Clever Sandpaper Storage (no more rolled up sheets)

[@TonyBullard]

I don't know exactly why, but I'm enjoying your inclusion of German and the translation. As an English speaker so much is tailored to me, and for some reason hearing you two speak German makes the world seem a bit bigger and more colorful.

[@ClioRSQueen]

Bitte mehr Deutsch zwischendurch 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻

[@evanlane1690]

Same! And I really got a kick out of the subtitles translating "piff paff" in German to "piff paff" in English! 😂

[@SyntaxSeed]

I couldn't say it better!

[@whazee]

I love how you didn't know how to solve the pressure problem, but started anyway. THEN as you glued up the box, the solution presented itself! 😀 What a useful lesson, just start!

[@laurakampf]

Yes!!

[@deanwilliams93]

Yeah. My wall space is a minimum so it will go in a workbench drawer near all the sanding things.

[@Celticshade]

this build had the simple yet self solving fix, and the satisfying fix to the pressure problem lol

[@tomasmerino1039]

As Jimbo from Jimbo's garage would say "I build as I go"

[@bulwynkl]

yep. "Just start" is going to have to be my mantra ...

[@ericpohlman5131]

Laura, the look on your face when you got the idea for the handle was priceless. I had watch it a couple more times before finishing the video.

[@GlenHunt]

Seriously, there is no person on Earth who loves to make things for things more than Laura.

[@laurakampf]

That might actually be true :)

[@BooVeMan]

@@laurakampf I'll humbly throw in Adam Savage as an alternative candidate...

[@frostdragon]

The smile of pride and joy when a project work out is the best thing to see on a maker's face.

[@CoutelleriedelaBrie]

I love this project! So elegant! Also i really love this “new” format where you talk a lot more in the video, it’s great to have your thought process . Your older videos were awesome too but this adds another level to it I really enjoy!

[@thebiggerbyte5991]

Such a successful project! Looks and works great! And 'Perfect Enough' should definitely be on some merch!

[@kevola5739]

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Looking at my curly sand paper sheets thinking "just do what Laura did." Brilliant design as always.

[@washinthewind]

Your reaction when you realized you could make a handle between them just totally made my day! I love seeing other people's moments of joy and inspiration.

[@BlackRiverRoyal]

Got gangrene in my leg, so waiting on the sofa with my leg up high, waiting for the new video from laura is the best way to kill the time : )

[@vasari9198]

Get well soon!

[@Thom4123]

So sorry to hear, take care of yourself. Hope it’s a quick recovery for you.

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

We don't know each other... But, get well.

[@mariemeyer2885]

Love the statement"You always go to school on the first one". Great project and I enjoy the out loud thinking you do in German.

[@AstridGrover]

i love how you just figure things out on the fly. And get really excited to get to it.

[@mkegadgets4380]

I think this might be my favorite build of yours to date. I’m thinking about building one for my 6 inch round sandpaper discs.

[@laurakampf]

Yes! Go for it!

[@greggr1591]

The ingenuity on display here is why being a patron is so rewarding. Keep making, Laura! 👍🏻

[@davebauerart]

Excellent solution, the record bin idea is very cool. I loved the lightbulb moment you had when you thought of connecting the two clamps together!

[@arctosprops]

That is the cleanest looking and performing sandpaper organization I have ever seen. Fantastic job Laura!

[@dolphin64575]

Thank you Felix for help with the Shaper! I love when Laura's so excited about a project she forgets to speak in English

[@samseddie01]

Really cool Laura! I love how you are including the sound of the "let glue dry" block and also I get to learn a bit of German. Great project!

[@CinkSVideo]

We mere mortals are in awe of such an ingenious and elegant solution to the problem we all have with sandpaper storage.

[@JoranGroothengel]

I recently made a great solution for the large rolls of sandpaper: 1L (Greek) yoghurt buckets. I just cut a slot in the side and pull the end of the roll through. Perfect free sandpaper dispenser. Had them on a bar first, but they unrolled themselves and made a mess.

[@dozer1642]

I didn’t want to watch a video on a sandpaper holder. I watched it and now I think I’ll watch it again. 👍✌️😍🤓

[@BronkBuilt]

Very creative but my favorite part is just seeing you so excited about it.

[@shadowscribe]

I love when a maker/restorer does things for themselves, especially when you see it again in a later video and go, "oh yeah, I remember that".

[@horstkotte6114]

I love how the translation incorporates different understandings of "family friendly" across cultural differences 🙂

[@CAPFlyer]

Such an excellent design and execution. Finding that the clamp was just an extra help was even better since it gave you extra options.

[@BernardSandler]

I so love it when you are instantly pleased by your own work. You ought to be.

[@EdwardIglesias]

Awesome! It needs stickers to give it that record store vibe.

[@hackbyte]

Uh yeah, definitely some good stickers!! ;)

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

Excellent! No more rolling sandpaper, and everything in its place. Plus very accessible. Finding solutions to the problem! I really enjoyed watching that, thank you

[@BuzzyStreet]

The combination of your ideas and your excitement make these videos a joy to watch. p.s. thanks for letting Smudo run around and be a real man. I mean, dog!

[@christinehowell]

Watching this in the early morning makes me feel I can take on anything during the day... OK, not as skilled as this, but every little achievement is worth celebrating!

[@dysartes]

Nice infrastructure build, Laura - and it is always a good Sunday when the Let Glue Dry block makes an appearance ;)

[@Mitrasmit]

I love the aha erlebnis when you figured out the handle. I've had those moments where it just clicks, and they feel great!

[@functionSam]

I re-watched this again & I have to say the solution to this problem is... _chef kiss_ !

[@GabrielKTX]

Whenever you feel sad or have a bad day, just watch a Laura video, and you'll feel better instantly 😊

[@jeremyllewellyn]

The cardboard separator and labels with nice tape gave me as much joy as the beginning part of the build! Love elegant stuff like that.

[@Studio23Media]

Not only is the project beautiful, but I'm so jealous of your sandpaper collection!

[@kellilandry2825]

Even if you didn’t need to stop the curling, this is just the coolest! And yes, God bless you Smudo!!❤️

[@MountainPirate]

Ok, it is not the not rolling up, it is not the "having it organized", it is definitely the Record store feeling why you love it so much!

[@davidefr]

5:05...the emotion to find the solution. The heart lose a bite. The work can go on in your way. Fantastic moment in a project that!!!!! Great job...as always!

[@MicraHakkinen]

I know that feeling when you feel all giddy about how well something turned out :) Great idea, great execution and very enjoyable video!

[@Fernando-xd4uo]

I was having kind of a bad time and just from watching Laura being so happy I got a lot better.

[@eunicejames5330]

Good Sunday morning 🌞👋🏾

[@frenchfry4310]

Watching your videos, brings me back to when I was younger and my father was setting up his workshop, a lot of the choices your making are very similar to what my father did and it brings me joy to watch you as well as revisit my youth with my father. Thank you, you truly are amazing at what you do, and keep smiling😁

[@Dicyroller]

Watching you improve your workspace calms me.

[@jeanettel4840]

I love your channel for many reasons. 1. it's awesome to see a female that can fabricate stuff that is so smart and creative that has a LEGIT shop and skills. 2. You're like a kid in a candy store when you figure out how to make something and love it. 3. You're just happy and cool and have great energy. Keep up the good work. From Wyoming USA

[@FlobioPlays]

I like how you go about solving a problem. As you describe the problem I come up with a solution in my head and your solution is always different.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Laura, it means so much to me that you found another guy named Felix to help you there. Now you have 2 guys named felix, one there and one in Nebraska, USA Another one of your mechanical builds that I absolutely love, ingenious, my friend. Thanks for sharing. Felix

[@andrewgalbreath2101]

Love the mechanism and love the final shape of them. Looks great on the wall

[@silliestduffer]

This was such a beautiful design, my goodness

[@bradlothrop4076]

It is wonderful to see your smile as you realize this small incremental change for "quality of life" in the shop. The comparable glee of is the esthetic of a well functioning handle (and needing to share that feeling). One less thing to take away focus from the project you were working on. You have changed my focus that workspace improvement has priority as needs are identified. Thanks!

[@minutemark]

I love how your brilliant mind works. You never cease to come up with unconventional ideas that work really well. Kudos!

[@debzeb6899]

I didn’t expect this to be so compelling but it was mesmerising. I don’t get a chance to think about 3d solutions to problems in my work life but in my home life stuff breaks and needs repairing all the time and my hacks are very basic. Seeing your elegant approach to a problem I’d just live with is inspiring and taught me a lot along the way.

[@MYEVILTWIIN]

Seriously clever , and who doesn’t like record shops ..... never a minute wasted looking for new music 👍

[@averagejoesworkshop]

I appreciate your enthusiasm for design and function. Your excitement over the result is reward for even the simplest of shop organization projects! Well done!

[@davidparker3346]

I think all wood workers have thought of doing something like this. You actually did it. I think it came out great, good job.

[@veepsgarage]

That’s an awesome idea. I was skeptical at first when you decided to choose those clamps but it worked out perfectly and looks good too.

[@vickiefowler1429]

My jaw dropped when you got to the sand paper storage! What an awesome idea!!!

[@jimadams6159]

Just love how you think of these ideas. Brilliant project and the smile on your face when it all works so well is priceless.

[@evanharriman5352]

I don’t even have a shop right now but you’re thrill of this new project makes me want to go buy that fancy sand paper and build this organizer that doesn’t have a home

[@kevindouglaswrycraft4909]

Your exuberance and pure joy when a project comes together is amazing. Fertile minds will save the world. Thank you.

[@lisahodges8299]

Yes "let glue dry"! This method could apply to the sewers who watch your channel to keep the patterns safe and clean. I love cutting no matter what the media is. Thank you. Birdy

[@DanielWahlig]

Brilliant design as always! I love hearing you speaking more german in the videos these days, as well. Adds a nice authenticity to the videos.

[@Celticshade]

so satisfying. my basement workshop has literally no orginazation, no spots for any of the tools and a bunch of hardwood flooring laying around. i need to see what i can do to make it work better im gonna have to clean it and then basically remove all the tools cause man its a disaster. this type of stuff is always helpful for ideas.

[@edwardchester1]

That is a truly brilliant project. Hits the spot in every way - those clamps couldn't have been more perfect for the job.

[@gilbycoyote]

What i love about your Projects is that they’re not over polished. One does not get the impression you spend more time on organizing the workplace, than getting work done, just like it should be. Greetings from Luxembourg to Köln!

[@FrankGraffagnino]

i'm just realizing how fun it is to see some german language in here and how fun it would be to learn some german words from you in future videos. great stuff!

[@amoose136]

I like this solution a lot. I had laser cut solutions (vertically stacked planes of drawers) in mind previously but I may opt towards something closer to this after seeing the result.

[@isuzuoasis]

This project is genius and I love the look of it. It also reminded me of the record store bins.

[@ceriedwards3]

Oh the look on your face when you tried the handle: it should be a gif for "satisfaction in success, with a hint of smug" 🥰. Also I had a comic vision of you sweeping your shop with your broom after several projects involving nicking a length of the broom, on your knees because its so short. The sandpaper storage looks brilliant!

[@skottistuff]

Ich liebs, dass Felix und du so zusammen arbeiten! Ein ganz anderer Flow und noch sympathischer, das denglisch :D Und das Projekt kann sich sehen lassen! Ich denk die ganze Zeit an nen Plattenladen :D

[@erinokay9991]

Making your shop more efficient is my favorite content honestly

[@dianahenderson]

I would have thought your solution would involve a spring...but the clamp is sooooo much cooler! A really nice end result! Well Done!

[@michaelholbrook4401]

Your enthusiasm over how nice they came out, made me want to go build some... and I don't even have a use for that much sandpaper. :)

[@hannahsparky]

Simple solution to a problem all makers have I might have to borrow this idea for mine, I hate it when sand paper rolls. You've got me thinking why I've never come up such a genius idea 😂

[@RobMods]

Great video as usual. FWIW, you can sort and store sheets of sandpaper in foolscap expanding files. I've done this for years. Works well.

[@solino2002andrea]

Hi 👋 Laura, Those boxes are absolutely awesome 👏! I’m a little bit envious of such a sandpaper little treasure. Really cool project and congratulations for the sparkling fantasy and imagination you have got.

[@felixschelhasse]

it´s so nice that you can work with the wooden clamps so easily, just glue it in place how you need it 😍

[@Maj7]

Laura, you are an absolute treat to watch! Cool seeing Felix step up to the plate as well, great video!

[@heinblod3204]

Coole Idee, am Anfang dachte ich das wird nichts mit den Klemmzwingen aber der Aufwand hat sich gelohnt . So verhindert man wirkungsvoll das nervige aufrollen und kann trotzdem schnell und übersichtlich den passenden Bogen entnehmen.

[@xraygaga3982]

Unfassbar gute Ideen, die Du hast!!! Von so einer Werkstatt kann man nur träumen….😌

[@mikaelwiik3513]

I liked this sandpaper holder / organiser idea. Solves two problems in one. And I really liked your Heureka moment with the clamps. Scratches for Smudo.

[@DaOneAndOnlyKDubb]

Wow!!! Seriously, you and Adam have got to be related!!! You both get, I think, more love out of making tool infrastructure than making things!!! And that is AWESOME!!!

[@michaeltreutlein2536]

Absolute genius! This is the best shop idea I’ve seen in a few years 👍👍👍

[@danielwoolfe1135]

I love hearing the conversations and the German! It really showcases aspects of your personality and culture that adds to the video. It's a great recent 'change' I've noticed. Keep it up! Piff paff ;)

[@dixie2308]

So sweet, you can really tell Laura found a really cool solution and it made her day 🤘

[@sasgeek888]

the broomstick handle was beautiful in design and make!

[@radix23]

Just want to say that I love this style of video you've been doing lately!

[@laurakampf]

Thank you! I enjoy it too!!

[@GetToKnowNature]

Another brilliant solution to a workshop problem!

[@Craftlngo]

Klemmsia Clamps for the win! This is something Klemmsia might want to know what is all possible with their products

[@LisaWilcox]

I love this! It reminds me of a older file cabinet drawer that does the same thing! I do love that you referenced records! I still have my vinyl collection! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@captnsnafu]

Ahh, the feeling of designing something to make your life easier in your workshop and just end up spot on ... Great job ! :)

[@randomizer1355]

hallo laura, ich finde es immer wieder krass, wie du so kreativ sein kannst und auf solche coole ideen kommst! respekt!

[@lorenzomariasantini]

I was already thinking about a counterweighted assited screwing mechanism. that was incredibly simple yet beautiful

[@ExercisingIngenuity]

Loved the build! And loved how satisfied you were with the end product. Best feeling ever! 👌

[@Maya_Unplugged]

Ein Karteikasten für Schmirgelpapier! Deutscher geht’s nicht!! I LOVE IT 😂🤩

[@NinaThoren]

This is so smart! I'm a very visual person but I had a though time wrapping my head around the tightening mechanism until you showed it, so cool how your mind works and just comes up with the most amazing solutions

[@bakicci]

calling out to your dog in narnia and him coming over was so cuteeeee

[@gkelly]

Amazing solution. I could easily imagine this as a commercial product.

[@andreashauser4109]

Großartig. Für meine viel bescheideneren Mengen Sandpapier habe ich eine alte Vorlagemappe mit 31 Fächern recycelt.

[@rob1971]

What a smart design, I really love those and it's so nice to see how pleased you are with it too ☺️
