Hope you enjoyed this video!

[@samaker4]

Laura, you do realize you'll have to post a bad video every once and a while, just so we know you are human. This is awesome.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Maybe a collection of outtakes would be a nice idea.

[@laurakampf]

hahaha, thanks hugo!

[@craftedworkshop]

So cool. I need to figure out how to automate the opening and closing of a door this size for my cat.

[@laurakampf]

nice! great project!

[@CarlJacobson]

Beautiful work! Loved the video editing too.

[@CarlJacobson]

If you were on the other side......lol

[@NicholasGomez]

Beautiful Laura!! Just beautiful!! This little door makes me see magic behind it. RATHER - the magic you created behind the build. Great stuff!!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, nicholas! it´s nice to hear how much you appreciate my work!

[@TerryPullen]

You have taken KZbin video production to a higher level. No one else comes close. Thumbs up and subbed. All hail Queen Laura! The King of KZbin!

[@laurakampf]

wow, terry, thanks dude! i appreciate your support!

[@reforzar]

Absolutely beautiful! Great work Laura. Love the book matched panel.

[@laurakampf]

sweet! thanks for noticing! there were a lot of "first times" in this build but the book matching was the most fun!

[@allingcardetailing]

reviewed whole channel in one day, and truely inspiring. This tiny door project is I think for you symbolic meaning of " you never know what or who is behind that doors! Best regards from Croatia, EU, keep your imagination up!

[@chrisskinner7859]

You have very quickly became one of my favourite channels !!! No idea how you find time to think up ideas, plan them , build them , film it all , edit it , post it , read comments, answer comments, put drills through your thumb ;-) . . assume you still have to eat, sleep, shit and shower . . . DO YOU HAVE A CLONE ?

[@laurakampf]

haha, thanks max! it´s great when people realize how much work it really is to make a video (or 2) every week. i try to have one day per week where i take at least half the day off to do something non work-related. but the rest of the week is pretty much non-stop working. but since this is my business and exactly what i want to do...i absolutly love it :)

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Laura I think I didn't blink during the whole video :D awesome work and editing. Beautiful build!

[@laurakampf]

:) that might be the coolest compliment i heard so far! thanks man!

[@StripeyType]

I'm so pleased that I've subscribed and started watching your older videos. I always learn new tricks! Like that jointer/router. I don't think I've ever seen a unit that converts back and forth between the two like that. Magnificent! It must save so much space in the shop!

[@bradwilson6601]

Thanks for the videos. Excellent music as well.

[@gerrym4377]

You are such a stand out, your talent is fabulous and in my house we never tire of watching your videos! Thank you x

[@laurakampf]

thanks, gerry! i am happy you like what i do!

[@mariemeyer2885]

Brilliant! Amazing camera shots. There is something hypnotically about your videos, love it ;-)

[@AprilWilkerson]

I'm loving the shirt! ; ) Very awesome project Laura. I know you made it for a display but this is a good project to get familiar with the process on how to build a door in general. I have making a door on my to-do list so I'll make a small one first to practice I think.

[@laurakampf]

that´s a good idea i think...also i find it´s a lot harder to be precise with these smaller builds...if you can get the joints tight on a small object...the bigger version will be a walk in the park :) can´t wait for that video! and i LOVE the shirt :) thanks, again!

[@billdiehl156]

Awesome project!! Looks like something fun to do while considering what I want to build next.

[@cheif10thumbs]

Very nice work Laura. That was fun to watch. Thank you!

[@laurakampf]

cheers

[@carlitosperesini]

I told you I wouldn't miss it!!! Great little big project!!!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@57hound]

Beautifully filmed, informative, entertaining, inspiring. It is always a treat to see one of your videos!

[@laurakampf]

thanks! glad you enjoy my work!

[@zerbinok]

Hello. I am a restorer and dresser in Italy in Milan. Very beautiful your work. I love them. Paul.:)

[@kraftybeard4272]

Excellent job! All your cuts and joints are so beautifully crisp and clean. Love it!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@woodworks3585]

Very Nice work Laura. You did a nice job. Great joint work Thank you for sharing..

[@laurakampf]

cheers

[@kramhoogness]

Great video! Beautiful door! The close up shots of your black and blue thumb, all I could think was, "OOOOO OUCH!"

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@SpeedysWoodshop]

I love how you embrace the process!

[@laurakampf]

i love the process! :)

[@Bassmondo]

Beautiful Laura! I love your lighting and all the close shots. So cool! You're the bomb!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@husseinmostaf]

Beautiful work and great job. Keep up

As I'm starting to realize, your work, whatever it is is awesome...

[@laurakampf]

[@inakigarciadevicuna4423]

[@alimusayev2814]

Excellent work . love the attention to detail.

[@MattDiresta]

very cool build! that door will last longer than us!! showed off some great skill in this one!

[@laurakampf]

haha, you might be right...future spaceman will think we were crazy small because of that door :)

[@stevecollins9450]

Great video and the door turned out fantastic, Laura.

[@laurakampf]

cheers, steve!

[@JMTosses]

You still find ways to improve your camera work and editing. This is just amazing. And this is also the first time I saw your new jointer/planer - maybe I missed it before - it looks like a great machine compared to the one you used before. Thank you for sharing - great work like always.

[@laurakampf]

yes! it is a beast. unfortunately not mine. a friend is looking for a new shop and i can use it until he found one. but if he ever takes it away i will buy the exact same maschine!

[@alifyaengineer740]

You have really upped your photography game!!loved it

[@WoodworkingBarcelona]

Amazing result. Love the finish on that walnut Laura!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, briwax is super easy to work with and never fails on the result :)

[@WoodworkingBarcelona]

+Laura Kampf Sadly nobody sells it here as far as I've searched. Thanks for the info Laura!

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

It's nice to see that lovely wood treated with great respect.

[@laurakampf]

+John Creasey :)

[@Retroweld]

Beautiful. That turned out great!

[@laurakampf]

thanks you douglas!

[@tom5256]

I was sitting waiting for the video to come out :) gave me an idea of how I want my kitchen cabinet doors that I will be someday when I get done doing everything else around my house.

[@laurakampf]

always soooo much to be done, i know that feeling :)

[@thetalkingfly]

so solid! the detail is great. the shop looks so good!

[@laurakampf]

thanks! my shop is my favorite place on earth

[@clstoeger]

Beautiful video, Laura!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Mesmerizing. Edifying. Gratifying. Thanks for sharing...

[@laurakampf]

cheers, man

[@CraftyLittleMaker]

Aaahhh!!! I'm SO JEALOUS of all your skills!! :)

[@laurakampf]

cool thing about making stuff is that you get better EVERYTIME you touch a tool...so rewarding!

[@garythompson6986]

Between the wonderful film shots, the editing...and that cool thumb injury, this video comes across as one of your better works. Door is impressive as is the audio. Liked the shirt! Well done. Well Done!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks gary!

[@EdwardIglesias]

Very nice. Love the wood you chose.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, walnut is my favorite!

[@FranksDIY]

Amazing Laura . I'm a fan

[@9Biloela99]

Another masterpiece, thanks for sharing

[@laurakampf]

thank you!

[@secondwind75]

Awesome project Laura. First door? Coulda fooled me. ;-). Your technique is excellent. You picked beautiful grain to use. Very well done. Troy

[@laurakampf]

thanks troy! i love the bookmatched grain in the door inserts :)

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

Great project. I really enjoyed the filming and editing aspect. Super cool

[@laurakampf]

thanks, wayne!

[@Match2100]

It might be tiny, but it's full of class! I can't decide which is better, the way you put the door together or the way you put the video together!

[@laurakampf]

thanks for the great compliment!

[@WhoNoes]

That's so awesome. Thanks for this video

[@laurakampf]

you are very welcome!

[@maggiejochild8491]

Living as I do in the very heart of Texas (Austin) I love seeing you in that teeshirt. Yay, April! I understand why you’re not making stickers anymore, but I have to say, every time I watch Matt Cremona’s weekly updates, your sticker on the wall behind him seems to leap out at me. Great design is its own reward. Hope the thumb heals. My girlfriend is not the least bit jealous about how I moon over your videos. It’s all about the artistry.

[@laurakampf]

i do make stickers, but i can´t send them out for free no more. my online shop will be up soon, then they will be available:) thanks for watching! haha!

[@fredericfuchs5628]

Amazing video - this is so nice and relaxing to watch. Well done !!!

[@laurakampf]

sweet-thanks!

[@firehousewoodworks3684]

I really like your jointer plainer, such a awesome machine! Great video! I build custom wood doors for a living, so its cool to see it on a small scale, well done!

[@laurakampf]

oh cool! great to get feedback from a pro! thanks. that jointer is a dream to work with!

[@oshavlfarms7239]

Amazing work and videography/editing. I especially loved how you left the dried blood on your hands..."A project isn't done until you've bled"

[@laurakampf]

+Vizerei yeah those pull saws get ya quick!

[@DiabloMP5]

Wonderful job with wonderful wood ;D

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Really good video editing and the project turned out great!

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

The tiny door came out great Laura!!

[@laurakampf]

cheers!

[@matthewmarting3623]

I've recently found your channel and my mild tool jealousy has just turned into full blown shop envy. You've got better taste in tools than anyone I've seen.

[@laurakampf]

so cool, that is one of the best compliments ever! i am very specific about my tools and i love working with quality stuff! thanks

[@havenisse2009]

Oh you have some serious awesome tools in that shop. Nice work and great editing as always. You are so talented.

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@FrederikBe]

Pretty cool, nice build!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@simplediyr]

[@Jorsfel]

[@mohaje11]

[@jpwoodwork]

beautiful work Laura, very impressive, great job :)

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@philipedocarmo]

Hi Laura for first time building a door you are the best . Love how it come out , don't know if you did it on purpose , but if you didn't .off course depends on material availability the grain on door panels should run like the tree grows , that is a rule of thumb . Not a criticism more a tip , like always love the video ! Your Brazilian American Fan .

[@laurakampf]

ah okay, i didn´t know that. i wanted them to mirror each others grain pattern horizontaly :) but good to know, thanks, philipe!

[@davebauerart]

Very nice build and some cool camera angles as well.

[@laurakampf]

cheers! it´s getting harder and harder to find new interesting angles...but i am happy with this one, too

[@zalmaflash]

Beautiful workmanship.

[@laurakampf]

thanks you

[@alibourne01]

Running out of superlatives for your videos, awesome job!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, ali :)

[@dennismott9183]

Awesome work young lady/ keep it up!!!!!

[@laurakampf]

will do, thanks, dennis

[@mebcool]

Great job Laura Kampf. My first time visiting. Just read about you in a comment on one of Frank Howarth's vids so I thought I'd come over here and check out this Laura gal. Really good work. My only problem is this: I noticed that you stained the panels "before" you placed them into their respective frames rather than waiting for the project to be finished before staining. This way the entire panel is covered... kudos to you. But then, you drilled out and installed the hinges "before" staining the frames. I would have thought that you'd stain after drilling and then install the hinges last. Maybe it's just me. At any rate, it's a small detail. Great job Laura. Really good videography too. Look forward to seeing more... and yes, I am subscribing to your channel !

[@laurakampf]

cool to have you here :)

[@michaelzdanis3979]

Very nice build and great editing on the video. Glad to be a subscriber!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, michael! i am glad you subscribed, too!

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

Great work!

[@laurakampf]

[@mjbohn]

Just awesome!

[@laurakampf]

+Michael Bohn cheers

[@MrPeterwaldi]

Very nice project and video! Love the music :)

[@laurakampf]

thanks! that song is fantastic, i´ve used it in 3 videos already and i can´t get enough of it :)

[@MrPeterwaldi]

:) could you tell me the name of the song or where I can find it, please?

[@rippermcguinn]

Tiny or not, its a great friggin door - nice joinery Laura.

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@doctor41baller]

love the door and the multi camera angles :)

[@laurakampf]

thanks for appreciating the camerawork :)

[@MakingStuffco]

Awesome looking door, that much work on a tiny door, I can't imagine a regular size one.

[@laurakampf]

+Making Stuff a regular sized door would almost take the same anount of work...only planing would take a little longer. but the joinery is the same :)

[@MakingStuffco]

+Laura Kampf true true. But heavier haha

[@tburke79]

Cool build, gnarly nail.

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@possumheadcarpentry]

your videos look very professional, still waiting for the pallet wood project. thanks for sharing.

[@laurakampf]

ahhh, i am not a huge fan of pallet wood...but my turbo raft was partly build of a pallet :)

[@RedSmith]

Awesome build. As usual. :)

[@laurakampf]

thank you friend!

[@melitamann1983]

I really love the idea of using wooden pins. Watched a video of John Zhu, who also used wooden pins. As Matthias Wandel showed once the wood is weaker as glued joints and so it is even weaker than screws. Since the entire door is made out of wood adding screws does not increase the durability and therefore adding wooden pins does not reduce the strength of joints. Very nice door!

[@laurakampf]

pins are awesome! they add a lot of strengh

[@mikekmit6045]

SOOOOO love your work. It seems many are concerned about your thumb. For future reference, if that happens again, take a very small drill bit, clamp it in pin vise and carefully drill a small hole to relieve the blood, will heal and not look nearly so bad. Should also save the nail. Thanks for all your wonderful work.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Great job and cool video as usual!!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, man!

[@derfsdad]

Seriously awesome

[@laurakampf]

thanks, mark!

[@MakeitExtreme]

I really enjoy watching this wonderful work ...🚪 🚪 🚪 :-)

[@laurakampf]

thank you!

[@PaulJohnsLife]

Another great job. I'm very jealous of that router table, though I confess, I do not have space for it anyway. Need to make a table of sorts for my trim router.

[@laurakampf]

april wilkerson has a video were she built a super room-saving solution for her t-track table...i bet you could make that work for the router table, too :)

[@cnrart.claudiorodriguez9978]

[@carloscontreras8129]

Precioso trabajo, me encantan todos tus vídeos, tanto los trabajos como la edición y la música. perdón por no escribirte en inglés.

[@GibClark]

nice job! hard to believe it's your first door 👍👍

[@laurakampf]

yeah, i was surprised too haha!

[@GregsGarage]

You've got me curious about where it will go... I'm hoping its for Smudo (I hope I spelled that right.) I love your jointer/planer. Every time I see it I drool just a little bit.

[@laurakampf]

check out my vlog from yesterday...i talk about what this door is for in it

[@Qn0Bi6]

I love that unique flair that your videos have. Nice editing, awesome music and a fantastic build, what more do you need?

[@laurakampf]

sweet! thank you!
