    I don't know how, but Laura manages to make each video EVEN BETTER than the previous.

    I would have never thought to go get a car seat that already has a heating system. What a great build Laura

    Scrap yards are one of my favourite places to be. It's full of potential to make something awesome other than a working car .. great work again :)

    I like this video format with the classic Laura Kampf building shots mixed in with some on-camera comments! Awesome build.

    Having a shop too big to heat is a great luxury to have - with a chair like that at least! Thanks for sharing, Laura!

    excelent as always Laura. You know that you can control the temperature by either running the pads in series or parallel? you can hook up a switch that will run them series for low heat or parallel for high heat.

    Smudo is so adorable in this video, and obviously loves his mum. We need more Smudo in your videos. 😊❤

    6:15 The moment Laura realised that she will need to make a second seat.

    Rad project. I like how you use discarded and found stuff. The added commentary on this projects works, and I like how you still keep the style of simple music with the build process. The writing on tape still works great too. Don't stop those unique Laura Kampf bits.

    Your scrap yards look so clean and tidy. North American yards look like Mad Max war zones.
    Love the builds reusing things. Keep it up!

    Let’s be honest, you should have called this “from old car seat to Smudo’s heated chair” 😉

  • @benjaminmuirhead2828
    @benjaminmuirhead2828 6 років тому

    I really enjoy your new idea of partly moderating a build video. I think some videos each (with and without talking) would be a great mix for the channel between your original style and the most common UA-cam approach like you did this time.
    You (and Jimmy) to me are more artists than content creators. Please don't get too commercial.
    Your ideas are great, your videography splendid. Love your work, Laura. Keep it up!
    Cheers from Berlin :-)

  • @SnapBagger
    @SnapBagger 6 років тому

    Laura I just LOVE you and your work! This is a brilliant idea! I think it has broader commercial applications for offices. In every office I have been in, the women are freezing (in the Summer because of the air conditioning), and so they try and use a small space heater under their desks. These are sometimes not allowed though because they are so powerful and have greater fire risks. You could get a sponsorship from Herman Miller or any of the other large office furniture manufacturers. -Mae from Denver

    Bravo! Outstanding idea, layout & make. I have two dogs, Mother & daughter, the daughter likes to sleep in my car which doesn't have heated seats & she only gives up the drivers seat reluctantly with growls & indignation. If I made a heated seat I might never get to sit in it!

    Hello Laura, just a thought for an updated video on the heated seat project. Most automotive seats have a sensor or switch to detect a persons presence for safety features to actuate properly. You may wish to tie in this feature and switch the seat heater on automatically when you or smudo decides to get warmed up. Of course in the spring through fall times of the year, simply turn the master switch off or remove the plug. Love your videos!

  • @pa4tim
    @pa4tim 6 років тому

    Very nice done and a very clever idea. I have back-problems and a custom made carseat that I kept when I sold the car. A few months back I took an old office chair and removed the seat part. Bolted a plate of multiplex on it and bolted the carseat including frame/rail on the multiplex. The chair is only a bit high this way. Yours is better in hight but my chair had nothing to weld so I needed to reuse the frame

    Gute Idee! Im Auto war Sitzheizung schon eine super Sache. Daran die außerhalb zu nutzen hatte ich noch nie gedacht.
    Falls du auch im Stehen nicht frieren willst, kannst du dir mal Infrarotheizungen anschauen. Die sind recht günstig und warmen durch Infrarotstrahlung, sodass man nicht die ganze Raumluft aufwärmen muss.

    Fantastic timing! I'm about to replace the seats in my car and was considering reusing them just like this. I hadn't considered using the heaters, but now it seems like an obvious thing to do, since they'll be in a cold garage workshop. Guess I'll look for some C channel and a proper seat base!
