- 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!

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.
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
I agree. Another maker whose works are instantly recognizable is Uri Tuchman. You should check him out.
I was loving the entire build but when the flex lamp showed up I grinned like a fool. So dang handy and lovely!
I'm absolutely building a Honda Element version! The light is brilliant, must include! Hats off to Laura!
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!!! ❤
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.
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.
I bet that's what the notch out of the bottom is for, to run a charging cable to the port.
Great idea.
It's right!
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
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
I watch so many creator channels on TH-cam: 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!
It made me smile too. So did Smudo all cozy by the fire. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!!! Suddenly my jeep needs a new console. Great job!!!!
Well done! From a Maltese who lives in New Zealand and also lived in Mannheim for 8 years
The vintage vibes (Crap, stuff I grew up with is vintage now...) are spot on. And the goose neck lamp is awesome :)
Brava!! A delight, every time you step into the vehicle. What an elegant and satisfying solution.
Looks like a high end car console... It just belongs there. Very nice work and very neat idea!
You have such great pre-visualization skills!
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.
The Center Console came out perfect! Functional and pretty ~ you made a winner!
AMAZZZZZZING!!!!!! THANK YOU! I WANT A HOME LIKE YOURS!
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
Love the map light addition.
Those cupholders would make some awesome exhaust tips 🤣🤣🤣
I'm always a little surprised how useful glue remains in big projects beyond kindergarten art time. Go glue!
adding the goose neck light fantastic.
I kept rewinding and pausing to see each cool little detail.
Seriously, YOU'RE A GENIUS!!
You should definitely rebuild the whole car with this style haha
More than solving problems, I would say bringing joy to our daily needs !!! Congrats for another piece of art 👏🍻
Induction charging under the phone is a cool future addition
the wood with the brass accents was a very nice choice
Awesome!!!! Really clever and well executed. You might consider using a red bulb in your lamp to preserve your night vision.
Your enthusiasm for solving problems is infectious!
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.
I don't know how you do it !
Most excellent, with thought for all needs while driving. Kudos !!!
The project seems more interesting than the previous one. It is more functional. And this Leatherman at hand ...;)
Very good project. One idea: put a wireless charger pad under the phone placeholder, and the charging no need cable.
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
Love the Leatherman holder.
Laura....your smile is genuine and contagious. When you smile....I can't help but smile as well. You're proud of your accomplishments as you should be. You're so talented. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Turned out beautiful. Make stuff that makes you happy!
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.
Super Mittelkonsole!❤️
So eine fehlt Joel noch in seinem Camper.😎
I love to see anyone take the initiative to create or do work wether they have the skills or not. You built a fine console.
I’ve realized, between the project, your positivity, Smudo, and dem beats, that these videos are good for my mental health.
Simply put, you are a genius Laura.😎
Building stuff that you use on a daily basis is the best type of projects!
always nice when a solved “problem “ actually turns out way better then you hoped for , great job
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
The compass is a nice touch.
Beautiful work. I'm even starting to understand your fascination with black!
Great idea, Excellent Result! Great feeling every time your in the car!
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 :)
Wow, so schön. Praktisch, Retro und modern in einem.
Dang gurl!
Laura, this piece is incredible. Solid work.
Your centre console has a letherman holder and adjustable mood lighting. This is next level
Keep smiling Laura, you deserve it, you're the greatest.
Min 6:55 vandalism on wood! The squizer Is a good idea!🔥
OMG you've made my day!! That stand for the multitool... 😍😍😍😍 Herzliche Glückwünsche👏
The brass looks so classy!
Wow always like seeing what you make. the horrible cupholder in some cars is real. This project came out so well. So much function love the black and wood as well.
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.
Absolutely retro stunning. Longer the pink cup... Maybe I would have put a wireless charger under the phone. Your problem solving and ideas are cool.
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.
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!!!
❤️❤️❤️
That came out really nice ! I love your hands, you clearly aren't a TH-cam poser with someone else doing the work off camera.
That center console is badass!! I love it!!
Only 1 word BEAUTIFUL 😍
Not many things can be called perfect, but this fits the need, and the space perfectly! Thank you Laura!🐝🤗❤️
Brilliant!!! I don´t think i ever have been watching a video from you without learning something. Thank you Laura!!
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 ???
Strewth! That's a real ripper. Propper bonza piece of work. Fair dinkum!😉😊😎
She's a genius.
This installation makes me wish my car hadn't got a centre console. I want one like this so bad now. Well done
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. 👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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
-Laura, I love you! You make things so beatiful!
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.
Really fantastic job. Looks great like it was always part of the car.
Damn girl!! You are a master maker!! Nice
I want one.
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 👮🛫
8:15 a place for The Leatherman, awesome 😎
ecco un altro video d laura che youtube non mi ha inspiegabilmente notificato
Waw! Very Nice build and you integrated it perfectly to the car
3:14 I'm waiting for the 'Sheet Metal Bender' video. It's gonna be beautiful.
I love it!. It's like it came out of the factory. Luxurious!
Wann habe ich das letzte Mal jemanden gesehen, der Rundkopf-Messingschrauben mit Schlitz verarbeitet hat?? Sieht fast aus wie auf einer klassischen Motorjacht! Klasse!
Great film. Console turned out gorgeous. Very Laura. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Makes me wish I had a van. That was excellent!
Laura, you are amazing....!
Awesome console..!!!
Thanks for sharing.💫🌠💫
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.
AWESOME i need to build something like this for my truck GREAT JOB again Laura
Huge level up for the leathervan!
Smudo`s help is priceless. Good and incredible work.
Quality build and all from the need for a new cupholder. Inspirational channel thanks for sharing your great work.
That light ❤️
Pragmatic creating often equals brilliance. Yup.
omg omg omg ... plz plz plz let this be the beginning of a truck build out!!! :D :D :D
Ich mag den Kompass! Eine tolle Idee💡
Just another awesome Laura build 👍
