DIY Fold Away Camping Table

- This week i built a folding table for my camper van.
Since space is always a big issue this table folds to fit into a stackable storage box.
I am so happy i finally figured this out :)

We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
I know failing sucks, but look at where it can take you..! This is an amazing design, so simple, so logical, yet so new and creative. Fantastic :D
Yes indeed! And success would never taste so good if you don"t know how unpleasing it is to "fail" ! Laura Thanks for bringing us along the "failure" of the first and the success of the second! It was a blast ! and WOW what a storytelling and edit! Love it! The tape communication is still cool! (idea : Tshirts with tape that says something cool! Like "Tape can also communicate! or Tape communication or yeah. something you would wear, the others would too !
stonebay productions - "Wool" or "cotton?" 🙂
@@DominusFeles didn't get it? 😅✌🏻
@@stonebayrocker Sorry 😄 It was spontaneous tape text ideas 😊 Since Laura typically writes what material it is, dimensions or something in that style on the tape I thought it would be fun with a t-shirt print that looked like tape and that said what the t-shirt was made of 🙃
@@DominusFeles ahh! I see! 👍🏻 The potential is there! (I guess you're from Sweden! I'am from Norway! ;) )
The storytelling in your videos is so good! It's crazy.
Maker Monster Laura Kampf collab when?
SSM Maybe one day!
Love your stuff man! Keep it weird!
Hell yeah, so good! Laura rules!
2:45 and 3:45 blew my mind!! You are a genius Laura! 💪
+1 gajillion!
Not to mention that blue looks fantastic against the pale wood.
Yeah, a piece of heavy fabric as a hinge. Light weight, durable, wont rust, wont really wear out = Awesome
That ratchet strap is a stroke of genius! I've never thought of heating the knife to cut them, I always blowtorch the cut edge, your way seems so obvious now
Super simple hot-knife.
Laura, this is sheer genius! A really original and innovative design and I knew you wouldn’t let this problem beat you! I love that you have the faith in your product to test it in such a way, the sort of thing I do! Brace yourself for the health and safety “experts”. Outstanding!
Don't you mean... SHEAR genius? ;D
Redmar Kerkhof No, SHEER will do fine 😊
Now THAT is a cool folding mechanism! Simple and clean. Fantastic!
I gotta say "The Maker Monster" is absolutely right. Not only are your ideas clearly and concisely presented, but they artistically presented too. Just amazing. Amazing ideas, amazing presentation, even amazing jams. You get my vote for best DIY vids!
Brilliant solution with the strap hinge Laura! I really like the colors from the new camera!
Strap hinges are awesome, great for folding tablet holders too.
After a lesson about failure, here's the lesson on "don't give up". Very cool result!
I don't know how smooth the bottom of the storage box is, but if it is smooth, could you skip the wooden table top and just flip the storage box over and make it the top? 1 less piece, would stand up to wet better, etc. I love the solution for the base / legs.
Had the same thought. Figured I'd better check to see if someone else had the same idea.. 😀
I had the same idea as Kevin but a different conclusion as MrKyle:
The bottom of the Box is profiled, so many things will flip i.e. If you put a glass on the bar. To avoid this, one will have to fix a kind of board to cover those thin bars without making the construction thicker, something not always working sufficient.
A second point:
The plastic box can be used as a protector for the wood when the table is placed on humid ground like a mead. So this construction is genious, thanks Laura for sharing.
i think the plastic box is a drawer for the camper van. The plastic box will have drawer slides attached and installed in the van.
I'm so happy that you were able to make a "fail" and isill post it but not only that.. But try again and make a amazing build with a smile on your face at the end of the day. You are my true hero
The anticipation over the table fitting into the top was killing me. And then it fit perfectly.
I am pleased. Your dog looked very pleased as well.
Take a bow, you deserve the applause (though the true reward of a puzzle solved with ingenuity and elegance shows in your glowing smile at the end)! Thank you for sharing the gift with us!
I love seeing you triumph after the last attempt. It makes it so much sweeter. The folding base is brilliant.
Way to stick with the project and keep iterating until you found the right solution! Fail until you succeed! Great job Laura. Love all you do!
Outstanding - I love the strap hinge...... & the table clearly gets the Smudo waggy tail seal of approval :)
This is honestly your most impressive work yet, usually I think many of us can see where you’re going with a lot of the designs but with this you astonished me at several points!
i like your style, from the feel of your shop to the stuff you make.. has a modern, yet industrial feel to it that feels cool and creative.
Simple elegant solution to a problem. Looking forward to the next one.
Your hinge trick is truly clever!
It's cool to see how this project evolved. Especially after the last video about failure.
Laura,
I''ve want to let you know how much I enjoy seeing you problem solve, create, and make things. It is fun, informative, and inspiring. Keep up the great video work, I know shooting, lighting, editing, adding music, etc. is a time suck, but I sure appreciate watching.
I love the way Laura smiles at her dog. Such affection.
The moment of joy on your face when you see the idea of the blue strapping working as you planned was great. Then the simple fact that it all fits inside the tabletop itself...brilliant. And additional points for Doggo :)
Just got a new subscriber! Love the table and nice problem solving. Has anyone suggested just skipping the wooden lid and using the plastic crate as the top? Might not be possible can’t tell what the crest bottom looks like from here. Really nice job!
Wicked smart! That folding technique could be used on so many other portable designs, my thinking gears are turning, thanks Laura!
Way to turn the project around Laura! The design looks great. Using the ratchet strap as a hinge is ingenious.
yeah, using the webbing is genius.. will be stealing that idea
super cool project
The end product plus no narrative needed video made it all the sweeter. So cool!
Fabric hinge = brilliant! Another incredibly creative approach to solving a design problem.
I really like that you showed us the learning process for this project, because now after seeing this video I am sitting here amazed and so excited to see the new design you came up with!
just came to your channel after watching the collab you did with Simone Giertz and i'm in love! the storytelling in your videos, your designs, your general attitude...i'm subscribed for life 💕
What I like best about you is your ingenuity. Way to keep after this!
LOVE the hinge solution, by the way! So many applications for that system - cheap and lightweight.
Your grin when you stood on the table was very telling. Well done and thanks for sharing this design!
At first I thought this was way too hacky and then the plastic band and the snug fit brought it all together 🤗👍🏾 glad that the dowel became a perfect+permanent solution, too; no extensive assembly required.
Bravo! Your in orbit again! Beautiful, practical & compact, why are not all foldable tables made this way? Thank you for sharing!
Love the way you looked so pleased with the way the fibre hinge worked...very cool Laura! ❤️
Of course you were going to nail this! I love the tip of heating the knife before cutting through the strap! This is such an innovative design for a table. Love it!
Very ingenious solution to a problem! Very different design from the first one, so it just proves all you need to do is learn from your fails and keep trying. Another great build!
Great use of new material. Strap is been added to our minds as hinge now. Thanks Laura
and boom! folding table. Awesome solution. I've been watching for awhile and I really appreciate your creativity and ingenuity .
Laura, thank you for sharing your failures and your success. It makes it even more valuable.
The edits and the shots are tops.
You are a star , a hard_working_deserving_her_success star.
Master of piece! Thanks for having me on your miraculous journey of discovery! Love you, your work and attitude Laura!
That is a very great design. Simple, reliable and compact, I don't know many designs that have all three elements to them.
I love to see the evolution of the idea as well as the end result. Thanks again Laura!
Great idea and great design. Glad to see that you stuck with this project and had a great outcome. Keep up the amazing work
Fabric hinges... Such a brilliant idea! I would have never thought about that.
Now that's what I call a come back, after you last fail. You hit a home run!!! You are just amazing.
This is a big success ! Keep going! Your work way is perfect. Failure-think-work-win. Glad you're part of this platform and thank you for your inspiring work!
double thumbs up for problem solving, design and elegant construction, please believe me I'm stealing it!
Best thing about this video? Your smile shows you enjoyed the process.
This is brilliant. Also I have to say I wasn't expecting it to be as sturdy as it is.
Brilliant! The webbing is perfect. Your smile when you know you have nailed it is everything. ♥
Ich hab jetzt, glaube ich, zum ersten eine Kappsäge bei dir im Einsatz gesehen. Die Idee der Eckverbindung mit Schlaufenbänder ist ziemlich genial und stylisch dazu - das wandert definitiv in die Ideenkiste!
Thanks Laura. I've been searching for a long time to find a foldable base for my modelrailroad and you just gave me the perfect solution. 🤩
Spot on - every single second of it and your ingenuity blew my mind as very well - again. I should be getting used to it and "brace for impact" when opening one of your videos. After all I've been following your channel for quite some time now ... but no. You get me every almost every time. Awesome and thank you for sharing - the whole camper series is a blast. Cheers! JM
Wow! What a genius solution! So elegant and simple! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😮
Brilliantly simple design. Awesome. I always like when Smudo makes an appearance.
Doesn't tumble and or tip easily, even with a slight push. Good design. Well done.
Serious design smarts, right there! Love the use of the flexible material to hold the two parts together.
That brain of yours...amazing job Laura!! You perseverance is very encouraging!!😊👍
LAURA,I AM FROM BRAZIL AND I ALWAYS WATCH YOUR VIDEOS.CONGRATULATIONS!
Laura,eu sou do Brasil e sempre assisto os seus vídeos.Parabéns!
Excellent! Great solution - especially within the constraints of the storage box. Your are the business!
Genius idea to use that strapping like that! Really nice build, Laura!
Ingenious. Very smart thinking getting away from the pop-up idea and going in a whole new direction.
I love the way you tell a story with your build videos, and this table looks really fantastic. Completely practical and functional! Also, Smudo is awesome.
AWESOME!! Simple design, and it works beautifully. Excellent work Laura!
Your smile when you saw the idea worked was sooooo cute 💕
Following you for a while. Great solution. Without failure there would be no discovery.
YES! An amazing recovery from the last table project, that idea is awesome, well done 😃
Nice, I’m moving in a few days and deciding what will be given away and what stays. I ran out of room in the moving container. Now I’m looking around the garage thinking I can build that now. Maybe it’s a way to procrastinate on packing and moving, lol. Well I guess the saws now stay and take up the rest of the storage bin. I can donate dishes and always buy new dishes, tv stand and racks, a it will be a lot cheaper then buying new saws. Nice video 👍
i was more impressed by the innovative thinking with every shot. such a clean, simple, but creative solution that i know for sure i never would have come up with.
You genuinely looked so happy when it worked! I knew you’d figure it out!!
Wow, you did it! Love the idea of heating up the knife to cut the webbing. Very cool. The first one wasn't a fail, it was research.
Ingenious! Was holding my breath when you climbed on top! Love your videos.
That is really a genius design, and the strap hinges was epic, only slight concern I have, is the dowels and the plywood where they're placed - don't you think it could be a problem in the future with wear and tear? Maybe a small metal rail on each piece (stainless steel) where you drill a 6mm hole and using a 6mm stainless steel tap instead of the wood dowel would give it more strength?
- I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking this and seeing problems where no problems is. :-)
Or, the dowels themselves might tend to tear in this build. They're designed to be non-moving fasteners, often with glue involved. Turning them into hinges may have unwanted results.
They are definitely going to break. This is a clever idea but the joint should have been made of steel.
I would love to have one of these. I'm not a maker, but I just love this concept! Well done!
Real ingenuity, you are talented. Thanks for sharing your work.
This is an amazing new design, never saw such a thing before. Patent the hinge idea and bring the table in production Laura. Maybe....together with an easy chair based on the same idea?
Awesome! I knew you would figure it out. I love the nylon strap hinge idea. Great job!!! To bad the video is over, now I have to wait for next week.
Such satisfaction when completed, nicely done. Simplicity rules🙌🏽
Nice! If it's ends up being unstable on uneven ground, you could arch/notch the legs/panels whose entire length runs on the ground (and therefore may encounter rocks/roots/whatever). Anyway, great job pushing through and coming up with a great design!
Amazing simple design. I think a small handle or a groove to help you remove it from that crate would be a nice final touch.
That smug smile in 2:48, lol
Nice table, much better than last week idea!
Did you notice the smile ??? OMG she looked so happy after the failure with the last attempt ! Good job Laura, be proud of yourself !
One very cool idea for bringing a table somewhere when you don't have a lot of room. Nice build
Amazing design and amazing manufacturing!!! Congratulations.
This one really blew me away. What a clever solution! 😍👍
I liked the Mathias Wendell table test! I was a little worried for you being on a table, on a table. Very nice build! I will be building one for myself to use on the back porch.
Excellent !
That was one of your best ideas yet!
Really love the professional production value of your videos too, Laura.
(and you ALWAYS have the best music too)
Thank you.
What a beautiful and practical piece of furniture! I was going to start pointing out things that I thought should be changed to make it better for other kinds of camping, but then I realized that your video had just inspired me to design and build my own camping table, which is probably the very reason you post builds like this in the first place! The ideas are coming fast. Thank you! If I finish my concept, I'll post my own video. I've already decided on a snappy name for my project: 'The AdapTABLE.' If that name is taken, please no one tell me. I'm too excited about this.
Great idea with the webbing & folds perfectly compact too, love it.
Cool table love the hinge. If your keeping it in the plastic box you could flip it upside down and use that as the table top.
This mechanism is brilliant! and looks good too. I'm wondering if these legs will work for camping on an uneven ground though.
I AM SO INSPIRED FOR MY NEXT PROJECT! THAT SYSTEM IS PERFECT!!!!!
You edited together such a good "aha!" moment! I love this.
After a long interval, a cool and creative design. Very well done Laura👍🏻
Great build. I was really impressed with the strap idea. That was a stroke of genius. I want to use that idea if ok with you. A flexible hinge that is strong and will last; so cool !
Great idea! Love how you used a webbing as a hinges.
Got to be one of your best builds yet, really clever use of subtle amounts of colour, ingenious mechanism, and like always with your work, a phenomenal use of space and form - really goes to show how important it is to persevere through failures!
I also think it would be really cool to take the texture/pattern at 3.46 and turn it into a wall divider, or texture on a cabinet :)
And it's beautifully! Although what else would we expect?
