Laura´s Industrial Lamps

[@RickRose]

Having gone pretty far down the rabbit hole of hobby metal-working and purchased a lathe and mill, I always want to dope-slap myself when I see a real artist get it done with simple tools I had already owned from way back but never thought to put to such use. Nice work.

[@gogeeks09]

The brass was such a nice touch, I love her aesthetic

[@TheHandystanley]

Not only did I love the build Laura - but your UP BEAT music as well! Just do NOT UNDERSTAND how anyone would give you a thumbs down on this. Keep up the great work.

[@bruceburkhart1650]

Hey Laura, I'm needing some additional lighting in my shop. I know this video is 4+ years old but thanks for providing the inspiration with these lamps! I currently do not weld so I have to modify to my abilities and available resources. Keep up the great work and inspiration. Your work is a gift. Prost!!

[@eln74]

Wow.... 😱 How cool is the entire video, man oh man, now I have that musical loop everywhere I go, or when doing stuff, tnx dear Laura for sharing the magic!!! :D

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Lovely steam punk look with gun blueing patina, & once it's in place it looks like it has always been there: Useful, practical & harmonious. I have used the washer trick for rounding corners, but always by hand file, never occurred to me that a belt sander would as good & much faster: Inspiration & education, thank you!

[@Approx_99]

Wow! I love the minimalist use of tools! Most of the makers on KZbin would have used about $5000 more equipment, but you produced a working scissor linkage with a grinder and a drill press! That takes some skill!

[@paulinocosta2849]

Wow ... Fascinating ... what a beautiful industrial look you put in this piece ... I'm amazed by your incredible videos and projects ... congratulations, you're the best!

[@Pawelism]

What a fantastic build! You are one of the most creative and stylish makers on KZbin.

[@laurakampf]

wow, thanks, man!

[@RagingMonkee]

Laura, I am in love with your camera work and how you film with your work as the main subject!

[@ConstantThrowing]

The best furnitue and lighting I find on my travels is always made in this way by some person like 70+ years ago. Incredibly happy to see this reemerging!

[@basuramanya]

Just watched this on the big screen tv with my little kids. You had them mesmerized.

[@laurakampf]

sweet! :)

[@bdot7]

I have to say since finding this channel 2 days ago I jumped to making things after a nearly decade long drought of ideas thanks for the inspiration! your craftsmanship is fantastic!

[@laurakampf]

oh wow, that is great to hear!!! enjoy!

[@365hillclimb]

I LOVE the idea of using an angle grinder in place of a belt sander. Brilliant!

[@billybobwombat2231]

You have a beautiful eye for style ..design and detail...a polymath in progress..well done.

[@gegeloo]

Laura has gold hands, continues to amaze us ;-)

[@Uberworkshop]

Those lamps are awesome! I'm sure they'll come in handy! So happy the Lincoln Electric gear is already getting a workout. Love the Rosie the Riveter patterned welding helmet too! Nice one, Laura!

[@laurakampf]

the helmet and the welder are fantastic! thanks

[@TheWoodWerker]

Yup! Yup! Sweet Build Big L!!! That's just plain FUNKY FRESH right there! Much Love! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@ShicZero]

Just watched this again with my 4 year old daughter, she was quite concerned about your thumb and adores your welding mask.

[@kvsteve]

You are the DiResta of Germany with out the amazingly overdone product placement. Great design.

[@TEKRific]

Cool lamps! What a treat with new content from you. I always get inspired and creative watching you work! Thanks so much Laura!

[@Jandavis57]

Xcellent repurposing, Laura! Beautiful project. 🌈

[@bayonasdesign]

Awesome as always Laura! It's nice to have you back!

[@justinsomething6086]

stuff like this blows my mind. i like this type of creativity

[@vangoghskye]

I like the method you used to round the corners perfectly.

[@Flixterino]

Love the cable management. Also the fabric coated flex looks great, after seeing you use it here and Simone use it on her Spool I just want to use it to replace all the cables in my flat.

[@laurakampf]

those cables just add such a quality to any lamps! very much worth the extra dollar

[@DCPorter71]

I can't believe you don't have more subscribers Laura. Love your channel.

[@laurakampf]

working on it :)

[@ZHFabrications]

Aha! I finally found where all the traffic to one of my older builds (industrial chain lamp) was coming from. Great work Laura, and thank you for the traffic!

[@loudoret353]

beautiful work that comes from a heart of gold.

[@mikegregory8536]

Hi Laura, loved the build this week, and my wife loved the music choice as she was dancing away! Everyone's happy...lol

[@laurakampf]

haha, that´s awesome!

[@dcmccart25]

Nice idea, Laura. I have in my workshop a bell which I made out of a small disposable propane bottle of the type used in the USA. I cut the bottom off at just the right place (lucky) and it rings very loud and "true". I hang it from a piece of wire through the valve top, which I drilled a hole in. Nice work.

[@bradnaylorG]

Very nicely done Laura, love the design would love to see more designs like this

[@stevecoster322]

Hiya, way beyond cool, 1st. rate concept, execution, filming, editing and music! I love the way your mind works, anyone could see the safety covers but you could see the lazy tongue lights. But it's not just seeing it's having the necessary skill set to achieve your goal and then doing so. Keep on trucking Dear Lady, keep showing us the way...Steve

[@laurakampf]

thanks, steve!

[@bradymcphail9690]

such a clever idea, I wish I had the ability to come up with such cool ideas. I'm able to think on my feet as a welder/fabricator at work to build structural things and such, but artistically not so much. I'm very glad I can get inspiration from you and the other great makers on KZbin. btw- can't understand anybody considering a👎

[@UltimateMaking]

i love the style of this lamp

[@Ana-ks3je]

I was so excited when I saw a new video from Laura this morning! Really creative build and awesome filming/music as always. Thanks, Laura!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@secondwind75]

Hey Laura. Missed you for a while there. Good to see you back. And its another cool project. Glad you got to break in that new Lincoln equipment. Turned out great. The purple was the added flair for me. And as always, the production was classic. Great sounds as well. Great job, sweet lady. Troy

[@laurakampf]

haha, i only missed one upload :) but i seemed longer, right?

[@secondwind75]

Yeah I was having withdrawals! Don't do that again, ok? ;-)

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Well done, even my 14 year old son said it was clever! Missed you last week but I understand and I'm happy for you.

[@laurakampf]

i am glad your son approved my work :)

[@defour6475]

i remember making this at school back in the day but with cardboard and a small bulb. This is amazing might redo it in steel as well

[@FredMcIntyre]

Beautifully designed and made Laura!

[@azashukri5322]

Awesome build! And yet another washer useful tip. Thank you Laura.

[@FinnCrafted]

To me, this kind of build really is the core of your channel: great edit, innovative and useful designs!

[@laurakampf]

thank you!

[@johnsradios484]

That's really cool , takes pieces of metal and making something functional. It also looks cool , great job .you should sell them .

[@oxyehho]

That moment when You grind edges by a washer is genius!!! Thank You so much!+))

[@KayleyJG]

Awwwweeeessssoooommmmeee project with killer editing and filming, well freaking done. I love your videos, projects, outlook on life, and the inspiration you are to all makers. THANK YOU

[@laurakampf]

thanks, kayley! happy you enjoy my work!

[@makrylemis]

The new welding equipment works wonders! Great vid!

[@laurakampf]

+makrylemis oh yeah... it is super nice to work with

[@makrylemis]

Loving the lamps btw, they look fab!

[@nomad0griffin]

industrial elegance as usual projects and content keep getting better thank you

[@laurakampf]

thanks!!

[@woodstoney]

Love it! Another "Bright" idea! Good job!

[@ozzy1280]

Looks beautiful Laura !! I think a hinge at the wall joint could add even more functionality.

[@jeffersonaugusto4310]

Uma super produção Hollywoodiana!!! Very, very nice!!

[@PaskMakes]

Love it! I think this is my favourite project of yours. Very inspiring!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!!

[@doctor41baller]

super badass Laura. in search of a sweet industrial floor lamp for the office so this really had my attention 👊🛠

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

Love the music and the craft. Keep up the excellent work

[@craftedworkshop]

So cool! Love the final piece, looks amazing. Where did you get the bulb socket and cord? Love the cloth cord.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Great design! Must have taken forever to cut, grind, and sand all of those round edges.

[@laurakampf]

probably around 2 hours...not too bad

[@bornlevi]

love it! electrical cord thru the hinges was a nice touch

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@NickFerry]

Cool idea - well done Laura!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, nick!

[@minimalistinlife]

So well built and well thought out design.

[@zeta-t4r]

it is very educational to see such a talented person at work. grazie, davvero

[@John_7591]

Yeahhhh... Great !!! It's a very good idea ... il like it 😍 Fast and simple of realization ... All I like❗ Congretulation Laura 👏 ... Have a good day ❗😜😜

[@achappel]

They turned out amazing! Really great work Laura!

[@advandervelden1588]

You are incredibly inventive, hats off.

[@laurakampf]

thanks :)

[@residentmaker]

These are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of your work with us, it's inspiring to me as a maker of things and a maker of videos.

[@TheBookDoctor]

You always have the best music in your videos.

[@Bassmondo]

Fantastic Laura! Wow! Beautiful job!

[@MakerInTraining]

Love it!!! I like the electric cord used as well. A little splash of color!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, man!

[@ArthurCheesebag84]

You always have the best ideas and music.

[@GratefulMeds]

you know I started watching you because of your great taste in Music. but i also really love the projects!! Thanks for the videos

[@gregorythomas333]

Such an awesome design & execution! You are the best!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, man!

[@nixie2462]

Lovely concept! I like it. Washers in between the arms would prevent scrapping of the black finish on the insides, and auto locking nuts (or clamping them) will provide many more actuations before something gets loose. Also, putting tape around before grinding, protects from unwanted marks. (unless the "quick bad finish" (read in a constructive way) was intended)

[@nateauld]

Good job on the build and the interesting shots, nice welds too.

[@jimgam730]

Love it Laura. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@andrewgregor3692]

So great to see someone that's super creative, cool and inventive and can create a vid that is also entertaining, you will be inspiring so many people to try something new on so many different levels well done! You seem to be working in a cold workshop? Maybe you can come up with a creative way to build a shop heater for yourself? I hope you can keep making these vids they always add something to my day thank you for that!

[@northatlantic2723]

Came here from This Old Tony's channel. Nice video! Nice lamp too! Goes to show that those of us who don't have a fully equipped machine shop can still do neat stuff. You're scaring me with that grinder though!

[@Match2100]

Another great video! I love the way you put it together! Just a suggestion for when you have to do the same operation to a lot of individual parts (drilling, shaping), stack them and tack them together. While each hole will take longer to drill, it'll cut down your overall time at the drill press and all the holes will be in exactly the same spot (as long as all the parts were lined up when tacked together!) if you tacked at the ends you could start rounding the corners off and then as you get to the final shape, grind off the tacks. That way you wont have burn marks in the middle of your part.

[@rigfix]

Thanks Laura. Nice job! I did not know about that trick with the washer during grinding. So I learned something new today :)

[@laurakampf]

awesome!

[@diler1969]

Incredibly organized, thanks for the wonderful video!

[@kjellski]

I come to see your sunday video and of course it's one of a kind again. But no, it's not all, you put in a christmas gift for me :) You found a blackener! :) Thanks Laura, you're the best!

[@laurakampf]

unfortunatelly i bought it in new york...still no source of blackener in germany to my knowledge. but yesterday a friend told me i could also use "stahlbeize" never heard of that...

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Very beautiful project Laura...hhmm now i want make some of those too! Good inspiration

[@laurakampf]

yes, go for it :)

[@andrewtechful]

Beautiful creation. I love your attention to detail with all your builds. Keep up the good work

[@laurakampf]

thanks, andrew

[@FrontierlessCraftsman]

Very nice, the purple cord looks great! And all done with only 1/2 hands well done :)

[@Karlheinz2802]

Wahnsinn! Sehr cooles Design und seeehr robust. :) Und ich hab wieder mal einen tollen Trick von Dir gelernt, wie ich Dank der Unterlegscheiben die Kanten in Zukunft gleichmäßiger abrunden kann. Vielen Dank für Deine tollen und immer genial in Szene gesetzten Videos!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@diggerdeb]

Great project. Loved the lamps. Awesome music.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, deb!

[@PeterHolschbach]

Coole Idee, klasse umgesetzt. Als ich zu Beginn des Videos die Lampe gesehen habe, habe ich "Na ja" gedacht. Man muß einfach gesehen haben woraus der Lampenschirm besteht, hinterher kommt man da nicht mehr drauf. Mal wieder ist ein Pflaster im Film und ich befürchte die Lampe ist auch nicht geerdet. Da die Kabel durch viel Metall gezogen werden, wäre eine Erdung nicht schlecht, wir wollen schließlich noch viele Projekte sehen.

[@laurakampf]

+Peter Holschbach natürlich ist die lampe geerdet! wenn man 7 tage die woche in der werkstatt steht kann man sich schonmal verletzen...das ist eben so wenn man so viel mit den händen arbeitet

[@PeterHolschbach]

Laura ohne Pflaster, da würde ja auch was fehlen :-).

[@TheMuzShop]

Keep em coming , very creative Laura. You help me to stay motivated , I'm working on my 4th video . You Rock!!

[@laurakampf]

AWESOME! good for you man! keep going!

[@TunMaker]

love the project and it can also be an overhead camera holder very cool well done

[@timwhite9255]

Wow i really like that, great job. You must have fiddled around along time to get the tension right on the bolts.

[@laurakampf]

i was lucky and had it right the first time...:)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Amazing! I tried to do the same with Ikeas extending mirror, but it was to flimsy.

[@laurakampf]

maybe is you replace the bolts with stronger screws?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Laura Kampf The whole structure twisted. Its a thing that scisors like to do.

[@ChicoMillion]

Super cool project, and your metal fabrication is awesome!

[@stuckinbabylon186]

Another freekin awesome idea Laura!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! I almost forgot one of my favorite parts of the vid, the music! It was rad!

[@BeckyStern]

Awesome! Love the creative reuse of the gas nozzle covers, and the washer tip for rounding the ends of the steel stock. I can't get enough of that fabric covered insulated cord, use it for everything (so far two pendant lamps and two desk lamps). Can't wait to see what else you make!

[@laurakampf]

oh yeah, these cords add a lot of quality to every project! don´t use anything else anymore either :)

[@AdricM]

I love this, and this scizor design is actually really handy for making a marking gage that spaces marks evenly over a wide number of distances. Its not youtube unless someone gives their own bright idea, but for the wall mount, id suggest instead of welded tabs welding or bolting it to a sturdy hinge so you have a nice left/right control too to put hour light where you need it or let it swing closer to the wall

[@pagefour6498]

I'm impressed by your ideas and workmanship (or workwomanship haha)

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Super cool! I like the idea of using gas bottle caps as a reflector :)

[@timguba8887]

Really nice, Laura. The brass hardware was a nice touch. Keep on making! Also, great choice with the music.

[@bruceabe3139]

Sweet build! i have a box full of rusty gas caps. thanks for the inspiration! Du bist der beste!

[@robertevans6481]

One of your coolest project's I have seen ...you rock

[@laurakampf]

+Robert Evans thank you! it was a lot of fun!

[@patrickjaroch5084]

I love it, the only thing i might do is pin the base so it swivels 180 degrees left to right. I have a shaving mirror that has that kind of base and its awesome

[@lateworm]

simple and functional. i bet if people tried they can make something similar without welds

[@johnconklin9039]

Awesome lamps, I really like the wiring that looks good left exposed.
