This week I got to redeem myself. After designing a bed that looked pretty clumsy, I took the parts I didn't like and turned them into a really nice and functional bookshelf.

I wanna say again how much I appreciate the care you take for your family. Not only in building these beautiful projects for them, but also how you protect your children's privacy.
Why would you appreciate another persons choice to not show her wife's child's face
@@smashyrashy because a lot of people use their child as part of their brand and the kid has to then act a certain way all the time. Plus, its protecting her privacy so that once she grows up, she can be an anonymous person if she so chooses. Also, there are a lot of pedophiles out there who watch family vlogs to watch the kids. Its best practices these days to not show a kids face if you're an influencer.
@@crowdedsubwaystationwell said. I agree totally
@@smashyrashy Politely letting you know that Laura refers to her wife's child as her own daughter. Full stop.
As for "why would you appreciate somebody else's choice", I think human beings can appreciate when fellow human beings demonstrate and uphold similar values. In this case, it allows for the bonding of a community. It tells you that the people who you may care about, to any degree, are safe - especially in this case. I'd say the majority of us have invested interest in the safety of the next generation. Don't you?
In any case, I agree with Ursa. I also appreciate Laura's care for her children's privacy. It shows me that she cares about their safety and comfort. And in turn, I feel more safe and comfortable watching her videos and consuming her work.
For as individualistic as many societies have become, it is reassuring to see others that hold the same feelings you do, and commit to building a better future with them. Even if, in this case, that community has more distance and a more parasocial nature.
I can't really tell if you're question was genuine or if you're trolling...but if it's a genuine question you're asking, that's my perspective. And I suspect I'm not alone in my thoughts.

Having the ad at the end is good. I read the comments while the ad rolls.
I've watched your vid's for a long time now, and really enjoy them. What I really like is that you're not showing your daughters face. Please don't fall into the trap of letting RUclips take over every aspect of your life. Please keep making "YOUR" videos. Love what your doing with the new house.
Seeing you with your kids gives me so much joy. Thank you for protecting their privacy, and still giving us glimpses of your family and how they enjoy the things you are building for all of you.
Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
Laura, I’ve been watching you for years and I don’t think I say this enough but I am absolutely enamored by you. Your energy is wonderful. The way you talk about your family is heartwarming. I appreciate you as a person and a maker. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I loved the device of using the tape to explain things, without having to interrupt yourself in the video.
Love it!!!
That's lovely shelf, there. The softened corners of the bevels, the simplicity of the joinery, the lighting. Very comfortable-feeling. Thank you for sharing your design approach. It's nice to see Smodu having fun, too!
YES!!! Let Glue Dry is back!
You have something else in common with your sponsor. You,too, are brilliant! Love your energy! Love your mind! Love you protecting your family! I’ve been watching you for years and will continue to do so in the years to come. Thank you for spreading so much joy into the world.
Pausing just before the eleven minute mark to say, it makes me happy not only to see you protecting your daughter's privacy, but also connecting with her in the way you do. You seem very patient and open with her. It makes me glad to see, especially as I wasn't raised with similar values, but came to them on my own.
I think this series is a nice compromise between the quirky stuff you like to do, and the house audience. Looking forward to more.
It’s not what I would call design, it’s so middle of the road to put it mildly. Where are your original ideas? Left in Germany?
It's so good to see Smudo back to normal again! Even his ears haven't changed too much. I've always found it touching to see how you trust each other (I don't like dogs, normally).
And a nice "little" project this week, too. Back to the roots 😉👍🏼
I love this piece - as a lifelong book junkie, a good bookshelf is an invitation, a decoration, a haven for knowledge, and in your case - a beautiful addition to your classic California home. Greetings from the SF Bay to you and yours.
I love how you transform everything. Love your LA life, wife and family. Been following for years never bored.

Thank you, Laura. Every Sunday, I spend my time pretending I'm as talented as you. Priceless.
Love the idea of building all your own furniture, this way everything becomes an iconic and interesting part of your home.
Smudo🎉 Love the rounded corners on top❤ Who doesn't like spaceships?
Fantastic work! As always. Your shelf is something really special. (oh, it is so good to Smudo digging and running around happily)
I’ve always enjoyed your videos and watching you create but I have to say that you just seem so happy to be with your family doing what you love. Bravo!
Such an improvement! I love the rounded edges on the shelf! It looks so fancy, like something you'd get a fancy furniture store. And I love the addition of the lamp. You can tell the love you put into this project.
The shelf project turned out really great. In addition to the curved top, I really like the dowel pins standing out for the fixed shelves. It's a really nice detail touch.
Your thumbnail for this video, and the commentary about the Brilliant sponsorship at the end, reminded me of when I worked for a furniture designer/builder over thirty years ago. His main piece was a custom designed chair and we always had problems fitting them together because they were not four-corner square. It wasn't until after he closed up shop and sold it to someone hours from home, that I realized why we always had trouble with them and it came down to geometry/math which neither of us was very good at.
It dawned on me, and your thumbnail reminded me of this, that we were building a chair in the round. Therefore, all of the joints had to add up to 360-degrees for a perfect fit.
I wish I had figured that out way back then as it would have resolved all of our misalignment problems.
I also really appreciate how you recycle projects. In that way, no project is a failure. It's just a stepping stone to the next wonderful thing.
Thanks, again for another wonderful video!
Laura, id say that with your creative imagination... you're good at anything. Period. I love watching the process of rounded wood corners, every time you do it!
I love that you were able to point to yourself in that book for your daughter .. so cool
I love the talking sections wrapped around sections of just music and building....very soothing and enjoyable. Beautiful shelf!
Protecting your childrens pricacy is very important. She will thank you for this when she is older.
And, nice bookshelve you made. Got me thinking how to make something in the future.
This is one of my all time favorite of your videos!
Thanks for saying that!
Great save on the bookshelf. I also love watching Smudo enjoying the California dirt lol
The bookcase is beautiful!
The music choice at 5:16 is so utterly delightful; I rewound the video just to listen to it again 💙 It fit the vibe of video really really well
Hey Laura! You built a beautiful book shelf. You taught me how to make a curve out of wood! Very cool. Tiny is adorable. I forgot what little hands look like. I love them! Thank you for sharing your journey making furniture for your house. I know it's going to be amazing. I love that your daughter wanted to read a book with you and it was on the shelf. I agree... that proves it's approachable. All the best!
The idea of the light in the boocase is genious, I ❤ it.
I really am exited every Sunday to see what your brain and hands have produced that week.
Cannot wait to see the next one.
Beautiful shelf! I love watching you work. You make it feel tactile, when you rub your hand on the wood, I remember that feeling from my woodworking class. Hugs from 🇨🇦
I appreciate you work but I love you caring and your character even more. Thank you for another great sharing.
Rounded corners add such a sleek and charming look!
I love to make art from found objects. You inspire me to put it out there.
Wonderful video as always! The bookshelf looks great!
I love the relaxing feeling that your videos give and that's hugely enhanced by the calming and ultra-relaxed background music.
It's soooo nice to finish a day of work and come home to a video of yours with music that relaxes you and makes you feel like you're in a bath of champagne!
This is such a GREAT idea. So excited to see your creativity flow
Nicely done, and the light down low is a nice touch. Groovy music.
i love the built in light. its not just beautiful in the background, you can also use it for reading. thats not easy to combine ❤
I cannot state how much I LOVE this bookcase, might have to recreate for myself 😊😮
Beautiful bookcase! I really like the curved top and the light it makes it a cozy place to read! The furniture you're building is absolutely amazing! Wish I had your skills 😊! Have an awesome week with your family! Blessings always, 😊❤
I'm glad you are back letting the music guiding the cuts between shots. I love that style of editing. 😊
I love the process! 🌈
Great story-telling with the pink tape in this! I love that.
Love this peacefull music and the wordless quiet working art
Priceless! 🤩 you look so happy doing what you're doing! I love everything you do because it comes from your heart! I'm a great grandmother and I love your channel ❤
Super neat that curve! Love it. Thank you for showing how to do it
14 minutes of little joys ✨ Thanks as always for sharing and savoring in the process of making something beautiful!
This project turned out so beautiful I wish I had it in my home. You are amazing.
Love the curves on the shelf
A really wonderful piece of furniture and even better when it's up-cycled. Love it! Keep be awesome and inspiring, thanks for being you!
Woah that looked like a lot of math! A great way to tell how much Laura truly cares about a build is to see that she actually tackled the math. Very impressive :)
Love the rounded top design. Building a large bookcase right now myself, and you have me almost rethinking MY design, but we'll see.
By the way, love your soundtracks.
the amount i love your style is crazy! love it ❤
Great video!! My daughter and I look forward to watching every Sunday!!
Thank you for all of your wonderful videos ❤
Again quality quality quality, and so very beautiful. Can't wait to see what's next. 👍💗😊🇨🇦
Gorgeous shelf!
So much fun. I love the light.
Great vid Laura and when I saw the curve math I got this little twinge of anxiety. BECAUSE...I still suffer from having had the most terrible geometry teacher in high school -- he nervously whispered his lessons, while little beads of sweat ran down his face and the paper airplanes flew between the boys in the back of the room. When I remember him now I feel so bad for him -- I hope he found a better career. So, Brilliant might be the answer for me...will def give it a shot!
this is such a beautiful video 💜 love this style of editing too
A couple of thoughts: Smudu seems to have gotten acquainted with chasing down U.S. critters. And you yourself seem to be so happy these days with your new family.
Love this bookcase! (she says while eying an odd corner in her house).
I think I vaguely remembered you had at least one kid, but getting this family dump is like learning secret lore! Best wishes and happiness to all of you! Now let's learn about this bookshelf!
Wow. It became a beatiful object. Really nice!
Well done. So happy for you.
Gorgeous bookshelf! The Brilliant app is getting into your design process and making it even better! :)
Love this series.
Great redemption outcome👍
Love your creativity 👏👏
As usual, I am enjoying your projects... I always pick up a little something along the way
Okay, three videos in one day with a Diresta ice pick. It must be worth it, especially if I see it here, 😃 Great reuse of material, turning boxes into something ‘organic’. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day!
Ich liebe dieses Video. Und das Bücherregal ist sooooo schön.
Well done, good save, it looks great
The glue-drying segment was especially helpful!
If you want a challenge, you should look up the "squircle" shape for curves. It's a LOT harder to implement, but the results are spectacular as the radius adjusts over the the curve so that you have a gradual changing bezier throughout the curve.
You need a dust collection system in your Shop. Does anyone agree?
Love your videos and the slow and relaxing Style.
Love how you can remake something .
Geniale Idee zur Wiederverwendung. Jetzt hast du aus dem Unschönen etwas Schönes gezaubert.
Now that's a pretty cool shelf.
Great solution to re-make a project! Love how it fits in the space.
Thank you. That is one neat bookshelf!
It’s very beautiful 😍
Beautiful build Laura and you're well redeemed. I love to see kids reading. There's no great gift you can give to a child than the love of reading. Great job x Is that smudo running around? Is he better? OH I hope so
There are a lot of things about this video that I like. At the top of the list is Smudo digging in the dirt, just being a dog.
Der smarte Anschlag ist ja wohl mega geil. 😮🎉
Wonderful video and piece of furniture. Both are very inspiring 🙏
Cut to sometimes in two years from now:
"Laura, I know you want to build every piece of furniture one by one but please, build us a dining table already! Or let me buy one!"
"NEVEEEEEER!"
(this comes from love for your videos and your projects ❤)
Smudo makes every video 'extra'. :)
Ist ein sehr schönes Regal geworden!
Honestly I'm just here for Smudo clips. The woodworking is just a bonus 😉
Beautiful!
Now that you are living in California , which is prone to earthquakes, your designs and build decisions should reflect this. For instance, the Tall bookshelf needs to be anchored to the wall in some way. I'm sure you will come up with a unique means of achieving this.
Omg...the subtle commentary "visuals" are so cool....
Please keep us updated on Smudo's hole. It looks quite the project!
Just when i think you can't get any ...(more creative), you go and do something like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
I love the curved top to the bookcase and the light, except... am l the only person who saw the light pull and immediately thought of a tampon? 🤣
Sorry for lowering the tone. (Not sorry!) I do love your work, Laura, honest. ❤
Wow. Yet anotber beautiful build.
another nerd buffet for all the feels🎉
Lots of people say they are bad at math. I failed calculus and did poorly in math in high school. I stayed far far away. Returning to school now for an electrical engineering degree I had to get good at math. Its all about practice. No one can be good at something if they don't practice. Don't let math get in the way of what you want to do :)
