I love the technique using the washer to scribe a line.
When I saw it I was shocked I had never thought of it. Simplicity!
I love how Laura's sewing machine is like the most industrial looking version of a sewing machine. 😂
Close, its heavy enough to sew most things but a true industrial machine your looking more toward those that sew rubber/HEAVY leather shoe soles and livestock equipment. Hers is up there for things it can do, but it mainly struggled due to actually being such overkill for such light material. Its more suited for sail canvas> medium weight leathers than paperthin fabrics like this.
It's a Sailrite. Optimized for sewing sails, canvas, leather and vinyl. Sailrite have a great channel with tutorials on how to make various things.
Sewing machines *are* industrial machines. the people who make your clothing aren't using your mom's Singer.
Could anything be more Laura, or more exciting? Off to the New World with a trailer, an umbrella, some aluminum boxes, and a handful of pocket tools for currency. Its Lord of the Leatherman! We can’t wait to see what adventures this brings, but it’s going to be great!
Happy travels Laura!!
The aluminum boxes are the most important part.
A literal throne of aluminum boxes
😂
LA means more Simone and Laura collab content, right? Please? 🙏 😂💖
Laura lives in Germany what do you mean LA
@@smashyrashy she said in the video she’s going to LA for a couple months, right? Did I hear that wrong?
@@philbarbatoYou heard that right. At 9:25, Laura says she’s shipping it to LA and she’s going to build something in LA.
I am really surprised that you didn’t make an accordion type of Bimini cover for the entire cart.
Or Adam Savage! But he's in San Francisco
Tell Felix the transition from shot to shot at 13:05 is sooo slick!
Here's to your continued journey in whatever form it takes. Having more resources and reach could be amazing, I just hope we don't lose the feeling that you have brought us over the past many years. It always feels like we're hanging out in our best friend's shop and just having fun creating. And wherever this goes, make sure Felix is there as well! He really has grown into his role not just as cameraman, but more importantly as a wonderful part of the team!
Tyvek makes a great ground cloth for backpacking tents, also a small square makes a nice pocket size clean place to sit when taking breaks on the trail. It’s gets softer and quieter with handling but still remains waterproof.
And at a fraction of the bulk or weight of a vinyl or canvas tarp!
Now that's some real big brain shit right there.
Waterproof but still breathable. That is why it is used a lot in building wood constructions (like the tiny house). But one thing that tyvek is not, is UV proof. It will hold quite some time but the type that I found states "4 month UV stable"
If you run it through the washer and dryer it comes out soft and quiet but still waterproof.
@@jlinkhart I think that gives a too smooth look for my taste. I agree with Laura @8:18 "anything that's in heavy use looks better than ..."
I always love the crinkled and worn look of tyvek and would just crumble it up a few times. That makes the tyvek a bit flexible, enough to be used.
Actually, this video inspired me to replace the heavy pvc tarpaulin on my bike trailer with a tyvek one 😁
That washer-and-pen trick is one i should remember…
Right?! I thought to myself, "Duuuh!" Faceplant!🙈
I really love that washer trick, to get the seam allowance for the tyvek! I will have to remember that. Good luck in LA! Looking forward to new adventures.😊
It works for scribing the shape of fancy edges too.
Looking forward to a lot more Laura/Simone awesomeness together!
Holy Cow! That is an epic cliff hanger! You crack me up riding around on the awesome, rattling, "ice cream truck". Can hardly wait to learn what you are cooking up now. Sure hope Felix is involved.
....awe snap! I need that light for my sewing machine!
Using the washer like that is amazing!
Best of luck on this next adventure! The mobile workshop is going to have so much fun on the trip!
Bring Felix!
You'd have to bring Laura, her mobile workshop and Felix to video it all and keep us all happy!
Aaaaaaah. As a sailmaker I was so curious about the sewing project. The washer is genius.
I'm not working right now, because I struggled a lot with anxiety and overwhelm due to an undiagnosed adhd. To see you sewing so carefree is enraging, neidisch machend and healing at the same time...
And I want to be in the same apocalypse state of mind soon: trusting, funny and carriying the most ressources inside yourself. ❤
Looking forward to new adventures with you! There's only one thing I don't like when I watch a video from you: it ends! Sending BIG LOVE!
I'm always jealous about your tools, but as a hobby sewer, the industrial sewing machine enlarges my envy. And the apocalypse scenario... soooo funny. Of course the adhesive tape dispenser is the most important thing 😆. But I think, you need a cushion for the sitting box.
Somebody probably said so already, but you can weld tyvek with ultrasonic. Really cool!
When you move to overseas I will gladly take care of that sewing machine... ❤
To glue Tyvek, you can use a strong adhesive like polyurethane-based glue or a specialized Tyvek adhesive. Apply the glue to the surfaces you want to join, then press them together firmly. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the glue container for the best results. Allow sufficient drying time before handling the glued materials.
So... "Let glue dry" 😁
PVA works just fine in my experience.
Tyvek also makes a seam tape that you can use.
@@tankgrrl Always words to live by.
Whenever it happens, welcome to Southern California Laura, we're happy to have you... Maybe bring some water with you?
They see her rollin’ - they lovin’ :)
Whatever you’re going to do I’m sure it will be fabulous and I’m glad to be along for the ride :)
Every time we watch your videos, I remind my wife that there WILL come a day when she will come home from work and there will be a wall of aluminum boxes our shop. Laura, I support your habit.
Where would one find these kinds of boxes; have reached out to Laura to ask but did not hear back so, seeing your comment, thought you might now. Thanks.
@@mindyhall4638 Aw, I wish I knew! I just meant that the inevitable day when I find a deal on those boxes, or something similar, I will buy all of them. I will post here if I find them!
Keep in mind that the US uses a 115/120V system. So you'll need some adapters or transformers to use your tools. Also those lights work normally on 220/230V as well.
Coffee with Laura and Felix. Thank you for taking us along on the peaks and valleys of the creative journey. Safe travels.
Oh this was definitely a valley in the 'creative' journey. smh
@@miked.9364 Thanks for sharing.
@@miked.9364 you don't have to express every thought that comes into your brain, especially when it is at the expense of another human being, ya know
@@bearsuitattack Im sorry mrs bearsuitattack. I didn't realize you are the gatekeeper of what people are allowed to express on the youtubes.
I've always looked at it as, if they didn't want people to express their own opinion of their videos they would turn comments off'.
I'm not one of those types that thinks "If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing".
What does that mean...oh you only hear nice things, like that is anything close to reality. smh
Me I think Laura's channel has been a bit of a disappointment lately. Like she either is kinda phoning in the content or has some personal issues going on and it's affecting her content.
Gawd I wish people would learn negative does not always equal bad. friggin handholders...grow up
@@miked.9364 Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you liked eating sloppy steaks at Truffoni's!
You need to bring Felix too! The way you interact, and the way he edits, are both intergral parts of your videos now.
OMG that washer trick.
I simply love everything you do! Watching your videos feels like spending time with old friends 😊
A tip with Tyvek… if you run it through the washer and dryer it comes out softer and quieter, more like a cotton sheet than a sheet of paper. But still waterproof.
I didn’t see the new tool box being packed, hopefully it’s going with your luggage for safe keeping.
A Leatherman, a dual-action cup holder and a coca cola umbrella.... -You are ready for anything! :D Happy travels.
I just built an 8ft by 3ft "wing" sun shade with pool noodles and underlayment (both made from polyethelyne)! I just used a heat gun, no glue, no solder or thread. It worked a treat, and everything is permanently attached.
Mobile tool cart on safari in Africa! The cart is coming together nice. Fun to watch it 'grow'.
What excitement! I'm looking forward to your continued adventures. Also, thanks for the reminder that we can prepare to move forward with a sense of anticipation even when we don't have it all figure out yet - SO needed to hear that today!
Wishing all the best to you in your “re-creation”. And welcome to my hometown! (You’ll need that umbrella!)
Aluminum cases, leatherman & lights! Your all set 😂
I love that little vehicle, it's like something out of a cartoon that somehow works.
Good luck. Enjoy the journey.🚲
If you are talking full 'apocalypse' build, have a tube on the side for the umbrella and solar panels to charge the devices and the cart. :)
In Canada, Tyvek is used during house construction - over the sheathing / plywood, under the final siding. It’s attractive characteristic supporting this use is that it’s water-resistant yet permeable, such that any trapped moisture can escape.
Whatever happens in the next couple of months, I know it's going to be a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!
Whatever you do, it just gets better and better. I always find if I've figured it all out, I don't do it. Journey into the unknown with no idea what you're doing and figure it out along the way. Makes for great content. Go Go Go!
Awesome, can't wait to see what's next! Awesome, amazing, pumped! Let's do this! Lol, until next time Laura!
This whole most-important-stuff-packing-for-LA feels like the episode from Krawinkel und Eckstein from Sendung mit der Maus where they essentially end up packing the whole house for their trip to Africa xD
A flat ultrasonic welder should work for Tyvec or two 3d-Printer heat elements in two brass blocks then pressed together. Tyvec is a cool material for ultrathin wallets
Looking forward to seeing what's to come. I know it will be awesome but what about Felix??? Intrigued to see.
Thank you so much for this video! I love the things you make, these fun quick projects are wonderful (I love when sometimes a project has a tangent into a different project, my own creative process has a lot of little detours following the flow of making.)
I wanted to share that I love in your videos that you speak in your native language, that it flows between English and German, like you are talking to the audience as friends all hanging out and that you speak in this comfortable casual mixture of languages.
I am so happy for you and your excitement on this next part of the journey!! I look forward to what you make along the way!!
😊💕✨️
Traveling maker TV show! I'm here for it ❤
When you say, “I wonder if we should try to glue it.” @ 6:56 the look on your face!
I see a meme, coming. 😂😂
Viel Gluck Laura!...whatever you'll do it will be ok
I have that same blue sewing machine, and recently acquired a huge stash of leather. I have the Monster Wheel, too, and love it!
Sooooo excited to see what you have in store Laura! Wishing you absolute success in all of your endeavours.
I don't know about anyone else but if i could pack anything in an Apocalypse scenario, the first thing I'd pack would definitely be a Laura Kampf. Survival likelihood would go up several thousand percent...
Looking forward to see what kind of crazy adventures await you in LA. Safe travels auf ein gute Fahrt!
Laura, Felix, I didn't want to interrupt yesterday, but I hope you had a pleasant day on the Rhine! I enjoy very much the videos, and as my father lives in Cologne and I've spent a lot of time here as a child it does have a bit of a nostalgic vibe for me.
I'm excited for your success, and the future content - I've always admired your work, and can't wait to see what's next!
What a fun video today! I love your creative talents. Thank you for having fun and smiling! Your charm makes the sunshine! :)
💥
So excited for your new journey! I can't wait to see what's next.
Thrilled for whatever your newest adventure is, Laura! It’s always a pleasure to see you in action.
Tyvek is a wonder material. We use it all the time in the museum field too because of its archival properties.
For heat bonding, a craft iron or hair straightener is easier to work with than soldering irons or vacuum bag sealers (wider area / more heat control). For sewing, a longish back stitch or ladder stitch is probably better than the zig zag since you don't need the stretch, and you loose a bit of structure if the stitching is too close so avoid serge/over stitch. For gluing I'd go with something like contact cement or another water based glue that doesn't fully harden, although I've been meaning to experiment with something like acrylic 'glue' (but it'd probably just melt through)
Put a flute on a heat gun and then press the surfaces together using a roller. I used to make marques and we had a fancy tool but it was just the above
Great! Can't wait to see what's coming. It's good to switch things up sometimes. Early in my career I was told that in order to be my best I would "need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable". I am excited for you! It's going to be great. I know it.
I think you maybe looking for a impluse heat sealer. Our shop used them to seal ziplock type bags.
I'm sure there's a glue that will actually weld the tyvek to itself (similar to glues for PVC pipes)
a little tip for threading a needle...wet the back side ofthe needle. It will wick the thread thru the hole.
So cool!!
You are most inspiring and multi skilled person I know on RUclips 👍
I learn something every time 👌
That's the coolest! I need that for garage sales. haha
You can’t control the sea, you must either ride the waves or admire them from afar. Enjoy every moment of the journey, Laura! 🍀 We look forward seeing you think, make, … as long as you’re having fun! 🎉
It's the Apocalypse, and what do I bring?
Hopefully someone as smart and resourceful as Laura.
Good luck on your L.A. journey!
For the very first time I wished I lived in LA. I can’t wait to see what’s going on.
Excited for what this news is of why you're going to LA. Love your work, and wishing you safe travels in the meantime!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the finished portable workshop. See you at 2.
Good luck in LA. About Tyvek, take a chunk of it and throw it in the washer( the agitator type) on cold. It’s hard to describe but it come out like cloth and loose all that crackle noise too. We backpacker types use Tyvek as a tent footprint, but it makes all kinds of noise until you wash it. Then it’s perfect. 👍
you are so smart and fun to watch Danke
Whatever you're doing, it sounds exciting!
Ooh so excited for what's coming from LA!!!
I hope Smudo gets to come too 😊.
Traveling with a dog during the summer is a hassle! Most airlines will NOT fly pets if temperatures are over 85 degrees F. Which makes perfect sense. Even IF the hold of the plane is pressurized & heated/cooled (many are NOT pressurized or heated/cooled) ANY time sitting in a crate on a tarmac waiting to be loaded/unloaded is dangerously hot.
@@m.maclellan7147 yeah that’s true.
I’m so pumped too!🦌💌❤️🪚🛠️🔨🔧🔧
Best wishes on whatever this supersecret project may turn out to be.
I absolute love that pyramid wooden toolbox
Of course you have already thought about purchasing plug adapters. Are your tools and rechargers going to work 110 voltage? I wish you only the best of luck and hope you have a great time with many wonderful memories!
This contraption is so much chaos I love it
Use a heated paper crimper to connect / bond two sheets together without any other material
I hope that Felix will still have editing work from you, that Smudo has a good place to stay with people who love him, and that your new adventure manages to finance you finishing the house (What happens to the house???)
Tyvek is micro porous but water resistant. This is why it is applied to timber frame housing.
Using the washer to add the seam allowance was SO clever!
Beim verschweißen vom Plastik hilft es, eine Schutzschicht (zb backpapier) zu benutzen, wenn man einen Lötkolben verwenden möchte
Maybe try using clear silicone seam and then sew. Works great for our tarps and lasts for years with the correct thread.
Hope the best for the next months! Big hug
I am a relatively new to your channel, but getting out of the comfort zone is needed. I hope the new experiences bring failures to learn as well as awesome successes to cherish.
All the best on your new journey!
I’m excited to watch any video Laura puts out wherever she lands, but if ur anything like me, omg u need every tool you have wherever you go!!! also really slick cut in the vid when moving those aluminum crates
Hi, remember to bring some electrical plugs for the USA as sockets in the USA are different than in EUR. And remember US has 110V.
Very, very, very best wishes for an incredible new chapter in this astounding novel. I can hardly wait to see where you are aimed! (Just in case? We have aluminum boxes in this country, too…if something happens to yours…)
Rise of the LauraKampfwagen
the thing with the washer to mark it is genius
Modular survival trike based on beer delivery trike platform. Versatile and popular!
Not all Tyvek is the same. Normal Tyvek is not UV resistance though you can get ones that is though. You could also use waxed canvas or a roll of kite fabric. That you can definatly sow into very durable covers.
