Big Thanks to Weaver Leather for supporting my work and sponsoring this project!! check them out here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/
i wanted a rimowa carry-on for a long time but they are simply too expensive. so i went online and bought an old Tropicana Case made for Cameras. The Tropicana line has been discontinued years ago but they are easy to find used. best thing about them is that they are waterproof!
so i spent a week in the shop turning this 50 Euro Camera case into a super sweet looking carry-on suitcase.
let me know what you think in the comments.

"The object owns you." Perfect description.

@jamiecoates377 3 года назад

I bought a Louis Vuitton keepall a couple of years ago, I always wanted one and I was in a position where I could afford one. I must have been away a couple dozen times since getting and every time I’m too scared to use it! So very much, that bag owns me!

I have been watching for a while and I am seriously impressed. This is my favorite project by faaaaarrr. Leatherwork, woodwork, some metalwork, super-practical and a great anti-consumerism message and statement on wheels, love it. Congrats Laura.

thank you!! i enjoyed it for the same reasons

@janicel.johnson1683 2 года назад

I think you're one of those creative genius types that can LOOK at something and either re-create or improve it...amazing!

@johilpert9149 3 года назад

I totally understand what you mean. My power tools are sewing machine and an iron I get a satisfied feeling when I create something rather than paying lots of money for it. I love watching you work with power tools and recycled materials. Thank you for sharing.

@SuperMarge123 3 года назад

So gifted, so clever. Total respect. No money can buy that case. You have turned one case into a priceless, precious work of art. You create the most beautiful defects I have ever seen. Admiration, respect. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.

@BHiemisch 3 года назад

Am meisten berührt es mich, wenn ich in Deinen Augen Deine Freude und Deinen Stolz auf das Geschaffene sehen kann. Du machst so tolle Dinge, ich finde Dich einfach super. Alles Gute noch für das neue Jahr 🍀 . What touches me the most is when I can see in your eyes your joy and pride in what you have created. You do such great things, I think you are just great. All the best for the new year 🍀

@joevalbuena 3 года назад

I must agree with you. There is something very special about making or modifying something with your own hands. I appreciate you sharing your projects.

@thebigoaktree8401 Год назад

Laura makes everything better, including me. This is therapy man.

@franktartan6808 3 года назад

I totally get your idea about if you made it it is more yours. I grew up building boats, houses, docks, fixing cars, fixing everything. People never appreciate something that they bought as much as something that they make. When something is bought it is just money. When you make it is a piece of your life! Love your videos. (usa)

@AstridGrover 3 года назад

"If u put some work into an object and really make it your own, it's more yours.." EXACTLY! 100% makes sense.

@michald2719 3 года назад

You make the best movies of all Makers. Not only because you have great ideas, but also because they're so great: perfect shots and music. I am waiting impatiently for them.

@dansummers2965 3 года назад

As an occasional leatherworker, respect for jumping straight into wet-moulding as a first leatherworking process. It's not easy, but the results are awesome, as we see here :)

@heckster8017 3 года назад

Hello from Arizona! I have been on lock down since last March due to cancer treatment and the highlight of my week is watching your videos on Sunday. Keep doing what you do as it opens my mind to what I am capable of creating and inspires me toward a better life in the future.

@angusmclaren6257 3 года назад

Mad respect for awesome skills. You keep surprising me with just how cool your builds are. Keep them coming and keep being awesome.

@markkoons7488 3 года назад

You are exactly right about making a thing your own. If a nice recently manufactured hand tool comes your way, say a Lie-Nielsen plane, whether new or a lightly battered estate sale find, and you disassemble, clean and adjust it, sharpen it perfectly, lightly break too crisp edges, strip the lacquer from the wood, work in a couple drops of tung oil, and expose it to your shop's ambient conditions, you'll find that in five year's time it will be much more your own than another example wiped clean between uses and stored in its plastic bag inside its original box.

@michaelsizersanctuaryfenci1614 3 года назад

I admire your ingenuity and your re-use philosophy so much. You don't need to use body parts taken from animals without their consent. You're above that imho.

@Nomadboatbuilding 3 года назад

Love you trick with the lifting strap. Super clever. Old traditional wooden fish boats in my area use a similar system for lifting windows that open by dropping into a cavity in the house sides.

@planbuildbodgerepeat5103 3 года назад

I know exactly how you feel. We bought a house that we thought needed a little love and it turned out to ned a lot more work than we expected. But when we walk in there it feels so much more a home than anywhere I've ever lived because we've put so much of ourselves into the walls.

@oliverbrunt1 3 года назад

I think this has to be one of the best projects ever. So so simple but so clever and stunning.

@therealchayd 3 года назад

Absolutely brilliant, and worth more in my eyes than a mass produced (even if it is more expensive) off-the-shelf item. It's like when people buy a stock factory motor home that's all bland and plastic, yet costs over five times more than a lovingly self- built vehicle using natural materials that fits its owners needs 100%, and looks nicer too.

@Norm7264 3 года назад

Smudo has a friend (besides Laura)! They look very happy together.

@felixdressler8131 Год назад

Laura, I just discovered your channel today by accident. I've been watching all day. So much to say but simply put, YOU ARE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE! THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU. I can identify with your experiences & perspective in so many ways. I've subscribed for all that your "University" has to offer. Thank you.

@jarredbeacraft5287 3 года назад

What you said about you putting your time and it feeling more like your then just buying it. Is a 100% true statement that in my eyes more people should consider in today's world

@cherylmartin4050 3 года назад

The leather work was exciting to watch. Great job on repurposing, i love how you do it

@kathharper 3 года назад

Love the reuse and recycling you do Laura! Making your own is so gratifying and what a great job you did on this! I love celebrating the "defects" as well.

@adapa22 3 года назад

Not only you feel your things more of your own when you make them but more than that you feel proud when you recycle or up cycle ! Excellent job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@MohammadWassef Год назад

TOTALLY RIGHT , buying new expensive stuff makes it hard to do anything with it , always worried , trying to maintain the object rather than enjoying it .

@alasdairmackenzie515 3 года назад

@1UkuleleDude 3 года назад

What an awesome project! Wood working, leather work, machining, metal work and pure creativity! I'm in awe of your ability to see these things. Really admire the skills and thought process involved!

@stefanp9904 3 года назад

Hey Laura, you're right. When I build up things myself then it is not necessary how much the project has cost but I really take so much care to keep it well. Building something with your own hands gives you a connection to it.

@underablackflag 3 года назад

I could not agree more with what you said about expensive things you buy owning you.

@kyleg3588 3 года назад

That leather pouch turned out so good! I don't think I've ever seen a piece that thick before.

@philplasma 3 года назад

Yes, I totally understand that when you make something yourself, it more belongs to you than something you buy for yourself. I think it would be interesting for you to show us someday how it is you manage to find so much and so many things that you are able to re-use or re-purpose.

@wandawas2 3 года назад

You are an amazing person!!! Molding of the leather, I needed to see that today. You have taught me so many techniques that I can incorporate into my life. You are my creator of the Year. Namaste.

@KCTheGreenMan 3 года назад

Another great repurposing project! I really like the use of the strap to help lift up & secure the item in the side pocket. I will surely remember that on my next tablet case. Thanks for being you and sharing your Passion.

@deekrimmel7522 3 года назад

Makes Perfect sense! Why pay to advertise for someone else when you can better your own skills, push yourself and discover new truths about your talents and advertise YOURSELF! Never been a name brand girl myself, except for my Converse, but even those I buy used and because they are truly comfortable. Thanks for sharing your talents and skills. Resect the Defects, mistakes show you learned something!

Recycling/Upcycling is one of the best ways to get us out of this throw away / wasteful way of living. Excellent design. Loving the strap that not only holds the iPad in place, but lifts it out too. Great job Laura, really looking forward to what you have in store for the rest of 2021.
