@@chloet7385 Great recycling ! The tire walls can easily be cut by an simple box knife,and when it comes to cutting the lengths its,like you did ,the best with a anlegrinder,but sooo messy.And good luck with your channel !
Sitting on some old tires, makes you think about where those tires have been driving. who made the roads there they drove, who designed the roads, who agreed on the design. So many folks involved bringing lots of thoughts.
Nice project. A couple things: First, I like how you work without a shop full of the perfect tools. The fact you had to borrow tools is a good thing. Second, I watch these projects with the girls and young women in my life. It's important for them to see women doing this work. Third, you mentioned linseed oil ... PLEASE, if you don't know about safe storage of this oil, research it. Spontaneous combustion is a serious risk. Other than that, good luck. Your channel is now in the viewing rotation. p.s. I probably would not have found you without "Laura Kampf" in the title, so good one on that. Reach out to other women to network and organically increase your viewership.
I am SO happy to hear you share these videos with the women in your life. A huge drive for me is inspiring woman and empowering them to fearlessly build whatever their hearts desire!
I strongly echo DrTrin's comments. I also found you due to the "Laura" reference, and I think that you are very strongly espousing her ethic and process (I've also been following her since the early days). I volunteer for a tool-lending library, and I am always looking for references to DIY women that I can share with our members - to reinforce that they can do it if they only try! You have a new subscriber.
Same here, I watch Laura's videos with my girls (8 and 13). They loved the bench videos, and they'll be delighted that there's now a third in the series! Thanks, Chloe, and all the best from Finnish Lapland! 👍😎
Thanks so much to everyone for the support on this video, it has been amazing! I guess I should have set my sights higher than 500 subscribers by the end of 2021 😂 I'll be traveling for the remainder of the year, but I plan to hit the ground running in 2022 so stay tuned! Important P.S. Don't cook with boiled linseed oil, that was a joke and multiple people have commented on the dangers!
Laura Kampf is truly an inspiration to many. I love her videos. You have done an equally inspiring job with this bench. To help you in the future should you ever try to use used tires again. Try looking for Bias-ply tires since they do not have metal wires in them like Radial tires do. They are bit more difficult to find because they pretty much stopped putting them on passenger cars after 1974, but they are still being made. The brand Coker Tire make reproduction one for classic car restorations so try asking around at any classic car show in your local area if they have any used ones still laying around. They usually will since typically Bias-plys wear out faster than more modern tires.
I LOVE seeing people make things with minimal tools. Not that I don't appreciate tools and makers of all sorts, but seeing what one can accomplish without fancy tools is very inspiring, especially to those looking to start making things. One inexpensive tool that would make things like the laps easier would be a chisel. Anne of All Trades has a vid or two about making cheap chisels better.
Well done Chloe, very cool design, I would not have thought of such a creative solution! One thing I miss in this video is the footage about how you approached the coffee-shop-owner and his/her reaction after putting the "new" bench back in place... also a final shoot when it was "in use". Great job, well done!
I wouldn't have found your channel if it wasn't for 'Laura Kampf' in your title. Love how you show in your video the things that worked and didn't. For me as a beginner, I learned alot from your video.
I really love that you don't use too expensive tools. When I watch Lauras Videos I can't reproduce her work, due to my limited tools. Now I hope to find more of such projects on your channel. I guess the smoking tires aren't very healthy. Something like a FFP2 mask helps just a little, you should use a mask with activated carbon filter.
I’m only half way through this video, and I can already tell that your channel is going to be in my top ten favourites (Laura’s channel is obviously already in there) 😄 I can’t wait to binge all the rest of your videos 😊
Instead of the cross laps you could screw on 1x2 cleats .Rubber without steel re-enforcing can be cut with a blade that is wet . I've done it with a jackknife but water is the important part . Thumbs up great idea.
Cool project and the finished bench looked great! Love the use of limited tools and that you just power through with what you’ve got, it’s the best way to learn. I’ve never seen tyres used like that before, it’s cool how they naturally make a butt shaped contour! Great way to recycle them. Good luck with building your channel :).
Your approach to each job that you do is refreshing . I hope can move forward with this and grow your channel . And never forget the small jobs that we all can afford . Ps I've subscribed

Excellent job Chloe 👏👏👏!!! You worked in a way that looaads of us do - not with all the proper kit or facilities, and modifying your approach along the way to achieve the goal. This one vid gets you this one subscription mate 👉👉👉, 'coz I wanna see more of the same, but with you growing and learning all along the way. I really like that closing quote as well 👍. 😎
This is absolutely awesome and I can't believe the final result looked so nice and comfy! I would like to make two suggestions though for improvements if you were to make this again: I'm assuming this bench is gonna sit outside, if that's the case you're better off painting the wood since it's the finish that lasts the longest and also try to minimize or eliminate altogether the wood sections where moisture can sit for prolonged periods of time (for example, wood that touches the ground or in your case, the space between the wood that you sit on and the tire above it). I believe decks are constructed in such a way to make these spots minimal but also they are painted with a special sealant iirc (asphaltic paint I think? )
Cool idea and execution! I am sure that there will be many people that will comment on your technique, but I am here to say I wish I could execute my ideas as well as you (especially with the limited tools) Keep it up!
Love this idea! I actually have the same ends from a dilapidated bench I found in the trash! Perhaps I'll finally make a bench from inspiration as well!
Great job! I was actually just in Germany and had planned to check out the bench Laura worked on but apparently there was a flood and the bench is no longer there. Good luck with the channel and the guerilla making :) subbed
Cool idea! Have you somehow prepared the edges of the tire, as the wires tend to stick out quite a bit. I used silicone but I am interested if there are some other good ideas.
Really like your idea and the result. Please try keep you head out of the line of the 'rotating plane' tools, like fx. angle grinders; that way they will easier miss you, if they break and start whizzing about. :-)
I subscribed to support the idea the idea of fixing things faster than they are broken. As a woodworker, I cringed at your techniques. More important, you persisted and created a piece of functional art. Your design is inspiring.
@@chloet7385 Probably. My goal would have been to produce a clean flat surface. I would start with a chisel and probably follow-up with a hand plane. This, of course, would not produce the textured result that I found intriguing. When doing quick and dirty work for theater sets I have used screw driver to pry chunks out. My goal is to break the piece close to the plane created by the saw kerfs. My "Cringe" is more about your securing the pieces you are working on (clamping stuff in place and using physics to secure your work).
hey , well, I think next time , post the picture of the bench on action, like with other people ejoying it that would be awesome, aldo I understand filming people can get weird ,
👍, i also follow Laura, probably how you ended up in my 'timeline'(?). 👏🇳🇱NL, so i could go visit the improved bench, rather check out her bikes though but i'll have to respect her Privatsphäre. Keep up the good work and feel free to correct my English.🤓
I really like this idea, would not have occurred to me. I wonder if the tyres are a bit narrow for 1 person? Not sure if it would work 2 tyres right next to each other though. Thinking out loud now... thanks for sharing. BTW, I misread the title and was briefly confused to see no Laura! Keep up the good work.
Guerilla Making FTW :) Like the creative use of materials. I would be a little worried about the screws holding the tire treads, they seem marginal in size, given the size of the average American ;) -also, please tell your neighbor to put the guard back on that angle grinder! Those things take off fingers in half a second!! Keep Making.
Good work. The coffee shop owner should give you a free coffee everyday :P. Want to see more of your work, you got a new sub. By the way, will any kind of spray paint stick those tires? if yes, then maybe a touch of paint would have made look even cooler.
Boiled linseed oil contains added chemicals as opposed to raw linseed. There is also a food grade linseed oil for cutting boards etc. I would be hesitant to interchange these products for consumption purposes. There is also a fire risk involved with spontaneous combustion from oil soaked rags. Please be aware of storage and disposal instructions. Cutting up and reusing old tires is a real chore but shows you are committed to a better world. The bench looks like it will now last longer than the original build.
Lol thank you for this reply, to be honest I was totally joking when I said you could cook with it in a pinch soooo hopefully no one goes and tries it!
Wow great work!!!
Dreams do come true, thanks so much Laura!!

A Laura Kampf follower here... She is inspirational. Loved your project.
She really is, thank you!
I honestly didn't understand how this would come together as a bench in the end, but holy crap that was sickk!
Yeah I wasn’t too sure either, part of the fun for me haha

Good call, I for sure considered getting a chisel for this project but I didn’t feel like going to the store haha, thanks for the kind comment!
Totally subscribed after watching this video. Can't wait to see more projects.
Can’t wait to make more! Thanks
Love the use of old material to give it a second life. :) Great build.
Nice inspiring project... and let the glue dry makes you a big fan of Laura Kampf ;-)
Definitely subscribing!
haha I truly am, I have been enjoying her videos for years!
The wink at ‘let glue dry’! 😂☺️🥰
glad you got that 😋
Nicely done! Keep up the great work!
Great use of materials, love it !
Awesome! The bend on the tyres when you installed them looks really comfortable and is so consistent between them, looks super pro 👍🏻
Thanks! I agree I love the way that they ended up bending!
Awesome bench! I love the way the tires look and it's a very good use of them.
Great concept, I would not have thought of this!
Thank you!
Wow.. so glad I found your videos. I'm all about recycle art and love the stuff you're coming up with! Keep 'em coming.. thanks!
Glad to hear you enjoyed!
Great work and nice editing. Subscribed and looking forward to watching you enhance your techniques in '22!
Thank you! I’m excited to continue to develop both my making and production skills!
Very cool bench, young lady. Laura is a fantastic inspiration, keep it up!

Keep making stuff. I'm your new fan. 😁
Awesome build, I really hope this catches Laura's eye.
you and me both haha
Muito legal!!! Os trabalho da Laura são maravilhosos!!!! Good luck!!!! Cool inspiration!!!!
I just found you channel today. Great job with the bench repair. I like to do similar projects with what ever I have on hand.

Thank you! I'm all about making due with what I have. And I appreciate the tip, I for sure need to work on my PPE and safety game =)
That is kick ass, very nice job! Here's hoping you hit that 500 by end of year!

Another very creative, cool piece. Looks more comfortable than the wooden bench!
This is amazing!!!! :)
It turned out amazing!

Cool recycling. If the bench is in the sun, you might not want to sit down in your shorts.
Wife material 10000000%
This should be a thing , just a bunch different and personal touch benches made a placed everywhere !!!!
Lmao why the black and white pic? it looks like she is dead and her last famous words were: "let glue dry".
also really nice project

Be careful with tires. They may be incredibly carcinogenic.

The most important question. Is it comfortable?? Hahahaha
It is pretty comfy!

Don't worry about the bench, the recent floods took it away along with a couple of villages
whut
4:13 I saw what you did there! 😉
You are wrong, it is not a pity that Laura lives in Germany. It is a pity that you live in America.
Like your Videos, keep up the good work! Maybe 1000 Subscribers til the end of 2021?! Greetings from Germany
Thank you!
Anything on your face is probably also in your lungs.
Don't think it's gorilla making of you're asking to help people out.
lol yeah… I considered just taking the bench
Also the metal in tires is for lightning strikes so you don't get fried if your car is struck
Nope, they are for structural reinforcement ot the tyre.
