So glad your dog is gonna be ok. 🙏

[@nriqueog]

TOOT your own horn. These two benches are heirloom pieces your children are going to love for the rest of their lives.

[@MrQuickLine]

I just wanted to affirm that you're making the right choice by not showing your kids' faces on the internet. I 100% respect that and genuinely think it's the best thing for your kids.

[@jimpad5608]

NEVER show your children's faces and when they get to middle school and high school don't show their bodies. There are far too many extremely cruel people on earth. If you want to understand this better talk to Casey Neistat and Candace Poole about what they went through with their two daughters.

[@CynButterfield]

@@jimpad5608 agree 100%

[@MagicBaking]

Completely agree

[@rrrosecarbinela]

Your daughters (and your wife!) are extremely lucky to have you. And I'm VERY happy to hear about Smudo. It was a pleasure watching you craft these two benches with so much love and care. They look great!

[@richardcooper]

Making furniture for loved ones from recycled wood, I love to see Laura in her Happy Place :) 12/10

[@albertqhumperdinck]

OMG! I knew I was concerned about Smudo and was emotionally invested in his recovery, but hearing your update about his condition, I did fully start crying just now sitting in front of my laptop. Like instantaneously, zero to sixty. What a huge relief! Sending love and good wishes to you and your family in 2025, from me, a total stranger on the internet.

[@Kadeee__b]

Me too! 🥲🥺

[@l.martin9282]

😊 Yay Smudo! ❤

[@patboyum105]

Think of all the experience that you have gained on previous projects to have the knowledge to even attempt the gorgeous benches you created that is masterpiece level . You could put those up for sale and they would easily sell. I think that you Need to create a web page under your company logo and start selling your one of a kind items or look for a production partner to help put your ideas out for mass production. Expessialy your tool ideas. You don't need to advertisese for them they will come to you once you post some of your items. Keep up the good work. Happy Smudo is free of the big C. Beautiful girls even without seeing their faces. You are right to protect them until they are old and responsible enough to make that decision themselves.

[@Sandy-D-555]

I am having massive tool jealousy with this one. It's lovely to see you creating again.

[@Kraigist]

The Banksy of benches is at it again. Amazing work!

[@laurakampf]

Hahaha!

[@starmax1000]

The Benchsy ;)

[@torravengael4490]

Every Sunday morning that Laura Kampf posts a video, I watch it with my father, who now only resides in my mind since he died. He taught me so many practical skills - carpentry, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, photography. Now I still watch these videos with him by my side.

[@Susan-l9d]

So glad to hear Smudo’s great news. What a relief 😂!

[@taralynvonderlinden500]

Besides that fact that you were wearing shorts in December, and not bundled up in a studio irgendwo in Köln , this is a classic Laura Kampf video that brought me to this channel. I like all you content, but nice to see your signature video style and projects 🤩

[@sharvo6]

That was my thought ... like she's really hitting her stride finally.

[@JayBane-n9l]

You should be very proud. You are a true artist.

[@deelirious]

I didn't realise I was wainting very badly for the "let glue dry". Yay for the classics. I believe that the pink tape with the "let glue dry"was one of the strong points for me subscribing to this channel ages ago.

[@missalign]

I've cried in this video more than I cried in any big movie in a while 😭 Thank you for this moment, Laura. Beautiful project, beautiful family 💜

[@sethaldrich7375]

I can't express how much joy it brings me to see you return to the wholesome content I fell in love with. I love what you've done with the house, and I miss Felix, but these beautiful benches, this is where you belong. ❤️

[@spookmineer]

I really like the "show instead of tell" style, like your older videos!

[@laurakampf]

Me too!

[@nicholas579]

So glad to see Smudo doing well. Also, your wife has just the kindest eyes Love your videos. Thank you!

[@jamescapodanno1861]

God bless you and Smudo,and your wife and child.You guys are the perfect family. I love you all.😍😍😍😍

[@quirkyqwerssie]

Your little girls are gonna know how much they are loved. Great project and the finish looks great.

[@veronicakalma5138]

I LOVE these benches! They’re sized perfectly, so the kids won’t outgrow them for years!! Bravo!!

[@daniedel6333]

Thank you for keeping the elegant and classy look of the headboards to make those benches!! They are simple, beautiful and elegant.

[@momphard]

Love to see you still working in metrics after your move. Spread the good word!

[@tracylamb903]

Wonderful news about Smudo. Those benches are fabulous. Can be handed down for generations!!!!

[@stumcconnel]

Great bit of upcycling! The way the back of that armrest piece snugged into the curve of the backrest was *chef's kiss*

[@pqrstsma2011]

12:26 much 💗💗 to Smudo and best wishes for a full speedy recovery!

[@floatinglotuswomenswellness]

I think you're entitled to a tiny "beep-beep" for such lovely work for your daughters! And such wonderful news about Smulo's condition - wishing the sweet boy a swift recovery too. Congrats on a great week.

[@bluefalconcatering]

That’s amazing that that he’s doing fine. We hope to see him soon.😊

[@lornahardin4563]

Sooo happy for Smudo, I was genuinely praying for his recovery. Cancer is so evil, we lost our furkids, Bandy and Eddie, 4 months apart to it. Your benches are amazing, I love to watch you create something.

[@jp5824]

I don't normally comment on videos but these are beautiful. And watching you build them for your family just warms the heart. Thank you. Schöne Grüße aus England.

[@philbarbato]

Great news about our boy Smudo! What a relief. The benches are adorable. I think the cushion depth looks nice and comfy. But us Americans like soft, squishy things. 😂

[@KristaLinford]

Love these little chairs. They are darling, just as are your daughters. Great idea!

[@CynButterfield]

Having a bad hour (I refuse to give bad a whole day, lols) watching this love filled and good news video helped me end that hour ❤

[@RivLoveshine]

I like that outlook. I should start saying this now. Bad does not deserve a whole day.

[@SaraSmiles29]

As All Times Low sang: " Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year", love that positve outlook!

[@suegreen8214]

Cover the foam with wadding before you put the final cover on, gives it “ softer “ lines, you can use spray adhesive as you did with the foam too Great news on Smudo! And your girls ( all 3) are adorable❤️

[@jimpad5608]

Absolutely beautiful furniture that the kids will pass on to their grandkids.

[@TonyBullard]

Man, I really loved the moments without the music. Just the sound of you quietly working in your shop... really peaceful.

[@TastyBusiness]

Once again, you took something discarded by others and made magic with it. Heal up fast, Smudo!

[@arajalali]

That news about your dog was like the absolute climax. I am so happy for you and for him. Happy New Year

[@SpaceShrimp]

yay, Smudo is saved !! I'm so glad for you and your growing family. Cheers Laura!

[@lindasteller]

I can see why you like doing designing and building rather than renovating. I had forgotten how satisfying it is to watch you make these wonderful things. Well done. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that Smudo is doing well. Dogs and cats have a big place in my heart, and I'm always so sad when they''re hurt. Give him some extra love from me.

[@hazelreece4201]

The benches are wonderful, such beautiful pieces. I am so pleased that smudo is doing well and doesn’t have to go through chemotherapy.

[@wingsofwrath4647]

I always enjoy a bit of stress-free woodworking from Laura. No house troubles, no insect infestation drama, just wood and precision.

[@vdgjolly]

Great news about Smudo! I am very glad that he is cancer free. Something else. When you are working on such projects, I got the impression that you are so calm and happy.

[@abhinavbharadwaj9755]

I never knew a video could be this wholesome

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Oh Laura, your benches are stunningly beautiful. You are such a true artist. I am weeping with joy to hear that Smudo is robustly healthy. So, so Good.

[@christopherdubour6662]

Those benches are… adorable! I love that you used the existing mortises. Give Smudo a hug for me.

[@littlefurnace]

Really happy to hear about Smudo ❤

[@robertberger8642]

Yea, Smudo!!!! Thanks for the hood news about his health, Laura! Those are fun benches. I hope your daughters love them and are able to pass them down to their own kids someday.

[@SusanHoucke]

What beautiful benches made with love❤️

[@Beruthiel45]

Oh, great news about Smudo! 🥹💕 As a 10 year survivor of grade three non Hodgkin's lymphoma, I'm so glad no chemo for your doggie. Yay! 🤗Your babies will so enjoy their own special benches, beautiful work, Laura. ☺️🩷🧡🇨🇦

[@thomphan9518]

So glad to see the furniture projects coming in, just like you said there would be. The projects for the kids are so much fun, and so glad to hear smudo is doing better

[@voneschenbachmusic]

I love the trash to treasure concept - it is great to see old useful stuff repurposed and living on!

[@kikisa6838]

Liebe Laura, so schön, was Du aus dem vermeintlichen "Sperrmüll" gemacht hast. Und zum Jahresende die wunderbare Nachricht, dass es Smudo wieder besser geht. Das freut mich so. Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie ein gutes und gesundes neues Jahr.

[@stephenpedrana5653]

I’m so happy for you and your family Smudo is so lucky to have you as his mum. Happy New Year and all the best wishes for the future.

[@kathym7495]

The benches are so beautiful! So very happy for the four of you, wishing all the blessings for you! Crying happy for Smudo. I lost my precious Chihuahua to cancer this past September.

[@ethanpschwartz]

Those are absolutely beautiful and compliment the space perfectly! AND Smoudeaux beat cancer? I've been sick and this video is just what I needed.

[@logtothebase2]

Really like this sort of save for old furniture, it has a new life!

[@The_Shiny_Red_Dingus_of_Mingus]

I'm glad to hear that Smudo is in the clear. You couldn't get get better news to start the new year with. As for the benches, the build & finish of them is enough for them to be heirloom pieces. If they are looked after, you may have several generations of little'uns enjoying them through the years.

[@CHy-ru8ql]

Das freut mich sehr, dass Smudo gesund ist! ❤ Die Bänke sind wunderschön! Das hätte sich das alte Bett sicher nicht träumen lassen, dass es nochmal ein neues Leben geschenkt bekommt. Und so wie das gebaut ist, werden es nochmal 100 Jahre. 😊

[@eduardofrances]

The benches are so cuuute! And super happy for you and Smudo🎉🎉 hoping he has a super speedy recovery❤

[@cathyfield4765]

Charming benches! Great news for Smudo, I lost a beloved pooch to cancer a yr. ago and one last week to fox terrier syndrome. It's so hard to lose a companion. I hope Smudo and you have many more years together.

[@Thewickedtruth89]

Lovely piece, I love seeing old furniture repurposed like this. Glad the pup's okay too

[@gayewells3558]

You promised us furniture and you are following through already! I absolutely love old, old wood and you blended old and new sooo beautifully. It's super to see you all in the new house - extra hugs and kisses to Smudo. You guys are going to have a wonderful year in 2025🎉

[@MChevalier13]

Your are a true artist. Thank you for sharing your gift. And, you have a beautiful family! ❤

[@danielwillits2173]

This is the Laura Kampf creativity I’ve been yearning for!! Sure house restoration vlogs are fun… but give me some brilliantly shot, no commentary, awesome music, visual only storytelling any day 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 What a beautiful result!! More please 😊

[@laurakampf]

Thanks for saying that! This is my favorite format too!!!

[@lovealwaysmom]

​@laurakampf Your family is very fortunate to have a loving, humble, and skilled craftsperson. Those benches are beautiful. Thank you for using joinery to honor the craftsmanship for which these headboards were made for. An idea for the old house (in Germany) A nod to your roots. Creating furniture from - street finds - construction remnants

[@marietjejansen]

so happy about Smudo. Sweet children and benches

[@SciPunk215]

What a great way to bring new life to the old "garbage'. These children will grow up, but this piece will last for another hundred years!! I predict more miniature furniture in the future of this channel.

[@maximflor]

Beautiful project. And you make everything look so easy and simple.

[@jessjobs]

Wow Laura, you smashed this project, totally the right call doing two adorable benches for the children ❤️ kudos to you

[@teensytinypanda]

Those. Benches. Are. GORGEOUS!

[@JohnLumpp]

I always learn so much from Laura … technique, style, vision & thinking outside the box. You make it look so easy.

[@sgsax]

This is such a sweet project. I like how you recreated the legs for the front. Glad to hear the good news about Smudo. Happy New Year and thanks for sharing!

[@holly5256]

Happy tears for Smudo!❤ Thank you for sharing Beautiful benches

[@thescaledraven5482]

Now for a table to match the benches. YAY, SMUDO!!!!!!!!! Thank GOD he is still rocking it, I love that little guy!

[@johngraham8278]

Laura - it's so cute seeing you build these furniture items for your wife and daughters. From one spouse/parent to another - keep killing it! Also - so happy to hear Smudo is doing well, can't wait to see him running around the shop again.

[@chuckbarthelme]

Love the benches! Perfect reuse for something that would otherwise have been thrown away. And yay Smudo!!!

[@NicolaSparks-vs6xg]

So great to see the furniture now making an appearance. I know you have waited a long time to be able to this! And fabulous news about Smudo xx

[@borisborggraefe7562]

Alles Gute für deine Familie und gute Besserung für denn Armen Hund! Und ein tolles 2025 mit viel Spaß 😊

[@jryaklin]

The benches turned out beautifully. I’m sure your little ones will love them…although the best part of the video is the great news about Smudo ❤️…wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!

[@niknoks6387]

I’m so glad Smudo is good. My son had to have his dog put to sleep yesterday. 😢❤️🏳️‍🌈🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@scottcates]

What a nice video. I get such a good feeling watching this unfold. Happiness, peace, calm, and love. Thank you, Laura.

[@samhenderson2947]

Like one of the old videos. Just lovely.

[@MarenMartschenko]

Beautiful little benches. And I love the parts ofthe video with the original crafting sounds. I like it even better than with music in the background.

[@AW_DIY_garage]

Those benches look SOO nice. Well done, they look like they will easily last another 100 years.

[@ChristopherAFrederick]

I am very happy to hear that Smudo is doing well!! Thanks for the update

[@linnetgood2449]

Beautifully made! And the best news about Smudo, who is still gorgeous; no doubt his scars will look cool soon. 🎉

[@whazee]

They are super cute little benches! 😊 And wonderful news about Smudo!!! 🎉 ❤

[@thiemofischer2230]

Amazing. I think the cushion matches the thickness of the wood. Next project: a soft face mallet to save your hands when assembling. amazing news for Smudo. I am so happy for you.

[@mariellecb1]

Such a wonderful transformation: from sleigh bed to sleigh bench x 2! Beautiful.

[@mariannesvensson3660]

Wow! Those benches will last a hundred more years 😍 And wow again for Smudo 😍

[@markdmaker3173]

What a beautiful project. A family heirloom to treasure. Beautifully done, bravo.

[@christopherdubour6662]

Let glue dry!! I forgot how much I loved that! It’s been a minute, no?

[@jimvandewalker3000]

This is the sweetest thing in the world.

[@lorimontcalm9086]

Thank you for the update on Smudo! Yahoo! The benches are adorable. I love how you don't show the kids' faces. Kudos on responsible parent vlogging. Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@workshop94]

Love to see the recycling of old materials! It came together really well! Glad to hear Smudo is getting better too ❤❤❤

[@jbcollins5781]

Good job Laura, i love it when you display your skill and creativity. Of course now they need a corner table and a lamp, so get to scrappin!

[@loubedouret8359]

Hi Laura I'm so happy to see how you manage to have great ideas of furniture, the result is as always so beautiful, and the images of you family enjoying it brings me happy tears each time. Last week I weeped when I heard the news for Smudo, now I'm so glad he is fine ! You are a great inspiration, not only as a maker who makes incredible things, but also as a human. So thrilled to see your postitivity, a queer family enjoying their life is everything I need. Thank you so much

[@carlpeters1938]

Cute project. Happy to hear you puppy is doing better. I love that you keep your kids faces private. So very happy for all of you.

[@treehuggingmusician595]

You have given new life to old wood and it is beautiful.

[@Druforithe]

Those look soo good! I love that you replicated the original joints. And yay for Smudo!

[@farmervic]

Nice work, Laura. Also - great news for Smudo! Very happy for you guys.

[@echoc7213]

I love those benches, and they'll last forever. I still have a small rocking chair my great-grandmother made by hand, and hope to pass that on to my kid someday. Also I'm so glad to hear that Smudo is doing well! I lost my best friend this past January to cancer, and it was so rough. So give Smudo some extra scritches from me!
