Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how good Laura's handwriting is??
I guess I am kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Eliseo Emery Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Alfredo Conner Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
@Alfredo Conner Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Eliseo Emery You are welcome :)
That pug is the world's cutest shop supervisor ever. Cool seat. I need one for my bike, as my current seat feels like I'm getting a rectal probe by aliens.
The use of actual skateboard trucks as attachment point is GENIUS!!!
one of my favorite things in your videos is watching your face of satisfaction and how you are having fun while making the thing in turn. it always cheers me up and inspires me to also make things
it's always nice to see an artisan at work, but the end result are always most satisfying for the creator
I've been specifically searching for THIS kind of DIY, since where I live banana seats are too expensive. You literally made me save 50€ this way, thank you!
The mind of an engineer and the soul of an artist. You have a new, old, fan from Canada. I finally subscribed.
Truly gifted to have vision to see things in other objects . Then engineer the brace and suspension. Excellent.
Thank you.

I love seeing you try things outside of your comfort zone. The sewing for instance, just the look on your face was pure determination. Great job, so cool.
As always....simply brilliant. I wish I could spend a day with Laura just soaking up her vibe and learning from her. Thanks for all you give us!
Impressed with the Bananaseat and how you integrated the bend in the board into your seat.but...I am in love with your sewing machine. Looking for that Bernina since years. HABEN,HABEN,HABEN. Thanks for the entertainment. Well done.
I bought her on eBay about 2 years ago. Love that little machine
love those old stylish seats, instead those new modern ones, which seams to crush your ball. i seem cant to find the old design or they arent available anymore. dont have the tools and your crafted creative gifted skill. over all, thank you for posting it here. loveit loveit.
I love seeing more sewing in your shop. So enjoyable and useful. The use of the trucks to mount was brilliant. Thanks Laura and Tanja.
Great build, loved the use of the skateboard truck as a mounting point.
This is an awesome, old-school banana seat! It looks like the seat's pivot point (at the truck articulation knuckle) adds a third way the bike bends while in motion
Nice build Laura . Definitely didn't expect use of skateboard hardware as a mounting part . Great idea . Thanks
Yay happy banana seat to go with your funky bike! I love that the old skateboard fits so well in age and in shape. And the music is great! Love it!
Nice to meet you, Tanja.
Way back in the day, I had a Schwinn Sting Ray bicycle with a banana seat. That name made me laugh all those years ago and it still does. Good job/video.
Es gibt nichts, was sie nicht kann oder versucht. Ein wahrer Maker.
Danke für die vielen Inspirationen

Now that bike needs a funky 70’s paint job...something in heavy metal flake green!
Hello Laura, Great video, as usual, I have great memories of my son and daughters bikes with the banana seats. I love your version here. Keep the content coming.
Adorei Laura!!! Obrigada por compartilhar!
another incredible idea & a great use of an old skateboard.
Now that is a very good example of unique designing, great job.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
That's a great finishing touch for this project!
Auf unseren Kölner MacGyver ist Verlass! ;)
Super Cool ! your friend is super talented, i like the cover over the tape measure. :) :)
I like the lighting in this one!
friend of mine makes custom boat seating. He cuts the foam an inch or two longer than the wood, makes for a better edge when you tighten the material down.
Wow...who would have ever thought that the banana seat (which was new and popular 45 years ago (when I was 9) would have a comeback in 2019?!?! Much less be the object of a very hip DIY video! Nice job, Laura!
Old Schwinn Sting-ray banana seat cool! Using the skateboard truck is genius. You friend has a nice old Bernina Record. Thanks again.
I love the incorporation of the truck. Great work friend! Keep it up.
This is a Fun Idea, and a Fun Video to watch Laura!
Inventive, creative and so relaxing!
Another great idea, execution, and video!!!
Wow! Wahnsinnig kreativ und gut umgesetzt! Werde ich ganz sicher nachbauen! :)
Awesome! The use of the truck as seat mount is next-level. I just made my own ironing board and the process was remarkably similar. Biking while ironing would make ironing a lot more fun. 😁
TEAMWORK! Gotta luv it. Another great project complete!! :-)
I love it !!!! Merci Laura.
Please do more projects with Tanja!
And more pet B roll!
Wow! This is a thing i must do... Thanks for the idea!
Cool up cycle of a skateboard 👍👍👍
This dog is so cool !
Your Chanel is so perfect ,camera shots ,everything is so good .You inspire me !
Me encantó ese resultado, quedó genial. Felicitaciones!
thank you!!! finally I can get my friends old skate board and do custom seats out of it!! woohoo! much love from Singapore!!
I love the backing track! 😆
Absolutely love it, reminds me of the old Schwinn Stingrays
Awesome stuff Laura! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Very good, very cool, very nice, thank u Laura
Another great job that looks so comfy
Cool idea keep up the great work love the channel 💯👍
My suggestion is that you should paste some thin rubber material under plywood seat.On this way you will protect wood and seat textil cover from water.
I like so much your videos. I watch every new video. Every new video is better than last one.
😍👌☺️
Awesome! Greetings from Texas!
That looked like a lot of fun 😊❤
Nice job Laura!
Using a grinder on foam....kind alike using a flame thrower to melt snow....both highly effective and satisfying. Nice approach to the problem!
Hopefully Smudo doesn't get jealous of another dog in his bed 😄
Great idea , cool seat , cool video . as always KOOL Laura .
You are full of good ideas. Keep it up.
Hi Laura, I discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it, I've watched almost all the videos. a hug from afar, from Sete Lagoas city, Brazil. Thanks 👍😀👍
Crazy, twisted, beautiful bike, now if you can modify it to haul beer! That’s perfection!
Sehr schöne Idee!!! Cool
Mega gut!
way cool! A big fancy sissy bar would be a cool addition
Great video as usual.
Smudo is gonna be mad. 😀
grosses kino! sehr clever und total unterhaltsames video. lustig die gummihand auf der fadenspuhle. jimmy schmunzelt bestimmt😉 laura ON AIR immer am sonntag🍀❤️
Das ist toll. Vor allem erinnert mich dein Video an mein erstes Fahrrad, Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Es war ein knallgelbes Bonanzarad mit Bananensattel. Die Schaltung war eine Dreigang, mit einem Schaltknüppel, der auf dem Rahmen moniert war. 😊👍
What a bike !
Thank you so much for the idea of using a skateboard for this... i am trying to make my own diy "dirt bike saddle" on my mtb for comfort reasons. it requires a bit of welding but with those materials you used it could be decent
As one who had one back in the 60's, when they first came out - Good Job !
Always was uncomfortable, though -
As if this bike wasn't cool enough already, you went ahead and made it even cooler.
Love this project.
Amazing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, LAURA ❤
I love you lauraaaaaaaaa!!!
That was creative👏👏
. Cya next week..✌
Neat. You're the first person I've seen making a banana seat. I'm going to make one to at some point.
I love this !!
I'm just afraid that those threaded rods might twist or bend under weight.
Nice project. Next time you should try to sew a thin layer of foam in the stripes. It would give it a nice 3D texture.
Aaah sonntag, kampftag! 7 min chillen. Das tat gut. Great as always! 😎🤙 Danke dir! :)
Haven't seen one of those since my little sister's bike in the 1970s. Nice. 😊
Nice loaf! Lovely pug!
Salut et fraternité .merci Laura pour vos vidéos , et vive l.europe des bricoleurs. Amitiés
Ciao Laura ;)
Bellissima idea, mi piace! ;)
to cut the foam for building motorbike seats we usually use a chicken knife.. the alternating and motorized one.. the one designed for cutting bread actually with serrated edge blade ... it works very well on foam to build motorbike seats ... give it a try .. and to drill a clean big hole into wood drill it with the desired drill size but with piece of scrap wood underneath the wood for into you want the hole.. the drill will keep cutting trough the two layers od wood and you will end with a clean hole on the seat holder piece...
Danke Laura. 👍
I love how you find ways to repurpose what may seemingly be trash to someone else. However i think the build was upstaged by the puggo👍
Creative idea. 👍
That’s it. This is the video I needed to see I bought a bike and I don’t like bicycle seats turns out so I was looking for more moped style seats and I didn’t know what they were called but now I know to type in banana seat
Nice job, my mind sees that you could put springs on the back/ under of the seat as well!
Omg, that crocheted pin cushion/tape measure cover!
I really overthought how to attach the seat to the post but you came up with an ingenious simple solution. I think I suffer from Analysis Paralysis. I would join Skillshare if I had any skills to share.
Me gusto el vídeo sigue subiendo más vídeos desde Minnezota resive muchos saludos que Dios te bendiga
Ok, I can enjoy my Day now....I’ve got my “Big L Video Fix” for the day!
Another Great Video Big L! The old school build videos you became famous for! Much Love ❤️ Have A Super Week!.....Gus
I had no idea what a banana seat was, but I do now. Nice work
You always be my inspiration,,👍👍 bagus
I don't know if it's really comfortable after 10 kms.. but very good idea to recycle skateboards!👍👍👍
SUPER COOL
Yeps, another cool vid.
Great idea for my cb750c Honda cafe racer.
They should bring those bikes back.
As Always wonderful, i Will Do It for my bike....see ya😜
bonito trabajo
