Last week I started building a center console for my van. This week I built the cupholders and some additional cool features.
This project I possibly my favorite of 2021!

I was loving the entire build but when the flex lamp showed up I grinned like a fool. So dang handy and lovely!

@supervanten 2 года назад

It's inspiring when a maker has such a strong visual style that it comes across no matter the project. Everything Laura makes, even the most functional stuff looks distinctly Laura Kampf, and it makes me want to focus more on putting a personal touch on the thing I make myself.

@laurakampf 2 года назад

That is the best compliment ever!!

She has a consistent material palette (brass, steel, recycled wood) and she always goes the extra mile to make things look nice. All of her projects are visually appealing and functional, and it makes for a rewarding end product. I hope one day my projects will end up half as refined lol

@Coloneljesus 2 года назад

I agree. Another maker whose works are instantly recognizable is Uri Tuchman. You should check him out.

Super Mittelkonsole!❤️ So eine fehlt Joel noch in seinem Camper.😎

I watch so many creator channels on RU-vid: Diresta, April Wilkerson, Ben Uyeda, Modern Builds, Make Something, Izzy Swan, and a hundred others (and I love them all), but Laura's artistry and aesthetic sense-and OMG, the production/editing skills!-are just miles ahead of everyone else. Laura, we appreciate your hard work so much!

@leifhietala8074 2 года назад

You could expand on the phone holder's utility by routing a recess into the back of the top deck, and install a wireless charging pad. Wire it into the 12v and the whole time your phone is in the cradle, it's getting topped up.

@taylorseigler 2 года назад

I bet that's what the notch out of the bottom is for, to run a charging cable to the port.

@atothezeezee 2 года назад

Great idea.

It's right!

You put a smile on ALL of our faces out here watching you design and create! Thank you for sharing your incredible skills! Your editing is also second to none! You're now our favorite You tube channel!!! ❤

Volt meter, phone holder, cup holders, and a storage bin, and not to forget that awesome map light! This is so many useful features packed into one, it really heightens the quality of life I'm sure.

@newtonsantos_photo963 2 года назад

More than solving problems, I would say bringing joy to our daily needs !!! Congrats for another piece of art 👏🍻

@jonathanballesteros3327 2 года назад

I don’t press subscribe very often…but the joy radiating from this project makes it way too easy! I’m an inventor…when I’m not inventing, I’m watching bad news on the phone. This is a healthy substitute! Btw…I actually need to build a console too. Your joy gets me over the motivation line.

@0815mkl 2 года назад

This is great. You could also add a wireless charger on the backside of the wood where your phone is sitting, so you can charge the phone without a cable while driving.

@yvetterobertson2770 2 года назад

Very Nice! You may want to ad some scrap neoprene (or something else that can be washed off easily} to the bottoms of the cup holders to catch drips and minimize rattles.

@silvanaabela9803 2 года назад

Well done! From a Maltese who lives in New Zealand and also lived in Mannheim for 8 years

Smudo has to be the most spoilt puppy on youtube :D Love the build, I'm working out a similar idea for an old mini, this has given me some inspriation :D

@KWicksable 2 года назад

I am mesmerized by the passion that you put into your projects. Most people would go to their local auto parts and accessories store and purchase a cup holder. Yours is next level genius. If I lived anywhere near you, I would want to be your apprentice. Well maybe 20 years ago 😁. Anyway, great job, that console is everything. Side note, I get tickled pink whenever I see your “ let glue dry “ signs.

@Tyrel_156 2 года назад

I love solving annoying problems by creating something. No matter how small it is, it changes a daily frustration into something that brings a smile to your face every time you use it. Your daily quality of life just got a little better

@KayleeKerin 2 года назад

The vintage vibes (Crap, stuff I grew up with is vintage now...) are spot on. And the goose neck lamp is awesome :)

@missolympiabinewski 2 года назад

I'm always a little surprised how useful glue remains in big projects beyond kindergarten art time. Go glue!

Excellent work with super-slick outcome! Love the Ballistol mixing station. (Glad no Irish Engineer this week!) TIGing Stainless Steel with Lincoln - You Da' Boss, my friend!!!

@iamlaci76 2 года назад

Very good project. One idea: put a wireless charger pad under the phone placeholder, and the charging no need cable.

@rhybeka 2 года назад

Don’t kick yourself too much for not doing it six years ago :) it came out so functional and gorgeous! Smudo says it needs a treat dispenser though :)

@Dizzyaisy 2 года назад

I enjoy more when you explain what you're doing as you go along. This was an excellent piece of work, such wonderful skill and creativity.

@Carpetcleanerman 2 года назад

Und wenn die Karre demnächst den Geist aufgeben sollte, dann musst dir noch so einen holen, damit die Mittelkonsole weiter leben kann . So Klasse. Danke.

@JCWren 2 года назад

Clocking all your screws the same way definitely satisfied my OCD :) I wonder if where your phone sits, if you made that bar a little thicker (front to rear), could you embed a USB-C connector to charge your phone? You'd set your phone down, then slide it slightly backwards to mate it into the connector. Or maybe embed a Qi charger, if your phone supports wireless charging.

Wann habe ich das letzte Mal jemanden gesehen, der Rundkopf-Messingschrauben mit Schlitz verarbeitet hat?? Sieht fast aus wie auf einer klassischen Motorjacht! Klasse!

@sgsax 2 года назад

My first thought was to copper-plate the stainless steel, but now that I've seen the black, it's a much better match for the rest of the console. Super cool look to the project and highly functional. Thanks for sharing!

@LewHarriman 2 года назад

Brava!! A delight, every time you step into the vehicle. What an elegant and satisfying solution.

@PeterKNoone 2 года назад

Awesome!!!! Really clever and well executed. You might consider using a red bulb in your lamp to preserve your night vision.

@FishMH 2 года назад

I don't know how you do it ! Most excellent, with thought for all needs while driving. Kudos !!!

@expatmousse5196 2 года назад

I have to say this before commenting… “Smart Haus Licht aus, Licht an, aus, an aus, an “🔥🚒🚨 was a Great way to start a Sunday👍🏻😉👍🏻 Now to the comment, as usual some great inspiration in your designs, I love the mixture in materials used, well done 👍🏻 Have a great 🕯 advent

@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC 2 года назад

It made me smile too. So did Smudo all cozy by the fire. Thanks for sharing.

@legomaker3105 2 года назад

This is just awesome! So many people think they can’t fix things in their lives but you show us all the time that a little can-do attitude goes a long way. Keep up the good work

@mytrant 2 года назад

Looks like a high end car console... It just belongs there. Very nice work and very neat idea!

@rogerbennett2025 6 месяцев назад

that lid you made with those little pieces of wood is the coolest idea ive seen.. i have a 1969 javelin i have to make a center console for it ....and im going to borrow your Idea ....that was awesomme

@andrewjones-productions 2 года назад

You are incredibly talented. I found your channel as researching ideas for my little cargo trailer. I have stayed because of your high level of craftsmanship and well produced videos! The centre console box you have created demonstrates and showcases your skills in woodwork, metalwork, electrical knowledge and design. Fantastic.

@heiditobin4341 2 года назад

The Center Console came out perfect! Functional and pretty ~ you made a winner!

@stefanoe.m.1540 2 года назад

You should definitely rebuild the whole car with this style haha

Keep smiling Laura, you deserve it, you're the greatest.

@simonmurray2002 2 года назад

This installation makes me wish my car hadn't got a centre console. I want one like this so bad now. Well done

@danteosvaldoreale7670 2 года назад

Smudo`s help is priceless. Good and incredible work.

@volla40 2 года назад

Those cupholders would make some awesome exhaust tips 🤣🤣🤣

@benjaminholmgren1356 2 года назад

Always waiting for your lovely (satisfaction) smile at the end :) "there is nothing more rewarding that building stuff that solves your problem" ❤️❤️❤️ enjoy your new console Laura. Have a nice end of day

Not many things can be called perfect, but this fits the need, and the space perfectly! Thank you Laura!🐝🤗❤️

@TheFusselmonster 2 года назад

Ich weiß nicht warum aber ich finde so große Kippschalter super. Die sollten öfter verbaut werden. Man hat jedes Mal das Gefühl man würde Triebwerke starten oder sowas 👮🛫

@konstantinosfasoulas1787 2 года назад

That is great!! Really amazing job and you can see it on your face from the smile it brings you! Maybe next step could be a wireless charger underneath so when you put your phone there it automatically charges ???

@kenn1936 2 года назад

That is just AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing this project. It was fascinating to watch!

@MrAlchemist7777 2 года назад

Thanks Laura, now I have no excuses left. I’ve been putting it off for 15 years to put a centre console in my T5. I guess I better do it now now. Great design, that will put a smile on your face face every time you get in the van. 👍👍👍👍👍
