I was thinking about the other day. Something about the vibe here is different. Like bourbon moth or Keith Johnson feels like if I had enough money I could order a commission but something about blacktail feels like even if I had enough money I would still need to "know a guy" to get a piece. It feels more exclusive for some reason
This is a hilarious amount of work for what was boiled down into a 6 minute denim sommelier bit. I'm here for it. Dying laughing the entire time. I also spent 6 weeks on a nightstand build just so I could do a post about my SO wanting a One Night Stand for her birthday.
Indeed thy the words of thee wise one who we will shall learn from all hail wise one❤❤😂😂 jk all jokes aside you should def make a video about this it will be a hilariously serious video?
I just stumbled on your channel. My handy, wonderful husband of 40 years, suddenly, passed away recently. A couple of days ago I wandered out to the shop to find a tool and realized things were out of place. It hit me that he wasn’t feeling well far longer than I knew. He left so many “honey-do” fix-it projects unfinished… and I feel bad I didn’t know he had so many balls in the air. I complained way more than I should have (I wish I could take it all back) The shop was his turf..mysterious and unknown territory to me. As a spur of the moment DIYer I would drag something outside to sand and paint..get in way too deep for my pre-school skill level… then suddenly my knight in sawdust armor would appear with just the right tool and a saw horse to save the day. I must have provided him with endless hours of entertainment! We live on a few acres out in the country, so i found 5 gallon unfinished “project buckets” one for working on the fence, another for the irrigation, electric fence stuff, horse shelter lights, chicken coop heater, tractor blades (?) I think? I had no idea he had so many tools.. and this is just the small shop/garage I haven’t been out to the barn where the big saws and scary tools are. I just found a drill..but it’s so heavy. I used a hand screw driver and took forever to tighten up the dining room chairs.. he could have done it in 10 minutes.. Anyway, I started organizing the screw and nails, drill bits (why do you need so many?) those round sharp things that make holes in wood (didn’t know he had those!) So I came to Ytube to find out what some of these tools are and how to use them..and here you are using jigs and routers, band saws and all the stuff he has. I’m touched to hear you talk about your wife and am blown away by your talent. My guess is she knows what a gem you are and loves all your projects! More than once, I found him working in clothes I didn’t recognize that he “had for years” he was his own man when it came to clothes 😮and I loved him anyway 😉 Carry on! Good job love your work I’ll be watching..and learning.
Madame it is apparent from your comments that you loved your husband very much. He in turn came to your rescue to build or provide his custom builds for whatever your heart desired. My condolences to you on your loss. It is a terrible thing to lose your one true love...may you find comfort watching this channel to see that you and your husband were not the only woodworker husband and loving wife.
You write beautifully. I felt your story: the cautious wondering into a space that felt familiar at surface, yet so strange. He probably knows where every nail is located. I can see you getting to know each tool & telling these stories. I’d read that book. Sending love to you.
@@MrWyzdumEverybody needs money to live. Would be nice if it truly was free in every aspect but it’s the next best thing: being able to make a living while taking money from no one, except the massive corporation RUclips.
@@MrWyzdum No shit, Sherlock. Obviously he's making money from views and sponsorships. That's not the point. He's still doing it for people who can't afford it, and he often even donates the extra mowers and equipment he gets from sponsorships to the people he helps out.
@@MrWyzdumIt’s not cynical, it’s fact, and he’s open about it. People watching and buying merch and such is what lets him do free work. He says as much in many videos. He’s very transparent about it.
I never think I'm going to watch your video's all the way through... and yet here I am for the umpteenth time finishing another one in full. I do believe that you inspire the rest of us to strive for exceptionalism. Cheers M8.
What I loved most about this video was the way your lovely wife looks at you. It is so obvious that she is absolutely in love with you - and you with her. While your self-depreciating humor makes me laugh, that wonderful love-filled banter between the two of you made my heart soar and brought tears of happiness to my eyes. God bless you both!
XD cuz hes al the day long away and earning cash what she can spend.... XDDD hes a sugardaddy.... to me she tells: stop shpwing me this shiot, go do some stuff, i need more cash"
@@stefanr9653If you have followed Cam for long, you would know she has always made more than him. Money had nothing to do with this. He wanted to show his wife his work without forcing it on her. He did it this way because he knows she likes having choices which is very kind and generous of him.
I love that Scott has turned into more than just filming and editing. You guys work well creatively together. It's nice to have a second set of hands in the shop. I think we all can say that.
You left out the very best part of your first Denim/Epoxy run. When you walked into the shop and there was a new 1/2” thick epoxy floor. One of the funniest moments of any RUclips video.
That comment had me so confused. He’s a unicorn! not because of the skills, but the force of willpower/curiosity and genuine intrigue to creativity. Absolutely bizarre someone calling him ugly, that a handsome man
Hey Cam, I'm a blacksmith and I've worked with damascus steel a bit. One thing that struck me when you said that the Giraffe pattern being disappointing is that all the best patterns in steel are the more symmetrical or ordered ones. I think the style is organic and random enough on its own, so an ordered base pattern tends to look best. I also have two suggestions I'd love to see you try to mimic: first, feather (sometimes called flame) pattern and second: a mosaic of some sort, the most common being "star", "burst" or "explosion" patterns. I could try to explain these, but I think it's best if you just look them up here on RUclips. Great video as always!
Honestly, that Black & Tan goes perfectly with your furniture and the room position. It hit home as soon as you lined it up. Feels like a real coffee morning moment captured in a table top. Great work.
As an architect, I'd love to see a video tour of your home showcasing all the exquisite woodwork and furnitures, like a parade home display. Your work is truly commendable! 👏🏻
Being vulnerable with what you don't know, showing us your mistakes and trying stuff you shouldn't do is part of what makes this channel successful. You come across as a hard working guy who is constantly learning and growing and that's super relatable.
I work in the paint dept in a big box store, and our record was 52, so your wife is the new record holder. Congrats! Have you thought about painting the wall plaid?
I may have to go and check my local paint store’s record which is in Australia. Your wife might have a international record for the paint sample’s. All jokes aside that is one hell of a record to hold as I’m pretty sure there is a limit to how much you can take in one visit?.
Some people are so odd leaving comments like the one about your wife 😵💫 where does that kind of thought even come from 😵💫 I think you look great together, very well matched
It comes straight from jealousy. A woman like that is only with a man like this because he is perfect for her and nobody else in the world can replace the meaning he brings to her life. We find our counterparts through countless experiences together and most real relationships decide to become life long partners after very delicate consideration and checking off most or all the boxes on a personal checklist. People make comments like that when they feel empty and alone and they see someone else who is loved and successful in their relationships and life goals. He's a fun dude to watch, very skilled in his craft, physically he is highly capable and absolutely not a bad looking fella by any means. Straight up jealousy.
@@ez6790 I’ll just riff off your comment because I’m not sure I’ll ever find the offending comment. Plus you’ve saved me a lot of time trying to say something pleasant. And for what it’s worth, I have to say that Cam is a good looking man…for a guy.
This is honestly so sweet, it seems like you guys have a very healthy relationship! You made a real effort to wow her with the options and some patterns / color combos that you knew she'd like and some you knew she wouldn't, but, ultimately, still made her a top that perfectly suited her taste and respected her decision, despite your own opinions. I got such a kick out of your wine tasting-esque display of the different tops / bases, your delivery was spot-on. And props to your wife for genuinely comparing the different styles in an attempt to find one she would like, even after seeing the oak top ;)
this is the first time i've seen this kind of interaction between you and your wife on camera and i can definitely see it now, why your wife is with you.............. you make her laugh! that is clear by the way she smiles and laughs around you. with all the train wreck of marriages on display these days it's nice to see a couple who clearly still love each other and enjoy each other's company. i wish you both many, many more happy times down the road.
Hey Cam! I've got a planer tip for you. To avoid tearout when planing across the grain - start by feeding the piece about an 3/4 inch through the planer so that it creates a lip. Pull it back carefully. Then spin it around (so the lip is at the back and will go through the planer last) and run it through normally. By doing that you'll essentially pre-cut the layers that will not be supported by layers behind them and thus will blowout if run normally. An old woodworker with all his fingers showed this one to me. It works like a charm.
Love the denim. How many layers do you use? My wife watched this with me and asked if I could make her one. I am retired educator with minimal skills. Thanks. Love your work. So entertaining.
Just wanted to say your channel in particular has inspired me. Im a 46 year old father. A vet and i glaze tubs. Im going to start my you tube channel and im going to follo2 some formulas you use. You are awesome. Easy to see why you are blessed.
I don't know why, but I can't stop watching these denim videos. Island was my favorite for the color contrast. The boring oak reveal was hilarious. Keep it up man!
Scott The Video Guy is an absolute MVP. Amazing footage, editing AND he makes sure that Cam doesn't end up accidentally killing himself by doing the worst possible decisions at every turn!
Hi Cam, I just wanted to thank you. I am from Germany and currently in the beginning of my training to become a professional woodworker, and thats by no small part because of your awesome channel and builds. I started at Uni in October '23 studying to become a teacher but it didn't feel right. Decided to look into woodworking and stumbled upon your channel, wich really helped deciding that this is my way to go forward. I've probalby watched most of your videos at least 5 times if not more, i love seeing woodworking, love english and to be fair, german woodworking channels are just mostly boring explanations or reviews, no entertainment. So yeah, long story short. Thank you so much for helping me finding my way in life, finding my passion. And for making everyday just that little bit better and enjoyable. Love your work.
Здравствуйте. В видео вы были огорчены что дерево проявилось при шлифовке на одной из основ, но мне видится что это наоборот классно смотрится! Попробуйте специально сделать стол где будет джинсовая ткань пересекаться с деревянной основой - это будет довольно контрастно и необычно выглядеть. А еще у вас действительно интересные рассказы, я уже много видео на канале успел посмотреть, в плане сочетания работы и рассказов о жизни и жене, классно!) Обучающих видео или же просто показывающих свою работу авторов много, а вот так, чтобы не навязчивые рассказы и труд - нет, а идея действительно достойная
When you mentioned a commenter saying hot people are only with ugly people if the ugly person is rich, I immediately disagreed, because obviously hot people are often with ugly people if the ugly person is funny. Then I saw your face and thought, "how hot is his wife that people think HE is ugly?" And also, "good thing he's not ugly, because he isn't very funny." Then I saw you showing off your creations to your wife and realized you simply save all your comedy for her in particular, and decided I needed to comment to tell you just how cute you guys are together. Oh, right, your videos are cool too: even though I think I share your wife's taste in furniture rather than yours, it's always delightful to watch and listen to the process, especially as a novice woodworker who's got quite a bit to learn.
people who don't think Cam is funny are not listening closely enough to the sly jokes and innuendo throughout the video, like around the 13-minute mark. "Think about something else" "I do a practice glue-up by myself" 😂
Modern women belonging mainly to this current generation are kind of a dumpster fire, and one can tell this is true, because they're all over social media, telling on themselves. They are, to borrow from Rodney Dangerfield in the movie "Caddyshack," "Why tigers eat their young." It really is, frankly disturbing.
One, Cam is not ugly, he's actually quite handsome. Two, he's only not funny to people who don't recognise humour if it's anything deeper than dad jokes. He's hilarious and does sarcasm well.
People called this guy ugly?? That's weird. He's a good looking dude with a good-looking wife. If you had some kind of Human Judging Contest and came back and said "hey, check it out, this guy scored the exact same as his wife" and showed me video of both of them, I'd say "huh, yeah, that looks right. But I didn't know you could show humans like at the fair and I'm kind of weirded out and I think we shouldn't talk anymore."
Thank you so much for mentioning the Alex Snodgrass video! I'm an Industrial Tech teacher and properly setting up your bandsaw isn't something they teach you in college. I've been fumbling through setting up the bandsaws for the kids for the past seven years. I can't thank you enough for sharing that information!
U can tell they really have a great relationsship, by the way she looks at him, smiling and laughing af his shilly jokes she problerbly have heard a milions times before. Him, still trying to impress the girl he fell in love with along time a go, going the ekstra extra mile, making her happy is just so lovely to see. Now THATS true love, respect, and admiration for your partner, its true love by the looks of it, and true love stands against all ods, love conquers all - and makes alle the sacraffisess worth it in the end! You are very blessed to have each other in your life! Much Peace brother, and keep up the amazing work!
She's just nervous in front of the camera. And her behavior basically shows she thinks of him as a big simp. The way they interact looks like they barely even know interact with each other. She's probably out traveling all the time talking with other dudes while he stays at home and builds shit all day because shes never home.
Really liked the video. As a married man, it felt good to see that with time you get to know your wife and before she chose the table top you already knew what she would prefer. I liked the dark denim
I was in aerospace composite fab/layup for a few years. I would suggest if you're going to have a bag that big you should have multiple vacuum ports. Also you want something like non perforated a5000 and breather rope and you want the breather mat to cover the entire interior of the bag to help with even circulation. Also, if you want your plies to be really tight and strong to the mold. Less resin. I recommend a couple of compaction steps in between a handful of lay ups. I'm a little dusty on the info as it's been about 3½ years. Our process was nice and tight as it was or aerospace control surfaces (some of the highest stressed components). I wouldn't mind sharing more suggestions or bounce idea, trouble shoot issue, etc.
You should make an hour long video of you just staring at various projects. It’s so funny that you said it. Anyone that is into any craft at all would probably love it too. I spend hours just looking at things that I’m doing and then when I go back to the video I just laugh at it all. 8 hour day, 1 hour setting up tools, 1 hour putting them away, 2 hours looking for tools I just had in my hand, 1 hour actually getting work done and 3 hours staring at the project without any motion all out.
My boyfriend is a huuuuuude denim enthusiast and when I showed him the Damascus denim table, he said he wished you would’ve emulated the wear pattern of jeans more (even though he did think the table was cool still). I think the palm design really hit that nail on the head
"If it turns out lame, call it a Bourbon Moth table base or something." LMAO! FnA Cotton, that was a good burn. Blacktail Studio and Bourbon Moth are two of my absolute favorite woodworkers!!! I hope you two become besties. I would love to see a big collaboration.
"I have a wife who likes options... ...presumably not in a marital sense". Only someone secure and confident in their relationship could utter such words. Lovely to hear mate and may you both enjoy a long and happy life together, as my wife and I are enjoying! Cheers and love your work - from Sydney - Dave PS. Denim looks amazing IMHO!
I stumbled across your channel many years ago, you have bought me so much joy especially when it can’t sleep at night! I have the crappiest small shed, which includes a fine Bosch chop saw which made me 9 fingered during lockdown and a router which I bought 30 years ago with a box of twenty fancy bits but still to use. Anyway thanks and carry on inspiring the rest of us!
I love how going into this, you already knew you needed a non-denim option but you didn't let that hold you back. You still took the time to make all the options you needed to see anyways. Well done!
Love how when you put out the word that you were hiring, you Said you didn't want someone to intervene unless you're hurt. Now Scott has slowly but surely become your right hand.
You are very cute couple! I love how patient she is, and that she contain herself even if she dislike some design! This is exactly how a perfect craftsman's wife, is! Beautiful work on these tables, Cam!
In 2010, my fiancé and I moved across the country and bought a house in a new city. We went into Home Depot and separately gathered paint samples. We literally came back with the exact same 3. Then he picked tiles for the backsplash as I was looking looking looking at tiles. What he brought me was exactly what I was looking for lol. We damn did get married! I dunno how I got so lucky to meet him.
the guy who asked why she was with him.. its not money.. its how he makes her laugh. she clearly likes spending time with him. i hope i find a girl one day who giggles like that with me :')
You're so intelligent and humble. You undersell your brilliance and instead just make self-effacing jokes. You're truly a sight to behold, and I admire your work, I see you. I get you, keep up the good good brilliant sir.
@BlacktailStudio (Cam) I love how you've evolved over the years from straight up wood working projects into working with different mediums. Also I've never commented on your videos before, but over the last two years I've really come to appreciate your subtle (or not) dirty jokes. This video was no exception! As a carpenter from WA, now living in SE Asia, your videos are flippin awesome because I feel like I'm hanging out in one of my buddy's garages back home. We used to bring the scraps home from job sites and make things like 'Little Free Libraries' and such. I'm making a trip home this summer and visiting some friends that live close to you. It would be a trip to run into at the local watering hole or somewhere in town. I know that's not likely, but thanks for being your authentic self my dude! ~Max
One wine maker mentioned the "mound of despair" the dimple in the bottom of hand blown bottles that ensure they can stand up; it was the mound of despair because you thought there was a full glass left, but there wasn't. this seems similar to cutting grooves in the bottom to help it lay flat.
I love your work, I always saw the carpenter's work with admiration. I am from San Luis - Argentina. My wife says they make a beautiful couple and don't listen to those who criticize. Greetings and I will continue watching your videos. great great edit ha!
I am 18, and have virtually no interest in woodworking. However, I always look forward to your videos because of your constant talking and humour. Love the videos!
I REALLY like how the "Patriot" design turned out, it's my personal fave, and I'm Canadian lol My wife and I agreed on that one, as well as the Dragon, the Black & Grey, and the Islands. All in all, a wonderful finished project and it's always fun to watch you go through the process.
I have nothing but respect for all craftsmen. Especially that take on large projects. I make leather straps for watches and whenever a strap comes that requires a different approach than the norm, I literally play the process like for days before taking them on just because I get nervous or try to come up and convince myself that this is how I am going to work on this.
The pepperoni table, because when you said "raindrops" it instantly became THAT, and I loved it right then. I also find your running commentary just delightful. thanks!
A guy that my partner was dating for a minute actually bought her a green necklace because he said it matched her eyes, which are actually blue. He wasn't around for much longer.
Realize you're way past opinions on this since it was 8 months ago, but I've recently discovered your videos and I'm spending way too many hours watching them all (my excuse to not venture into the very cold shop). Love that raindrop one (pepperoni) especially on the round base. Incredible workmanship, super helpful tips/techniques, and great entertainment. Loving your videos.
After staring at these for a bit I think Dragon is my fave. I bet it would look great with a walnut base. Also I like your wife’s favorite base best too.
The underside Now hear my out … when you took them out of the vacuum bags around 9:40, there was a quick glimpse of the plywood on the bottom. If you used hardwood for a pattern, that could be sanded down for a wood “inlay” look. 🤷♂️ Great vids, always glad to watch and kudos on the Woodcraft deal 👍
Dragon stands above the rest, with paisley in second. Wouldn’t mind seeing Dragon in my basement that I’m nearly done finishing. The jokes per minute in this video were off the charts. Fantastic vid, fantastic sense of humor.
At an old job, I talked my boss into trying an epoxy pour. We did some research and it was suggested we do it under vacuum to minimize bubbles (this was 20 years ago, no you tube) We did a test with a small jar of epoxy. Then when we went for our actual pour, the hose to the vacuum loosened and ended up sucking up and couple cups of epoxy and ruined the vacuum to the vacuum press. Now I always get nervous seeing people doing epoxy pours with a vacuum press.
I've always appreciated your channel for myriad reasons. But this video confirmed for me that you stand out for your humor and script content. Your self depricating humor and tongue in cheek dad jokes are awesome.
My favorite table was the dark denim Dragon, yes I’d put that in my house and it would be for what else my dragon collection. Love how you and your wife interact and how you joke about your work. I know I said earlier denim wasn’t really for me till I watched this. Stellar work.
I really loved this episode because, you added the human element of actually showing the process of your wife picking the top she loved most. I also like it because it was like a dessert tray of options that you might show to other clients : )
Cam that was one of the funniest videos you have made. Describing the patterns and coloring with your wife was a great touch! You are a great story teller and teacher! Love your videos.
Honestly, I liked all the table tops; I would put them on the wall as a work of art, not on a table. I'm learning a lot, the important thing is to launch yourself into new experiments without fear of being happy. Alfenas - Minas Gerais 🇧🇷
28:31 For the wobbly top, get a few (3 or 5) strips of metal (~1inch in width and 2mm in thickness) and weld them to resemble a ceiling fan. The centre of the fan can have the threads that bolt in. The "blades" can be bent ever so slightly to create a level surface and provide support without being visible. The table top will bolt in to the blades. The blades can be elongated to provide additional support for bigger table tops. More blades will also increase the support.
I agree. He's very handsome. Maybe that's why one shouldn't listen to rando shallow straight guys on the internet who are probably Andrew Tate disciples and think everything is about money.
someone who is uglier, just jealous of his wife, or a TROLL... Looks and Money are so superficial... intelligence, personality, morals, sense of humor, and creative talents are more important... there aren't any women worth trusting who would pick an ugly millionaire just for the money...
Good day to you. Delighted with what I saw!!! They made a table out of Denis - this is a gorgeous, fantastic idea that can only come to the mind of a gifted, talented person with incredible imagination!! I admire you. This is success😊. You are wonderful people, I wish you peace in your soul and understanding..🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂
You have exactly the right balance of knowledge and instinct when it comes to your work. In my lifetime of experience this is a rare occurrence. Absolutely stunning work.
Almost all options look great. Oak looks classic and fits perfectly under the base made. Regarding the countertops, without a doubt, we can immediately highlight Dragon, Patriot end Islands. If I choose the second category, I would also choose Lightning, Palm, Giraffe end Black & Gray. The remaining options are not so expressive or boring in color, but the design is acceptable. I would experiment with a combination of colors and patterns. I am sure that Pepperoni end Palm would look more impressive in dark colors.
I kinda like the islands, and that color scheme. I'm also with your wife in liking the darker denim ones. I actually had an idea for a table I think you should try. Take a slab with a varied wood grain pattern. Then grind down the slab into peaks and valleys going along the grain so that it looks like a landscape. Then fill it with layers of epoxy starting with a pale sky blue (or gray) epoxy and slowly getting more clear as the layers go up. So that it looks like a lake or foggy landscape.
The Islands and Burgundy tops were the ones that really stood out for me. So so different and absolutely a talking piece. Mind you, id have any of them. Amazing work as always...
Hey Cam, I found it Hilarious that at 06:00 you advise people on how it is better to give only little options to choose from for clients as they'll always be disapointed. And in the end you show your wife 10 versions of the tables and she picks the saddest one !! Aahahahaha! Keep the good work man, love your videos!
Haaa, I LOVE that you're going nuts with this. Now *I* wanna try doing it with layers of sheer fabric (tulle, shimmer chiffon, duochrome organza that's different hues depending on angle ), maybe even mushing it into the epoxy in random wavy patterns at different depths, or crumpling or pleating parts of it...
@@wachinpntdry. Right? That could end up being SO dimensional and cool-looking, esp with one of the shot/changeant organzas that have different hues for warp and weft threads so they shift between different colors.
Omg, I love all of this. If he could get a remnants box/grab bag kind of thing, but on a large scale... I'm trying to think what company might be best. Definitely someplace that would be willing to send lightweight stuff so that he'd be getting things like organza and tulle and... literally there would be so many options.
@@culturecrashAL I'm not sure sheer or very thin fabrics will work well but definitely would be interesting to see him add different fabrics to the mix!
My favorite pattern is the Black & Gray one. My favorite colors are the ones you used for Islands. Also, I love how you presented the tables as tastings.
I appreciate the comment about how much time you spend just starring. Sometimes I look for stuff to improve or projects to do and I feel incompetent when my only other point of reference is watching youtubers just blast through project after project, meanwhile I'm just staring what seems like 80+% of the time.
I like the color pairing of the Islands top with the first base. But that's just me. When planing end grain, I wet the wood first with alcohol or mineral spirits. The fibers sever better when wet. A sharp blade is a must and a low angle plane is helpful. But that was a lot of end grain to plane, so using the jointer was a better solution.
They are all very beautiful and different. 1- Islands, 2- Oak, 3- Patriot, 4- Giraffe. I love watching your craft and the process, and I appreciate your humor.
The palm pattern is my favorite. As I was watching this video, I kept thinking that Cam should do a build out of SpectraPly. SpectraPly is a layered material where each of the layers is a different color. The product comes in a variety of different color combinations. In order to make a flat table top that really showcased the material, he would probably have to work the top so that it isn’t flat and then pour a layer of epoxy resin to create a flat surface. And no, I am not affiliated with SpectraPly. The other thing that I kept thinking was that the obvious way to correct the misaligned hole on the table base was to fill the hole with a hardwood dowel and then drill the hole again.
I must say that all the samples you provided are of exceptional quality and it's difficult for me to single out one as my favorite. I appreciate the effort and dedication you put into creating each one of them. In fact, I believe all the samples should be showcased to the customers to give them the opportunity to choose the one that resonates with them the most. Love it love it ❤😊
I loved that you acknowledge and thank Scot on the base selection; and as well you asserting your own personality on cutting off the end of the piece to save face. Perfect balance of cool crediting a collaborator, and personal bravado! BTW, the Dragon is my favorite 🙂
All of them are beautiful, I love the black ones, I think you said in the video it was your favorite of the pick too…. But your wife also has a good taste because personally I don’t think you can compete with all natural patterns but as far as colors go. I’d choose your pick just because of the color
She married him because when she asked him "what do you bring to the table?", he answered "I bring 9 more".
😂😂
Naw man, he Dropped the BASE!!!
😂😅
It is a bit of a flex when you can say, "I built the table"
Lol
I don't know if you realise but what makes you much better than other woodworkers (apart from the amazing work) is the constant yapping we love it

You seem to have found your exact right community with this channel MrCsheller
damn this comment is hilarious, painful but funny
I just stumbled on your channel. My handy, wonderful husband of 40 years, suddenly, passed away recently. A couple of days ago I wandered out to the shop to find a tool and realized things were out of place. It hit me that he wasn’t feeling well far longer than I knew. He left so many “honey-do” fix-it projects unfinished… and I feel bad I didn’t know he had so many balls in the air. I complained way more than I should have (I wish I could take it all back) The shop was his turf..mysterious and unknown territory to me. As a spur of the moment DIYer I would drag something outside to sand and paint..get in way too deep for my pre-school skill level… then suddenly my knight in sawdust armor would appear with just the right tool and a saw horse to save the day. I must have provided him with endless hours of entertainment! We live on a few acres out in the country, so i found 5 gallon unfinished “project buckets” one for working on the fence, another for the irrigation, electric fence stuff, horse shelter lights, chicken coop heater, tractor blades (?) I think? I had no idea he had so many tools.. and this is just the small shop/garage I haven’t been out to the barn where the big saws and scary tools are. I just found a drill..but it’s so heavy. I used a hand screw driver and took forever to tighten up the dining room chairs.. he could have done it in 10 minutes.. Anyway, I started organizing the screw and nails, drill bits (why do you need so many?) those round sharp things that make holes in wood (didn’t know he had those!) So I came to Ytube to find out what some of these tools are and how to use them..and here you are using jigs and routers, band saws and all the stuff he has. I’m touched to hear you talk about your wife and am blown away by your talent. My guess is she knows what a gem you are and loves all your projects! More than once, I found him working in clothes I didn’t recognize that he “had for years” he was his own man when it came to clothes 😮and I loved him anyway 😉 Carry on! Good job love your work I’ll be watching..and learning.
My sincere condolences. It’s never easy. I wish the best for you.
Nancy
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing about him here ❤
Madame it is apparent from your comments that you loved your husband very much. He in turn came to your rescue to build or provide his custom builds for whatever your heart desired. My condolences to you on your loss. It is a terrible thing to lose your one true love...may you find comfort watching this channel to see that you and your husband were not the only woodworker husband and loving wife.
You write beautifully. I felt your story: the cautious wondering into a space that felt familiar at surface, yet so strange. He probably knows where every nail is located. I can see you getting to know each tool & telling these stories. I’d read that book. Sending love to you.
🙏🙏🙏
Love how you knew exactly what she would pick but still made all the options so you have fun making stuff.
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
I love the confidence she has to choose her favorite and hold true to honesty…even when he added,” this is my personal favorite”. 👍
Although I’m partial to wood grain, I love the dragon.

Shoutout to SB Mowing - "that nice kid that cuts people's grass for free" - a real hometown hero of mine here in Wichita!
i thought he was talking about Al Bladez, but that is ok, they are both nice kids
@@MrWyzdumEverybody needs money to live. Would be nice if it truly was free in every aspect but it’s the next best thing: being able to make a living while taking money from no one, except the massive corporation RUclips.
@@MrWyzdum No shit, Sherlock. Obviously he's making money from views and sponsorships. That's not the point. He's still doing it for people who can't afford it, and he often even donates the extra mowers and equipment he gets from sponsorships to the people he helps out.
That’s the kid!
@@MrWyzdumIt’s not cynical, it’s fact, and he’s open about it. People watching and buying merch and such is what lets him do free work. He says as much in many videos. He’s very transparent about it.
I never think I'm going to watch your video's all the way through... and yet here I am for the umpteenth time finishing another one in full. I do believe that you inspire the rest of us to strive for exceptionalism. Cheers M8.
What I loved most about this video was the way your lovely wife looks at you. It is so obvious that she is absolutely in love with you - and you with her. While your self-depreciating humor makes me laugh, that wonderful love-filled banter between the two of you made my heart soar and brought tears of happiness to my eyes. God bless you both!
Underrated comment. Very beautiful words!

@@stefanr9653If you have followed Cam for long, you would know she has always made more than him. Money had nothing to do with this. He wanted to show his wife his work without forcing it on her. He did it this way because he knows she likes having choices which is very kind and generous of him.
@@stefanr9653 The woman literally has a higher paying job than him.
Amen to that...
I love that Scott has turned into more than just filming and editing. You guys work well creatively together. It's nice to have a second set of hands in the shop. I think we all can say that.
Scott is the best
You left out the very best part of your first Denim/Epoxy run. When you walked into the shop and there was a new 1/2” thick epoxy floor. One of the funniest moments of any RUclips video.
For me it’s a toss up between islands and dragons. The whole process is pretty interesting.
Agree! I felt that pain!!!! 😂😂😂
That comment had me so confused. He’s a unicorn! not because of the skills, but the force of willpower/curiosity and genuine intrigue to creativity. Absolutely bizarre someone calling him ugly, that a handsome man
Hey Cam, I'm a blacksmith and I've worked with damascus steel a bit. One thing that struck me when you said that the Giraffe pattern being disappointing is that all the best patterns in steel are the more symmetrical or ordered ones. I think the style is organic and random enough on its own, so an ordered base pattern tends to look best.
I also have two suggestions I'd love to see you try to mimic: first, feather (sometimes called flame) pattern and second: a mosaic of some sort, the most common being "star", "burst" or "explosion" patterns. I could try to explain these, but I think it's best if you just look them up here on RUclips.
Great video as always!
All these tables are pretty cool, but 'Islands' is my favourite. Great video.

Honestly, that Black & Tan goes perfectly with your furniture and the room position.
It hit home as soon as you lined it up. Feels like a real coffee morning moment captured in a table top.
Great work.
True, I said Dragon but that one did fit the decor very very nicely.
Black and tan but using the Burgundy pattern. That would be perfect IMO.
As an architect, I'd love to see a video tour of your home showcasing all the exquisite woodwork and furnitures, like a parade home display.
Your work is truly commendable! 👏🏻
I agree. Your home is a beautiful contemporary and I’d love to see more.
palm, patriot and giraffe are my top picks, I'd like to see more of. I don't do much wood work but you are my favorite wood working channel!!
Rounding the edge on the pyramid base was ABSOLUTELY the right choice went from "yeah ok" to "DAMN DANIEL" IMHO
"Damn!", is my exact thought
the tups were ok, the bases were awesome!!
DAMN DENEMIEL
Being vulnerable with what you don't know, showing us your mistakes and trying stuff you shouldn't do is part of what makes this channel successful. You come across as a hard working guy who is constantly learning and growing and that's super relatable.
Completely agree with this comment.
ya he's the real MVP woodworking channel

I work in the paint dept in a big box store, and our record was 52, so your wife is the new record holder. Congrats! Have you thought about painting the wall plaid?
I’m glad to see she wasn’t just a small time regional record holder.
I may have to go and check my local paint store’s record which is in Australia. Your wife might have a international record for the paint sample’s. All jokes aside that is one hell of a record to hold as I’m pretty sure there is a limit to how much you can take in one visit?.
Oh to be clear, she paid for each sample. I think they’re around $4 each. So they would have happily kept selling us more.
Not plaid. You mean mosaic.
@@BlacktailStudio as someone who worked in a paint dept, I would've angrily made all of those samples with a big smile on my face.
Some people are so odd leaving comments like the one about your wife 😵💫 where does that kind of thought even come from 😵💫 I think you look great together, very well matched
It comes straight from jealousy. A woman like that is only with a man like this because he is perfect for her and nobody else in the world can replace the meaning he brings to her life. We find our counterparts through countless experiences together and most real relationships decide to become life long partners after very delicate consideration and checking off most or all the boxes on a personal checklist. People make comments like that when they feel empty and alone and they see someone else who is loved and successful in their relationships and life goals. He's a fun dude to watch, very skilled in his craft, physically he is highly capable and absolutely not a bad looking fella by any means. Straight up jealousy.
@@ez6790 I’ll just riff off your comment because I’m not sure I’ll ever find the offending comment. Plus you’ve saved me a lot of time trying to say something pleasant.
And for what it’s worth, I have to say that Cam is a good looking man…for a guy.
This is honestly so sweet, it seems like you guys have a very healthy relationship! You made a real effort to wow her with the options and some patterns / color combos that you knew she'd like and some you knew she wouldn't, but, ultimately, still made her a top that perfectly suited her taste and respected her decision, despite your own opinions. I got such a kick out of your wine tasting-esque display of the different tops / bases, your delivery was spot-on. And props to your wife for genuinely comparing the different styles in an attempt to find one she would like, even after seeing the oak top ;)
this is the first time i've seen this kind of interaction between you and your wife on camera and i can definitely see it now, why your wife is with you.............. you make her laugh! that is clear by the way she smiles and laughs around you. with all the train wreck of marriages on display these days it's nice to see a couple who clearly still love each other and enjoy each other's company. i wish you both many, many more happy times down the road.
That was my thought exactly. :)
He makes her laugh.
Hey Cam! I've got a planer tip for you.
To avoid tearout when planing across the grain - start by feeding the piece about an 3/4 inch through the planer so that it creates a lip. Pull it back carefully. Then spin it around (so the lip is at the back and will go through the planer last) and run it through normally. By doing that you'll essentially pre-cut the layers that will not be supported by layers behind them and thus will blowout if run normally.
An old woodworker with all his fingers showed this one to me. It works like a charm.
How do you feed it in without the first roller grabbing it?
@@heyitsthatdude17 I assume he is talking about using the jointer around the 17:00 mark
Love the denim. How many layers do you use? My wife watched this with me and asked if I could make her one. I am retired educator with minimal skills. Thanks. Love your work. So entertaining.
@@heyitsthatdude17 Planer, not thicknesser. The one shown in the video.
@@stusue9733 yep, English is not my first language.
Just wanted to say your channel in particular has inspired me. Im a 46 year old father. A vet and i glaze tubs. Im going to start my you tube channel and im going to follo2 some formulas you use. You are awesome. Easy to see why you are blessed.
I don't know why, but I can't stop watching these denim videos. Island was my favorite for the color contrast. The boring oak reveal was hilarious. Keep it up man!
Yeah, I liked that best too, cause it matches the brown tone of the leather armchairs.
Scott The Video Guy is an absolute MVP.
Amazing footage, editing AND he makes sure that Cam doesn't end up accidentally killing himself by doing the worst possible decisions at every turn!
Hi Cam,
I just wanted to thank you. I am from Germany and currently in the beginning of my training to become a professional woodworker, and thats by no small part because of your awesome channel and builds. I started at Uni in October '23 studying to become a teacher but it didn't feel right. Decided to look into woodworking and stumbled upon your channel, wich really helped deciding that this is my way to go forward. I've probalby watched most of your videos at least 5 times if not more, i love seeing woodworking, love english and to be fair, german woodworking channels are just mostly boring explanations or reviews, no entertainment.
So yeah, long story short. Thank you so much for helping me finding my way in life, finding my passion. And for making everyday just that little bit better and enjoyable. Love your work.
Здравствуйте. В видео вы были огорчены что дерево проявилось при шлифовке на одной из основ, но мне видится что это наоборот классно смотрится! Попробуйте специально сделать стол где будет джинсовая ткань пересекаться с деревянной основой - это будет довольно контрастно и необычно выглядеть.
А еще у вас действительно интересные рассказы, я уже много видео на канале успел посмотреть, в плане сочетания работы и рассказов о жизни и жене, классно!) Обучающих видео или же просто показывающих свою работу авторов много, а вот так, чтобы не навязчивые рассказы и труд - нет, а идея действительно достойная
When you mentioned a commenter saying hot people are only with ugly people if the ugly person is rich, I immediately disagreed, because obviously hot people are often with ugly people if the ugly person is funny. Then I saw your face and thought, "how hot is his wife that people think HE is ugly?" And also, "good thing he's not ugly, because he isn't very funny." Then I saw you showing off your creations to your wife and realized you simply save all your comedy for her in particular, and decided I needed to comment to tell you just how cute you guys are together.
Oh, right, your videos are cool too: even though I think I share your wife's taste in furniture rather than yours, it's always delightful to watch and listen to the process, especially as a novice woodworker who's got quite a bit to learn.
people who don't think Cam is funny are not listening closely enough to the sly jokes and innuendo throughout the video, like around the 13-minute mark. "Think about something else" "I do a practice glue-up by myself" 😂
Modern women belonging mainly to this current generation are kind of a dumpster fire, and one can tell this is true, because they're all over social media, telling on themselves.
They are, to borrow from Rodney Dangerfield in the movie "Caddyshack," "Why tigers eat their young." It really is, frankly disturbing.
One, Cam is not ugly, he's actually quite handsome.
Two, he's only not funny to people who don't recognise humour if it's anything deeper than dad jokes. He's hilarious and does sarcasm well.
People called this guy ugly?? That's weird. He's a good looking dude with a good-looking wife. If you had some kind of Human Judging Contest and came back and said "hey, check it out, this guy scored the exact same as his wife" and showed me video of both of them, I'd say "huh, yeah, that looks right. But I didn't know you could show humans like at the fair and I'm kind of weirded out and I think we shouldn't talk anymore."
@@ridercoachdanielle3220😂
Thank you so much for mentioning the Alex Snodgrass video! I'm an Industrial Tech teacher and properly setting up your bandsaw isn't something they teach you in college. I've been fumbling through setting up the bandsaws for the kids for the past seven years. I can't thank you enough for sharing that information!
U can tell they really have a great relationsship, by the way she looks at him, smiling and laughing af his shilly jokes she problerbly have heard a milions times before. Him, still trying to impress the girl he fell in love with along time a go, going the ekstra extra mile, making her happy is just so lovely to see.
Now THATS true love, respect, and admiration for your partner, its true love by the looks of it, and true love stands against all ods, love conquers all - and makes alle the sacraffisess worth it in the end!
You are very blessed to have each other in your life!
Much Peace brother, and keep up the amazing work!
She's just nervous in front of the camera. And her behavior basically shows she thinks of him as a big simp. The way they interact looks like they barely even know interact with each other. She's probably out traveling all the time talking with other dudes while he stays at home and builds shit all day because shes never home.
@@themachoman7983Hahaha wth dude:) funniest exchange in a long time!
one thing i love more than Scott throwing in cool ideas is Cam actually being open to listening to them
That part about 'staring at a project blankly for hours...' that makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only one!
Hours? Amateur figures - I can stare blankly at a project for WEEKS before making the wrong decision.
Me too - hours of staring = possibly one passably successful project in the books... :-)
yep, me too, days and days imagining in my head how something would look.
Lol same here
Staring? That's just our brains processing all the options and solutions that might be the best outcome. That's what I love about this.
Really liked the video. As a married man, it felt good to see that with time you get to know your wife and before she chose the table top you already knew what she would prefer.
I liked the dark denim
I was in aerospace composite fab/layup for a few years. I would suggest if you're going to have a bag that big you should have multiple vacuum ports. Also you want something like non perforated a5000 and breather rope and you want the breather mat to cover the entire interior of the bag to help with even circulation. Also, if you want your plies to be really tight and strong to the mold. Less resin. I recommend a couple of compaction steps in between a handful of lay ups.
I'm a little dusty on the info as it's been about 3½ years. Our process was nice and tight as it was or aerospace control surfaces (some of the highest stressed components). I wouldn't mind sharing more suggestions or bounce idea, trouble shoot issue, etc.
I want to see blacktail testing mythbusters episode!
You should make an hour long video of you just staring at various projects. It’s so funny that you said it. Anyone that is into any craft at all would probably love it too. I spend hours just looking at things that I’m doing and then when I go back to the video I just laugh at it all. 8 hour day, 1 hour setting up tools, 1 hour putting them away, 2 hours looking for tools I just had in my hand, 1 hour actually getting work done and 3 hours staring at the project without any motion all out.
My boyfriend is a huuuuuude denim enthusiast and when I showed him the Damascus denim table, he said he wished you would’ve emulated the wear pattern of jeans more (even though he did think the table was cool still). I think the palm design really hit that nail on the head
"If it turns out lame, call it a Bourbon Moth table base or something." LMAO! FnA Cotton, that was a good burn. Blacktail Studio and Bourbon Moth are two of my absolute favorite woodworkers!!! I hope you two become besties. I would love to see a big collaboration.
I agree 100%
I heard Cam say this and packed out laughing....
Same! The (hopefully not genuine) beef between these channels amuses me more than it has any right to 😂
"I have a wife who likes options... ...presumably not in a marital sense". Only someone secure and confident in their relationship could utter such words. Lovely to hear mate and may you both enjoy a long and happy life together, as my wife and I are enjoying! Cheers and love your work - from Sydney - Dave PS. Denim looks amazing IMHO!
I was starting to think nobody caught that line. thanks for noticing
@@BlacktailStudio Oh we do notice, don't you worry
@@BlacktailStudio Mate, thousands are hanging off your every word!! 😁 Actually, these little quips really add a lot and keep us engaged.
I stumbled across your channel many years ago, you have bought me so much joy especially when it can’t sleep at night! I have the crappiest small shed, which includes a fine Bosch chop saw which made me 9 fingered during lockdown and a router which I bought 30 years ago with a box of twenty fancy bits but still to use. Anyway thanks and carry on inspiring the rest of us!
I love how going into this, you already knew you needed a non-denim option but you didn't let that hold you back. You still took the time to make all the options you needed to see anyways. Well done!
Never doubt Scott. That man is an Emmy Award Winning Genius!
He was a great add to the channel!
Guy doesn't even know what Alien is.
don't wotty scott you can marry me
I love your work
you are a master
Love how when you put out the word that you were hiring, you Said you didn't want someone to intervene unless you're hurt.
Now Scott has slowly but surely become your right hand.
I think these are Scott's last videos, right? I like his honest critiques too. It's great that he isn't a Yes Man.
You are very cute couple! I love how patient she is, and that she contain herself even if she dislike some design! This is exactly how a perfect craftsman's wife, is!
Beautiful work on these tables, Cam!
You are a true hero for building that last table top (for your wife) and not putting it on camera (for us)
In 2010, my fiancé and I moved across the country and bought a house in a new city. We went into Home Depot and separately gathered paint samples. We literally came back with the exact same 3. Then he picked tiles for the backsplash as I was looking looking looking at tiles. What he brought me was exactly what I was looking for lol. We damn did get married! I dunno how I got so lucky to meet him.
"I can see by your face you're impressed" hahahaha
Dragon!
the guy who asked why she was with him.. its not money.. its how he makes her laugh. she clearly likes spending time with him. i hope i find a girl one day who giggles like that with me :')
Hahahaha
You're so intelligent and humble. You undersell your brilliance and instead just make self-effacing jokes. You're truly a sight to behold, and I admire your work, I see you. I get you, keep up the good good brilliant sir.
I think the giraffe patterns gonna take the cake!
Edit: what the fuck
It’s like a comment from my soul 😂
LMFAOOOOO The edit had me dying 😂
😭😂 rip
it looks like a brussel sprout burrito cross section
this comment hits!!
@BlacktailStudio (Cam) I love how you've evolved over the years from straight up wood working projects into working with different mediums. Also I've never commented on your videos before, but over the last two years I've really come to appreciate your subtle (or not) dirty jokes. This video was no exception!
As a carpenter from WA, now living in SE Asia, your videos are flippin awesome because I feel like I'm hanging out in one of my buddy's garages back home. We used to bring the scraps home from job sites and make things like 'Little Free Libraries' and such. I'm making a trip home this summer and visiting some friends that live close to you. It would be a trip to run into at the local watering hole or somewhere in town. I know that's not likely, but thanks for being your authentic self my dude! ~Max
Yeah, you got that right. I feel like a welcome guest rather that just a viewer whenever I watch this channel
One wine maker mentioned the "mound of despair" the dimple in the bottom of hand blown bottles that ensure they can stand up; it was the mound of despair because you thought there was a full glass left, but there wasn't. this seems similar to cutting grooves in the bottom to help it lay flat.
In case of wine bottle it helps their structure.
I love your work, I always saw the carpenter's work with admiration. I am from San Luis - Argentina. My wife says they make a beautiful couple and don't listen to those who criticize. Greetings and I will continue watching your videos. great great edit ha!
I am 18, and have virtually no interest in woodworking. However, I always look forward to your videos because of your constant talking and humour. Love the videos!
In fact, I think I may have even lost interest in wood working...
this is the most yapping I’ve ever heard in your video and Im just 5 minute in. def what I subbed for, keep it up.
yes i loved the yapping too
Best part
loved the part where he yappity yap yapped about the yap
@@not_relevant_either indeed. every time he yaps bout anything I’ll just nod my head and said “yup, you tell em cam. couldn’t agree more”
Love the yapping, the interactions, the indecision, the worries. That's human.
I REALLY like how the "Patriot" design turned out, it's my personal fave, and I'm Canadian lol
My wife and I agreed on that one, as well as the Dragon, the Black & Grey, and the Islands. All in all, a wonderful finished project and it's always fun to watch you go through the process.
I have nothing but respect for all craftsmen. Especially that take on large projects. I make leather straps for watches and whenever a strap comes that requires a different approach than the norm, I literally play the process like for days before taking them on just because I get nervous or try to come up and convince myself that this is how I am going to work on this.
The pepperoni table, because when you said "raindrops" it instantly became THAT, and I loved it right then. I also find your running commentary just delightful. thanks!
"Just like the blue in your eyes..."
Wife: "...."
"GREEN in your eyes."
Wife: "yeah."

Well he has partial color blindness so mistakes here can be forgiven ;)

I love it how sweet and loving you are to your wife. Very well done. Thank you for another inspiring video.
Realize you're way past opinions on this since it was 8 months ago, but I've recently discovered your videos and I'm spending way too many hours watching them all (my excuse to not venture into the very cold shop). Love that raindrop one (pepperoni) especially on the round base. Incredible workmanship, super helpful tips/techniques, and great entertainment. Loving your videos.
Love the "Pepperoni" but I think it should be renamed to "Raindrops". With the white oak base it really made that bright blue pop beautifully.
After staring at these for a bit I think Dragon is my fave. I bet it would look great with a walnut base. Also I like your wife’s favorite base best too.
The underside
Now hear my out … when you took them out of the vacuum bags around 9:40, there was a quick glimpse of the plywood on the bottom. If you used hardwood for a pattern, that could be sanded down for a wood “inlay” look. 🤷♂️
Great vids, always glad to watch and kudos on the Woodcraft deal 👍
Yeah I was surprised he decided to bin the one with dowels coming through.
Dragon stands above the rest, with paisley in second. Wouldn’t mind seeing Dragon in my basement that I’m nearly done finishing.
The jokes per minute in this video were off the charts. Fantastic vid, fantastic sense of humor.
Love the presentation.
"Just like the blue in your eyes... *Green* in your eyes" - so smooth
At an old job, I talked my boss into trying an epoxy pour. We did some research and it was suggested we do it under vacuum to minimize bubbles (this was 20 years ago, no you tube) We did a test with a small jar of epoxy. Then when we went for our actual pour, the hose to the vacuum loosened and ended up sucking up and couple cups of epoxy and ruined the vacuum to the vacuum press. Now I always get nervous seeing people doing epoxy pours with a vacuum press.
I shouldnt be laughing as much as i am watching woodworking videos. Please never change and keep up the great work.
I've always appreciated your channel for myriad reasons. But this video confirmed for me that you stand out for your humor and script content. Your self depricating humor and tongue in cheek dad jokes are awesome.
My favorite table was the dark denim Dragon, yes I’d put that in my house and it would be for what else my dragon collection. Love how you and your wife interact and how you joke about your work. I know I said earlier denim wasn’t really for me till I watched this. Stellar work.
Love the casual jab at Bourbonmoth woodworking 😂
@ 10:35
I lived that too. 😂
Having no idea who that is clue me to what they do or don’t do well please
@@Doubie. Just another woodworking RUclipsr. He famously hates epoxy, so that's probably why he took the jab lol. But I think they're on good terms
@@Doubie.
He also set up a fake spontaneous combustion test, AVE, hammered him.
I really loved this episode because, you added the human element of actually showing the process of your wife picking the top she loved most. I also like it because it was like a dessert tray of options that you might show to other clients : )
Cam that was one of the funniest videos you have made. Describing the patterns and coloring with your wife was a great touch! You are a great story teller and teacher! Love your videos.
Honestly, I liked all the table tops; I would put them on the wall as a work of art, not on a table. I'm learning a lot, the important thing is to launch yourself into new experiments without fear of being happy. Alfenas - Minas Gerais 🇧🇷
28:31 For the wobbly top, get a few (3 or 5) strips of metal (~1inch in width and 2mm in thickness) and weld them to resemble a ceiling fan. The centre of the fan can have the threads that bolt in. The "blades" can be bent ever so slightly to create a level surface and provide support without being visible. The table top will bolt in to the blades. The blades can be elongated to provide additional support for bigger table tops. More blades will also increase the support.
Im sorry but this guys is NOT ugly. Like who even thought of that. That is one handsome fellow
I agree. He's very handsome. Maybe that's why one shouldn't listen to rando shallow straight guys on the internet who are probably Andrew Tate disciples and think everything is about money.
someone who is uglier, just jealous of his wife, or a TROLL... Looks and Money are so superficial... intelligence, personality, morals, sense of humor, and creative talents are more important... there aren't any women worth trusting who would pick an ugly millionaire just for the money...
Absolutely agreed
Right?!
He's gorgeous
The denim and tinfoil is fantastic! Cant believe you showed it for less than a second at the end
Good day to you. Delighted with what I saw!!! They made a table out of Denis - this is a gorgeous, fantastic idea that can only come to the mind of a gifted, talented person with incredible imagination!! I admire you. This is success😊. You are wonderful people, I wish you peace in your soul and understanding..🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂
You have exactly the right balance of knowledge and instinct when it comes to your work. In my lifetime of experience this is a rare occurrence.
Absolutely stunning work.
Loved it, especially after she picked the wooden one! Priceless
Absolutely the best voiceover copy in the history of woodworking RUclips!
Almost all options look great. Oak looks classic and fits perfectly under the base made. Regarding the countertops, without a doubt, we can immediately highlight Dragon, Patriot end Islands. If I choose the second category, I would also choose Lightning, Palm, Giraffe end Black & Gray.
The remaining options are not so expressive or boring in color, but the design is acceptable. I would experiment with a combination of colors and patterns. I am sure that Pepperoni end Palm would look more impressive in dark colors.
The staring blankly at a project sounds like a perfect April 1st video. No commentary, just staring blankly at a vacuum bag from different angles.
The commentary just makes the video 10X better!
I loved the interaction you two have when showing off the table tops, thanks for the videos.
Que bonito te han quedado las mesas para mi la marrón y negra es mi favorita 😊
I kinda like the islands, and that color scheme. I'm also with your wife in liking the darker denim ones.
I actually had an idea for a table I think you should try. Take a slab with a varied wood grain pattern. Then grind down the slab into peaks and valleys going along the grain so that it looks like a landscape. Then fill it with layers of epoxy starting with a pale sky blue (or gray) epoxy and slowly getting more clear as the layers go up. So that it looks like a lake or foggy landscape.
this is the best tabletop denim channel on youtube!

The Islands and Burgundy tops were the ones that really stood out for me. So so different and absolutely a talking piece. Mind you, id have any of them. Amazing work as always...
Hey Cam, I found it Hilarious that at 06:00 you advise people on how it is better to give only little options to choose from for clients as they'll always be disapointed. And in the end you show your wife 10 versions of the tables and she picks the saddest one !! Aahahahaha! Keep the good work man, love your videos!
Haaa, I LOVE that you're going nuts with this. Now *I* wanna try doing it with layers of sheer fabric (tulle, shimmer chiffon, duochrome organza that's different hues depending on angle ), maybe even mushing it into the epoxy in random wavy patterns at different depths, or crumpling or pleating parts of it...
@@wachinpntdry. Right? That could end up being SO dimensional and cool-looking, esp with one of the shot/changeant organzas that have different hues for warp and weft threads so they shift between different colors.
Omg, I love all of this.
If he could get a remnants box/grab bag kind of thing, but on a large scale...
I'm trying to think what company might be best. Definitely someplace that would be willing to send lightweight stuff so that he'd be getting things like organza and tulle and... literally there would be so many options.
@@culturecrashAL I'm not sure sheer or very thin fabrics will work well but definitely would be interesting to see him add different fabrics to the mix!

My favorite pattern is the Black & Gray one. My favorite colors are the ones you used for Islands.
Also, I love how you presented the tables as tastings.
I appreciate the comment about how much time you spend just starring.
Sometimes I look for stuff to improve or projects to do and I feel incompetent when my only other point of reference is watching youtubers just blast through project after project, meanwhile I'm just staring what seems like 80+% of the time.
I like the color pairing of the Islands top with the first base. But that's just me.
When planing end grain, I wet the wood first with alcohol or mineral spirits. The fibers sever better when wet. A sharp blade is a must and a low angle plane is helpful. But that was a lot of end grain to plane, so using the jointer was a better solution.
Clever, comedic, educational and just plain enjoyable. Brings out my desire to be creative. Look forward to more.
What makes this channel for me is the stories that go with your creations. Having one of your creations would be like having a unique piece of art.
They are all very beautiful and different. 1- Islands, 2- Oak, 3- Patriot, 4- Giraffe. I love watching your craft and the process, and I appreciate your humor.
I really like the Oak and Dragon. My “surprisingly better than I thought it would turn out”: Palm!
The palm pattern is my favorite. As I was watching this video, I kept thinking that Cam should do a build out of SpectraPly. SpectraPly is a layered material where each of the layers is a different color. The product comes in a variety of different color combinations. In order to make a flat table top that really showcased the material, he would probably have to work the top so that it isn’t flat and then pour a layer of epoxy resin to create a flat surface. And no, I am not affiliated with SpectraPly.
The other thing that I kept thinking was that the obvious way to correct the misaligned hole on the table base was to fill the hole with a hardwood dowel and then drill the hole again.
I must say that all the samples you provided are of exceptional quality and it's difficult for me to single out one as my favorite. I appreciate the effort and dedication you put into creating each one of them. In fact, I believe all the samples should be showcased to the customers to give them the opportunity to choose the one that resonates with them the most. Love it love it ❤😊
I loved that you acknowledge and thank Scot on the base selection; and as well you asserting your own personality on cutting off the end of the piece to save face. Perfect balance of cool crediting a collaborator, and personal bravado! BTW, the Dragon is my favorite 🙂
All of them are beautiful, I love the black ones, I think you said in the video it was your favorite of the pick too…. But your wife also has a good taste because personally I don’t think you can compete with all natural patterns but as far as colors go. I’d choose your pick just because of the color
