- Big Thanks to Weaver Leather for supporting my work and sponsoring this project!! check them out here: www.weaverleat...
i wanted a rimowa carry-on for a long time but they are simply too expensive. so i went online and bought an old Tropicana Case made for Cameras. The Tropicana line has been discontinued years ago but they are easy to find used. best thing about them is that they are waterproof!
so i spent a week in the shop turning this 50 Euro Camera case into a super sweet looking carry-on suitcase.
let me know what you think in the comments.

no matter what you find everywhere, look at it with laura's eyes and you will discover treasures
Well said.
Not only is this project well designed and crafted, the shots and edits are so tight. Well done Laura! so cool.
thanks Trevor! i had
a good time with this project!
True!
10:00 That totally makes sense and I think we'll need an attitude like this for a sustainable future.
Agree! things are more precious when you've put the effort into making it.
"The object owns you." Perfect description.
I bought a Louis Vuitton keepall a couple of years ago, I always wanted one and I was in a position where I could afford one. I must have been away a couple dozen times since getting and every time I’m too scared to use it! So very much, that bag owns me!
Understand and agree totally
"When you buy something expensive it owns you!" Totally get that Laura. Thanks for a great video.
You don't really own it until you void the warranty!
I have been watching for a while and I am seriously impressed. This is my favorite project by faaaaarrr. Leatherwork, woodwork, some metalwork, super-practical and a great anti-consumerism message and statement on wheels, love it. Congrats Laura.
thank you!! i enjoyed it for the same reasons
Wow. Du bist ja ein Universaltalent. Großartig. Da tun sich ja wahnsinnig viele Möglichkeiten auf, etwas zu kreieren und der Phantasie freien Lauf zu lassen. Respekt. 👍
Am meisten berührt es mich, wenn ich in Deinen Augen Deine Freude und Deinen Stolz auf das Geschaffene sehen kann. Du machst so tolle Dinge, ich finde Dich einfach super. Alles Gute noch für das neue Jahr 🍀
.
What touches me the most is when I can see in your eyes your joy and pride in what you have created. You do such great things, I think you are just great. All the best for the new year 🍀
Mad respect for awesome skills. You keep surprising me with just how cool your builds are. Keep them coming and keep being awesome.
I totally understand what you mean. My power tools are sewing machine and an iron I get a satisfied feeling when I create something rather than paying lots of money for it. I love watching you work with power tools and recycled materials. Thank you for sharing.
I must agree with you. There is something very special about making or modifying something with your own hands. I appreciate you sharing your projects.
Hello from Arizona! I have been on lock down since last March due to cancer treatment and the highlight of my week is watching your videos on Sunday. Keep doing what you do as it opens my mind to what I am capable of creating and inspires me toward a better life in the future.
thanks for your kind words! i hope you feel better soon!!! sending positive vibes from my shop
@@laurakampf Thank you I am feeling much better. Please give Smudo my best, I love him. ❣️
As an occasional leatherworker, respect for jumping straight into wet-moulding as a first leatherworking process. It's not easy, but the results are awesome, as we see here :)
Someone once said, if you don't modify it, you don't own it
Love the loxx buttons, need to get some :)
"If u put some work into an object and really make it your own, it's more yours.." EXACTLY! 100% makes sense.
I do leatherwork making purses, I was impressed with your working the thick leather and building the case. good video
So gifted, so clever. Total respect. No money can buy that case. You have turned one case into a priceless, precious work of art. You create the most beautiful defects I have ever seen. Admiration, respect.
Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
Love you trick with the lifting strap. Super clever. Old traditional wooden fish boats in my area use a similar system for lifting windows that open by dropping into a cavity in the house sides.
I think you're one of those creative genius types that can LOOK at something and either re-create or improve it...amazing!
I totally get your idea about if you made it it is more yours. I grew up building boats, houses, docks, fixing cars, fixing everything. People never appreciate something that they bought as much as something that they make. When something is bought it is just money. When you make it is a piece of your life! Love your videos. (usa)
i think this is my favourite project you've made so far!
wow, thanks!
I love every aspect of this video. The music, the idea, the presentation. This is great!
I know exactly how you feel. We bought a house that we thought needed a little love and it turned out to ned a lot more work than we expected. But when we walk in there it feels so much more a home than anywhere I've ever lived because we've put so much of ourselves into the walls.
I could not agree more with what you said about expensive things you buy owning you.
Yes, I totally understand that when you make something yourself, it more belongs to you than something you buy for yourself. I think it would be interesting for you to show us someday how it is you manage to find so much and so many things that you are able to re-use or re-purpose.
Laura makes everything better, including me. This is therapy man.
Love your remark on creating and reparing things yourself in stead of buying expensive stuff. Will it be perfect? No.. Is it great? Hell yeah!
Smudo has a friend (besides Laura)! They look very happy together.
Absolutely brilliant, and worth more in my eyes than a mass produced (even if it is more expensive) off-the-shelf item. It's like when people buy a stock factory motor home that's all bland and plastic, yet costs over five times more than a lovingly self- built vehicle using natural materials that fits its owners needs 100%, and looks nicer too.
You are exactly right about making a thing your own. If a nice recently manufactured hand tool comes your way, say a Lie-Nielsen plane, whether new or a lightly battered estate sale find, and you
disassemble, clean and adjust it, sharpen it perfectly, lightly break too crisp edges, strip the lacquer from the wood, work in a couple drops of tung oil, and expose it to your shop's ambient conditions, you'll find that in five year's time it will be much more your own than another example wiped clean between uses and stored in its plastic bag inside its original box.
Laura, I just discovered your channel today by accident. I've been watching all day. So much to say but simply put, YOU ARE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE! THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU. I can identify with your experiences & perspective in so many ways. I've subscribed for all that your "University" has to offer. Thank you.
That was quite possibly the best piece of stock music ever. (Amazing work, as always!)
I think this has to be one of the best projects ever. So so simple but so clever and stunning.
TOTALLY RIGHT , buying new expensive stuff makes it hard to do anything with it , always worried , trying to maintain the object rather than enjoying it .
absolutely love projects with repurposed materials.
A great project for a new year!
Keep smiling. It helps us more than you know!
What you said about you putting your time and it feeling more like your then just buying it. Is a 100% true statement that in my eyes more people should consider in today's world
The strap to pull the iPad out of the leather pouch is a really nice touch. Really well hidden when everything is latched.
Imagine being that suitcase - you think your time is up you’re getting sold for 50€ and BAAAM! you get turned into the coolest suitcases of all ❤
Absolutely correct about your "made" object being a part of you vs. just something you buy. Great video.
I admire your ingenuity and your re-use philosophy so much. You don't need to use body parts taken from animals without their consent. You're above that imho.
I love making my own things because then I have the flexibility to improve them when new ideas come.
I don't know how I ran into your channel. All I can say is that I'm green with envy (in a good way) for how handy you're with just about everything. Amazing 🥰.
I soooo totally agree with you. If you can make it yourself, if you save money, it's more yours.
That leather pouch turned out so good! I don't think I've ever seen a piece that thick before.
I've not seen you do leatherwork before. So good to see your vision and how you incorporated it. Thanks for another great video.
Best suitcase upgrade I've ever seen. Rimowa should be paying you!!
Da gusto verte trabajar con esa serenidad. Tus trabajos son sencillos y muy bonitos. Enhorabuena.
Find someone that looks at you like Laura looks at her new suitcase.
Or even like she looked at the old camera case she made it from.
Hey Laura, you're right. When I build up things myself then it is not necessary how much the project has cost but I really take so much care to keep it well. Building something with your own hands gives you a connection to it.
You are so talented! I love your videos. It’s refreshing to see that a woman can do ANYTHING!
I totally agree that making something is almost always better than buying something. Cheers Laura- thanks for sharing another awesome video. Happy Sunday :)
more yours than just buying something is a great way of putting it
totally love the
"I need... let's make" - mentality !!!
Yes! An expensive item owns you. Excellent explanation. I have a very expensive car that I feel exactly that way about. I also have a very cheap car that I work on myself and I love that one. Your explanation has made it clear for me. Great job on the case too.
I absolutely LOATHE carry on luggage with wheels. As someone that flies pretty much weekly nothing aggravates me more than watching people trying to cram wheeled luggage into the overhead.
The leather work was exciting to watch. Great job on repurposing, i love how you do it
Quoi d'autre.. Bravo. A perfect project. Building something by yourself (even a small transformation) gives to this object life!.
Another beautiful example of a masterful execution not just artistic but also utility. Truly amazing work!
Inspiring. I have spent the last 3 hours watching your projects, starting from the pub/camper van.
You are an amazing person!!! Molding of the leather, I needed to see that today. You have taught me so many techniques that I can incorporate into my life. You are my creator of the Year. Namaste.
Totally agree. Building something makes you more owner. You took decisions that defined the object as is.
Hi Laura I totally agree I would prefer something old I modified than buy new , I bought a new car and I was so protective about it I didn’t want to use it just in case it got damaged or stolen I now own an old van and I love it more because I made it my own making it fit my tools , keep the videos coming you are cleaver with your ideas 👍🏻
That's the thickest leather I've ever seen being used in a project! It must've been so hard to work with it, and seeing how beautiful everything turned out is truly wonderful!! Great job as always, Laura!
I don’t need a hole punch any more, thanks for the lesson. Laura. Sweet project.
That's a great idea Laura! I love that you made your own hole punch! "Let's just make one!" So powerful
This whole video felt like a "you can do this!". Laura would be amazing as a makerspace supervisor, instructor or teacher.
"Makers Love Equality" I love the little things you have hidden on tape and in the background. It's very wholesome and I love finding them! Keep on doing amazing!
Ich bin immer wieder überrascht, wie fantasievoll Deine Ideen sind. Und ich liebe Deine Werkstatt. Im nächsten Leben baue ich mir auch so eine Werkstatt. 🙋🏼♀️🪛🔧🔩
Makes Perfect sense! Why pay to advertise for someone else when you can better your own skills, push yourself and discover new truths about your talents and advertise YOURSELF! Never been a name brand girl myself, except for my Converse, but even those I buy used and because they are truly comfortable. Thanks for sharing your talents and skills. Resect the Defects, mistakes show you learned something!
Not only you feel your things more of your own when you make them but more than that you feel proud when you recycle or up cycle ! Excellent job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing, looks so robust, your wealth of techniques are incredible. Awesome outcome Laura.
What a fabulous build, although I’d love to know where you got the case for $50, they start at £250 for a second hand one here in the UK
Another great project. Your wrap up comments completely make sense! Thanks for the inspiration!
I do understand that owning it part also i love some good music in the morning while watching a genius in action.
What an awesome project! Wood working, leather work, machining, metal work and pure creativity! I'm in awe of your ability to see these things. Really admire the skills and thought process involved!
Such a cool project! Love the leather pouch with that quick release button. The tripod leg pull out handle was my favorite! That plywood stand/foot looks a bit clumsy but I’m sure you did that for a reason .
I agree-next time I would try to make this a bit more delicate...
WOW..... this proof you think out the box, i love it and so versatile .....love it
So many little clever ideas to love in this video! I gave an audible "woah!" when I saw the strap that you added to pull your tablet out of the pouch
I appreciate that you always have exactly the correct clamp for the job.
My dear, I have so much to learn with you... Thanks a lot for share so special insight about restore and recycle. Your job is amazing! 🙌🏼
totally incredible a a good suitcase for traveling on the train.
Making something with your own hands turns a simple object into an unique piece. Makes total sense to me. The result was beautiful. Congrats.
Das ist so geil was du für Ideen hast, wie du defekte Sachen nutzt und umfunktionierst, wie professionell du das alles drauf hast (z.B Das Leder formen ubd die Form dafür bauen) und wie toll das alles am Ende ausschaut :-)
Das macht Spaß zu sehen und steckt an.
danke!
I don't fancy suitcases or travel in general too much. But I can definitely relate to building something yourself in order to feel it's yours.
Lots of brilliant ideas all wrapped up into an inspiring project. Awesome work.
Did you hear it whistle? This case has got a better life than before. What a unique transformation!
Wahnsinnig gut geworden! Würde sagen 110% dein Style und diese neuen Typenschilder sind der Hammer! Was ein geiler Start in 2021 :)
YES i love up-cycling projects and the swaggy music is perfect !!
Saw the Weaver leather logo and thought .. "Hi I'm Chuck Dorset.."..
Great project!
Phantastischer Start in das Jahr 2021!
Great project Laura! Amazing finished product! Individual and stylish.
Best wishes from London England 👍❤️💪😎🏴🙏
That shot of you lathing (turning?) off the threads for the hole punch was super satisfying!
Making it yours makes perfect sense
My Papa always said if you can make it yourself don't buy it. I wish he were here so I could show him that hole punch you made! Nice work on the whole project!!!
Das ist ja richtig schön geworden. Unbezahlbar!!!!
It makes a lot of sense, owning objects that we made ourselves! Getting out of standardisation and market... Thanks and best wishes to all makers!
What a nice piece of leather! 👌
Plus your genius techniques in shaping, punching and sewing it, makes me instantly wanna make something new with the tons of leather that I own. 🐂🪒📐✂️🧵🪡💼 😃👍
I didn't want this video to end! So fun.
I am new to your channel. I don’t know about no one thousand dollar suitcase but your suitcase is the bomb now I want to make a suitcase
