    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    My absolute favorite part of this video is when you get a smile on your face after something comes together nicely. You’re just so pleased with yourself and how it turns out, and I totally know that feeling. It’s one of my favorites things. Well done on the door!

    This is extremely enjoyable, watching the gradual progression and build out.
    Watching you use all the skills, hacks and experience you've learned over the years is really inspiring.
    ...Plus, that roll-out shelving unit is wicked!

    Thanks for this video. I am a third generation residential carpenter and lifelong woodworker. Im getting ready to build a set of arched french doors for a new client and i learned a lot from this video.

    I think that there's something deeply philosophical about that "LET GLUE DRY" steel block. In projects like this (and most other things in life) you can't get decent results if you try to rush or force things. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to happen and events to unfold and plan around the things you can not affect or change.
    That said I hereby petition to have "LET GLUE DRY" t-shirts and stickers in Laura's shop and I definitely need a miniature version of that block as a paperweight for my desk.

    • @laurakampf

      Stickers are a cool idea! I will look into it!

    • @MoonshineMetalworks
      @MoonshineMetalworks 4 года назад +5

      I am VERY on board with this idea! The "Let Glue Dry" block deserves more recognition!

    • @svenhohne2697
      @svenhohne2697 4 года назад +7

      But definitely in your very typical lettering type, I love that style.

    I'm so glad I found your channel through Simone. As a carpenter myself, it's refreshing to see a women doing this kind of work. You're incredibly talented, and your craftsmanship is top notch. Definitely better then most men that I've hired through the years lol. You can see that you care, you feel the wood, you can tell you really enjoy it. There nothing quite like the feeling of satisfaction you get from making plans, building what you thought up, then standing back and looking at what YOU created and built. Hats off to you ma'am. After seeing your hands, and that they look a lot like mine, made me love your channel even more. Well done.

    You are a badass! That was so fun to watch. I have been pondering building my own front door to my house. I promised my wife I would start with a new door on our house 6 years ago. What I didnt know was how many things needed attention first in our home and that both of us would go back to school to get our masters degrees at the same time. We will both be Nurse Practitioners soon! This has inspired me to do a little something to relax after almost 4 years of school. I'm gonna build it after I take my national board certification. But before I start my new career at age 45! Thank you for sharing your work! Keep it up!

  • @FabioLeone94

    loved the build, as I always do. Loved the secret tips- hot melting the slab to a planed face, sawdust mixed with glue. Those kinds of little details, shared without a word, whereas other makers need to make a whole video just about them, jabbering away. Thanks again!
