My Volkswagen T5 has the worlds worst cupholder....I need to fix this! So i am building a complete center console from scratch. this is part one: the tambour "glove box"
love it! I have a compass like that I was looking for a use for it. But there is no cup holder showing in your photo, I guess I'll have to wait for the Video to find out.
th-cam.com/video/7VdXU2FxgzM/w-d-xo.html The compass still gets disturbed 😕 You see it moving back and forth, maybe the screw at the handle is already magnetised enough to cause this. You could check if you encounter the same behaviour with a messing screw that you used for the side?
Looks like a fantastic start. As it was coming to the end I was wondering "Where are the cupholders!?" I really appreciate your talent, creativity and skill.
Man! The camera angles, the moments, the colors... all so very beautiful. And that router with template combo makes a very tidy groove. Who wants to go to the workshop??? Me! Thanks, friend, for another inspirational video. Cheers!

And the perfect music! That 80's synth wave was really cool
Hey Laura. You just gave me a wonderful flashback. I don’t know if you’re aware, but back in the ‘70s and ‘80s when the big thing was to customize vans and trucks (here in USA), you’d see a bunch of consoles- with tambour! And of course, wall to wall shag carpet. No thanks. Anyway, when I got my first truck in the 80s it had a bench seat and, believe it or not, no cup holders. So my dads friend made me a tambour console with cup holders. Loved that truck, and you have brought me back to that time. So, thank you my dear for your increasingly amazing talent and irresistible loving nature you provide to all of us around the world. I’ve never not grinned while watching your videos. Many blessings from Texas. Troy
Love the cad work at the start (Cardboard Aided Design) Also love the honesty about the magnet screwup. That is the kind of mistake that everyone makes at some point.
Congratulations Laura, I learned a lot from you and your videos. and I got the courage to make my channel. eternally grateful. greetings from Brazil.😃🇧🇷👏
It's never a mistake if you learn from it. A brilliant idea and high time to got round to it. All in all a very worthwhile day. Loved the whole process. Please adopt me as a clean up boy. LOL
Great film. Love the magnet mistake. The console looks so cool, creamy like butter. I think you're now going to have to do an entire van makeover. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )
Really nice console so far. The felt in the channel was a nice alternative to magnet. Looking forward to part 2. I would recommend felt on the curve piece around the shifter and along any other surface the wood comes in contact with the plastic to minimize squeaks.
I've been subscribed to your Patreon page for more than a year but only for $1, and I honestly can't wait to bump it up more after following you for so long. The only thing that's holding me back is being on a really tight budget as a student, and I really just wanted to contribute whatever I could and not leave you completely unpaid for the amazing builds and content you upload! This build right here is another big reason why I love your videos is you have a very "normal" problem and you put so much creativeness with simplicity and such a big dose of personalization to "solve" these problems while being so resourceful as well. Love it!
Excellent start and very cool! Center consoles are personal. I build my own as well. There's no going wrong that way. Well, the magnet thing...... ROFL!!! Too funny 🤣!! Looked like a great idea to me too!! I'll wait for the rest of the build... this is cool 😎!
I love the way you reacted when you realized the magnet would interfere with the compass. I was wondering the same thing, then there you were with your awesome reaction. I want to be able to react like that to my mistakes someday. I love this, your videos are amazing.
Even though the console is only half finished, it's already amazing. ❤️ Find the idea with the compass also, apart from the great optics, absolutely fantastic. Especially for traveling with an unknown destination. And I love how you can laugh at yourself, anyone who cannot do that has more problems than a non-functioning compass.
Beautiful work. The compass is a nice touch but it made me grin. I had an uncle who always put a compass in every car he owned. I never understood it. But I didn't have to. It made him happy.
"hey, everybody, welcome to my new organized & unique shop" 😉🍀🙌 Nice idea, laura, and well done console. The sliding lid is awesome, congrats !!! See ya, blue skies 🍀📷
Your creativity, is amazing. The constant development of your skills, truly a inspiration to many. You give wonderful examples of reduce, reuse, repurpose. A lesson we all need to remember, in this disposable world.
She says "I have an idea..." and I get chills because you know it will be good. Then, as a pilot, I see "FAIL" and we have a compass issue.... Oh RATS, but fixed! Goodness but on my trips to/from Hawaii every week this is entertaining. Please keep it up
Really good looking combinaton of Wood and screws 😁👍 I also Like the Idea of a non working compass this makes your Van a bit like a vessel preowned by Jack Sparrow
Solltest dich nicht schämen Leute aufzufordern zum "subscribe". Es ist wie es ist, du bist auf TH-cam und vor allem Dank Abonnenten kannst du so weitermachen! Sehr schönes Teil, übrigens
Beautiful design and very practical. I would have like to see more on your stage of creating the cardboard proto. Your videos are always the highlight with my morning tea.
I love all your projects but this one has a roll top, which I've loved since I was a kid and a really nice quality whiskey compass...awesome thing that should be in all cars.
This is a very cool project. I love the cardboard template that you made and the sliding door/lid. The design is genius, to be sure. I look forward to part two. Thanks for the video.
you could put the magnet on the bottom of the box at the other end where the wood would have the metal stop to contact it when closed if the felt slips.
In my country we have a saying...,,only who s not working it s not mistaking"...so, don't worry...as long as a remedy is found, nothing is lost... anyway the outcome it s ... awesome nd brilliant!
The compass thing reminds me of when I found a bike bell with a compass in it for my touring bike and very excitedly bought it, only to realise it steadily pointed at the magnetic closure of my handlebar bag!
I usually find little “fails” or oops in many video builds on TH-cam. I completely missed this one🤦🏻 Not faulting anyone as I have had plenty of them myself and I’m sure I’ll have plenty more. Some of the fun is overcoming little challenges and creating something you are proud of. Great project. It not only repairs a poor design, it upgrades it as well and makes it your own. 👍😎 I learned a few things as well.
I like this woman. When she makes a mistake, she shows it.
And when she is happy, her smile invades my screen.
Thank you.
Amazing craftship and really satisfying (I don't want to say craftmanship obviously)

For the longest time German cars had no cup holders out of the principle that you should be focused on driving 😄

Thanks M! Can‘t wait until we can hang out in the shop together again. It’s been too long!!!
@@laurakampf Agreed 💯
This design gives me the impression of a luxury car from the 80's. The quality is remarkable and your build was fun to watch. Thanks

Can't believe anyone watching your channel and not subscribing. You are the best

Hahaha
Congratulations Laura, I learned a lot from you and your videos. and I got the courage to make my channel. eternally grateful. greetings from Brazil.😃🇧🇷👏
Ich drücke mich seit 1nem jahr vor dem gleichen Projekt für meinen T5. Schön zu sehen das du es gemacht hast.
It's never a mistake if you learn from it. A brilliant idea and high time to got round to it. All in all a very worthwhile day. Loved the whole process. Please adopt me as a clean up boy. LOL
I love your videos. Your smile, even when it goes wrong, is lovely to see. I just wish your videos were longer, I love watching you work so happily.
Really digging the synthwave music of this one 🎶
Great film. Love the magnet mistake. The console looks so cool, creamy like butter. I think you're now going to have to do an entire van makeover. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )
I love the way you prototype with cardboard, super smart and practical!
This is really nice! I love seeing close-ups of your hands, they are beautiful!
I love tambour doors and you make it look very possible for me to follow. Your skills are like tambour parkour! Extremely good. Thanks L
Looking good Laura. Looking forward to Part 2. All the best.
Beautiful! I'm so happy to have discover your channel! All ideas and your work are stunning. I'm starting now with old videos..
Looks very cool - the black with the mahogany is a great contrast. Cheers Laura and thanks for sharing another awesome video. Happy Sunday :)
that console is looking fantastic cannot wait to see the rest of it completed.
LOVE IT!!! I want to see a whole build series for the interior now. MOAR! :D
You really surpassed yourself on this one, Laura. Soooo pleasing to watch.Thank you!!!
The screw heads are in line...🥰...! My OCD fell in love with you!
Really nice console so far. The felt in the channel was a nice alternative to magnet. Looking forward to part 2. I would recommend felt on the curve piece around the shifter and along any other surface the wood comes in contact with the plastic to minimize squeaks.
I love seeing your prototype process! Nothing too fancy, just cardboard. But cut and glued into the right shape and size!

Don‘t worry about Patreon! Enjoy being a student and drink a coffee or a beer more rather than bumping up the support :)
Excellent start and very cool! Center consoles are personal.
I build my own as well. There's no going wrong that way. Well, the magnet thing...... ROFL!!! Too funny 🤣!! Looked like a great idea to me too!! I'll wait for the rest of the build... this is cool 😎!
That was crazy satisfying to watch. Love the look of the finished product!
I love the way you reacted when you realized the magnet would interfere with the compass. I was wondering the same thing, then there you were with your awesome reaction. I want to be able to react like that to my mistakes someday. I love this, your videos are amazing.
Big fun Laura! Please remove the screw also, because it's magnetic too. You see a slight movement when it reaches the side of the compass!
I love the customization skills you're applying to your daily drive.
I started giggling when you were adding the magnet. Part of why I love you so much is how you show the "oops" so well.
oohh Laura! this is a good one, staring out so tidy with the tambour roller too, cant wait to see it with charger and cup holders!
Your projects are always different and entertaining 🚙
Even though the console is only half finished, it's already amazing. ❤️
Find the idea with the compass also, apart from the great optics, absolutely fantastic. Especially for traveling with an unknown destination.
And I love how you can laugh at yourself, anyone who cannot do that has more problems than a non-functioning compass.
Beautiful work. The compass is a nice touch but it made me grin. I had an uncle who always put a compass in every car he owned. I never understood it. But I didn't have to. It made him happy.
That’s all the reason he needed :)
WOW - that is incredible !!!! WELL DONE!!! It is just AWESOME!!
This is a stunning piece. Thanks for showing the magnet fail. I would make the same mistake for sure.
That is a funny fail 😂😂 Take a special person to shoe their fails. Looking good so far, looking forward to pt2
Gosh everything is so beautiful. Amazing work friend.
"hey, everybody, welcome to my new organized & unique shop" 😉🍀🙌
Nice idea, laura, and well done console. The sliding lid is awesome, congrats !!! See ya, blue skies 🍀📷
Your creativity, is amazing. The constant development of your skills, truly a inspiration to many. You give wonderful examples of reduce, reuse, repurpose. A lesson we all need to remember, in this disposable world.
Replacing the steel screws with brass really elevated it - it looks really good
Beautiful work. I can’t wait to see the rest of the build.
Loved the "damn it" with the magnet mistake!Always great projects Laura. You are an inspiration to us all.
I wondered what CAD Design stood for, now I know Cardboard Aided Design .. 👍
I really like how you often combine these different types of material and it always harmonize. Pretty good project
I wish I had someone like you in my life. Love your content.
So great to see your work everytime! Thanks for sharing!
Great job, the people in Wolfsburg could learn a thing or two from this video 😄
She says "I have an idea..." and I get chills because you know it will be good. Then, as a pilot, I see "FAIL" and we have a compass issue.... Oh RATS, but fixed! Goodness but on my trips to/from Hawaii every week this is entertaining. Please keep it up
Really good looking combinaton of Wood and screws 😁👍
I also Like the Idea of a non working compass this makes your Van a bit like a vessel preowned by Jack Sparrow
This looks stunning. Only one problem now, you need to make the whole dashboard in wood.
I don't think that's a problem. Of course I'm not the one who has to build it so...
Vw woody
Ohh yea. Steering wheel, gear shift might be nice additions.
yeah I agree, she needs to rebuild the whole dashboard now
Geht rid of all the Plastik in this Carl!
Solltest dich nicht schämen Leute aufzufordern zum "subscribe". Es ist wie es ist, du bist auf TH-cam und vor allem Dank Abonnenten kannst du so weitermachen! Sehr schönes Teil, übrigens
looking forward to the second part. Cool box.
Beautiful design and very practical. I would have like to see more on your stage of creating the cardboard proto. Your videos are always the highlight with my morning tea.
Great project. Every van needs a console with cup holders. Great lesson on CAD for design. ( cardboard aided design of course)
loving this! Also loving that you're not using gloves while using your saws!
The wood comes out so impressive and nice!!! And the project is a good one too, I think! We are homeworkers, we solve our problems ourself!
Wow…sieht gscheid lässig aus 😍 …Besonders der Rollladen is mega 🙌🏻
Grüße aus Österreich🇦🇹 👋🏼
What a fantastic project! Thanks for walking us through it.
Love it! The magnet mistake was too funny. I missed it too.
Ist sehr cool geworden, besonders diese Schiebeabdeckung. Muss ich auch mal probieren. 👍
Nice annecdote with the magnet ;). Good project again.
Loved the video, and all in 4k very fun to watch!
Gotta love that high tech CAD design process you used. You know, Cardboard Aided Design.
I love all your projects but this one has a roll top, which I've loved since I was a kid and a really nice quality whiskey compass...awesome thing that should be in all cars.
Hi Laura , your work is amazing
Awesome work, really enjoy all your videos and the creative process.
Nice center console Laura, and classic misstate. Looking forward to Episode two: the search for more cup holders.
That looks spectacular, great job as usual.🤩
This is awesome, Laura! The mess-up was hilarious! Keep up the good work!
The tambor is a really great idea for the center console
you've inspired so many of my 4x4 sleeping and living upgrades, keep up the good work love seeing all the van, moto and other transport builds!!
Damn you Science! Getting in the way of progress EVERY SINGLE TIME! :D
Very nice. I like the color choices you made.
This is a very cool project. I love the cardboard template that you made and the sliding door/lid. The design is genius, to be sure. I look forward to part two. Thanks for the video.
I was waiting for the failed moment! 😄 You are very funny.
So much love from someone in Cologne to Laura in Cologne :D
This is insane work and very cool woodworking process 🔥👍.
Happy Sunday!🌞
you could put the magnet on the bottom of the box at the other end where the wood would have the metal stop to contact it when closed if the felt slips.
Super! Good job Laura. I need this for my VW Multivan too. I will wait for the next video and after that I build it too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Way cool and beautiful! Congrats! Well done.
Ooo! Ha! Great workaround! I love your always-expandng use of materials and techniques. Thank you.
Another brilliant video and interesting project. Looking forward to part 2!
In my country we have a saying...,,only who s not working it s not mistaking"...so, don't worry...as long as a remedy is found, nothing is lost... anyway the outcome it s ... awesome nd brilliant!
Love your projects. Beautiful and so functional. 🤘🤘💚👽
I love your videos, you are so talented. Great idea and so unique.
Laura, as usual... Good job!!!

Great project. It not only repairs a poor design, it upgrades it as well and makes it your own.
👍😎
I learned a few things as well.
Great music, esp in the tambour making part
You're awesome I love to see you work.
As someone who has aquired a new (to me) vehicle this inspires me to fix the cd holder in between the front seats that I hate.
That thing is beautiful. Love your content. 👍
Buen trabajo Laura. Tiene un aspecto elegante, podría ir en un velero de lujo. Saludos desde BCN.
You are 👏 Thanks. Can't wait for part 2
The magnet fail does prove that it's a good compass. Great box build. 👍
