Building an Overengineered Doorbell with Simone Giertz

Laura Kampf and Simone Giertz spend a single day scouring a junkyard for parts and end up creating a wildly over-the-top doorbell. Expect quirky contraptions, unexpected materials and plenty of “why is this a thing?” moments as these two makers turn scrap into a ridiculous (yet awesome) front-door alert system.

This one-day build is proudly brought to you by Squarespace (get 10% off with LAURAKAMPF), plus Laura’s own shop and Patreon for behind-the-scenes support. Tools and gear featured include Festool and Lincoln Electric, because you can’t overengineer without the right kit.
