    I like this woman. When she makes a mistake, she shows it.
    And when she is happy, her smile invades my screen.
    Thank you.

    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!

    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.

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

      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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hi, amazing project and amazing result! Can I suggest you to remove the screw used for latch to the magnet? as you can see, there is a little compass deviation.
    Of course, after installation you need to calibrate the compass due too the iron car frame. 😛
    I am very happy to follow your channel.
    See you soon.

    cool project. An idea hit me. Instead of placing the magnet at the top of the tambour as you did, drill a hole on each side of one slat of the tambour opposite the closing handle. Possibly the bottom slat would be a good choice. Then place a piece of steel in a drilled hole on each side of the box directly into the groove that would line up with the magnet when the lid when it is closed. Even though it would move the magnet(s) away from the compass, testing for magnetic interference would still be required before hand. I want to see how the entire project turns out. I like it.
