- This week it was time to build an oak door for my camper.
i decided to go with a dutch door design because that is very practical for camping. the door also has a little look out window for my dog Smudo :)

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Would this door prevent gases from exiting a room? I'm looking to get rid of lice
Me too did you try this one yet? I found some on a german website they say they’re tried and tested might give them a try!
@noxvi4753 Those claims seem far-fetched to me but who am I to question their narrative?
This is extremely enjoyable, watching the gradual progression and build out.
Watching you use all the skills, hacks and experience you've learned over the years is really inspiring.
...Plus, that roll-out shelving unit is wicked!
The split door became a thing after the “Duty on Lights and Windows” late 17th century, as it was classified as door, but could act as a window.
Stable door for the horse trailer: How fitting!
The wiki article is interesting. Explains the whole bricked up windows as well to avoid the tax, ready to be reglazed when the tax went away. Some called it a tax on "light and air" which does make it sound even crazier.
Fits quite well by the look of it 🤣
Cool hack gluing the wood to the plywood for a reference face:)
I had the same thought, gets listed on my internal how to list
Scrolled through looking for this comment so I wouldn't make a redundant comment...that is a cool technique.
Using a thicknesser as a jointer....
@@noremorsewoodworking2258 you're from the UK? In the US the terminology is a bit different. We call a thicknesser a plane, and a plane a jointer!
The reason she glued the style to the piece of plywood is because it was twisted. Otherwise most of what she does leaves me scratching my head.
This kind of door is called "Klönschnack-Tür" in northern Germany. Was build for old houses....so called "Friesenhaus".
Greetings from a small village near Flensburg / Germany
I came for the joinery, and stayed for the language lesson. I'll probably end up forgetting this, but thank you for the additional vocabulary :)
Or shorter a Klöntür a little further south. At least around here, the traditional way of building those seems to have mostly been a tilted cut rather than the additional strip of wood - obviously, either works just fine.
Called a stable door in other places. Perfect to let in air but keep in the dog!
Boerendeur in the Netherlands; 'farm door'.
That polystyrene jig saw trick though.... 🤯
Right??? I never would've thought of that. I would've fumbled with the oiece, precariously balancing between messing up my work and losing a finger. This solution seems so onvious, I feel kinda dumb, haha.
I know! I saw it in her stories and... well, my life changed that day!
You can do a similar technique with insulating foam and a circular saw: put the foam on the ground, your large sheet of ply on top and then make your blade barely deeper than the wood you're sawing.
Please don’t. Bad for your health and for the enviroment.
Where’s that?
Did she just look at us? Shoot, she's knows we're watching her work. Now I'm embarrassed.
3:42 Such a cool shot! Awesome job, the door is beautiful! And so happy Smudo used his lookout window. I laughed so hard when I watched your story and you tried to get him to use it and he just walked out the other side you said “Dammit!”. 😂😂😂 Anyway, fantastic work!
I am amused that she named her dog after a 90's German hip hop artist..hallo hu hu ich bin der Schmu, wer bist du?
Świetna robota🙂
I think that there's something deeply philosophical about that "LET GLUE DRY" steel block. In projects like this (and most other things in life) you can't get decent results if you try to rush or force things. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to happen and events to unfold and plan around the things you can not affect or change.
That said I hereby petition to have "LET GLUE DRY" t-shirts and stickers in Laura's shop and I definitely need a miniature version of that block as a paperweight for my desk.
Stickers are a cool idea! I will look into it!
Just "let glue dry"...yes!
I am VERY on board with this idea! The "Let Glue Dry" block deserves more recognition!
But definitely in your very typical lettering type, I love that style.
I was thinking the same thing! A Let Glue Dry white on black tshirt would look amazing
So satisfying when it all fits together! ☺️💪
7:26 That smile of satisfaction is lovely, you are so very talented.
I love that along with the way she runs her finger or thumb over the piece she's just been working on. 'Definitely into it.
Is one of the features that it can be completely air tight?
It's kind of funny how her name is Laura KAMPF.
Holy Shit
I love that trick of using expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) to jigsaw on, I am so stealing that idea, thank you hun xx
You should be careful calling a german "hun" she might not like that
Please don’t. It’s bad for your health and it shoots microplastics everywhere.
When you started cutting the door on half I was like, omg what is she doing 😱. Ahaahaha
0:28 People will soon be calling you 'Nine Finger Laura'! =O
A Push Stick costs less than a finger!
She should try for a sponsorship from MicroJig.
It wasn't close. So heavy and long board, AND with a saw stop, I would say she was pretty safe.
PS. Don't be THAT guy
Nice carpentry :) and quite enjoyable to watch, greets from Stuttgart 💚
Lovely job. My daughter indignantly pointed out that "she needs a handle". I told her you will have this under control for sure! Thanks for sharing
Erictheviking ! Looks like the man with the bandaged hand needs your daughter’s advice instead.
She is very smart
10:53 Smudo looking out of the glass! How cool!
Yes, he looked so happy. I wonder if Laura will make a scaled-down version of the door for Smudo?
i hadn't considered wood for a door on my horse trailer... huh? perhaps ill stick with steel and have it dbl as a ramp. nut the upper half wood may be an option ;)
Awesome work Laura! Love it, and enjoyed the premier launch. Thanks for another great video! Set my inspiration off nicely for a day of making myself now. 🙌🏻😊
5.09 yes it fits. Anyone whose ever made anything knows that feeling👍
Witam,śledzę Twój kanał od dawna i wreszcie ruszyłem że swoim kanałem #diydesign #Łukasz #Czerniawski jestem zachwycony Twoimi projektami i ogromnym fanem,pozdrawiam gorąco,Masz świetne filmy, masz może dla mnie jakieś wskazówki na początek?
Laura, your work and creativity are over the top with this build! What a great looking door and your craftsmanship is amazing! Thanks for posting, inspiring for sure :^)
Ach! Ne Klöntür haste gemacht! Geil, will ich auch haben für meine Werkstatt. Dann kann ich die 100Jahre alte klapprige, zugige Stalltür wegschmeißen.
5:51 new face who dis? :) Also nice Video.
Your videos always inspire me to continue making things and being creative! So excited to see how the camper turns out!
Jointer?... Pfah....who needs a jointer.... I have a flat board and hot glue.. :D Well done, Laura...well done....
A little tip;
When chiselling downwards, across the grain, grab the chisel handle with the thumb at the end of the chisel handle. (As if holding a staff)
Then when you push down, use your shoulder to push, its more effective, and controllable.
Good idea, ill give this ago myself
Great project and video. Music is on point. Looking forward to seeing the trailer progress.
Beautiful door. How do I like to see the way you work.
Smudo hate trailers. Even bigger ones 😂 Stay safe
Smudo at the end - "Doors? Where we're going we don't need... doors..."
Nick Johnson explanation please 🤔😛
Toll gemacht, wie immer.
Neben der handwerklichen Leistung muss ich auch mal die Videoqualität loben:
Die Perspektive, der Schnitt, alles super: Es macht allein deshalb schon Spaß, Deine Videos zu schauen.
Und dann kommt das eigentliche Projekt noch dazu :-)
Vielen Dank und mach bitte weiter so!
Nice! A Dutch door (that what I've always known them as) for the camper is a great idea. Additionally, I really dig the sign on the wall that says, "Every defect gets repsect". Being I have numerous "defects" I can identify with that sentiment. At least, I'm 93% sure that's what it says.
Auf deutsch auch Klöntür genannt.
7:25 That smile says it all 😊
Idk how 140 people could dislike this video.
I've seen all sorts of tricks for jointing a board face with a planer, but that hot glue trick is definitely the most efficient and simple.
Very cool. And you got Smudo to look out the window for a little bit too :)
That was perfect. Your craftsmanship is out of this world. I watched this twice and love the way you created a door fitting with the theme of your trailer. Thank you for sharing your video and have a fantastic week! 👍
I love it when you let the glue dry.
Looking forward to the next in the series Laura!! Can’t wait to see how the layout inside is managed..Should be coming soon
really cool, find it very inspiring and you give enough info to make it feel like it is a achievable.
It’s always easier when you take big projects step by step
I enjoy watching people get things done, especially when they make it look easy. You do that.
What a "meisterstück"!!! Laura! I don't get those thumbs down...I'm in love with your work❤️😉😍👍❤️🙏🤩
the 5:08 smile when everything went together is priceless!!
Great work on this door
You are quite a craftsman! Great to see someone who takes pride in their work.
Really enjoying watching this come together, it's such a great overall project but each part of it is great on its own as well.
It was excellent !! 👍😎Great memories. I was watching the video and remembering my father ... He was an excellent joiner and carpenter.
Not only him, but all my uncles, cousins, brothers and me. We are a large family of carpenters, joiners and sawmills.
Good Sunday Laura 🌼🌸
Als ehemaliger Fenster und Türenbauer lacht das Herz bei sowas. Hast du gut hinbekommen. Im mobilen Einsatz wird das echt interessant. 😎 Sie wird gut arbeiten - das ist aber normal. ✌
Schönes WE @ll
Ich bin auch gespannt. Aber einen Versuch ist es wert! Ich lass beim Rahmen ein bisschen Luft damit sie nicht so schnell klemmt
Qué bueno con Laura estoy aprendiendo a construir mi camper y también inglés Happy to meet you Laura
Getting along nicely there! With the risk of sounding like a negative person: looks good, but a few remarks/suggestions/pointers/concerns. The dowels you used are fine for indoor use, but not for exterior use, because they are made from beech. Better use oak or another outdoorsy type of wood. I know that that it won’t be exposed that much, but still a detail to follow up on over the years. If you want to do the sawdust trick: better apply the glue and then sand it in with a sanding paper. Adding the dust isn’t as effective ;-) And please be careful or stop using styrofoam or insulation foam as a backer for cutting all together. I know it’s super convenient and all.. But it’s so bad for your health and for the environment (it shoots micro-particles everywhere).
Sam Ponette - The styrofoam is fine. It’s not like she is sitting there huffing the particles. If you pay attention, you’ll notice very little is actually airborne. If you don’t like it, don’t do it, but don’t tell others what to do. It makes you sound like some whacked out, eco-fascist.
Given the care that is going into the design and construction of this camper, and especially its door, I expect both will far outlast most commercially produced ones. The real door is the horse ramp and it's going to be closed, latched, locked, and covering the oak door except on the occasions when Ms Kampf is actually camping. The abrasions of traffic and living are the factors that wear campers down. Few last beyond a decade unless they are stored under cover and rarely used. But beyond that the oak screen and main entry doors in my house remain sound after 90 years of continuous exposure to harsh alpine weather. When Ms Kampf scraps-out this camper in 2035, the door will be one of the parts that is salvaged for re-use.
The fabrication of the arc template, together with the reuse of the styrofoam packing blocks to support the work piece while using the saber saw is both clever and efficient. While I agree that we need to reduce the environmental load of this ubiquitous waste material, otherwise headed directly to the dump, the notion that recycling it in this way is worse for the environment or general human health is a stretch. It unavoidably comes into our homes. Far better that we get at least some additional use out of it before sending it off (hopefully to be recycled) to the land fill.
The Love of Woodworking by Laura
Applause 👏 Nicely made perfection.
I would shake your hand any time. 🤝
Great film. Love how you "act" with your fingers. : ) Door is beautiful, can't wait to see it all done. Mahalo for sharing! : )
You look so happy you deserve a thumb up just for that.
Absolutely awesome 👍 and it shows very good how „modern“ tools can simplify the work compared to the traditional way of building a door. Both has its benefits but with the right tools you save a lot of time. Cheers
Well done, love it!! Thanks!

I love the way you edit your videos.. the music,angles etc.... great on a Sunday morning...
Fantastic skills Laura! Looking forward to the finished trailer. Stay safe and keep busy!
You gave me a great idea to make curved shape without a router table! Thank you miss :*
Eigentlich ist das Projekt egal, ich warte immer nur auf das zufriedene Lachen, wenn du fertig bist! So müsste es in der Schule sein...
Am schönsten ist es natürlich immer, wenn man das selber im Gesicht hat, aber es ist eine wahre Freude, das bei anderen zu sehen!
So geht es mir immer, wenn ich 30 korrigierte Arbeiten der Klasse zurückgebe, ...
nicht!
Ich stehe auch auf deiner Seite des Pults....

Nice job Laura, great craftsmanship. Do you also notice that when you have done something that was totally new and it works, that you have to go back and look at it again and again. This definitely looks like one of those cases. Proper job 👍
Excellent, EXCELLENT work either for how it came and for the really sharp solutions you adopted, not to mention the evident satisfaction from your smile at every passage.
👍👍😎🍺🍩🔧🔨
Great video. Love the beat of the music, awesome choice. My favorite part of your videos is that smile you make in the middle of a project when things are fitting together. We all do it. We all know that feeling. That's the best feeling during a project to have.
loved the build, as I always do. Loved the secret tips- hot melting the slab to a planed face, sawdust mixed with glue. Those kinds of little details, shared without a word, whereas other makers need to make a whole video just about them, jabbering away. Thanks again!
The moment when you split the door in two.... sooo good! This video was exceptionally visually pleasing. #WoodMeditation
tolle Arbeit liebe Laura und besonders toll finde ich das du hier massives Holz verwendet hast!
Gruß von meinem Kanal,
Tobi
Quite a project with a ton of complexity to it. My deepest respect, as always. All the best from Duisburg.
Loved the look out for Smudo the second I saw it's a clear window on the bottom part :D
I love watching you work, you always make such amazing things.
I really hope I can be as creative as you some day :)
AMAZING WORK LAURA! I love to see that smile and look fo accomplishment on your face when you see things are coming together like you planned. 🙂👍🏼
I need to know where to get those pants with that nifty pocket on the side!!! Where ?!?!
Bis du sicher, dass du keine professionelle Schreinerin bist? ;) Sieht super aus. Danke fürs Zeigen
Gruß Sascha
Excellent flow of information. Like definitely.
I am engaged in restoration and DIY, who are interested in visiting.
Quality, fantastic design. Pleasure to view, thank you very much. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality
one of the best skilled workers i have seen i take my hat off to you............FESTOOL RULES ;0}
Laura, I liked how you used the hot glue gun. Especially when planing the warped board.

What a beautiful door. Especially that you built it in one piece and then cut it in half is amazing
Nice video !
Nice!👍🧡..
You're always clever 😉
💯⚘💚
I alway hit the thumbs up 👍before I even watch your Video because I know it will be FANTASTIC 😁😁😁 GREAT JOB
Another interesting project Laura , out of interest, how did you get the SawStop sawbench ? did you buy a 240v version or an American machine and get it converted to EU norm? Keep these videos coming, I might eventually get to making a few myself, all the best Karl W
Awesome Laura , keep going . Very cool project .

Hi Laura, another great vid, in England we call that sort of door a Stable door as it allows the horse to stay in the stable but preventing the horse from escaping into the wild.
Looking forward to your next instalment for your tiny home???.
That's interesting. In the US, it would be a "dutch door". I don't know if that means "Dutch", or if it's a corruption of "Deutsch", or something else altogether.
I didn't read the video description, I saw the video and excitedly clicked. When you laid your saw on it to cut it in half. I said to my computer screen "No! What are you doing?" Then it dawned on me, split door, cool idea.
It's so nice that she thought of her dog while building this.
Whilst there is no doubt that Laura's skill set is superlative, what does concern me (& it's a feature of almost all her presentations), is the lack of protective eye & ear wear - the velocity of wood chips/sawdust coming off the workpiece is insanely high (& wearing a forward-facing peaked cap will only serve to trap those particles, richocheting into the orbital cavities) - I would not risk losing an eye for the sake of placing a pair of goggles/glasses over them. What is more ironic, is that (she) sports sunglassses - to protect those self same eyes from the sun's glare (UV output). For someone so incredibly brilliant, the ever-present dangers appear to relegate that intelligence to 'low'. It's flirting with disaster.
The trick you used to cut the curved part of the door with a small piece of wood was really nice. I am looking forward to seeing the camper progress every week.
Laura! Please use safety measures!
A push stick for starters.
If you injure your beautiful hands you can’t make these wonderful videos.
Please use safety measures.
We love you.
But wait, why rip wide stock and then glue up a wide piece? And I didn't quite follow the hot glue lam on the plywood. Can you explain what that was for? Great video tho and the background music was a perfect soundtrack to the vid.
New subscriber :) Nice craftsmanship! I was thinking "Noooo!" when you made that cross cut in half. But, great idea!!
What happened to your jointer planer? I first started watching your channel because you surfaced boards faces on your jointer. Many people don't know how to take cups and twists out of a board with a jointer. I am still wondering where you got your woodworking skills.
Das Video ist der Hammer! Bin schwer beeindruckt, Hut ab!
Laura magnificent work, I love it, the boxhorse is already taking shape !! I want to see how you will do the interior !!! A question the silver colored screws with washers, I do not know how I can find them to buy them, I love them !!!
In german they are called „Spengler Schraube“ maybe that helps
You are an inspiration, I love your work. Please make a beginner series for those who want to enter the realm of makers but have close to zero their experience working with wood, metal and other materials and tools
Un arte muy lindo. Exelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia. Eres muy inteligente.
I wish you would include personal commentating instead of the music. However, the Craftsmanship is great
Weird that she has a $3k table saw but no jointer. That is a neat trick she did with her planer to essentially joint it and get it flat but why not spend the money to get the right tool and do it properly. If you're going to do that level of carpentry you should have as good a jointer and planer as you do table saw. She's using a simple Ridgid planer. Ridgid sells a good inexpensive jointer as well at Home Depot for $700.
too bad the domino 500 has only 25mm length. 10mm width domino could be longer. I make my own 10mm floating tenons with a router and a cmt carbide spiral bit, so my hardwood homemade dominos can be 32mm length, wich is ok for 10mm width
