Laura´s Turbo Raft

[@LiamTronix]

I really like how your projects are both functional *and* sick-looking!

[@MichaelKieweg]

Ich bin echt beeindruckt. Ich hätte drauf gewettet, daß dich der Motorsensenturbo keinen Meter weit bringt. Ganz großes Kino! Chapeau!

[@laurakampf]

+Michael Kieweg vielen dank!

[@Mienecus]

The concept is marvelous. The realization is perfect. The testing is succesful and hilarious. Perfect video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@laurakampf]

glad you enjoy it as much as i do

[@thetalkingfly]

Summertime fun! You are so great - cheers, Steve aka The Talking Fly.

[@laurakampf]

thank you, steve

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Our imaginations are our more best assets! This was brilliant, for the concept alone, Laura....we HAVE to hang out someday! Really fun stuff, SIEGE THE DAY!

[@laurakampf]

i have a feeling that we will get to hang out one day! looking forward to that!

[@repeataftermerestoration4179]

A shovel for an oar , a grass trimmer for a motor and the laughs @5:02 says it all ...Nice summer time video , well done !!

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@marinus4482]

4:40 : Dog is like "What did I get myself into now.."

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

The amount of technics and coolness is this video is much too high. Awesome !

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@tooljunkie555]

i think only you could pull that off laura!-that was so awesome!☆☆☆☆☆ "TURBO TIME!"💥💥💥💥💥

[@laurakampf]

:) TURBO TIIIIIME!

[@tooljunkie555]

Laura Kampf u should try a lawn mower moter next time;) TURBO TURBO TIME!haha!

[@BrassLock]

That motor is probably powerful enough if you have a better propeller shape. Thais use small motors attached to a similar shaft, called a "longtail", so it can be very practical. Lots of fun watching your enthusiasm. Your friends and Smudo must love your crazy inventions!!!

[@laurakampf]

the thai long tail boats are a bit more dynamic in shape than my clumps raft :)

[@smnhpkns]

You are slowly turning into a KZbin Legend. Genius, pure genius.

[@laurakampf]

what a compliment! thanks dude!

[@smnhpkns]

your welcome, slowly going through all your vids

[@laurakampf]

great! i hope you enjoy the rest of my work, too!

[@BigRonxxxx]

Laura the raft came out great,it looked like you had alot of fun designing and making it,thanks for sharing all the best to you and yours

[@laurakampf]

thanks, ron! we had a great time on the water!

[@NornerNlhoutbewerking]

Haha that was just too much fun! Your attention to detail is what makes your projects and videos stand out from the rest. Decalling those floaters is just the finishing touch! Great video.

[@laurakampf]

thanks for appreciating my detail work! that is where the fun is for me

[@dannyoktim9628]

It must be fun being a kid all day, that prop, the shovel pedal. . .priceless, you found your niche in life. you make great content!! thanks

[@therealboofighter]

Great Build Video Laura. You did a great job on that raft, Brings back good memories... Thank you for sharing...

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@ChippedBuilds]

All of your projects are legit!!! Love the paint job.

[@laurakampf]

thank you

[@StefanoilFalegname]

too much oil mixed with gasoline! :) ciao Laura, ti seguo sempre!!!

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

She will put oil at 4%, the correct dose would be 2%...but was Turbo Raft!

[@StefanoilFalegname]

io il mio decespugliatore lo faccio andare al 2,5 % con il sintetico

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

Stefano il Falegname si,2,5 è perfetto,l'importante è non esagerare ne in troppo ne in troppo poco!

[@MillersMotors]

came here from AVE to say the same XD, cool channel!

[@435now]

Rule of thumb is 2.5 oz. Per one gallon of gas

[@garythompson6986]

Cool Build! Mixing mosquito controlling weed eater exhaust with S.E. Asia longboat propulsion brought back long ago memories. Tunes were toe tapping too!! Way to go!!

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Well Laura, It floated..... LOL Great build...... Love your creativity! Felix from Nebraska

[@laurakampf]

thanks felix!

[@jesusgutierrez994]

amazing raft Laura you have blown my mind once again

[@laurakampf]

awesome!

[@divyajnana]

You are amazing! AND the raft floats 3 people and a Smudo! And don't forget the weed-wacker propulsion system...just like the boats in Thailand.

[@laurakampf]

thank you! it was a lot of fun, especially when we all got up there

[@janwijbrand]

Can't help myself...: TURBOOOOOOO TIIIIIIIIME! So, glad I got that out of my system. Great build, must've been fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@laurakampf]

+Jan-Wijbrand Kolman hahaha

[@MrSpankymc]

Absolutely brilliant, your creativity never ceases to amaze me.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, mark!

[@RichardMartin]

Am I the only one who thought that someone was going to fall in? Or maybe Smudo would jump in.... Love it, another great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@laurakampf]

haha, i was expecting to fall in any second...but it was a lot more stable than i though

[@kraftybeard4272]

Haha love it! Really fun project :) all you need now is deckchair and some beer

[@laurakampf]

we had the beer ...:)

[@kraftybeard4272]

Bliss :)

[@robertlohman8947]

[@laurakampf]

thanks, kjell!

[@Apchestangenightout]

Wow Laura that was great . You did a wonderful job on both the making of the video and on the making of your raft . Thanks for sharing with us KZbin .

[@laurakampf]

you are very welcome :)

[@PaulJohnsLife]

Whimsical and wonderful project! Loved your laugh when the motor actually moved you. Enjoy!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, paul

[@Don.Challenger]

Nicely done happily used and Smudo! Oops, careful now, I see the safety folks sidle up to say "PPE - life preservers" and nearly spoil all the fun. Have a good week.

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@tazytka]

Awesome little speed boat you got there! Always look forward to your videos every Sunday morning!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, tommy

[@ionelbanu4451]

You should put all this in a book called " Laura's manual of having fun for grownups" :))))

[@laurakampf]

great idea!

[@ionelbanu4451]

Laura Kampf in today's era of smartphone this book of yours would make a best seller :)))

[@JackmanWorks]

Turbo for sure! haha Love the paint scheme

[@laurakampf]

thank you!mthe paint job was really fun to do

[@g2macs]

Came by via that lunatic Canadian for a lookee, subscribed and enjoying your vids.

[@laurakampf]

awesome! cool to have you on board :)

[@BrianAWoods]

+Laura Kampf nice video very creative 😊

[@outdoorzwithcadentripp2412]

Laura Kampf where did u get the pipe and what size is it

[@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958]

Awesomely cool turbo raft! Great vid showing how its made too.

[@caesar2164]

I love that you wear your Sinn Navitimer in the shop, like Jimmy Diresta does with his submariner! :)

[@laurakampf]

:) i try not to but sometimes i forget...it´s my grandfathers watch

[@bayonasdesign]

hahahaha! you nailed it!! I think every child inside us is jealous about you right now!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@MotosRancagua]

Te adoro, eres un genio, que divertido y tu perro confia plenamente en tu trabajo jajajajajaja, saludos de Chile

[@Rouverius]

Great build, Laura! +colinfurze, Watch out, mate. Looks like you've got some new competition from Cologne.

[@laurakampf]

haha, i think i have a lot to learn before i can compete with him :)

[@njmcliffe]

Trimming your raft with a trimmer! Lovely build and great video, thanks.

[@laurakampf]

thanks for watching nick!

[@joyvanacker3749]

Childhood memories and a tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day, thanks Laura! 😄😄

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@alexforman7967]

I love these builds. They are so much fun. great job!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, alex

[@LukeDorny]

Alex Forman totally enjoying it, as well.

[@MakerOnTheMove]

She's a beautiful craft! That looks like a lot of fun, both to make and ride.

[@laurakampf]

it sure was

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool project!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, man

[@Yenrabbit]

Looks like a lot of fun! I have just discovered your channel and it looks wonderful - your videos are done so well :)

[@laurakampf]

glad you like my work, jonathan!

[@subStuff]

Very nice. I have two questions about propeller: 1, How did u balance angle of 4 fins/blades? I ask becoz I know if angles are not balanced (in air fans atleast) there are horrible vibrations. 2, Was propulsion force as you expected or less?

[@laurakampf]

i dien´t balance them...just eye-level. i expected it not to much at all to be honest so i was surprised

[@jpwoodwork]

that is great!! love that you used a strimmer for an outboard motor :)

[@laurakampf]

i was surprised how "well" it worked :) and how much it somked aha

[@jpwoodwork]

Laura Kampf hahaha yes it did smoke a little didnt it haha

[@Carraroebouncingcastles]

COOL FUN PROJECT AMAZING VIDEO VERY ENTERTAINING LOVE IT 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

hahahah this is awesome!! you have to try introducing the propeller in a cylinder to get more turbojet :D

[@laurakampf]

would that work better? cool!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Well, it depends on the power and speed the motor is able to supply but first I think maybe the impeller blades could be bending under the load? I don't know how stiff is that plastic. Aluminum would be cool :D If you want to keep improving it I can review my university notes about impeller blades designs haha!

[@laurakampf]

i probably wouldn´t understand it anyways haha...i think i will do another water project and will try a smaller propeller for that...we will see :)

[@rippermcguinn]

Very cool - I didn't know that you had wilderness like that in your area (similar to here in Canada). The propeller setup reminds me of those that you see in southeast Asia, a motor with a long shaft. Good build!

[@laurakampf]

yes, we have a lot of nature in germany! thanks

[@RussGetsIt]

The shovel oar is perfect. Awesome build!

[@kevohh10]

Found you from the Making It Podcast! Very cool stuff!

[@laurakampf]

sweet! thanks for coming over!

[@EdwardIglesias]

Very cool! Many years ago a friend built a similar vessel using 55 gallon oil drums as pontoons and was able to fit a canopy on it for shade. It had two moters that never worked.

[@laurakampf]

i have a huge oil drum flying around and since this project was so much fun i think i will do some water-related project with it as well

[@EdwardIglesias]

Jetski?

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Creativity & innovative making skill brings Magic! Fabulous mid summer like dream watch. Thanks for sharing

[@ConstructIcon]

What great ingenuity! Totally awesome!!

[@laurakampf]

thank you

[@ID84deteccion]

danke für solche lustigen videos, du bist ein künstler! Grüße aus Patagonien Argentinien

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Absolutely beautiful! And the raft looks good too.

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@WildmanTech]

I love the shovel as an oar, but I think a thicker prop with more pitch is in order. Good job!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@TunMaker]

one nice new style project great work =) i'd love it if you do more of these thanks for making these videos

[@laurakampf]

i will do

[@stevecollins9450]

Great video and raft build, Laura.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, steve

[@scotthutson736]

How fun was that? Awesome project Laura.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, scott

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

The most inefficiently powered raft in existence... but it's a powered raft :D Nice.

[@laurakampf]

haha. it´s a start and it made us smile all day :)

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

Laura Kampf You could always turn this thing into a water bike. I'd like to see an original design of one.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

brush cutter for a propeller? bwahah, classic. "turbo" indeed. in the future, though, i'd recommend to you a stihl brushcutter; it would have more power :-P you are one of a kind, love.

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Wow! Such turbo! Much speed! 🤓

[@laurakampf]

haha, thanks

[@JMTosses]

So cool. I don't even know what to say ... it's just wow ... cool. Thank you for sharing - good you're having a great time. Cheers!

[@laurakampf]

thanks my friend!

[@rabid_monkey8714]

Love your stuff Laura, but I think it went faster with the shovel (oops, I meant paddle)! Great job!

[@laurakampf]

thanks.

[@TRUMPLocalWallBuildersUnion]

that's awesome , nice job Laura :) and that text came out awesome.... maybe someday you can do a video about creating , painting and drawing text ... you are really good at that..... thanks laura !

[@laurakampf]

i will keep that in mind! thanks

[@TRUMPLocalWallBuildersUnion]

Laura Kampf :)

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

[@markuskeck7106]

[@laurakampf]

danke, Markus! wir hatten einen super Tag!

[@Mzmasta]

Awesome!Fun project & great paint job ;)

[@laurakampf]

thanks! i enjoyed the paint job the most :)

[@MattFriedrichs]

Just like Junkyard Wars! Nicely done.

[@laurakampf]

never seen that show. is it good?

[@MattFriedrichs]

I haven't watched in years, but it was fun. Teams of people building various things, including boats from "junk"

[@gregmiller2510]

Hello from South Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA!

[@claterpult]

looks like fun, now that you have a prototype it's time to make a house boat ;)

[@laurakampf]

oh yes! that would be awesome

[@Hoggaforfan]

Why didn't you modifie the cutting blade and use that as propeller?

[@cheif10thumbs]

That thingamatooldude AvE sent me. Great fun! Thank you Laura!

[@laurakampf]

thanks for coming over!

[@BCdesign1]

Fun build Laura!!

[@laurakampf]

cheers!

[@visions2963]

Came here because of Make: , just subscribed ! keep up the good work ! ;)

[@laurakampf]

thanks for stoping by!

[@capnskustomworks]

So awesome, the IG pics barely hinted at how cool that was! Some sweet exhaust pipes and a more permanent mounting system and you'll be evading the law by moonlight in no time!!! (Also, your WeedWhacker technology in Germany is SERIOUS!!! Wow!)

[@laurakampf]

haha, thanks!

[@capnskustomworks]

+Laura Kampf You're most welcome!

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

Nice Build Laura!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, paolo

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Cool raft! Summer is the best. Unless you like to ski...

[@laurakampf]

i prefer summer

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Me too, although winter makes summer feel really good.

[@rehanperera759]

Long time ago! I'm for sure! I saw you! Because I remember your tattoos! 👀✌💟

[@vilcamabel]

OMG I need build this for me 👍😂 great job Laura

[@laurakampf]

YES! it is absolutly worth it :)

[@shortvideostutorials.1]

There is no doubt how creative you are? Great work. The tattoos looks amazing too. Thanks for sharing. Can you please make another video about tattoos? Thanks

[@ivancarrillo7974]

That's the secret, love and enjoy what you do! congrats another awesome project

[@laurakampf]

you got it!

[@matthiasbernhard9987]

"Und es war Sommer ... !"Schöne Idee, das.Das Material haben wir auch auf der Baustelle und einen Teich gleich um die Ecke.Vielleicht machen wir hier einenkleinen Wettbewerb draus, wenn dieanderen Jungs ausm Urlaub zurück sind.

[@laurakampf]

ja hammer! macht das und schickt mir bitte n foto :)

[@SyberPrepper]

So great. Next, you will have to try jet power with a leaf blower. :)

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@ratrodramblin]

I love the 80s paint scheme. Its RAD

[@CarlinComm]

Well that was fun :) Nice job!

[@freasfurniture8978]

Did you post a materials list for this?

[@terryhansen5164]

That's it this is what I was hoping for when I seen the Instagram photos. Greatest thing ever

[@laurakampf]

thanks, terry

[@asbjrnhuseb9618]

Good job, entertaining video! :) I have one suggestion, make the propeller out of a stiffer material, the one you have now can't handle the forces and the blades loose their pitch under power. One made of metal would give you more speed.

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Among other things, I loved the claw hammer...minus one claw. Reminds me of my dad, who would never give up on a tool.

[@laurakampf]

never leave a man behind, right ? :)

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

Looks like loads of fun!!

[@laurakampf]

it really was
