Hey Cam, I normally love your videos. However, I often watch with my 5yo son. I'm just wondering if the atrocious caulking is something we can expect to continue. Wouldn't want him seeing any more of that.
I have never been a fan of epoxy in furniture used as a focal point, but wow. This is the first time it has ever felt natural to me, something that just makes sense. Well done!
Agreed. I hate river tables. But I do love to see epoxy used to create table tops out of slabs that would otherwise be unusable due to the amout of cracks they have - like this one, but some of them even worse. At that point, all the cracks just add personality. The effort put into charring and a mirror finish does add something special, though.
I was going to say as much and I agree with the first four comments, actually five counting this one. This is the first video I watched all the way to the end. I lean toward the Roy Underhill school of woodwork and I think this is an amazing piece of craftsmanship.
It's amazing, all of his stuff is. The gloss char/matt table effect is the single thing on this one project that I probably wouldn't pick for myself. I just think a uniform gloss would have looked a bit better but that's just me.
True story: some of these factories are so goodt you can’t even tell. ❤ I’m sticking with the factories boo. That’s how you do it. I have many authentic bags and reps from factories *suluxy* and when I tell you they legit have them down pack you can’t even tell that’s how good they have gotten. Be smart ladies!
Pro wood worker 27 years here. Wanted to give ya some pointers. Here we go. Just kidding, amazing work as usual. More than the craftsmanship it’s the humility that you show, calling yourself a mediocre woodworker, even though you are certainly not, it makes projects seem approachable and gets people inspired to try. That’s the most beautiful thing we can share with people - inspiration!
100% true! About a year ago or so, one of his videos caught my attention - since then, I spent about 20K and created my own woodworking shop (for hobby). Woodworking reminds me the time I spent with my late father back in the 90’s, I had completely forgotten about that until I saw one of these videos. I always watch every single video he puts out.
@@fatosllabjani1643 I'm somewhere in the same boat - I rent, so everything is modulated around that reality but have gathered a decent selection of tools, and slowly figuring stuff out. I'm at the point where I've started selling larger pieces not just small nick nacks and it feels so good to have a hobby that essentially starts to fund itself, and perhaps - one day - become the primary income.
@@formes2388 good luck man! I hope too that it will become my main source of income some day. It’s therapeutic and you get to see, touch and admire the results of your work. I don’t do epoxy since I noticed that it turns yellow with time - my main focus is joinery (Japanese joinery mainly). I just received my Narex Richter chisels, I can’t wait to put them to use. Have a blessed day! 👍🏻
As someone who does art on a tablet/with a pencil, I love watching people who work more with their hands. Art in different mediums has so much variety, including the process, and I love seeing the passion that comes with it. Your projects look amazing. Keep going at it.
Something many folks never figure out about successful channels is that millions of people can make good content, but character is the ingredient that keeps bringing them back. Love the commentary/character you bring. We don't have to agree with everyone in the world. Good friends enjoy disagreeing at times! Rave on. Great entertainment. Thanks
Absolutely! I barely have any interest in woodworking other than I love watching people passionately make things, so the main reason I keep coming back to Cam's channel is because he's hilarious, he's open with his audience, he's authentic and unapologetically himself, even on camera for millions of people. He's just a good dude!
I got curious... the total on the receipt was $81,800. Even if we remove the Tundra (since most people have a car, regardless of their job) that's still $45,550! I won't tell Cam's wives but I can't help if they read his comments 👀
I applaud that you acknowledged the swear jar folks, assesed the situation & kept it real by being unapologetic for being you & no promises were given to appease those who've mistaken this for the Disney channel. Never change.
I agree 100%, and for real, if a parent has that much trouble with mild swearing heard by their 5yo, perhaps he could watch the video first (at 2x speed even) and skip over any swearing when watching with his child. Or, god forbid, have a conversation with the child about naughty words we don’t use in our household.
Hi, I'm a woodworker and I'm looking forward to learn more from your videos. I love that it's not the "everything goes exactly as planned...always" kind of stuff, but it's really the "learning while you go" and even though you have a lot of experience but still not knowing everything or making mistakes is so accurate. I love that you're showing that as well. You're a real example for me now. 🥰☺️💪🏻
Scott was the PERFECT addition to the channel. Literally not the same black tail without him. Truly the most perfect fitting attitude and personality to pair with your original style the channel was founded on. Scott, bro, you're appreciated for sure
The grain and characteristics is beautiful and how you bring it out is amazing. You are so dedicated and I love to watch professional people with a passion and with love.
👍I think this may be the piece you've done that I've liked the most. Understatedly elegant, the matte finish on the wood highlights the polished char-and-epoxy sections and allows the attention to detail you've shown in this work to shine through.
I was looking at countertop repair videos for ideas on a good approach to tackle the repair I had to do and somehow came across this video. I was intrigued enough to not only watch the video to the end, but often backtracked a bit to rewatch techniques you used to overcome obstacles. The camera work was great and I felt the detail you give when explaining the thought process behind techniques used added to my mental arsenal of possibilities when dreaming up new projects to tackle. I subscribed and shared. 👍
My husband and I have been watching you for years now. We both agree this is probably our favorite project so far!! Absolutely love the burnt wood epoxy polished against the beautiful white oak!! We hope to see more projects with this theme!!
You are the best narrator on the internet. One of the few channels I will never ever skip an episode. In fact your narration is so good, you could narrate movies in Hollywood. Big fish style. No joke!
Good point. There are one or two build / restoration channels that commentate all the way through and it's just irritating, and there's a couple I love that do no commentating whatsoever (apart from the occasional subtitled explanation or correction when it turns out in post to be necessary) but the Blacktail Studio commentaries really do add to the video and I love it. It all boils down to the presenter's personality and Cam has plenty of that. But of course he does, he's a helicopter pilot.
As a lover of anything made of wood, former 25 year GC of my own company and total 40 year woods craftsman. Let me simply say, this is a beautiful piece of art and I enjoyed watching the build. I enjoy watching other craftsmen who actually care about the smallest of details and truly appreciate the process. As well, it’s also nice to learn new tricks I didn’t know about. Some people might think it odd for someone with an extensive number of years in the trade to make such a comment. I actually wouldn’t trust someone who didn’t, as I know from experience and my teachers who taught me. You should always be learning your craft, no matter what it is because materials and techniques are forever changing. That has never been more true than when you’re talking about working with wood. So, thank you for the overall experience and watching your built I did thoroughly enjoy it. Have a good day, sir.
I watched all the way through. You do amazing work. ❤ The way you handled having to do it over again was great. You already had a very strong table that could hold up 100 years, you had the waterfall match perfectly, so there is no way you can’t just put that extra time into the final touch. 👏🏻 Had you just left it, I would have been so disappointed and probably not care to watch you again. You have patience and talent. ❤
8:42 Whether intentional or not, as a Marine, I audibly guffawed. Thank you. Also, the "stand of shame" at the end was a nice touch; hats off to Scott for all his contributions to your videos.
I like that you take others people's thoughts and concerns and address them. Criticism is the best form of advice and your not afraid to ask for help and let it known. Very humbling.
Thumbs up. I have zero working knowledge, creative thinking, or even space at my home to do any of the woodworking, but watching your channel is such a blissful experience and makes my heart full. Scott's addition to your videos has also been wholesome and you two make an awesome team. Thanks for entertaining us!
I absolutely love your vids, not only the projects themselves (which are stunning) but your humor, self deprecating snark. Interplay between you both & finally, how you DON'T edit out your screw-ups & subsequent fixes. You keep making them & I'll keep watching 😊Thanks for the inspiration, the amusement & the entertainment !
Hey Cam, I think a similar charred piece with a “twist” would be awesome. That twist would be Gold Foil melted into the cracks of the charred areas, polished, and then covered by the epoxy and polished to the same mirror finish. In my opinion It would add an elegance to the piece that it deserves.
That sounds really cool, maybe a variation with silver flake mixed into the resin to look like stars, would make the table look like it had a piece of space in it
Beautiful colors, I always like watching the wood come back to life with the finish. As a side note, When a gemstone is cut it is cut in two operations, the Pavilion or pointed side and then transfer dopped to cut the crown and table. The transfer uses epoxy or shellac and it mutes the sparkle or life of the cut until it's finished. I feel like I felt when I finished cutting a stone when you reveal the finish on the pieces you do. 19 hrs was the longest cut I ever did. Thank you.
👍 Absolutely love this table. Love your channel, your humor and your creativity and ideas. You and Scott definitely make a great team. Greetings from Cape Town, South African 🇿🇦
👍 for "super stable." That's gorgeous, and I think it's a good example to show that fine craftswork requires patient, intense, close-in work. It's not all about buffers and magic potions. Good for you for sticking with this one. I wish I could buy it and put it in a place of honor.
This was my first time ever watching this type of video, and I was totally captivated from the beginning to the absolute very end. Also I'm amazed as to the amount of hard work and attention to detail it took to complete your table. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Thanks bro.
👍the contrast, the gradient and the weirdly elegant leg... what a beautiful combination of features. i believe you don't give yourself enough credit, this is yet another incredible piece.
Consider this a thumbs up. I don't know why more people don't do a black background for an epoxy inlay or use a black epoxy. That's BEAUTIFUL. It was SO much work, but you have created a functional piece of art that will last for centuries. Phenomenal!
👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!
Какая титаническая работа, сколько терпения надо, поражаюсь... у меня бы никогда не хватило бы силы воли закончить такой проект до конца! И ты не непосредственный столяр, ты конгениальный мастер!!! Восхищён!!!
Wow‼️Super impressed‼️Love that you care about the details. My Dad was a Chemist then an Aviation Engineer then ended being a Master Carpenter. He cared so much about the details! In the end, He would build things in the garage just as intricate and beautiful as what he produced at his big shop. I loved how his furniture looked good at 6 inches away as it did 6 feet away. Such a joy! New Subscriber!!
👍 Heckin awesome! I love how you take the time to give us the full story. I feel like a lot of folks would cut out the best bits. Your personality and thought process comes through most when you make “mistakes” Keep making them 🙂
I think it came out really beautiful. Living in a part of No. Cal that burns just about every other year.... I like it. Love that you show the "not perfect" parts. Makes it far more relatable. :)
👍 absolutely stunning table ... Cam dont be too hard on yourself. I think you are very much like your friends dad and so resigned to repeating a task without any cussing. You are in my opinion way beyond a RUclips wood worker or wood craftsman, you are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN who 1. happens to enjoy what you do and 2. are not satisfied with anything short of total excellence... I applaud you. For the inspiration of us all please keep doing these types of projects. Oh, not to forget Scott, great job on the videos and the editing 👏 👍 a pleasure to watch.
👍 great ratio of epoxy to wood (for me anything over about 80% wood feels good) also love the grain match on both top and sides really makes the waterfall look exceptional.
With all the time, energy and effort that went into this project, curiosity sent me to your store... Sold out and worth every penny. Excellent work and massive talent.
I concur sir, off with the p-word dad’s heads that watch woodworking with a girl. How about telling their wives to watch cartoons, cheerleading, cooking or something girls like to do in life. How many female carpenters are there in this world, maybe 6. lol not enough to even speak on. What is going on today that a grown man will ask another man to not cruse on his on video that he does for a living? Seriously, I will repeat the quote. Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men. Guess what stage the dad with the five year old is on? Weak men and what is next, hard times. Then we will get some strong men again.
👍 Big props to Scott, editing together such a complex project so we can just chill and follow along must be v difficult! Also thank you for trying such crazy projects, I’m a hobbyist crafter so seeing you try burning + epoxy + exposed wood is incredible, all the tiny detail work that has to happen for that is crazy impressive!
👍 Even if people don’t like the gorgeous tables you make, which I actually do love them, it’s just as much fun to watch you use all those cool tools you have. Great video.
There is no bad ideas only trial and error. Don’t downgrade yourself. You are an exceptional furniture maker,designer, carpenter. Don’t worry about what people say because they probably don’t know half of what you know
Your work and determination is absolutely amazing! I would love to see more burnt wood projects, and which woods create the best effects from the burning process.
I am watching you from IRAN (Persia), we are so picky when it comes to art, you have seen Persian carpet, architecture, woodwork and.... I can tell you, you are one real artist.
About swear words, there is a little woodworking shed in Bethlehem and there is a carpenter working there, he hits his thumb, and suddenly the door opens and a kid is asking his father: "father, did you call me?"
Hey Cam, I watch with my 4 year old son and he loves to swear. 🙄😔😒. He uses it appropriately and has the right inflection EVERY time. I don’t swear but there are colorful uncles in his life and children at school who love to proclaim their new found words at gym time. Anyway, I’ve been able to curb his habit with a firm word but I wanted you to know I won’t stop watching with him in the room. Apparently, he is smart enough to understand not to repeat everything he hears grown ups say and do. 😂 Kudos to you on the break of your channel. Sorry for the long read. ☺️
My wife and I enjoyed the entire process! We haven't watched any of your videos before but we are definitely subscribers now and are looking forward to more content like this! Fantastic job!
Спасибо за русские субтитры и перевод. Мне очень нравится подобные вещи, кропотливая работа над каждой деталью. Сам я когда-то занимался ювелирным делом в качестве хобби, и понимаю, что значит часами сидеть над маленькой деталью. Надеюсь, однажды, эта чёртова война закончится, и я смогу вернутся в свою страну к своему любимому хобби. Как же я скучаю по этому(

That is absolutely stunning! Hurts my soul that I can't sit and look at it daily. The care you took in making it is as impressive to me as the finished piece of art! Well done!!!....seems terribly inadequate, but apropos at the same time! Love it!!!❤❤❤
The result is amazing. But also the whole process is so much fun to watch. Scott is a great addition to the videos and the conversations and thought process are really entertaining.
It looks great, I only wish I had the tools and shop. I made a dulcimer once while in a VA treatment prooogram, and was amazed at the simplicity yet time in preparing forms and molds. I went off the plan a bit using different types and colors of wood. I blew myself away at how nice it looked and sounded, my cousin paid us a visit from California, he's an actor in Hollywood. Man did it sound cool, ever since then I've been more interested in woodworking. Have you seen grandpa amu, old Chinese woodwooker.? He makes the most amazing things, with just hand tools, using no screws or nails. Brilliant gentleman, I think you'll enjoy his videos. Again, very nice job!
👍 absolutely gorgeous table! I'm in the process of making my first epoxy table and looking forward to the journey making more. I appreciate your content and ideas! Wishing you the best with your next project 🙂
It’s your channel, cuss if you want. I’m not offended by it at all. Your projects are beautiful! Sometimes not really my style but I still admire all the hard work you put in.
I haven't watched a wood working video before this one. I used to wood work and have a garage filled with tools that I haven't used in years. Life got busy in jobs businesses and kids now I'm retired and ranching spread to thin and I realize the technology of the craft left me behind. Pretty cool stuff. I do more welding repairs to stuff than wood working and hoof trimming more than miter trimming but I am fascinated and perhaps my old carcass has some projects left in it. Thank you
that was the first time I've watched any video like this all the way to the end, and love the commentary and the wit. gorgeous looking table and subscribed . watching from Grimsby in the UK.
I love watching your channel, and I watch John also. You guys are teaching me a lot, and I'm starting to do my own woodworking. Thank you for all you do!
Awesome Sam. What a beautiful piece of wood. Red wood here in Australia but much harder. Thanks for alleviating my concerns about how it came in to existence.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire video. Both I and my wife (who’ll watch later) have always had the desire to do more work working. Never having the extra time or the equipment at the same time has left us retired wannabes who dream and live vicariously through fine, detailed oriented craftspersons as yourself. Btw, my wife was a professional videographer and video production editor. From shooting sports stars and famous actors in commercials to boring corporate or industrial footage. Plus jobs where she hung out of helicopters to film panoramic scenes or shots of Air Force jets doing rolls as they passed scary close. She & I can appreciate what Steve adds to the mix. More than most realize. Take care and keep on making new pieces and video’s!
I’ve tried to do these 45’s but failed every single time. I’ve even done small test pieces but just can’t seem to get the fit just perfect. Same with my attempts at getting a clean fitting bow-tie. Pisses me off. I can’t afford the damaskus chisels. I sharpen my tools often & am quite anal with getting a proper edge. Part of my issue is having a (VERY SMALL) working area. Anyway, I do appreciate how well you illustrate the fine points of your craft. You help with getting me to try new techniques, ideas & projects. Thank You. Been a fan for a long time. 😊
I love watching woodworking. I make very crude picture frames, shelves & such. Recently found your videos and love them. Thank you and please keep uploading....

As a side note, When a gemstone is cut it is cut in two operations, the Pavilion or pointed side and then transfer dopped to cut the crown and table. The transfer uses epoxy or shellac and it mutes the sparkle or life of the cut until it's finished. I feel like I felt when I finished cutting a stone when you reveal the finish on the pieces you do. 19 hrs was the longest cut I ever did. Thank you.
👍 Absolutely love this table. Love your channel, your humor and your creativity and ideas. You and Scott definitely make a great team. Greetings from Cape Town, South African 🇿🇦
👍 for "super stable." That's gorgeous, and I think it's a good example to show that fine craftswork requires patient, intense, close-in work. It's not all about buffers and magic potions. Good for you for sticking with this one. I wish I could buy it and put it in a place of honor.
I love the way you are humble about your skills and not only quick to ask for help but just as quick to give them credit. Chapeau, Sir. 😊
This was my first time ever watching this type of video, and I was totally captivated from the beginning to the absolute very end. Also I'm amazed as to the amount of hard work and attention to detail it took to complete your table. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Thanks bro.
👍the contrast, the gradient and the weirdly elegant leg... what a beautiful combination of features. i believe you don't give yourself enough credit, this is yet another incredible piece.
Consider this a thumbs up. I don't know why more people don't do a black background for an epoxy inlay or use a black epoxy. That's BEAUTIFUL. It was SO much work, but you have created a functional piece of art that will last for centuries. Phenomenal!
👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!
Какая титаническая работа, сколько терпения надо, поражаюсь... у меня бы никогда не хватило бы силы воли закончить такой проект до конца! И ты не непосредственный столяр, ты конгениальный мастер!!! Восхищён!!!
The super wet look with matte wood looks really great
Wow‼️Super impressed‼️Love that you care about the details. My Dad was a Chemist then an Aviation Engineer then ended being a Master Carpenter. He cared so much about the details! In the end, He would build things in the garage just as intricate and beautiful as what he produced at his big shop. I loved how his furniture looked good at 6 inches away as it did 6 feet away. Such a joy! New Subscriber!!
The algorithm brought me here. Never a fan of woodworking and carpentry but I found your videos somewhat therapeutic. Kudos to you.
Oh wow that end result was stunning, the charred wood in gloss has so much depth it's insane, looks 3 dimensional, just beautiful. 😍
👍 Heckin awesome! I love how you take the time to give us the full story. I feel like a lot of folks would cut out the best bits. Your personality and thought process comes through most when you make “mistakes”
Keep making them 🙂
I think it came out really beautiful. Living in a part of No. Cal that burns just about every other year.... I like it. Love that you show the "not perfect" parts. Makes it far more relatable. :)
👍 absolutely stunning table ... Cam dont be too hard on yourself. I think you are very much like your friends dad and so resigned to repeating a task without any cussing. You are in my opinion way beyond a RUclips wood worker or wood craftsman, you are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN who 1. happens to enjoy what you do and 2. are not satisfied with anything short of total excellence... I applaud you. For the inspiration of us all please keep doing these types of projects. Oh, not to forget Scott, great job on the videos and the editing 👏 👍 a pleasure to watch.
👍Awesome job and awesome honesty. I'm 62 years old and I learn A LOT watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
The burned table was always my favorite. Great work!
That's insane. That's insane..that's insane. That's insane. Absolutely meticulous work and the flawlessness explodes from it.
👍 great ratio of epoxy to wood (for me anything over about 80% wood feels good) also love the grain match on both top and sides really makes the waterfall look exceptional.
With all the time, energy and effort that went into this project, curiosity sent me to your store... Sold out and worth every penny. Excellent work and massive talent.
Please don't label yourself mediocre , you are a master craftsman, loving your videos, and your transparency when stuff goes wrong is refreshing
Finding the means to stay humble, is one of the best ways to stay open to learning, and seeking advice - instead of letting pride get in the way.
A fool calls himself wise while a wise man knows himself to be a fool
He Remains Humble, so that those may Witness his Greatness with Thine Own 👀 and Sing his praises for all to Hear ;*
MASTER MISOGYNIST!
Scott is a goddamn treasure, and I can't imagine videos without him. You two are an incredible team. :)
I concur sir, off with the p-word dad’s heads that watch woodworking with a girl. How about telling their wives to watch cartoons, cheerleading, cooking or something girls like to do in life. How many female carpenters are there in this world, maybe 6. lol not enough to even speak on. What is going on today that a grown man will ask another man to not cruse on his on video that he does for a living? Seriously, I will repeat the quote. Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men. Guess what stage the dad with the five year old is on? Weak men and what is next, hard times. Then we will get some strong men again.
He's a goddamn misogynist!
I like the Jeremy Clarkson, James May analogy. POWERRR!!!
👍 Big props to Scott, editing together such a complex project so we can just chill and follow along must be v difficult!
Also thank you for trying such crazy projects, I’m a hobbyist crafter so seeing you try burning + epoxy + exposed wood is incredible, all the tiny detail work that has to happen for that is crazy impressive!
👍 Even if people don’t like the gorgeous tables you make, which I actually do love them, it’s just as much fun to watch you use all those cool tools you have. Great video.
There is no bad ideas only trial and error. Don’t downgrade yourself. You are an exceptional furniture maker,designer, carpenter. Don’t worry about what people say because they probably don’t know half of what you know
35:56 “please don’t tell my wives” 😂
Your work and determination is absolutely amazing! I would love to see more burnt wood projects, and which woods create the best effects from the burning process.
I am watching you from IRAN (Persia), we are so picky when it comes to art, you have seen Persian carpet, architecture, woodwork and.... I can tell you, you are one real artist.
Oh great more misogyniy!
@@bernadetteabohan I am sorry, more misogynie ? what do you mean??
@@bernadetteabohan misogyny *
About swear words, there is a little woodworking shed in Bethlehem and there is a carpenter working there, he hits his thumb, and suddenly the door opens and a kid is asking his father: "father, did you call me?"
LMFAO
Hey Cam, I watch with my 4 year old son and he loves to swear. 🙄😔😒. He uses it appropriately and has the right inflection EVERY time. I don’t swear but there are colorful uncles in his life and children at school who love to proclaim their new found words at gym time. Anyway, I’ve been able to curb his habit with a firm word but I wanted you to know I won’t stop watching with him in the room. Apparently, he is smart enough to understand not to repeat everything he hears grown ups say and do. 😂 Kudos to you on the break of your channel. Sorry for the long read. ☺️
Bravo to this! ❤
Flecking luv it
My wife and I enjoyed the entire process! We haven't watched any of your videos before but we are definitely subscribers now and are looking forward to more content like this! Fantastic job!
Спасибо за русские субтитры и перевод.
Мне очень нравится подобные вещи, кропотливая работа над каждой деталью. Сам я когда-то занимался ювелирным делом в качестве хобби, и понимаю, что значит часами сидеть над маленькой деталью. Надеюсь, однажды, эта чёртова война закончится, и я смогу вернутся в свою страну к своему любимому хобби. Как же я скучаю по этому(

The idea that a 5 year old can't hear a swear word once in a while is insane level sheltering.
Low level people can't speak without swearing!
Correct
The day they start beeping out swear words on TV in my country, I'll move to another!
29:11 Gotcha! You're done!!! 😂😂😂😂
Cam, I absoulutly love your channel. This may be my favorite project you have done. Keep up the awesome work!!
For anyone that's curious, the grand total at the end came to $81,949💸
i hope 7 million views made that worth it
Not a bad price. Totally worth it

@@amoeba_xdoes your fingers hurt from typing full words 😂😂
@ No, but my brain hurts from reading your improper grammar.
re: adult language - That was a great response that basically boiled down to "quit whining, I use less profanity than Marvel." I love this channel.
"Self-selecting sample size" is formally called survivorship bias
That is absolutely stunning! Hurts my soul that I can't sit and look at it daily. The care you took in making it is as impressive to me as the finished piece of art! Well done!!!....seems terribly inadequate, but apropos at the same time! Love it!!!❤❤❤
Cam, you're not a Boomer...you're in the GenX crowd...own it.
Sigh. I did the math for you. It's $81,800. My ADHD brain couldn't handle the list of un-totaled costs... You're welcome ;)
Haha you think the Earth is a spinning ball lol
The result is amazing. But also the whole process is so much fun to watch. Scott is a great addition to the videos and the conversations and thought process are really entertaining.
"I have wives"... (Whoops) LOL
It looks great, I only wish I had the tools and shop. I made a dulcimer once while in a VA treatment prooogram, and was amazed at the simplicity yet time in preparing forms and molds. I went off the plan a bit using different types and colors of wood. I blew myself away at how nice it looked and sounded, my cousin paid us a visit from California, he's an actor in Hollywood. Man did it sound cool, ever since then I've been more interested in woodworking. Have you seen grandpa amu, old Chinese woodwooker.? He makes the most amazing things, with just hand tools, using no screws or nails. Brilliant gentleman, I think you'll enjoy his videos. Again, very nice job!
👍 absolutely gorgeous table!
I'm in the process of making my first epoxy table and looking forward to the journey making more.
I appreciate your content and ideas!
Wishing you the best with your next project 🙂
It’s your channel, cuss if you want. I’m not offended by it at all. Your projects are beautiful! Sometimes not really my style but I still admire all the hard work you put in.
I love this video and the desk you’ve made, what an eyecatcher 😍
That desk is 🔥!!! I love the contrast between the gloss of the epoxy and the matte of the wood!
Wow that is GORGEOUS, I was a bit surprised when you stained the thinner side black, but it looked really good in the end. Incredible.
I haven't watched a wood working video before this one. I used to wood work and have a garage filled with tools that I haven't used in years. Life got busy in jobs businesses and kids now I'm retired and ranching spread to thin and I realize the technology of the craft left me behind. Pretty cool stuff. I do more welding repairs to stuff than wood working and hoof trimming more than miter trimming but I am fascinated and perhaps my old carcass has some projects left in it. Thank you
Amazing end result, persistence over resistance a great commitment to your work really enjoyed watching!
that was the first time I've watched any video like this all the way to the end, and love the commentary and the wit.
gorgeous looking table and subscribed .
watching from Grimsby in the UK.
Love the video. Been subscribed for a while, and love your videos. Massive respect for your craftsmanship and patience.
I love watching your channel, and I watch John also. You guys are teaching me a lot, and I'm starting to do my own woodworking. Thank you for all you do!
Awesome Sam. What a beautiful piece of wood. Red wood here in Australia but much harder. Thanks for alleviating my concerns about how it came in to existence.
VERY NICE! …appreciate hearing about the “nuts and bolts” in the process 👍🏽 and of course the finished piece!
Eres increíble, edición, trabajo perfecto.
Primera vez que veo tu contenido y me parece espectacular.
Sigue mejorando cada día !
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire video. Both I and my wife (who’ll watch later) have always had the desire to do more work working. Never having the extra time or the equipment at the same time has left us retired wannabes who dream and live vicariously through fine, detailed oriented craftspersons as yourself. Btw, my wife was a professional videographer and video production editor. From shooting sports stars and famous actors in commercials to boring corporate or industrial footage. Plus jobs where she hung out of helicopters to film panoramic scenes or shots of Air Force jets doing rolls as they passed scary close. She & I can appreciate what Steve adds to the mix. More than most realize. Take care and keep on making new pieces and video’s!
I knew it was sturdy. Those gussets provide plenty of support from lateral forces. Beauty!
I’ve tried to do these 45’s but failed every single time. I’ve even done small test pieces but just can’t seem to get the fit just perfect. Same with my attempts at getting a clean fitting bow-tie. Pisses me off. I can’t afford the damaskus chisels. I sharpen my tools often & am quite anal with getting a proper edge. Part of my issue is having a (VERY SMALL) working area. Anyway, I do appreciate how well you illustrate the fine points of your craft. You help with getting me to try new techniques, ideas & projects. Thank You. Been a fan for a long time. 😊
Ваши проекты восхищают.А скромность мастера-украшает человека.Спасибо.🔥🔥🔥
Wow ! This table is awesome. I’m a steel working guy but there’s just something about wood that sets it apart from all other materials. Great work 👍
You are my favorite table builder on RUclips. You are fantastic. Thank you dude
Im not a wood worker but I absolutely enjoyed your video. I was especially entertained by your honest, candid and witty narrative. Thank you
the process from start to finish was amazing to watch. I would love a piece like this in my house. Great work as usual.
I love watching woodworking. I make very crude picture frames, shelves & such. Recently found your videos and love them. Thank you and please keep uploading....
