sharing

[@negotiableaffections]

A very, very accomplished build. You look very proud, Laura and so you should!

[@moyashisoba]

Loved the look out for Smudo the second I saw it's a clear window on the bottom part :D

[@glennsmith2762]

Beautifully built door, looks fantastic. The only thing I didn't like about the video.....there was no voice over!!! I really like, and appreciate, hearing how passionate and how much you enjoy your projects. There is always an element of happiness and excitement in your voice and missed that in this video.

[@markbryan9989]

Yeah, ok! Now you are showing off!! ha ha! Really nice video and great job on the door. Thanks Laura!

[@edwardmilsom4760]

Like the polly blocks, great idea.

[@MarkOhanesian]

Incredible level of craftsmanship!

[@Darkangle2106]

Hallo Laura, es macht richtig Spaß Dir zu zusehen. Diese Zufriedenheit und das glückliche Lächeln, einfach toll. Übrigens, klasse Tür.

[@michelevitarelli]

Great project and video. Music is on point. Looking forward to seeing the trailer progress.

[@bretgregston9097]

Super nice! And my favorite video of the day. I learned a few things and the video just made me happy.

[@Benji101]

So satisfying when it all fits together! ☺️💪

[@haze8223]

Looking forward to the next in the series Laura!! Can’t wait to see how the layout inside is managed..Should be coming soon

[@brananddandi]

I am impressed. Well done young lady!! I hope to one day hold a candle to your abilities! Here, I thought it was some 2000$ door and its for a horse trailer?! Lol, So awesome!

[@carstenwolz]

This kind of door is called "Klönschnack-Tür" in northern Germany. Was build for old houses....so called "Friesenhaus". Greetings from a small village near Flensburg / Germany

[@DavePlaysGaming]

I came for the joinery, and stayed for the language lesson. I'll probably end up forgetting this, but thank you for the additional vocabulary :)

[@ccreutzig]

Or shorter a Klöntür a little further south. At least around here, the traditional way of building those seems to have mostly been a tilted cut rather than the additional strip of wood - obviously, either works just fine.

[@MM-cr7dq]

Called a stable door in other places. Perfect to let in air but keep in the dog!

[@rvallenduuk]

Boerendeur in the Netherlands; 'farm door'.

[@Malikav0311]

Is one of the features that it can be completely air tight?

[@calm1tbh]

It's kind of funny how her name is Laura KAMPF.

[@SamVekemans]

Thanks for sharing your amazing talents!

[@dougidoug]

That’s a pretty solid looking door. I like the way the arch on the door matches in with the arch of the roof.

[@jesusHernandez-in7lu]

Excellent work Laura, congrats.

[@erikcreates]

It's been awesome seeing that many small woodworking tricks in the video

[@bobbonham4823]

Well done! I really love the Smudo window! Thanks.

[@morganpavelka4945]

Your videos always inspire me to continue making things and being creative! So excited to see how the camper turns out!

[@rontocknell3592]

Some very good tips there. Thank you. Lovely job!

[@heyimamaker]

Love the bottom window for Smudo!

[@richandrew1424]

That polystyrene jig saw trick though.... 🤯

[@akumabito2008]

Right??? I never would've thought of that. I would've fumbled with the oiece, precariously balancing between messing up my work and losing a finger. This solution seems so onvious, I feel kinda dumb, haha.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

I know! I saw it in her stories and... well, my life changed that day!

[@Syberz]

You can do a similar technique with insulating foam and a circular saw: put the foam on the ground, your large sheet of ply on top and then make your blade barely deeper than the wood you're sawing.

[@samponette3306]

Please don’t. Bad for your health and for the enviroment.

[@TheTioram]

Where’s that?

[@dpshockley57]

First class craftsmanship!

[@yoanngrange]

You look so happy you deserve a thumb up just for that.

[@janasapu1]

What a "meisterstück"!!! Laura! I don't get those thumbs down...I'm in love with your work❤️😉😍👍❤️🙏🤩

[@mariajoseelyseu7968]

Beautiful door. How do I like to see the way you work. Smudo hate trailers. Even bigger ones 😂 Stay safe

[@ivartillotson835]

10:53 Smudo looking out of the glass! How cool!

[@BottleBass1977]

Yes, he looked so happy. I wonder if Laura will make a scaled-down version of the door for Smudo?

[@durrwooddude]

I love the window for your dog!

[@z4zuse]

The split door became a thing after the “Duty on Lights and Windows” late 17th century, as it was classified as door, but could act as a window.

[@tomas5376]

Great Dutch door! Nice craftswomanship!👍✌️😊🙏🏼⚒

[@Charlielizard]

That was perfect. Your craftsmanship is out of this world. I watched this twice and love the way you created a door fitting with the theme of your trailer. Thank you for sharing your video and have a fantastic week! 👍

[@karenmitchell6814]

That was thoughtful. A window for your 🐕

[@Mark-fw9jh]

Handwerklich Super gemacht...und echt shön anzusehen wieviel Spaß DU daran hast

[@lowguidoschopshop]

I love it when you let the glue dry.

[@hondaryder3779]

Aah a dutch barn door, best feature: the schmuck smiley of a job well done .😃🇳🇱

[@davidsykes7644]

Beautiful door beautiful film! Loving this series. 👍👍

[@orlandogrisales6307]

Un arte muy lindo. Exelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia. Eres muy inteligente.

[@Ricardo-vv8sy]

Nice idea! A window - door 👏🏻👏🏻

[@m3eu]

Fantastic skills Laura! Looking forward to the finished trailer. Stay safe and keep busy!

[@mrJanniekoen]

Cool. I like how you used a wooden strip to find the curve in the cross rail and then glued it down to use the router. I want to try that some time. Thanks Laura

[@chrisgraham2904]

Beautiful build! Love the Dutch doors. I built a Dutch door for our nursery room before our first child was born. The idea was to provide ventilation and be able to hear the baby while keeping our two year old Doberman Pinscher out of the room (just in case). Two days after the baby came home, the dog was missing. Found that our Dobie had leaped over the lower section of the door and was curled up beside the crib protecting the baby. Our son and the dog were bonded for the next eleven years.

[@FigmentsMade]

It is such a beautiful thing when all the pieces fit together and make such a lovely door!

[@carpicabeckers6029]

You gave me a great idea to make curved shape without a router table! Thank you miss :*
