I don't think you stopped smiling throughout this entire video. 😁 It's infectious! And you should know something about being happy. You built a Happiness Machine after all. Enjoy your new tool. Thanks for sharing!
"Trading is like buying but instead of giving away a currency you give away potential, so you are trading potencial for potencial..." That is a really accurate definition!
But how did the second fork lift arrive at the destination so that it could fork lift the fork lift back down? 🤔 Were there even more fork lift involved? Or just ramps?
If this channel just becomes Laura trading and up cycling items... I am all in! I love that you’ve made these connections with your community and brought some underloved older items back to life.
Best of Luck Laura. You know one of lifetime obsessions is to have just a tiny version of your workshop and unleash space for creativity. Really wish you all the best and all people have such doing and creating attitude. :)
Herzlichen Glueckwunsch Laura! You are my sunshine! Never stop smiling, und lass` Dir niemals von irgendetwas Angst machen! Danke fuer all` Deine Videos und dass Du sie teilst mit uns!
We just got an amazing quote from Laura! "Invest in the things that make u happy"! Spoken by like a true artist! And something we all should think about moving forward from this period! Happy fork-lifting!
You bring so much joy in my daily life You have a such communicative energy and smile You have so much ingenuity and imagination I love you and you videos and Smudo, please continue your so great job !!!
What a big smile!!! Remember it's very handy to keep a sturdy pallet stored somewhere, great for loading a lot of smaller stuff on and moving together around the space. I have an ancient forklift at work we call 'Gertie'. She is very quirky and has fuel line issues but once you know her quirks, she goes forever. Enjoy your new forklift
This video really cheered me up and it is nice to see someone who thinks for themselves and has not been drawn into the throw away culture of consumerism, the world would be a nicer place if we had more creative people like you.
Thanks Laura, that was great. Your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious and I don't mind being infected by that! You never know what is going to inspire someone to move towards something better so talking about what you did to get where you are now throws a lot of sparks in the air, some of them are going to ignite the imagination of someone out here. I had a big grin from ear to here after watching this. Thanks again!
LAURA I've been following you on your journey from the beginning, and it's so nice to see you happy, glowing ,and growing . God bless you girl you deserve this and every little thing this thing called life. Well keep on rocking out your projects and videos. And thank you for sharing your experience and journeys with us all Hello from the USA and South Florida Be good , stay safe and healthy Daren♥️
Great story around buying new equipment! I think it needs the same paint job as your welding helmet. To see a ladybug carry a bridgeport is a great visual!
Hi Laura. Just a little comment because I found your channel about a month ago. I have spent hours devouring your videos and I am so inspired by your projects, your attitude and documentation. Thank you for sharing. I've even decided to get myself my first Leatherman as a Xmas present to myself this year! :D Can't wait to watch the house development in real time. :) All the best, Hanna
I used to (poorly) drive a forklift like this at my dad's shop. It's how I learned to drive stick (again, poorly) Fond memories, and I can almost smell the exhaust hearing it start!
An excellent trade, Laura! I answered the poll with “camper,” but I completely agree that a forklift was the best choice for you. Congrats on the success in your journey. I look forward to watching.
Awesome... Trading or bartering is the way to go. Many years ago my husband and I belonged to a church and a group of young married couples. We all had different skills and professions, we never paid each other but traded skills. Plumbing, carpentry, sewing , whatever. After 43 years we are still friends with those that are still around. Love your channel and your work ethic. Your projects are great.
I was watching Diesel Creek this morning, and someone mentioned your channel. after seeing this video and your shop, I suppose I will be binge watching your old videos for the next few days. I think I may be hooked, from a retired machinist-tool maker-machine repairman-wannabe farmer and dreamer 😎
Laura, you are ALWAYS welcome in my home. You have always been. And you will always be. Thank you for another great, Sunday morning video. And I will see you again next week.
Congrats on your new toy! This is so inspiring. I am moving homes and this is giving me new thoughts on why I should keep or toss some of my items and tools. Can't wait to see more of what you do⚡ much love.
WOW! list of things I have wanted but don´t need: Big office style copy machine Bobcat tractor (I live in an appartment) chainsaw and.... a fork lift!!!! nice trade!!!!!
Laura I have a tip for you. I was in the recreation vehicle industry for many years. The holes in the forks came to use a lot. A welded sleeve with a big bolt welded to chain and sleeve. One sleeve had a trailer ball welded to it the other a cup. I sometimes had to move travel trailers and 5th wheels sometimes in tight areas. Forward and backward. I wouldn’t tell you if you bought a little baby fl they can topple-but the size you got is about what I had. Great yard tow machine.
Your positivity and fearlessness are so inspiring. After watching this, I feel like I am capable of so much. I think I might have potential like your forklift!
Forklift a Forklift,what a good scene!!!and as always the Soundtrack is fab...I wonder where you get your music.I love to see you so uplifted.May the Fork be with you!!!🐻
Hey Laura, what a awesome evolution of your videos! The core to show the process didn't change, but in this video you fully show us the process of trading a Forklifter. What a wonderful story witch give us a view how do you decide such things. 😊👍 And Harry is know the No. 1 Person on the most wanted people list of the maker scene!!! 🤘😎😁😂 Thank you for this well told story! 🙏
@@laurakampf The different sources like proshot, gopro and smartphone needed to get on one format. That should be tricky I think. But you have so much more room to produce a life driven Story. It's a little bit like the podcast, not only the quality is important, the content is the key to the heart of a viewer. 😊
Yes!....i can totally understand the potential trade...I have a 1947 Towmotor forklift, its needs a little work, but i love it lol....its so essential for the artist in their shop,
Uauuuuu!!! FELICITACIONES!!! La verdad Laura, se te ve totalmente feliz y radiante con la adquisición!!! Que lo disfrutes!!! Tu alegría es contagiosa! German, Montevideo, Uruguay
Oh my God... I saw your movie with tears of happiness in my eyes ;-). Go girl and make your dreams come true, you deserve it! I can imagine what will come with this in the future. Happy for you!
@Laura Kampf why did I just have the biggest smile watching this? It’s awesome to see the simple things that make you happy. For a second there I thought you meant the trade was your new bar (that you traded a very expensive tool). 🤣🤣🤣
I have been told that workshops are gaseous: they expand to completely fill whatever space they are in. I love the tiny forklift. It's so cute. I have also been told that forklifts don't have horns to honk, but this forklift, spiritually, goes "meep meep!"
2:11 "Nostalgia alone doesn't justify hoarding stuff."
Well said, Laura.
Excellent quote.
I love the storytelling style this time, it worked perfectly.
awww, thank you!! i enjoyed putting it together!
Fellow me guys
I don't think you stopped smiling throughout this entire video. 😁 It's infectious! And you should know something about being happy. You built a Happiness Machine after all. Enjoy your new tool. Thanks for sharing!
"Trading is like buying but instead of giving away a currency you give away potential, so you are trading potencial for potencial..." That is a really accurate definition!
Laura always has excellent philosophical reflections.
Oh sorry... youve already mensioned it... Memo to me: read all the comments first
I hope you watched the Staplerfahrer Klaus training video before driving for the first time! ;)
Where I could watch that video trainning, please!!! Thanks
Indeed. That has been used at my work as an training video for our students who are learning forklift driving and such. :D
th-cam.com/video/jbInxdkHxk0/w-d-xo.html
of course!! just to refresh the memory
Klaus will be viral now.. ...
Laura, if you got a Komatsu out of the trade, you definitely got a good deal ;-) Take care of it and it'll last a long time!
Fellow me guys
@@mohamedobaid-c1y no
Komatsu von hanomag aus Hannover? 😅
I never imagined I could enjoy a video about a forklift so greatly!
thats a really good compliment! thanks!
A fork lift fork lifting a fork lift. Made me Happy, for some reason. 🤔🤩
But how did the second fork lift arrive at the destination so that it could fork lift the fork lift back down? 🤔 Were there even more fork lift involved? Or just ramps?
@@CDehning A clowder of cats. An army of caterpillars. What does one call a group of gathered fork lifts?
@@kneau A rise of fork lifts.
This is how new fork lifts are made :)
A G N O M I N A A prong of fork lifts, perhaps? ;)
Watch next week when Laura turns an old forklift into a camping grill.
I think you are right 😁 TH-cam algorithm showed me this next...
Laura Kampf's Grill Vid from a week before 😂

3:20 even Tony Stark is helping you out with your stuff in his freetime... Girl you've made it!!!
MY thoughts exactly
Practically, you are trading memories for smiles and backwards.
yes! that sums it up perfectly
On Point!👌 Wonderful!
Yesssss! #lifegoals congratulations Laura! Now you can reorganize your shop every day!
In my garage/shop I call it rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And almost every time I think 'this is perfect'.
"invest in the things that make you happy" is the best advice in life. Lovely.
If this channel just becomes Laura trading and up cycling items... I am all in! I love that you’ve made these connections with your community and brought some underloved older items back to life.
The guy Laura is trading stuff with looks like Tony Stark...so that's where Stark got all his genius ideas - it was you!
I thought the same thing!
Best of Luck Laura. You know one of lifetime obsessions is to have just a tiny version of your workshop and unleash space for creativity.
Really wish you all the best and all people have such doing and creating attitude. :)
picking up a forklift with a forklift is weirdly adorable 😍
That was really a great trade. Thanks for letting us be a part of your creative life.
Herzlichen Glueckwunsch Laura! You are my sunshine! Never stop smiling, und lass` Dir niemals von irgendetwas Angst machen! Danke fuer all` Deine Videos und dass Du sie teilst mit uns!

right?
I love the nervous excitement your acquisition caused. I also love how you are in tune with brings you joy. ❤️
Your excitement is contagious. I hope you enjoy your forklift as much as I enjoy your videos.
Your joy is so genuine and so palpable! I couldn't help but smile watching this. Enjoy the new forklift!!

Now, Laura's officially UNSTOPPABLE anymore. Congrats! I'm happy for you ☺️
We just got an amazing quote from Laura! "Invest in the things that make u happy"! Spoken by like a true artist! And something we all should think about moving forward from this period! Happy fork-lifting!
Congratulations Laura! Your shop looks so much better as a result.
I really love the mixture of vertical, phone, and camera video! It added so much to the overall flow of the story.
thanks! i enjoy that mix too!
Turning the Peter Parker Quote in a Laura Kampf Quote is as genuis as trading a Camper for a forklift...
🤘😁🕸️🕷️
hahaha, thanks! we should get shirts!
I'm am not big in comics, but wasn't the quote from uncle ben?
@@laurakampf I immediately thought: "that would make a good shirt"
Such a great way to share a lesson, advice, inspiration and a bit of fun! Congratulations on your new shop addition!!
You bring so much joy in my daily life
You have a such communicative energy and smile
You have so much ingenuity and imagination

Put a beer tap on the back of it like the last camper lol

You're so happy that you could make anybody happy ! And it's so good to see happy people these days...
WOW I've watched SO many of your Videos and I've never seen so much excitement. Onwards Upwards and Never stop!!!! Love this, such positivity!

I don't need a forklift, but now I do want one! Congrats Laura, good trade!
I’m loving your happiness! Thank you for your inspirational videos.
I love to see her smile. Such a beautiful person!
WOOOO KOMATSU!!! That's also some forklift on forklift action I've never seen before. I'm so happy for you!
you have a contagious smile. So glad I found your channel. Cheers!

It's so satisfying when the forklift starts. Awesome trade!
Glückwunsch zu Deinem neuen Flurförderzeug! Mach spass damit herumzukurven...prima Tausch!
@6.40 ..and what I am trying to say is that people like you and with your attitude makes the world a better place.
Congrats for the yellow beast!
I am excited for you. Your joy is contagious!
Great film. Fun seeing you get giddy over a forklift. So satisfying confirming the thing you wanted was the thing you needed. Mahalo for sharing!😊🐒
3:37 That truck with drop down sides is AWESOME!
What you call 'Trading', I call 'Bartering'! Goods for Goods.
Congrats on your new toy! This is so inspiring. I am moving homes and this is giving me new thoughts on why I should keep or toss some of my items and tools. Can't wait to see more of what you do⚡ much love.
Komatsu! What an absolute beauty too! Well done Laura, it sure makes light work of those heavy metal working peices 🤘
I hope you always find things in life that make you share your smile with us.
This was wonderful. I love the style you produce and hope you aesthetically modify your new forklift
Really enjoyed this Laura. I like the vlog style focused on the one subject rather than the week's events
aw cool! thanks for the feedback. i might do more of this in the future!
I love seeing how your workshop is expanding and evolving. Such an inspiration. Thanks for all the awesome videos.
Es ist so schön zu sehen, wie ehrlich du dich freust
Your passion and joy is contagious. Wonderful video.
So nice seeing you making such a great trade and for the opportunities it'll open up for you ❤️
I voted on the survey question before watching the video. I see now what you were getting at. Bravo.
'Invest in something that makes you happy!' -- great advice!
Your joy is contagious and inspiring. Vielen dank!
thank you for watching!!
This is a great trade! Forklift is going to unlock so much potential. Excited to see your next happy machine that gets lifted by the forklift 😂
You are a lovely person and I am happy for your happiness with this trade.
WOW!
list of things I have wanted but don´t need:
Big office style copy machine
Bobcat tractor (I live in an appartment)
chainsaw
and.... a fork lift!!!!
nice trade!!!!!
I like the things that brings you joy. I’m a nut for tools and cool junk.
I love the way you are so excited and happy 😁

I was intrigued in instragram, now I'm pleased in youtube, it's great to see you so happy. Enjoyed every second.
NICE trade! I sincerely hope that you NAME the forklift (and give it a make-over). Yay!
Your face says it all, been following you since your collaboration with Simone but not seen you this excited before.
Happy for you.
Your positivity and fearlessness are so inspiring. After watching this, I feel like I am capable of so much. I think I might have potential like your forklift!
Sweet trade and your in good company with the “new” big equipment. Cremona, Diresta, Chris Zep. Love the smiles on your faces.

I just got one for our shop here about a month and a half ago. It has already paid for itself five times over since then. Keep up the good work!
