This week I built a portable solar food dehydrator.
I made it portable because I have the best sunlight on my rooftop and I want to be ableto take it backinside when its raining.

This was ingenious!! We sat watching and my wife, who hadn't seen the title, was trying to guess what you were making. "A cupboard? Shelves? A bee hive?? Wait.. a food dryer??? We need one of these!"

[@bikesqump]

more honey do list material? she knows a woman can make one too... just sayin

[@vidiaramheerai2979]

What is the wire you used in the trays

[@miguelsalgado825]

Super creative, beautifully edited and perfect soundtrack to boot! To make it easier to lug around, you may want to throw a shoulder strap on it. Love the deployment/storage concept - well conceived and most of all: THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

[@TheEveryMaker]

I've been thinking of building a solar dehydrator, but this design is fantastic! Very similar to the design I have, but the fact that it's so portable and stores up nice and small is genius. Great job!

[@lisajoyphillips4873]

Your creativity knows no bounds. Love this one!

[@Pappy_R]

Every video when I see your new shop it makes me happy for you. Thanks for another kool video Laura!

[@alflurin]

That's really cool. My mother bought an electric one when we moved to Portugal. Apples, apricots and pineapples are really good. I might build one although I don't possess your fine carpentry skills so it will be, for sure, a lot more rough and badly assembled. Thanks for another great video. Cheers

[@ianstradian]

Nicely done! BTW She is so cute when she knows she’s done a great job.

[@greigotee8585]

great build, great workshop, great cinema photography, great soundtrack

[@MatureFister]

Dont understand how people can get upset with this premiere thingy. Its purely optional and beeing so negativ about such a stupid extra feature towards an actual skill full and creative content creator is just dumb

[@JerseyCWP]

I am new to your channel and I am becoming a fan of your work. I know that you have been told this a million times by now but, You are BAD ASS!

[@MarcosThunder]

That's awesome Laura, I've been wanting to make a dehydrator for a long time, I guess now I don't have any excuse! Great video! Love it!

[@michelevitarelli]

I am from San Jose, California. Your videos are my cup of tea. Thanks so much !!!

[@johnsperka2253]

Such a smooth design and execution- genius- thanks for sharing- you give me hope when it is in short supply

[@herzog2604]

How awesome is that! Again nice editing! Love the idea with the dubble hinges!

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Such brilliant problem solving and engineering Laura. We did a similar build for a solar water heater for a RV (it fails in the winter though).

[@Whats_Up_Chicken-Butt]

Giiiiiiiiiirl, you ARE SO TALENTED!!!! Plus you have a tool collection that would make any man (or woman) super jealous lol! Great job on this project, it looks and functions amazingly I'm sure!

[@eozen81]

Wow, this is an amazing idea and very compact. Congrats lady.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

i really liked the design, Thanks for the video, here in Arizona, we are about 105-115 during summer (40-47 Celsius), so everything dries FAST. when gluing with Titebond 2, our open time is about 10 seconds !! ( outdoors )

[@databanks]

Just a little mesh on the air intake and this is perfect for my climate (we have issues with flies, hence the mesh). Summer temps regularly hit 40C and above. Should keep the kangaroos in dried apples nicely

[@MichaelAlm]

I really like the doubles hinged door. Nice one Laura! 👍

[@josephpendergrass5211]

That a Girl! This look amazing! I love your creative with Science!

[@stefanschuler8861]

Suuuper Idee! Wenn ich irgendwann meine Werkstatt im Keller eingerichtet hab, werden ich mir das nochmal anschauen. Das wäre was für unseren Garten. Cool gemacht.

[@RobinGingerich]

DDC represented! Thanks Laura for another great idea

[@samaker4]

I love that lid design. Good job Lara!

[@nymanontwoeighteen7948]

This video is Mein favorite, thank you Laura Kampf

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Awesome, great idea and as usual your design and work are flawless.

[@linhhatien429]

I am from Viet Nam. Your videos are my cup of tea. Thanks so much !!!

[@jmakes3745]

I loved the faces you were making during the skillshare ad xD Seriously though, another great video Laura, you're insanely good at utilising space effectively - both in this and the van conversion!

[@howdoyoudoityourself]

very inspiring the solar oven of you, definitely go build it for the stuff that I grow in my kitchen thanks for the video

[@michaegi4717]

Very nice solution! This spring I build my second version of solar Dehydrator. I used a black painted aluminium plate so that the air can flow below and above the plate. This produce so much heat that you need a small fan. I use a 5V laptop fan powered by small solar cells. At clear days I usualy get just below 60°C... perfect temerature from my point of view.

[@felixmotanu1220]

could you describe more ?? just built mine and doesn't go more than 40* ... i'm sad because i'm not sure it's enough.thanks

[@JUANCA708]

Muy buen trababajo y excelente idea,la terminacion perfecta como siempre,saludos Laura.

[@michaelbrzesowsky]

Hallo Laura, Danke für ein weiteres super top Video. Das mit der gemeinsamen primäre finde ich auch super, habe es zwar verpasst und muss mal schauen wie ich da besser benachrichtigt werde, war aber bis eben noch selbst in der Werkstatt ein Projekt abschließen 😀 . Danke für deine Mühe und die kreativen Ideen. Dein Kanal ist einzigartig hier.

[@maleekanthony8652]

I love your videos they are intertaning, informative, and therapeutic

[@mikeoliver3254]

Great work. I love the variety if project you take on.

[@fe4000]

Amazing work, congrats!

[@williamjamesenkerwitz9495]

What a fantastic job and very precise i love from South Africa

[@moonolyth]

Was going to say overbuilt and Id save my time and work on cabinetry, but when the fold out system came up. Yes very nice built I'm no engineer work with many, but this is better than some, I build in wood metal glass bla bla. Very nice build... wished I planted food !!

[@charly92257]

So einfach und doch so genial. Ist gut geworden! 👍🏻

[@nnww14]

Nice tools and nice work.

[@andyfarmer759]

Great project Laura, Thanks for the inspiration.

[@choppersrule1]

What a great idea Laura works well i see. Have a great day Mark

[@w4447]

Nice Video. Really smart design too.

[@vaisnava]

That is an amazing design and awesome video. Thank you 🙏

[@taralynvonderlinden500]

Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work! Would love to see some of work from the skill share classes incorporated into your builds!

[@gregkieser1157]

Very clever Lara - super smart design.

[@derKarl_stp]

das Teil ist echt genial gebaut :) hoff du hast lange Freude und Spaß daran :D

[@mrtimmelton]

Very cool build

[@zjames1324]

awesome design and video!

[@bighornbackpacker3775]

Great work!!! What a solid video!

[@temssky13]

Brilliant!! This is what I needed to watch. And this is what u learn from the classes u talk about? Hmmmm..

[@EASYALEX]

wow Laura! Das ist ja Mega cool! 👍🏼 ich glaub ich Bau mir auch so ein Teil 😍 bestimmt auch toll für getrocknete Tomaten.

[@martindixon6264]

That is brilliant!!

[@TheCyborg100]

Excellent and very professional...

[@TheSteveAS]

Just bad-ass Laura, in every feature of the design. Was the slide-out solar shelves your own concept? Brilliant! Now I want to build one of these with my daughter. She loves your shop BTW (and her Dad is a bit jealous!).

[@christophlindwedel2968]

Cool Job Laura

[@Cookwithasha08]

Thanks for such a creative video and it help me a lot to increase my knowledge and skills

[@rosswaring2835]

How cool is that! Great job Laura.. you always surprise me with the simplicity of what you do...how long does it take to dehydrate the fruit that way?

[@rookiewoodshop]

Laura, you are extraordinary. 😎👍🏻

[@joshhibbs_nola]

AWESOME BUILD! 👍🏼

[@ZasaSaza34]

Perfect Laura 👍 🛠

[@pbu45]

coole idee. staune immer wieder über deine ideen!👍👍

[@stuartmartin3408]

Its a shame to see some negative and rather nasty comments on the use of the premier feature. Perhaps those complaining could engage their brain and realise there is no delay, you got the video when Laura was ready to make it live, only this time you got prior warning of the precise time and you could come and interact with Laura if you wanted too. What difference does it make to you if you get a premier announcement or the video just pops into your feed at 7pm? Not a bit....other than an excuse for internet malcontents to hammer on their keyboards! Laura...I loved the video and the premier idea was awesome, its nice to see you answer some questions about the build "in the moment" as it were. Thank you. :)

[@JBLewis]

Stuart Martin I'm not knocking that Laura used the premier feature, I kinda like it! I merely commented that at noon my time, instead of the video becoming available, it's listing just disappeared.

[@onetargetru]

Yeah! Exactly what I need right now. Now I can try to make dried tomatoes

[@jonathanhayward13]

Great workshop tutorial & your beautiful. No negativity here.

[@cac3w1n80]

Parabéns você e show e que belas idéias 👏👏👏👏

[@jpkalishek4586]

I had some odd bug where for the first couple of times I tried to view it I got just the skillshare portion. Now that I see it all, cool idea. It'd work great in my old place in Texas.

[@zarzr2161]

Me encantan tus ideas, soy muy fan tullo, saludos desde España Sevilla

[@yauboonhan]

Very nice!

[@waynemorgan1577]

great video !

[@viennavi]

Exact work. Lovely

[@Badgerworkshop]

I have never seen one like that before. Great idea.

[@dejanira2]

Great project

[@grandn8646]

You are so creative,cool, and sweet, if I was 20 years younger, I would come over to Germany just to meet and hang out with you.

[@kilowaverider]

Ueeeee I have been missing ur videos! Love it

[@albertocastro3569]

Sie sind die BESTE...Schöne Grüssen von Schweden

[@carlosalbertopiran1612]

Hola,Laura,muy lindo proyecto.👉👍👉👌👉👏👏👏👏

[@herrleonhardt7379]

was ist denn das für eine geile Idee!!!!

[@user-qb7xx4jw9v]

Прекрасное исполнение и очень интересное решение. Как раз для моего региона (летом до 36 по Цельсию в тени). Благодарю. Удачи!

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Joli travail bravo 🛠😉

[@rainerl-h259]

Schönes Projekt, gefällt mir. Ich würde vielleicht noch Fliegendraht vor die Lufteintritte machen, damit keine Insekten o.ä. reinfliegen / reinkrabbeln können.

[@allenwilson2395]

Thank you for sharing.

[@blizatrex]

this is great. It should work with making jerky also.

[@austinlawrence9743]

Very cool.

[@lucianoquerido5524]

I'm really sad I lost the premiere, but the project was amazing. I'm really impress because of the small time that it took you to make it! Impressive!! I was making plans to make a really small one for my wife to put on the window, glad to have some new ideas to try. Do you think you loose some heat in the gap between the solar "slides"?

[@TheWoodWerker]

Another Great Video Big L! Thanks for Sharing! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@markbryan9989]

Laura, you are a genius. Um, now can I have a slice of that apple? Great work.

[@MarioGonzalez-bo8yr]

Great design! What could one use to protect the wood? I think that it need to be food safe but I don't know what kind of material is used

[@Km.SiuLane007]

Woww you are amazing your prozona is wonderful I wish you where here in canada I definitely we will be hanging out !!!

[@rubencontreras4267]

Muy bello ingenió.

[@magicnik8881]

yey, that folding technique!

[@HandToolRescue]

This only showed up in my subscription feed before it went live and now it's gone. I had to search for it....interesting.

[@JBLewis]

I didn't see it again until it was a recommended video after another subscribed video.

[@luisgerena6649]

It hasn’t even show up on my sub feed yet. I found it on the recommended feed

[@Syberz]

Ditto for me, wth?

[@mr.frogman9939]

Same here

[@EdwardIglesias]

Same here.

[@sahrizvi1]

brilliant

[@StevenPitts]

Laura, wie geht's? There's no apostrophe in gets. 😉 Really awesome video.

[@PKSGPVA]

woooooooooooooooooooooooow wie zur hölle kommst du auf so ein design?! Klasse!

[@rafaelbazzo2604]

Você é genial...

[@fodilaissani7517]

Big up from ALGERIA👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@eddyyu7091]

Tasty !

[@kai-uweschierz638]

This is f*cking awsome...I like the store-away-sort-of-folding-function. Wünschte, ich hätte die Tools und das Wissen...

[@humanusdraco3491]

Cool, ich benutze noch Strom dafür. Habe jetzt nicht aufgepasst, sind das Farben, die Schadstofffrei sind?

[@jerrystark6766]

Sehr cool!
