Making a Lamp from Scrap Wood

[@dinobuddy]

Everyone watching this understands what a gifted maker Laura is, but can we take a moment to appreciate how she curates the best music and incorporates it so seamlessly into her videos? Her editing skills are just as incredible. I think other KZbinrs could learn a big lesson from this just as a matter of capititalizing on viewer statistics: keeping the viewer engaged with the music all the way through makes sure they watch the whole video start to finish. Love you, Laura, stay awesome!

[@laurakampf]

Thanks! That is a big compliment :)

[@robertsteinbeiss8478]

@@laurakampf Thank you!

[@bobtoelle2795]

I like how she synchronized the sandpaper sounds at 6:58!

[@rippermcguinn]

Absolutely! I come for the content and enjoy the tunes - Laura got me in to Biffy Clyro! This one - that bassline just pulled me along.

[@momphard]

@dinobuddy is so correct. I'd love to see a video on *how* Laura edits to the music. It's almost as if she's been listening to the song over and over while making whatever she's making. MAYbe!?

[@Laurabeck329]

I love how a significant portion of this video was just Laura making world's fanciest plywood

[@turbo2ltr]

I like these videos. No talking, no constantly plugging the companies that give you free stuff that normal people cant afford, but instead just showing the beauty of the process... using the tools you've acquired yourself.

[@EricMeyerMaker]

Another video showing off another work of art. An excellent Sunday.

[@yousefal-otaibi150]

Nooo the holes looked very cool !!! I loved the lamp !

[@skwatson2617]

Looking at your expressions handling wood, metal and tools says it all for me! The pleasure you express, your smile, the way you caress what you make…it’s inspiring and what creativity is all about. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents.👍🏻👏🏻😎

[@rossanctuary5238]

Wow..now that is a really nice lamp fella. 😅

[@BauBoomBang]

Super schönes Ergebnis und endlich konnte ich mal wieder was von Dir schauen!! 🤍

[@simonr6793]

Laura the lamp turned out to be a great idea, very cool looking and the lampshade has art deco vibes to it!!! As always Laura 💯%... 👍🇬🇧.

[@gpanizzolo6090]

Hermoso trabajo! Gracias por compartirlo, como siempre. Un abrazo! Cuídate bien. Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay.

[@waltherschoonenburg8083]

Hello Laura. This is not just a lamp...this is a masterpiece...this is art !! With kind regarts .. Walther

[@bobaird6440]

Hey Laura, I'm an industrial design student and just wanted to thank you for making your videos. Your videos remind me why I got into making and design in the first place. All the best! -Bo

[@heiditobin4341]

Clever! The lamp is unique! I like the style and functionality of the lamp!

[@christopherdubour6662]

I love everything about this lamp! I need to keep that technique in my back pocket: cutting wood into thin strips, wetting, bending in a form, glueing up. The shape of the shade reminds me of a Tiffany lamp! It got a cool radius effect at the bottom from the plywood. I like the holes and cord wrap, it’s utilitarian. Also, I’m fond of those toggle switches.

[@garryryan3654]

Thank you for the Sunday fun. Take care.

[@johilpert9149]

Lovely lamp for no plan. I must confess I liked the look of the shade pieces from the underside where you see the different colored woods in the layers. Also for me I would have made the arch thick enough to accommodate the cord internally. But hindsight is always 20/20. Still a cool looking lamp. Thank you for sharing.

[@danielpreilly77]

really like the subtractive method of letting lines in layers show through in shade, sehr gut Laura

[@johnpayne2465]

It's a thing of beauty. 10/10 Laura.

[@crazyaccident7206]

I love these works you do, you are great and it was very good that you met with the diresta.

[@chuckmontecillo9620]

I know nothing about wood working but I thoroughly enjoy watching your projects come together.

[@thetrevor861]

Let Glue Dry. The most heavily used item in your shop ! Lovely work, a piece of art.

[@RussellMakes]

This was awesome! Loved watching you let it flow!

[@gingerehrhardt843]

It's so beautiful watching a creator create.

[@davejive1]

In every one of Laura’s videos we witness great design, which seems to come out of her mind effortlessly and is presented in a cool, humorous way. I love the let glue dry piece of wood and top.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I love the lamp. Especially the shade😊🐝❤

[@SciPunk215]

These low cost - no cost projects are great !! Please keep these projects coming. It is so satisfying to see junk turned into something useful or beautiful.

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

As somebody raised by T.V and spent over 1/4 of my life watching movies... This is enjoyable at so many levels. Thank you for following your passion. ¡¡PURA VIDA!!

[@RAmmi077]

Ein echt schöne, klassiche Lampe, ein Unikat. Solche Arbeiten liebe ich 😍 Get work keep on sharing your creativity Greatings from Luxemburg

[@ericstoever9577]

Thank you for your enthusiasm, your willingness to share your skills, and mostly for your smile!

[@scampyruffo]

I seriously love all the amazing work Laura does. Sunday is by far my favorite day of the week just because i get a new Laura video that day. Thank youuuu 🥰🥰🥰

[@johncrosbie-rowlands7886]

I can honestly say that lamp is a beautiful piece of craftwork

[@julietphillips1991]

It is a beautiful lamp and listening to you at the end was even better!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Beautiful film. Love the capturing of the process. Let glue dry! Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@debrabell2604]

Your creations are amazing and so innovative a treat to watch you build Beauty. Thank you

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

My wife agreed with you on the cord. Love the look of the lamp.

[@funkyspacecow]

Fantastic! The heavy brass hardware and purple power cords are a very nice touch. As always it's such a pleasure to watch you work :)

[@rikvdmark]

The additional holes actually look nice, like you intentionally let the hole pattern continue. Nice one!

[@the_cheese]

Wow, this is such a Cool Thing!! This is amazing work, Laura! Thank you so much for sharing it with us

[@orrwho1304]

This felt like a classic Kampf video. The wood, the brass and the lamp. And the edit at 6:59, perfection!

[@tayleanruatha]

Firstly, you are talented beyond belief. It's so enjoyable to watch someone in their element. Second, a contrasting plug in the "not needed" holes in the arm might be cool, brass or maple? They look intentional to any one who doesn't know different. Cheers and Wow dude! 👍

[@jbb5470]

What a beautiful lamp! You are so creative and handy, I always learn something from your videos, Thanks for posting!!

[@nicklindsay3418]

You are amazing and BADASS. You are one of the best on youtube

[@sp.ghidansp9434]

Sure , I'm enjoyed with this video , new idea and amazing finishing . from Iraq best regards to you Laura .

[@EngineerMikeF]

Laura, U should consider "lashing," multiple wraps of heavy thread or fine cord, for cable control when it is exposed. Telecom companies used (maybe still use) lashing for neat cable bundles (they rarely use zip ties as cabling may stay in place for decades & plastic dies & cracks over time)

[@pochetron2]

Very slick ! nice work ! i like the way you plan your work (even without a plan) and organize it.

[@Bentejui72]

Very original that lamp, I loved the details, congratulations.

[@MadAsKiwi]

Very interesting that you used Ballistol to finish the lamp. I have used Ballistol on devices that fling projectiles at high velocity, as a lubricant on the sole of my plane, and a few other things, but not as a wood finish. I don't have the spray version (in fact the bottle of Ballistol I have is decades old), so I don't test that, but if I see the spray version, I will give that a go. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work

[@michelcohadon3163]

Bonsoir Superbe travail Très belle lampe Merci pour vos vidéos Michel 😉🙏🏻🍻

[@sylvestresanchez4848]

Always amazing to see you’re work.

[@Thundermuffin93]

You have such a great gift for making lamps and lights. And so many if them seem to start as ideas without a formal plan but that you make through drawing. Love it so much. And I appreciate the different techniques you try to incorporate in each build. Its tremendous. Thank you and see you next week!

[@rippermcguinn]

"Let Glue Dry" - a compelling statement in both making... and life!

[@fedegoeswoods3142]

Lovely video again Laura, thank you! It would be nice listening to you explaining a little bit more how you are doing and what you're doing, like diving into your thought process and into techniques a little bit more!

[@Torsan1977]

I 💖watching the process just as much as the end result. You're such an amazing storyteller!

[@TheHkluivert]

I like this one a lot, the creativity, the materials: nice!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I love tools! great to see you making things🦌💌❤️☕️📚🙏

[@DaOneAndOnlyKDubb]

Wow that lamp is beautiful!

[@gmbs81]

I'll keep watching, Laura

[@nickbremner6274]

I loved your video Laura, minimum amount of video-filling talking, maximum amount of video-filling doing! Well done; I'm amazed at your knowledge and practical skills, I know some of the theory but my skill level is much lower than yours. I live in a carpentry world vicariously through your videos. I've also been to your country, and Austria, many times but my understanding of the German language is still rudimentary; I'm impressed at your fluency in (American) English. Nick , Hampshire.

[@cliveoldfield9904]

Amazing....100% the most beautiful video and end product for a while.... love your stuff!! Been here since star key 😊💚🤍🧡

[@bobbihanratty8792]

Sure do enjoy all the awesome things you make!!

[@sazennonumber]

You imprint your style in everything you do, and it's beautiful. It's not over the top and yet attention is given so uniquely to every detail.

[@nancyjohnson9013]

No surprises here...you are an amazing creator, builder AND gluer. I just know - you Laura Kampf could create & build anything!!! 💖

[@josb51]

I don't know how you came up with the idea to make such a lamp, but I think it looks very cool and the way you bend that wood is very clever learned something great video Laura.

[@laurakampf]

That is great! Thanks!

[@esilnorak]

wow, what an incredible work of art and craft!

[@enjoyrc2771]

What a nice result! Perfect use of left over scraps :)

[@dege3738]

Klasse Design mit so wenig mareriellem Aufwand. Super gemacht. Danke. ;-)

[@matthewb8229]

Going with the flow makes me think if my favorite quote: "The material and the craftsman's thoughts change together in a progression of smooth, even changes until his mind is at rest at the exact instant the material is right." Robert Pirsig

[@daniadejonghe4980]

Now this is one BEAUTIFUL little lamp!

[@Km.SiuLane007]

This lamp remember me of my grandmother had in her house !! Nice job

[@usmub]

It's a beautiful lamp. It has a very elegant, modern take on a classic kind of look to it. I would love to have a lamp like that. Anyways, a great video as always. Thank you!

[@321southtube]

I'm a man of few words........ Amazing! Be safe-Be well

[@bubu_massa]

Impecable work, Laura!! It turned out amazing!

[@hl893]

I am in love with your mind and with your smile and it took me a while to think about which one to list first.

[@CONACHO]

The most important thing when one build things I think is to enjoy what you do, seeing your face when you caress the freshly sanded wood and how you look at what you have just done at the end of each project, it is very clear that you enjoy what you do. I am a few years old and it has been clear to me for a long time that this is enjoying life, taking advantage of every little moment and enjoying the little things that each day gives us. Congratulations.

[@GetToKnowNature]

I love the shape of this! Almost floral. What a beautiful object.

[@charlotteschafer6423]

Schöne Leuchten...Du und deine Lampe. Ich liebe deinen Kanal und das alte Haus.

[@darrenwright9619]

There’s a real Tiffany-esque quality to this lamp. I love it!

[@matthewb8229]

The holes is the arm are really a good part of it! I dig the exposed wires also.

[@richtraube2241]

What a beautiful desk lamp. And, as always, a great video.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Nice work, I love making stuff on the hoof. Thanks for sharing. Andy UK

[@cassiacries]

fantastic, favourite thing I've seen you do! x

[@michaelcauser474]

Laura, you are a true tradesman (tradeslady?) of the old school. You have learnt things that a lot of the current tradies are never taught. You also own any small mistakes you make with true modesty. I am 72 and stand in awe of you. p.s. I am also envious of your workshop.

[@jalanchee]

Wow, this turned out so pretty! I love the brass and the purple cord and the inside of the shade!

[@deejaydubla]

Lovely and delicate design on this.

[@loril.mangold8160]

Wow, when I saw that lamp in the begining I thought the shade was metal, Nice job, because I have an old metal shade lamp, with the gooseneck bendable arm

[@cllc4u]

I love how creative you are using just what you have.

[@typ1804]

Beside the projects themselves, I really like your style of how you present the tools or your merch. It's very elegant and not so on the nose like some sponsor-sections others have. Very good. Grüße aus Lippstadt

[@aliciapmilano]

I love the purple details

[@PhilipStubbs]

I have been thinking of a desk lamp project for some time. This is a great idea. I need to stop thinking and start making! Thanks for the video.

[@TherealLumpendoodle]

That is very nicely done, even with the holes.😎

[@chetleonard169]

That's really gorgeous Laura! Kudos

[@d4nial]

Love it! Why not use some more brass scrap to plug the holes in the arm, thus matching the base? Just one idea!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

beautiful lamp! great design. You ARE a a great artist with top skills!

[@thesawdustfactory]

Nicely done Laura. Thanks for sharing.

[@jordanlarson6488]

so nice. That shape of the shade is just marvelous

[@FamilyRoots]

Beautiful Lamp ! Well done ! love this !
