Vlog 016 - Commission Work

[@rickdearmont9950]

I cant speak for anyone else Laura, but I would love to see some of the projects you don't think have worked out.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, i will talk more about it in the future

[@WietsedeJong]

+Laura Kampf Yes please, Show your misstakes. We coul'd learn something from it. Tell us what you would do different..

[@jamiereader]

That would be fantastic. We already see and enjoy so much of your creative process, it would certainly be a welcome addition to see the stuff you're not happy with too - especially as you're likely to spark some encouragement from some of us who do still like those things.

[@repeataftermerestoration4179]

Great idea Rick !! You mean its not just me that makes mistakes and have project that i hate Ha ha ha !! cheers

[@Tappar1]

I totally agree with this, you never know what will resonate with people and I guarantee even if the end result isn't what you like people will find things in the process, I love watching people's journey even when it ends up in a 'dead end'

[@BeckyStern]

I feel ya on the scheduling, Laura! Love your insight and all your projects/videos.

[@Castle6064]

Beautiful Door. I commissioned a craftsmans many years ago to make a miniature door to display locking system and he made a balls of them, so hats off to you and respect.

[@laurakampf]

:) thanks, alan

[@gunteroberjatzas4352]

It's great to watch your videos. Don't worry about failed project - design is art and not all is loved. Thanks a lot.

[@jamesault6314]

I think it would be a good video of the projects that didn't work. It's a good learning experience for everyone. Thank you for working so hard and making amazing things.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

"Yeah I've never built a door before..." *goes off and makes a gorgeous piece of work first time*

[@kjellski]

I have to say Laura, I'm again impressed by how real you keep this channel, but let me explain: You've come up with a really original idea in your VLOGs "record of the week", at least it's original for me, beacause I haven't ever seen that until you did anywhere near woodworking. Also, you're really honest! In every VLOG, you seem to tell something really new and original. Not only new, but from your heart and thought provoking... I've never thought about the process you told us about in your VLOG #12. About how the making itself is really rewarding and the way is your goal. Or the VLOG #9, work life balance, I can only say YES! :) Also, as I learned in this video, you're just not so cheap to put it all out there! You're also true to yourself and you don't want to put something out you don't personally and really like. You have exceptional talent in "making" (woodworking, metalwork... as well as videography and composition) and I have mad respect for your work ethic and skillset, just so you know. P.S.: I've bought tickets for the Berlin maker Fair, hope to see you there... this time, not so drunk :D

[@laurakampf]

dude! thanks for your kind words!! i will make sure to buy you a beer on the maker faire:)

[@holzhandwerk_ak]

Thanks as always for the behind-the-scenes look. It’s always interesting to get that kind of insight, it gives context to the very refined project videos. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

[@laurakampf]

sure thing! :)

[@bradnaylor2241]

It's crazy how you manage to keep up with the videos and keep them awesome, so inspirational to young makers

[@laurakampf]

thanks, brad! feels good to know people appreciate and understand the workload!

[@philf4018]

Saw it at their IFA booth and recognized your logo. :) Great work!

[@laurakampf]

+PhilX Fowy oh cool!!!

[@hawkie333]

Wow, your bit of advice about being a maker is spot on. I've been making stuff, taking things apart, and creating little projects since I was 5 or 6. I can't explain it, but it's something I just HAVE to do.

[@laurakampf]

right on!

[@gregorythomas333]

That door is great! You do such good work! About the thumb nail...my mother had a toenail injured like that and it did fall off after a while...but it is already growing the replacement back so you should be ok in a few weeks or so :) Thank you so much for allowing all of us to be apart of your life! You have great talent and I consider it a privilege to be a witness to it!

[@laurakampf]

thanks you so much for your kind words!! it´s great to know all my hard work is appreciated!

[@tiffanyjohnson3110]

I really enjoy these kind of videos from you. They're more personable & inspiring. Nobody is perfect & we all make mistakes, which is a learning process. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd love to see the projects that dont work out as planned & what could of been done. It might just teach us, the viewers, how to go about our mistakes. You're a wonderful person & maker & your words are very encouraging. Hope you have a great weekend! 😁

[@BradleyMakesThings]

That door looks great! As always loving what you do! Can't wait for the door video.

[@laurakampf]

it´s out now :)

[@lylekobberstad8571]

That was great advice for the beginning maker. I get very anxious when I can't get out in the shop and even worse if I have an idea/inspiration and don't have the funds to do it. Best wishes to you.

[@repeataftermerestoration4179]

Well Laura , you have now discovered another hidden talent , The door looks amazing , i think you could make little cubby houses for children to play in , or homes for expensive dolls to be displayed in ... By the way the thumb looks great , just paint the other 9 black and they will all match ... Great work as always !!

[@laurakampf]

i actually wanna build a dollhouse for my brothers kid...she is a bit too young still but i will start with that soon

[@allanandkilde8383]

great project indeed. I have worked with many wireless alarm systems. ITI from Minnesota USA comes to mind. Great T shirt that you look fabulous in.can hardly wait to see more. Thanks. By The way the door looks terrific.

[@JunkPileOMatic]

I've done the whole drill through the thumb tip before . Those darn Phillips head screws !!! Heal well . Peace to you.

[@Slugsie1]

I'd really like to see more of the projects that 'fail'. You can often learn at least as much by what doesn't work as what does. The techniques you use are often very informative, so will be worth seeing.

[@laurakampf]

interesting, i think i will make this a regular topic in my vlogs then. a fail-section

[@LukeDorny]

Cool. Have thoroughly enjoyed elgato products over the years. Nice work on das Tor for them. Great choice of record.

[@lanedouglas2165]

Take a tiny little twist drill, about .030 or so, drill a few holes in nail, just down to skin level, it will help new nail to grow in underneath. Paint it if you grow tired of black color, I think it looks fine!

[@pilchard2000]

great blog laura , thanks .Really loved the tiny door.xx

[@laurakampf]

thanks, rodney!

[@shirtasylum]

Thanks for doing your videos. I'm a couple weeks away from launching my channel and your videos are inspiring. Specifically one of your vlogs where you said that KZbin is more of an online portfolio. It helped me to see things a bit differently when shooting my videos. Thanks again

[@danthemakerman]

Thumbs up for the awesome T-shirt! Someone once told me they learn more from their failures than they ever do from their successes. The great thing about KZbin is that I can learn from others failures. You didn't ask but I say you show some of the projects you don't like it could be helpful to others and you might be surprised what others think of your "failed" projects. In the end you have created something from nothing why not share?

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

Did the same thing to my thumb a few years ago. I was using square drive so not really any excuse. John Heinz did a time lapse of his thumb by taking screen shots from videos over many months. I like the idea of painting your other nails to match. Could start a fashion trend!

[@jamiereader]

Glad to hear the thumb isn't hurting now. It's certainly an impressive blood blister! Coincidentally, after doing something similar (just damaging the work rather than myself) I ended up switching to Torx screws instead. If I have to use Philips/Pozidrive now, I make sure I'm using a Wera bit in my drill as they seem to last longer for me.

[@laurakampf]

wera is my go to brand as well! love the wrenches. i use spax phillips head because i don´t like switching between torx bits all the time. but quality screws won´t let the bit slip

[@jamiereader]

That's a very fair point, I've been using Torxfast mostly for the same reason. I love the Wera joker wrenches! Have you seen the advent calendar they do every year?

[@kortt]

I bet lots of people would like the projects you didn't like. I hope you will do a video about them. Love the little door!

[@laurakampf]

after getting so much positive feedback for showing my fails, i think i will talk about that more often in my vlogs! i might make a wall of fail in my shop :)

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

+Laura Kampf Call it the wall of learning!

[@Don.Challenger]

Wall of trials. Much to be said for showing your projects some failures are dislike but that is a personal preference someone else may think it beautiful, some failures are a contrivance that just doesn't function right that may be a design issue and so on. Many of these are valuable both to make and to show. Of course a much longer discussion should be here, that can unwind in the future. Very good vlog issue this week. Thanks Laura.

[@DerMitbewohner]

durchhalten! .. du machst das großartig! .. ich bin sooo beeindruckt von deinem gesamten konzept, der umsetzung und nich zuletzt von deiner begeisterung mit der du die dinge präsentierst .. :)

[@laurakampf]

danke, andi! das ist schön zu hören!!!

[@JMTosses]

Oh no! This is such a cute door! Incredible - cannot wait to see the build video! You sure did crack me up by the way you showed how much you disliked your mahaghoni-copper lamp. Your body language was almost explicit ;) Great Vlog again. Keep doing that - you're great. Cheers!

[@laurakampf]

haha...yeah, man i really hate it :)

[@sebastianmeyer4345]

Hey Laura! Just another thumb comment. From my experience the thumb becomes very sensitive as the old nail comes off and the new one isnt fully grown. I used super glue to glue the old nail to the "nagelbett" (too lazy to look that one up) because it was still partly attached. Used a nailfile to smooth everything out. Repeat the process after a week as it keeps growing out. Helped me tremendously. Keep up the good work. Gruß aus Münster

[@laurakampf]

great tip! sounds like a plan :) thanks sebastian!

[@emo65170.]

I'd be interested in a video tour of various tools in your shop, especially of the jointer/planer combo unit and of what looks like a sliding table saw. I've not seen a table saw like that here in the states.

[@laurakampf]

+Ed Morales i talked about the tablesaw in my old-shop-tour. i will do abother tool talk when i find the time :)

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Waiting for the door video! :) you know sometimes you finish something and then turns out you don't like it. Maybe it didn't go as you were expecting or you just don't agree with the client's taste, etc. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't make it into a video. You can always explain what and why you don't like and it will for sure be a learning experience for the viewer as well :)

[@laurakampf]

yeah, you are right...but i can´t get myself to do it. i don´t want nothing to do with that lamp haha

[@krtwood]

The worst part of putting out a video of a project you don't like is when it performs better than the ones you really like. Which is pretty much what always happens. But sometimes somebody says something that makes you look at it in a different way and you start to like it more.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

hahah nothing worse than people liking something you hate :D

[@td3pnt]

I watched the small door video first! I was trying to figure out why you were making it?? Then I watch this video and it all made sense! I'm glad you are getting some work and sponsorships! Thanks for the videos!

[@laurakampf]

+td3pnt thanks! this was a pretty fantastic collaboration. if every client was as easy going as elgato and rockler-i would do commissionwork all the time :)

[@AMDonaghey]

As an ex cabinetmaker from Ireland, I really love your vlog. So wish I had a small workshop, so I could make stuff to my harts content. Keep it up, great work

[@Nono-hk3is]

I totally agree. it's so important to maintain discipline, but also forgive yourself when you diverge from it.

[@Makerside]

6:38 - the best moment of this video. Thank you, Laura!

[@laurakampf]

:) cheers!

[@_MacGuffin_]

Mahlzeit, um die Lampe bei 4:22 zu retten könntest du den Kupfer/Messing Korpus mattschwarz lackieren, dann Löcher in der Anordnung von Sternenbildformationen (kleiner Wagen/großer Wagen etc.) hinein bohren und dann die Löcher durch kratzen verbinden so, dass das Kupfer wieder durchscheint.

[@sprsquish]

Phenomena is one of my all time favorites! Such a great song.

[@laurakampf]

agree 100 percent!

[@scottie1769]

Congrats on the commission. The door looks great. Was wondering what the story was behind your thumb nail. Great vlog, thanx for sharing.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, scott!

[@r.s.creations4246]

Hey Laura, of it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing. Keep up the good work. Seeing some of the failures occasionally would be interesting too.

[@robertevans6481]

Great update/shop talk. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Still if you ever do get a chance to make it to the states would like to meet you at a meet up. Anyway have s great week.

[@laurakampf]

i am working on it and i am sure it will happen within the next 12 months...i will keep you posted

[@cosmicrayastrophysics7839]

Maybe for the stuff you don't like, you could ask for feedback on possible ways to improve it and if you like one, try the suggestion. My thumb nail came off when I cut through my thumb bone with a table saw while clearing firewood in one of the most stupid inattention things I have ever done. But it has regrown after plastic surgeons repaired the bone, so I think the odds on your thumb recovering are good. PS we are measured on what we give, not what events prevent us from doing. You give a lot.

[@kraftybeard4272]

We all have projects that we don't like or didn't quite turn out right, they might be disappointing but I think its part of the learning process. Would be cool to see some more and your thoughts on them, I'm sure they are still great :)

[@nicolasboulic5166]

A few years ago when I was a teenager I was hitchhiking and picked up by one of the neighours, so the woman who picked me up told me a bit about her life. It appeared she was an au-pair at Karen O's home when the YYY's singer was a little girl, I was really surprised and pleased to know that, all the more so as Show Your Bones was one of the records I listened to the most at this time :) this story still makes me smile today :p

[@laurakampf]

no way! that is soo cool :)

[@judge9amr]

love your record collection!!! Gold Lion is the best song ever!!!!

[@Bobby-bo3zc]

Finally got the story out behind the thumbnail. You are the coolest! Nail or no nail. : )

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Love your videos. Schedules are good but sometimes things just happen. Try not to let it get you down. I made a specialty table that turned out great but the video was not great so I did not show it on KZbin. Did you ever one of those projects?

[@carlperesini]

I won't miss the video, keep making!!!

[@laurakampf]

sweet!

[@mprice7676]

Like you, simply beautiful! Great job, but I can't help but mention that I think the little sensor goes on the door, and the other (larger counterpart) is mounted on the frame. Not a huge deal, but a lot less noticeable on a real door when it only has the smaller sensor mounted on it. Thanks for your contribution to the maker world!!! I appreciate the time you put into showing us what you do.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, mark!

[@JustinLevine]

Thanks for answering my question! I hope you can make it out to the Bay area Maker Fair next year. Im a huge fan

[@laurakampf]

thanks for participating in the Q and A :) so i see you there next year!

[@davewilliams355]

Great honesty, I would love to see all the projects good and bod because I make mistakes and sometimes KZbin looks like perfect people only...

[@laurakampf]

interesting, i didn´t know so many people were interested in the fails...i might make this a regular topic of my vlogs :)

[@davewilliams355]

+Laura Kampf it's a good inspiration knowing that even really good makers make mistakes. Good to learn from them

[@johnharvey5412]

When you show us something, my mind automatically fills in "let me show you its features!" :)

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@jamiereader]

Now that would be an awesome collaboration!

[@paulodriscoll7262]

Don't worry about missing a video. ...absence makes the heart grow fonder.

[@GibClark]

Great ! Sweet shirt ! what ever you can post is appreciated!

[@laurakampf]

thanks man!

[@TheWoodWerker]

Another great video Big L!... Very "Humble- Like"....Kinda "Behind the scenes" vibe. Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@laurakampf]

you too thanks, gus!

[@Shopbuilt]

I feel your pain, KZbin consumes a lot of time.

[@laurakampf]

oh yes! but it´s worth it :)

[@maxhaynes677]

I really enjoy your videos and it's nice to see a woman making as you don't find that often. Your really good at it. Keep going!

[@laurakampf]

thank you!

[@lisakarabatsos8470]

Girl! Love love love the Texas shirt! You should come to Texas. But wait for cooler weather!!

[@laurakampf]

yeah, april said it was crazy hot right now...i think i will wait a bit with my visit then :)

[@lisakarabatsos8470]

sent you a facebook messenger note. check it out when you get a chance.

[@keeskees8839]

Hi Laura, I consider a project that does not meet your idea, not a failure. I honestly think you should show these as well. Nobody is perfect and a genuin maker, makes projects that do not meet the wanted result....... Keep going....

[@laurakampf]

yeah, i will talk about the failed projects more often

[@TexasKid747]

love that April gave you that Texas shirt… she's my neighbor, 40 miles away. 😀

[@laurakampf]

sweet

[@azyfloof]

I shut (read _slammed_) my thumb in a car door once, and it ended up looking like yours ;( The nail bed basically died, and a NEW nail started growing underneath! It started pushing the old nail off, which was all kinds of freaky :( Staff safe, silly! I know what you mean about the cheap ass screws :( Regarding that lamp, if I was gonna combine something like copper with a wood, I'd do it in inlaid bands, kind of like when you made Lucille. Cut random grooves into the wood, lay copper bands in at different directions, glue it in place, then cut another groove. perhaps even a Celtic knot design :D

[@laurakampf]

sounds like a cool project! send me a pic if you like. also that new thumbnail under the old one-thing is what seems to be happening with my nail, too :) makes me feel like a mutant haha

[@MakeThangs]

Hey Laura! Just a note from your doppelganger to say I'm still watching and loving your videos and would have been commenting on all of them if I wasn't super busy with work at the moment, haha. I love that album and have it on vinyl too, about to put it on because I've been thrashing Lykke Li and if I listen to it one more time I'm going to ruin it for myself... Keep up the great work!

[@laurakampf]

cool to hear you got lots to do. will you make another video someday? i sure hope so! love lykke li too haha! we really are doppelgangers

[@MakeThangs]

Yup I'll make more videos when my job is done! I work in the film industry so technically I AM making a video, it's just a REALLY BIG video, it's not mine, and if I put anything I'm doing on youtube I'll get fired, HA! We are totally doppelgangers - I've had a weed whacker leaning on a bike in my workshop for MONTHS...just waiting... hahahahaha

[@reforzar]

Search your destination on google and you can find good flight prices. It's all about timing in booking flights for the best price. Keep up the great work. I say keep your schedule for yourself but if you don't meet it because of a goof don't worry about it too much. We enjoy seeing your content whenever you put it out. I've smashed my finger nails a few times, these days I use Spax screws with the torx head. Much much better screws. Keep it up!

[@laurakampf]

spax are the best! thanks brian!

[@KaiCrafted]

Gnarly fingernail! I hit myself with a hammer once (and only once) and the black mark took months to grow out. I'd really like to see you take another try at that lamp, maybe you could walk us through how you fixed the things you didn't like.

[@tom5256]

I really like the shirt I should have known it was from April :) She is also one of my favorite KZbinrs you both are great inspiration to young girls showing them that if you want to do something then do it. That you can be both "girly" and make stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@Hazwo]

Du bist eine echte Inspiration

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Cool words...very helpfull!!

[@GetSquarewTomJolley]

I like watching you video's for the build process more than the finished project. If you can start over and do something you like better, then go for it... but if you can't maybe post one of your videos you don't like the final product. I tend to be a perfectionist and harder on my own work then I should be. I would guess you are similar. You do good work, you are one of my favorite KZbin creators.

[@laurakampf]

wow, thanks!

[@craigleemehan]

Your nail is a badge of your hard work. It looks fine to me.

[@laurakampf]

i kinda like it too :) reminds me of the great time we had on the festival :)

[@brendanhay5788]

Based on the thumbnail I thought the record cover was the commissioned work. Nice job on the tiny door.

[@laurakampf]

i would be super proud if i designed that cover -it´s awesome :)

[@express375]

Yes the black thumb nail is starting to look gross. I was gonna say,you can stick a red hot needle through it to release the pressure,but i guess you did that at the same time as making it. I have a thing I call the unfinished coin mountain,if an engraving goes on to long,they get abandoned.I always thought i would go back to them,but never do. Keep up the good work:)

[@richardnoble7170]

you should do an OOOPs project video series. Many will enjoy the process even if the project fails.

[@laurakampf]

will do in my future vlogs

[@rob_boss]

did the same thing to my thumb...a new nail will grow out under it, i peeled off the old one as it started to flake lol...sped up the process, got rid of the black, dried up blood.

[@laurakampf]

uuughh, not sure if i can do that :)

[@bluebat0714]

Also, life just gets in the way sometimes when trying to do a project. Love me some Karen O.

[@benturtle]

Think of it as a "donation" then. I just love your style. From work to music. I'd be honored to own it but I won't continue to bug you about something you don't feel comfortable with. Thanx for the videos

[@laurakampf]

oh sorry...i misunderstood that comment...i didn´t realize it was the answer to my "where do you live" question :) i think i´d rather sell something that i am happy with, you know. thanks for the support!

[@Wawwy]

Please please please show the failures. They reinforce your humanity. Plus, I would love to see that lamp. It looks an awful lot like a handgun shell casing.

[@simplediyr]

I believe those failed projects would still be great content. For me and I'm sure for many others, it's not the project itself I look at, it's the technique I look for and want to learn from. Plus even though you don't like it, others may like it. Here's a suggestion. Since they are finished, go ahead and publish them but add a narration of some sorts telling us why you think it failed and why you don't like it. Anyway, best of luck.

[@laurakampf]

you might be right...but i am super critical of my work. if i publish a video i make sure i am happy with the content and that i can stand behind the project. so i rather start fresh than invest more time (editing) in something that i am not happy with. you know?

[@PasiSavolainen]

I can see that your production is much more about the actual successes than "learning experience", but that latter one is a huge part. It would be intensely interesting to hear you talk about why you'd think that a piece is not a success you'd be interested in showing (ie. your criterias for esthetically pleasing/interesting/oddly satisfying creation). I didn't even think before how extremely hard it is to have a weekly schedule of successes to show people.

[@simplediyr]

+Laura Kampf yup, totally get it. I'm the same way. And I also have finished projects that I hate. It's hard to put time into something like that, but I'm going to try just because of the value of the techniques and as Pasi mentioned below, it would be interesting to know why we didn't like it. Maybe you can not make an entire build video and just use it for a vlog and talk about it. Anyway, I'm a fan so anything you do I will support all the way ;-)

[@simplediyr]

+Pasi Savolainen yeah it's very hard to keep up with a schedule. Which is why I do mine in seasons. I record all my projects in advance, edit them and release them every week. While those are going I'll be working on the projects for the next season. So much easier I found.

[@laurakampf]

thank you! i get a lot of good feedback for the fail...i will talk about that in my future vlog more often i think

[@simideelite001]

So how it goes with a creative mind! : )

[@TheMarcball]

Hot dam, cool tshirt, "Everything is bigger and better in Texas" ! yeeha (I lived in Houston for 4 years, loved it... as for these rotten finished projects, that sucks... but I'd make a video out of it too if I were you. There is inspirational value in the relatability of seeing someone else (especially a talented role model) end up bumping into a project fail, i would say. Anyway, up to you, and keep on trucking !

[@laurakampf]

you are absolutly right, and after getting so much feedback i decided to make this a regular segment of my vlog :)

[@sunnysunnysunny3186]

love your type of creative work :)

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@simideelite001]

Love your Channel, Laura! My Bubba Too! Woof! Woof! : )

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@mechadrake]

had nails on my toes black like that. there was a new nail ready to use under the black one when that fell off.

[@luispozas6191]

Inspiring video, THANKS!!

[@laurakampf]

thank you for watching

[@guitarMonke]

Not that it sounds like you need more work, but I think it would be interesting if you set one camera that would film a time lapse of your filming and making project and then release that as a behind the scene look at how much time and work goes into filming one of these videos. Love the film editing in your videos.

[@laurakampf]

cool idea! maybe just a go pro to show an overview...thanks, i might do that one day :)

[@ArchieRoques]

Thanks for answering my questions! That thumb looks painful. I smashed an electric screwdriver into the side of my finger recently. Painful, but I wasn't really using the tool right so I guess I deserved it! Keep making great videos :)

[@laurakampf]

aaaah, that sounds horrible!

[@ArchieRoques]

+Laura Kampf It was a bit, but the end was blunt. Not sure if that's good or bad really! It could have gone a lot worse - I managed to miss the nail..

[@frasersshop9487]

im new to your channel and im in love with the channel your shop looks beautiful

[@laurakampf]

fantastic! thanks!

[@frasersshop9487]

+Laura Kampf i was on the fence about buying a festool circular saw till i saw those bed side tables

[@tooljunkie555]

thats eef sensor for the door is pretty sweet..i need something like that to keep my 15 yr old from sneaking out. lol

[@laurakampf]

haha! i am glad my parents didn´t have that when i was a kid :)

[@tooljunkie555]

Laura Kampf right. Lol..now a days van never be too careful #ilovethe70s

[@rippermcguinn]

Regarding your thumbnail - our scars are the barometer of our success!

[@laurakampf]

agree :)

[@57hound]

It can be difficult to show failed work, but there may be some value in it. What if you were to re-edit the video, and talk about what you were trying to achieve, what you like and what you don't like, where you think it went wrong, what you might do differently, etc. it could end up being a really successful video of a not so successful project.

[@mensgoodies]

Hey Laura, please, please mark that video with a new title. All those informations about the process of your work - and the time consuming intensity as well - are too important for your channel! Great vlog, I love it.!

[@Impuritan1]

I love the song "Maps" by them. And I say that as a diehard metal fan.

[@laurakampf]

+odd766 👍⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@lin3310066]

Once someone slammed the door and hit my finger and it hurts like hell . My finger looked just like yours . it was all black but it started to grow outward and the new nail that is growing looks fine .it took me about a year to grow back my new nail and the black broken nail is all gone .

[@laurakampf]

oh wow, i guess there will be a lot of disgusting nail scenes in my next videos then haha

[@RaphaelLeite]

Laura, hello from Brazil! Please, create a second channel, than upload there the projects that doesn´t work. Also you can upload the behind the scenes etc. Thanks for the awsome work and the realy good videos!

[@laurakampf]

if only i had more time...

[@norm1124]

Thanks for your extensive answer about the pace. The fact that you abort projects make it even more respectable. norm1124 aka OliC

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Texas pride!

[@laurakampf]

yes yes y´all

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

I'd like to see even the projects you didn't like, I think it's a good way to learn from the perceived failures of the creator. 🤓

[@laurakampf]
