My brother was a professional glazier. He trained at 16 and at 18 years old..people in my small town said he was a natural genius and what he could cut and make with glass. Unfortunately on Christmas day 2000 his partner killed him when she got drunk and angry. But when I used to help him on side jobs for people I was dumb struck on how good he was and how people would tell me. That Eric was the best they ever saw. As a younger brother I felt great hearing that. And at his funeral there were so many people that i never saw before hundreds who spoke highly about him and his talent with glass. Even his first employer who trained him told us he lost a race to Eric putting in the same size of window. And not by seconds but by minutes.
I actually went to goby walnut for the first time on vacation a week before this video aired and said "have you heard of black tail studio? Cam inspired me to come here" and the worker pointed to this beauty and said "well that's his work". I was floored! Beautiful piece. You're my biggest woodworking inspiration and I perhaps filled my car with too much lumber on a too long vacation.
Hey Cam ! For the next time if you want to know if a piece of glass is tempered, you need to take polarized sunglasses and look at the glass through them. If the glass has marks or spots that you can't see without the sunglasses, then it is tempered.
@@BlacktailStudio Yeah! Applies to fishtanks too. A lot of people drill for sumps and additional flow/pump heads, it's important to not attempt drilling into tempered glass for what I hope are obvious reasons :P
Or just take a look at how light reflects from the glass - look at it at very low angle, and if you notice any "waviness" in the reflected light then it's tempered glass (float glass has a perfectly mirror-like smooth surface, and it gets distorted when glass is heated close to its softening point and then rapidly cooled - which is how glass tempering is done).
Can confirm, you can see the internal stresses of the glass somewhat. You can even see it on camera, if you use a polarising filter on your lens. If you have one, have a look at a back window of a car, you should be able to see a fairly regular pattern.
There is an even easier way to spot tempered glass: the edges of tempered glass panes are usually slightly rounded as opposed to cut panes which either have a sharp or slightly chamfered edges. The round edges are a result of the heat treatment wherein the glass melts first along the edges and then solidifies in a more rounded shape.
Yup. Same. Didn’t think trying to cut anything other than a straight cut on glass was a good idea. Besides, the water jet leaves smooth edges. It’s the way to go. Oh, also… try to cut a thick piece of glass with anything other than a water jet. Good luck. 😝 Love the table. Always great work and a great viewing experience. 🙏
I used to cut glass for stained glass crafts (boxes, panels... etc) and watching him struggle with the first panel was painful, until it exploded and I was like "Yep, I remember that feeling." The wavier cut on the second piece of glass should have been doable with light tapping along the cut (I still use an old-timey glass cutter with the ball on the handle) however, getting it cut by a pro, and not having to sand/grind all that perimeter, is definitely the way to go.
When he said "they said they didn't think they were tempered " I said that first one looked tempered ......maybe someone just sanded the edges off thought ...... aaaaannnnnnddd nope it was tempered.
Ditto. I cut lots of glass. That pattern even on 3mm glass would be challenging let alone thicker glass. I have been utilizing the local waterjet shop lately...lol...less nerve damage to me.
Im 66 and just caught up on current affairs this morning. Went straight into grumpy old man mood. Perfect timing for one of your very pleasant videos. Lol. Thanks again. 👍
I love how down to earth you are by being so honest when you make mistakes because we all make mistakes. And that’s okay. People need to know that it’s okay. I think honesty, even when you make yourself the butt of a joke, is a testimony that you’re comfortable in your own skin. Too many people try to come off like they’re someone else. Someone perfect who makes no mistakes but that’s just faking it. So, I appreciate how honest you are. I love your wittiness and of course I love what you’re doing, or rather making with all this beautiful wood. I particularly loved, loved, loved that round epoxy table in which you had to go back and fix the crack and people suggested you make a clock out of. I mean, wow! So beautiful!!! I would’ve loved to have won that. Anyway, keep up the great work!! I love watching your creations.
Man this straightforward humor is just what more people need to hear these days! Your ability to tell the no frills truth with a touch of lightheartedness is an art in itself brother. Your a gift to that younger generation!
Yeah cutting glass you can't wait after etching the glass. You have to do it quick because it slowly comes back together after you etch it. Glass is liquid. An incredibly slow moving liquid but still
As an older (almost 80) retired custom furniture maker I loved your comments about making mistakes. We all make mistakes, what separates the amateur woodworker from the expert is knowing or figuring out how to fix or hide the mistake and the willingness to admit it. Good video!
My dad was 83 when he passed 13 years ago, i brought home something i made in high-school some 50 years ago, his comment after i pointed out every mistake No one will ever know, unless you point them out, and they are what give it charter proof it was hand made.
And an amateur woodworker is also known as a handyman often. Someone that’s okay at several trades but not great at any or they would be called a plumber, electrician, or etc.
I am 70 years old never cut glass only cut wood with a hard saw and that was straight and small I think that’s why I memorized by your amazing skills 👏👏🇬🇧
When I'm working with inexperienced folks or doing a workshop with weekend warriors, and I'm about to use a shortcut or do something "inadvisable," I say "Never do this" then explain why not. Before you ask, yes, I have all my fingers ;)
I am not a wood enthusiast, yet i find myself engrossed in every one of your vids. What i really appreciate is that you explain everything so that even I can understand how and why you do what you do. I was taught early in life, if you understand 'why and how', then you can figure out most everything in life yourself.
I watched this episode with my 17 year daughter and she said she doesn’t normally like watching this type of thing but your narration made it interesting and kept her amused. Well done. That table looks amazing - from the UK.
Not sure what I enjoy most - your unbelievable woodworking skills or the humor / sarcasm. Upon reflection - both. The combination makes your channel one of the best.
@@ever55 Must be some Californian zombie thing. Come to think of it the 1st time I noticed more people using these new idiotic phrases was around the virus outbreak lockdowns and by people from Cali. Then slowly spread elsewhere but then stopped. I mean might be because I dont interact online with kids or mutants but it kinda stopped. Basically people went insane and lots of them were medicated too, then instead of trying to do something with their time they spent it on basically nothing, invented new garbage ways to entertain their even worse no-life states of minds then before lockdowns ... Most of the very same people fled to Texas and started their lives over, this time I hope they actually have a life and left their poor choices far behind. Ironically while some people were bored out of their minds during lockdowns, on the other end me and many people I know were busy as ever before. I started finally doing what I love to do, tap into all sorts of hobbies and crafts and there was zero people to bother me about it. It was just me and piece of quiet, perhaps music playing at times but yeah ... finally doing something what I always wanted to with zero distractions other then basic needs. Now we are back at the old days of people being up your rear day and night again ... And telling them to F off is like telling them hello come on in ...
I am a 60ish disabled woman in Australia and I luv watching your videos! !! Fascinating and always entertaining. I luv your, let’s give it a try and let’s see what happens, attitude. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for showing the mishaps along the way
I'm a college professor in a pretty unrelated field, 3D modeling and digital media. I use your videos all the time because they're a perfect example of how important it is to make mistakes and pobodies nerfect. Some of my favorite saying are. "Stop trying to make masterpieces" "If you want to make something good be prepared to make it 3 times" and "It's not wasted time, it's experience" You sir ARE an expert because, only an expert knows it's more about how you think than what you think.
I had to pause the video, and send the link off to my buddy that doesn't care about woodworking as far as I know, telling him to watch until the 2:30 mark. That was gold.
Я ваш фанат! Смотрю из Беларуси. Вместо того, чтобы готовить ужин, залипаю возле экрана телевизора😊. Вы мастер! Нравятся все ваши работы, особенно маленькие столики. Это прелесть. Спасибо за ваш труд и юмор. Удачи!
I am 26 years old & over the last several months I have asked in many comment sections for people to tell me what words like "cap" mean but nobody every responded. This was definitely not the place I expected to learn it's meaning but thank you for educating me
Sounds like you're out of the loop with Gen-Z slang. I've spent the last 15 years purposely keeping myself out of the loop because the people in the loop are farking arr tards.
I don’t care what they say, I think you do great work. It’s been wonderful seeing you grow as a woodworker and as a RUclips channel. One of the few channels that I have to watch all the way through everytime a video drops. Can’t wait for the next project!
I love that you show the process, including your problem solving (glitches and results) -- plus your movie reference (which I saw as a young teenager at the cinemas) 😎👍
I've never seen an epoxy table in real life just so you know. My family used to have a glass table until it broke and then they bought a ceramic tile table because it was on sale and cheaper than the standard walmart glass table for the same size. I watch your epoxy table builds because it's something I really want and I have not gotten tired of seeing them being built over the past 8 years or so.
As a former picture framer, Cam your use of the Brass Hammer and Clamps made me almost spit out my morning tea with laugher yes that's tempered glass thanks mate you're a legend
@@BlacktailStudio you need to make relief cuts at a tangent to your line so they do not have to break along the whole cut. You can also tap along the cut, with a small piece of metal or whatever, to propagate the crack, which you will see happening.
I've never been a professional with glass but I have tinkered with making a stained glass window (with a Fleur de Lis). I was sure he was quite literally hammering on tempered glass before it shattered.. and I jumped. LOL On his first attempt at curved lines, I was expecting the glass to bust right then, so I wasn't surprised when it did on his 2nd try. Cutting glass, esp curved lines, is a lot trickier than it looks.
@@BlacktailStudio Hey Cam not quite, but you did a great job in the end i agree with you that the green tinted glass wasn't right that darker glass was the better choice love your work mate
That first attempt at snapping the glass was both well controlled and one of the funniest sequences I've seen for ages with the ongoing banter and the various fails before the shattering.. Better than most TV comedies and yet done so seriously. Great job . . . well, almost.
I knew it was tempered glass because of watching a squid games (safe) reenactment- one of the contestants mentioned being able to tell the tempered glass apart by the greenish hue around its edges. I agree that segment was hilarious to watch 😂
The greenish color in the edge of glass is an indicator of the iron content in the glass and does not indicate tempered or annealed. There is only one way to distinguish tempered from annealed glass. (Without breaking it of course) and that is to hold it under a light and tilt it back and forth watching the reflection on the surface if the image wiggles slightly as I moves across the surface (like the surface is slightly wavy) then it is tempered . annealed glass will have a reflection that moves from side to side with no other motion besides the direction your tilting it
The video Does flow way better without the paid shilling of corporate crap that none of us want. There is nothing weirder than a content creator suddenly becoming an advertiser for 5 minutes for some janky crap nobody wants... literally ruins their credibility Love your videos , Super chill
I can't believe how active you are in the comments section. 2.69M subs and you're actively replying and taking advice from random commenters, even shooting the shit with them. Absolutely incredible channel and "influencer", love the work! I'm just some random Aussie 31 year old dude, that has spent far too many hours watching you create beautiful and functional artwork, that I've never had an interest in, nor held a power tool in my hands; yet your commentary, personality, skill and editing are all S+ tier cinematography and I just can't pull myself away!
Probably my favorite thing I've watched you build. Simple and elegant. No weird coloring. Just a classic, modern, beautiful table. Would look great in a small meeting room as easily as it would a dining room. That's a reproduceable, easy seller right their brother!
I can't tell you how hard I laughed out loud when the little knife was brought up to remove the nib, you vocalize how you'll have to be delicate, and then you bash it away with the flat of the knife xD one in a hundred videos of anything will actually have me laughing out loud! Well done.
Ok for me, a simple guy who grew up watching Norm Abrams new Yankee workshop, I've been loving all the resin tables and other projects that combine a clear or colored substance mixed with wood. It's maybe the most satisfying thing I see on here. Don't get me wrong, trying new stuff is just as cool, but resin has always hooked me into your videos, John M' s videos, and even Evan&Katlyn. Seriously, I'm not a maker or creator, I just love watching when I'm out on the road. So thank you for doing what I don't.
I am a general contractor from Medford Oregon and I’ve always dreamed of doing what you do. I’m hoping to take my first step into making custom furniture like you. Your videos are inspiring!
Black glass was definitely the right choice, I love how it darkens the wood underneath. I've been watching for a few years and this has been one of your most enjoyable builds to watch. Nice work Cam
Je ne suis pas un artisan du bois, je n'y connais rien et pourtant j'ai dévoré votre vidéo, cela donne vraiment envie d'approfondir ce métier manuel, merci.
My beloved husband made a dent in his custom built oak desk. Without your videos I would have never even known where to start with repairing that! I'm years before my first epoxy or even proper woodwork build, but man, am I proud to have learned something useful.
I’ve been doing construction for the most part of my career (20 years heavy construction military) I now work at a well known CO zoo (4 years) and do all the carpentry. I still learn something new everyday. And you sir, have taught me a lot believe it or not. I absolutely love your content and feel like a kid on Christmas Day when I see a new content post. You Rock!
I mean, for me watching u fixing and going on and forth is the key reason i still check your content. Im not a woodworker, but just the idea you also present your work as a process with all its details and misses is rather inspiring.
Great video. While I was watching this, I was rocking my newborn son to sleep. He fell asleep after maybe five or six minutes, but I waited until the end to put him to bed. The old school swear words really seem to help him relax and feel comforted. I use the same words myself.
Cam, I thouroughly enjoy watching your videos. I am 57 now, in my tweenties and early thirties I was a woodworker. Unfortunately, I started losing my vision and could no longer safely operate the machinery. My wife thinks I'm crazy when I smell the wood at the store. Nearly, 30 years after no longer being able to do woodworking just the smell of the different wood species transports me back to the shop. This, is a long comment, just to say that I live vicariosly through watching your videos.
This is why i love this channel. You always have that approach of "i have no idea what im doing, but im still gonna try. Learn from my mistakes." And you always show everyone what worked for you and what didnt. And Scott was obviously mentioning the Tie Fighter D, from the last mission of the Rogue Squadron videogame.
As a novice Stained Glass creator ,You had a smile on my face while you were playing with the glass. In regards to dropping your phone in a public toilet, I lost the only blueprints for trusses on the job site in the porta john and had to go fishing. The staring at the porta john when im back tracking and realizing there is nothing on the ground between me and it was like staring into the void.
@@davidjavids2431 I would think that might be reaching beyond the stars with pouring/laying. Glass needs to be annealed and that requires starting at very high heat.
I haven't watched your work for a while....my loss. Having returned to this latest episode I find myself in awe of the work that you do and the way your vlog is constructed. Thank you for being inspiring.
I’ve personally never been a fan of the epoxy tables, but I always liked how unique your style was and found your process really interesting. I think as long as you love making what you make then those products will find the people who love it too.
The shattering part cracked me up. When I was younger I broke my grandmas glass door the window on it and had to replace it my dad bought a piece of glass and went to cut it to size. Just as he was hitting it he seen the letters of it and just shattered into a million pieces on the table. A good choice word and a great story! :)
I have cut glass, and after many failures, I figured it out... 1). Clean well, and clean again (must #1) 2) lubricate on the line you intend to cut with mineral oil... (must #2) 3) apply "even" pressure slowly... Even meaning, do not push down on one side, or in the middle. Bryan
You're seriously such a gem. I appreciate your work and the way you help people improve their craft. So many "make it" channels breeze over important stuff. Even if I'm never gonna make a glass inlay table, the way you approach problems is informative to my other projects. And yeah, I love the sausage. The things I've learned from your channel and actually used in shop have mostly been sausage moments
I was a cabinet maker for 16 years we used to do a lot of bespoke items like boardroom tables, reception counters, top end kitchen outfits mainly big expensive stuff , we had a lot of old school tools in the shop , two cold presses for veneering one press so old it was hand cranked the other hydrolic 😂😂😂 a veneer saw , a hydrolic heated edge binder , a table saw , a stroke sander , bandsaw most of these machines 60 years old at this stage and many other tools any way im veering off the point ive seen experienced carpenters through my time and you cam are one of them you are a problem solver and willing to learn and admit mistakes, beautiful table by the way ..... i only have one piece of advice when you were connecting the mid rail on the legs of the table i would of would of made the infills deeper for that particular joint and one on each side , love your work .....forget the haters ❤
ive binge watched some of your videos i just found you randomly and i dont understand the negative comments other than pure envy from their side...and its pathetic, and i just want to say this..everytime you give those commentors any of your time they win, and i get it its hard to not prove them wrong but the absolute best way to make those people even more sad is to not give them the attention IN your videos . Keep up the great work!
I don't usually like most modern table designs, but this one was really nice. The legs complimented it, the design was balanced and cohesive, and darker glass made all the difference.
Ваши первые попытки резки стекла вызвали улыбку. Очень давно, когда мне было лет 20 мне пришлось както вырезать небольшое стекло. У меня был весь необходимый инструмент, большой ровный стол для резки стекла и огромная пачка стекла. Штук 100 . И я учился резать. У меня были знания как это делть но небыло навыков. Я испортил 2 листа прежде чем справился. Учитывая что листы были большие 2/2 метра а величина вырезаемой детали 15/20сантиметров.Все это было в СССР на заводе и никто меня неосудил и несмеялся за такое количестао испорченного стекла зато я научился это делать и навык этого навсегда остался со мной. Стол у вас крутой и без эпоксидной смолы - что в моих глазах делает его во много много раз ценнее.
@@ИгорьНиколаев-е1т 👍 My grandpa did the same. When we broke the glass in the greenhouse. 😂 Then I cut out dozens of pieces of glass, I remembered it for the rest of my life.

Tie fighter noise! I absolutely loved this build, the darker glass just made the whole build. I didn't think I'd like it, kind of reminded me of a table my mom had when I was a kid, but the wood turned out beautiful and I loved the cut glass was great. Oh yeah! I bought some of your N3 nano and put it on a floating shelf I built two years ago and it's totally refreshed it, it's white oak and I didn't want to darken it, so I'd just put some wax on it, so I sanded it down and put the nano on it and it turned out great, like you said, you don't need a ton of it either.
You gotta appreciate this guy Dude spend hours on the tiniest detail and explain why he did it I have been watching other woodworkers but i dont think anyone come close to this guy Please upload more 😁
The table came out great. I personally agree about the glass color. The green isn't bad but the darker glass matches much better. I appreciate when creators include where they had trouble or made mistakes because it encourages others to keep going when they hit a wall or something doesn't come out as well as they expect. Seeing a video that only shows how everything goes together as expected has a less genuine feel. Solid reference that I will not unhear when using a router, haha. Keep up the great work!
I don’t understand why people don’t want to see “how the sausage is made” or troubleshooting. Maybe it’s just the fellow craftsman in me, but that’s (1) valuable insight into how someone else approaches a problem, or (2) a really good example/reminder that there isn’t one “right” way to create. There’s lots of viable paths to creating a given functional end, or even to executing a particular vision. The same principles can often be applied to life generally.
to be fair, when it comes to sausage some people just don't like looking at intestines all that much. furniture on the other hand I don't see how someone has issues with it. maybe they find it boring but, they can't seriously treat them the same.
for younger folks: if you leave no gap - glass will break, no cap.

And an amateur woodworker is also known as a handyman often. Someone that’s okay at several trades but not great at any or they would be called a plumber, electrician, or etc.
I am 70 years old never cut glass only cut wood with a hard saw and that was straight and small I think that’s why I memorized by your amazing skills 👏👏🇬🇧
That sequence of escalation for the tempered glass was... chef's kiss
That little "FYI, don't do this" thrown up over footage of you doing a thing is such classic Blacktail Studio material.
When I'm working with inexperienced folks or doing a workshop with weekend warriors, and I'm about to use a shortcut or do something "inadvisable," I say "Never do this" then explain why not. Before you ask, yes, I have all my fingers ;)
Love Scott being apart of this channel - it's funny with you 2!
I am not a wood enthusiast, yet i find myself engrossed in every one of your vids. What i really appreciate is that you explain everything so that even I can understand how and why you do what you do. I was taught early in life, if you understand 'why and how', then you can figure out most everything in life yourself.
I watched this episode with my 17 year daughter and she said she doesn’t normally like watching this type of thing but your narration made it interesting and kept her amused. Well done. That table looks amazing - from the UK.
So that's at least 2 of us watching from the UK! anymore I wonder ??? 😀

@@ever55 Must be some Californian zombie thing. Come to think of it the 1st time I noticed more people using these new idiotic phrases was around the virus outbreak lockdowns and by people from Cali. Then slowly spread elsewhere but then stopped. I mean might be because I dont interact online with kids or mutants but it kinda stopped.
Basically people went insane and lots of them were medicated too, then instead of trying to do something with their time they spent it on basically nothing, invented new garbage ways to entertain their even worse no-life states of minds then before lockdowns ... Most of the very same people fled to Texas and started their lives over, this time I hope they actually have a life and left their poor choices far behind.
Ironically while some people were bored out of their minds during lockdowns, on the other end me and many people I know were busy as ever before. I started finally doing what I love to do, tap into all sorts of hobbies and crafts and there was zero people to bother me about it. It was just me and piece of quiet, perhaps music playing at times but yeah ... finally doing something what I always wanted to with zero distractions other then basic needs.
Now we are back at the old days of people being up your rear day and night again ... And telling them to F off is like telling them hello come on in ...

I am a 60ish disabled woman in Australia and I luv watching your videos! !! Fascinating and always entertaining. I luv your, let’s give it a try and let’s see what happens, attitude. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for showing the mishaps along the way
I'm a college professor in a pretty unrelated field, 3D modeling and digital media. I use your videos all the time because they're a perfect example of how important it is to make mistakes and pobodies nerfect. Some of my favorite saying are. "Stop trying to make masterpieces" "If you want to make something good be prepared to make it 3 times" and "It's not wasted time, it's experience" You sir ARE an expert because, only an expert knows it's more about how you think than what you think.
As I always say "I enjoyed making that so much I decided to do it again, and again etc. until I got it right."
Your B.S./F.U. joke got me replaying it I was chuckling so much. Hell yeah.
I had to pause the video, and send the link off to my buddy that doesn't care about woodworking as far as I know, telling him to watch until the 2:30 mark.
That was gold.
Я ваш фанат! Смотрю из Беларуси. Вместо того, чтобы готовить ужин, залипаю возле экрана телевизора😊. Вы мастер! Нравятся все ваши работы, особенно маленькие столики. Это прелесть. Спасибо за ваш труд и юмор. Удачи!
I am 26 years old & over the last several months I have asked in many comment sections for people to tell me what words like "cap" mean but nobody every responded. This was definitely not the place I expected to learn it's meaning but thank you for educating me

I don’t care what they say, I think you do great work. It’s been wonderful seeing you grow as a woodworker and as a RUclips channel. One of the few channels that I have to watch all the way through everytime a video drops. Can’t wait for the next project!
I love that you show the process, including your problem solving (glitches and results) -- plus your movie reference (which I saw as a young teenager at the cinemas) 😎👍
I've never seen an epoxy table in real life just so you know. My family used to have a glass table until it broke and then they bought a ceramic tile table because it was on sale and cheaper than the standard walmart glass table for the same size. I watch your epoxy table builds because it's something I really want and I have not gotten tired of seeing them being built over the past 8 years or so.
As a former picture framer, Cam your use of the Brass Hammer and Clamps made me almost spit out my morning tea with laugher
yes that's tempered glass
thanks mate you're a legend
So… not standard glasswork?
@@BlacktailStudio you need to make relief cuts at a tangent to your line so they do not have to break along the whole cut. You can also tap along the cut, with a small piece of metal or whatever, to propagate the crack, which you will see happening.
I've never been a professional with glass but I have tinkered with making a stained glass window (with a Fleur de Lis). I was sure he was quite literally hammering on tempered glass before it shattered.. and I jumped. LOL On his first attempt at curved lines, I was expecting the glass to bust right then, so I wasn't surprised when it did on his 2nd try. Cutting glass, esp curved lines, is a lot trickier than it looks.
@@itoibo4208oh, like a bandsaw! That makes sense.
@@BlacktailStudio Hey Cam
not quite, but you did a great job in the end
i agree with you that the green tinted glass wasn't right
that darker glass was the better choice
love your work mate
That first attempt at snapping the glass was both well controlled and one of the funniest sequences I've seen for ages with the ongoing banter and the various fails before the shattering.. Better than most TV comedies and yet done so seriously. Great job . . . well, almost.
I knew it was tempered glass because of watching a squid games (safe) reenactment- one of the contestants mentioned being able to tell the tempered glass apart by the greenish hue around its edges. I agree that segment was hilarious to watch 😂
The greenish color in the edge of glass is an indicator of the iron content in the glass and does not indicate tempered or annealed. There is only one way to distinguish tempered from annealed glass. (Without breaking it of course) and that is to hold it under a light and tilt it back and forth watching the reflection on the surface if the image wiggles slightly as I moves across the surface (like the surface is slightly wavy) then it is tempered . annealed glass will have a reflection that moves from side to side with no other motion besides the direction your tilting it
@@ericwoods4390 very cool! Thank you for teaching me this!
The video Does flow way better without the paid shilling of corporate crap that none of us want. There is nothing weirder than a content creator suddenly becoming an advertiser for 5 minutes for some janky crap nobody wants... literally ruins their credibility

I can't believe how active you are in the comments section. 2.69M subs and you're actively replying and taking advice from random commenters, even shooting the shit with them. Absolutely incredible channel and "influencer", love the work! I'm just some random Aussie 31 year old dude, that has spent far too many hours watching you create beautiful and functional artwork, that I've never had an interest in, nor held a power tool in my hands; yet your commentary, personality, skill and editing are all S+ tier cinematography and I just can't pull myself away!
Thanks mate! And Scott gets most of the editing related credit these days.

The worst about ending your video, is that i have to wait another month or so, for a new one. Keep up the great work.

I could watch your work all day. Just blown away by your detail and quality craftsmanship. Very soothing also.
Probably my favorite thing I've watched you build. Simple and elegant. No weird coloring. Just a classic, modern, beautiful table. Would look great in a small meeting room as easily as it would a dining room. That's a reproduceable, easy seller right their brother!
@dwl 100% Classic
I can't tell you how hard I laughed out loud when the little knife was brought up to remove the nib, you vocalize how you'll have to be delicate, and then you bash it away with the flat of the knife xD one in a hundred videos of anything will actually have me laughing out loud! Well done.
Ok for me, a simple guy who grew up watching Norm Abrams new Yankee workshop, I've been loving all the resin tables and other projects that combine a clear or colored substance mixed with wood. It's maybe the most satisfying thing I see on here. Don't get me wrong, trying new stuff is just as cool, but resin has always hooked me into your videos, John M' s videos, and even Evan&Katlyn. Seriously, I'm not a maker or creator, I just love watching when I'm out on the road. So thank you for doing what I don't.
What about the Woodwrights Shop? Same PBS channel on Saturdays 1/2 hour later
I am a general contractor from Medford Oregon and I’ve always dreamed of doing what you do. I’m hoping to take my first step into making custom furniture like you. Your videos are inspiring!
Tie fighter. I’m 63, love it. Great reference. Love the bow-ties.
I'm only 10 minutes into this and it has got to be in my top 3 videos of yours. Excellent presentation. Hats off. No cap.
Black glass was definitely the right choice, I love how it darkens the wood underneath. I've been watching for a few years and this has been one of your most enjoyable builds to watch. Nice work Cam
Je ne suis pas un artisan du bois, je n'y connais rien et pourtant j'ai dévoré votre vidéo, cela donne vraiment envie d'approfondir ce métier manuel, merci.
My beloved husband made a dent in his custom built oak desk. Without your videos I would have never even known where to start with repairing that! I'm years before my first epoxy or even proper woodwork build, but man, am I proud to have learned something useful.
I’ve been doing construction for the most part of my career (20 years heavy construction military) I now work at a well known CO zoo (4 years) and do all the carpentry. I still learn something new everyday. And you sir, have taught me a lot believe it or not. I absolutely love your content and feel like a kid on Christmas Day when I see a new content post. You Rock!
I grew up watching The New Yankee Workshop with my dad, this episode brought back some core memories. Thanks, Cam!
30:00 bro cooked😂
I've been a stained glass artist for 35 years, 2nd generation. I really enjoyed watching you trying to figure out glass 😂😂😂
I only dabble in glass, but that first attempt had me actually howling with laughter 🤣
Me too, i’m like - ooooo that’s gonna be interesting.
I love the smoky looking glass so much better. What a beautiful table. Your attention to detail is refreshing.
I mean, for me watching u fixing and going on and forth is the key reason i still check your content. Im not a woodworker, but just the idea you also present your work as a process with all its details and misses is rather inspiring.
Great video. While I was watching this, I was rocking my newborn son to sleep. He fell asleep after maybe five or six minutes, but I waited until the end to put him to bed. The old school swear words really seem to help him relax and feel comforted. I use the same words myself.
Cam, I thouroughly enjoy watching your videos. I am 57 now, in my tweenties and early thirties I was a woodworker. Unfortunately, I started losing my vision and could no longer safely operate the machinery. My wife thinks I'm crazy when I smell the wood at the store. Nearly, 30 years after no longer being able to do woodworking just the smell of the different wood species transports me back to the shop. This, is a long comment, just to say that I live vicariosly through watching your videos.
Well I appreciate it anyway
This is why i love this channel. You always have that approach of "i have no idea what im doing, but im still gonna try. Learn from my mistakes." And you always show everyone what worked for you and what didnt.
And Scott was obviously mentioning the Tie Fighter D, from the last mission of the Rogue Squadron videogame.
That’s an oddly specific tie fighter 😂
As a novice Stained Glass creator ,You had a smile on my face while you were playing with the glass. In regards to dropping your phone in a public toilet, I lost the only blueprints for trusses on the job site in the porta john and had to go fishing. The staring at the porta john when im back tracking and realizing there is nothing on the ground between me and it was like staring into the void.
HILARIOUS AND THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR CRAFT...
CURIOUS ABOUT
POURING OR LAYING MOLTEN GLASS COLORED OF COURSE
@@davidjavids2431 I would think that might be reaching beyond the stars with pouring/laying. Glass needs to be annealed and that requires starting at very high heat.
Holy crap, the multi-layered superimposed segment where Cam is trying to explain the inlays with the router bushings had me in stitches 😂
Stopping while you're ahead is insanely amazing marriage advice (which is by the way, the exact reason why I watch your videos). 😂❤️
I haven't watched your work for a while....my loss. Having returned to this latest episode I find myself in awe of the work that you do and the way your vlog is constructed. Thank you for being inspiring.
I’ve personally never been a fan of the epoxy tables, but I always liked how unique your style was and found your process really interesting. I think as long as you love making what you make then those products will find the people who love it too.
I'm not a carpenter, I've learned a lot from watching your video. Thank you very much. Good reference for the science fiction movie.
Scott is an asset. Never forget it.
The darker glass definitely looks better. Good call on the plan b. Table turned out gorgeous, love it!
The shattering part cracked me up.
When I was younger I broke my grandmas glass door the window on it and had to replace it my dad bought a piece of glass and went to cut it to size. Just as he was hitting it he seen the letters of it and just shattered into a million pieces on the table. A good choice word and a great story! :)
I like the "smoke" or gray tint. I love black with the walnut tables.
Thanks again Cam.
Working at night, RUclips offered this channel, as a result, I spent half the night watching it! )) Well done guys! )) 👍👍👍
I have cut glass, and after many failures, I figured it out...
1). Clean well, and clean again (must #1)
2) lubricate on the line you intend to cut with mineral oil... (must #2)
3) apply "even" pressure slowly... Even meaning, do not push down on one side, or in the middle.
Bryan
thank you
I want to see Scott build something. I feel he’s gained a lot of knowledge and would like to see what he comes up with.
Normally I hate these epoxy table videos but I do love the glass in there. This is one hell of a finished product.
I do enjoy your videos a lot, because you're not afraid to show mess-ups and teach us how you went about fixing them.
You're seriously such a gem. I appreciate your work and the way you help people improve their craft. So many "make it" channels breeze over important stuff. Even if I'm never gonna make a glass inlay table, the way you approach problems is informative to my other projects.
And yeah, I love the sausage. The things I've learned from your channel and actually used in shop have mostly been sausage moments
"yeah, I love the sausage" - context is everything ;-)
I was a cabinet maker for 16 years we used to do a lot of bespoke items like boardroom tables, reception counters, top end kitchen outfits mainly big expensive stuff , we had a lot of old school tools in the shop , two cold presses for veneering one press so old it was hand cranked the other hydrolic 😂😂😂 a veneer saw , a hydrolic heated edge binder , a table saw , a stroke sander , bandsaw most of these machines 60 years old at this stage and many other tools any way im veering off the point ive seen experienced carpenters through my time and you cam are one of them you are a problem solver and willing to learn and admit mistakes, beautiful table by the way ..... i only have one piece of advice when you were connecting the mid rail on the legs of the table i would of would of made the infills deeper for that particular joint and one on each side , love your work .....forget the haters ❤
ive binge watched some of your videos i just found you randomly and i dont understand the negative comments other than pure envy from their side...and its pathetic, and i just want to say this..everytime you give those commentors any of your time they win, and i get it its hard to not prove them wrong but the absolute best way to make those people even more sad is to not give them the attention IN your videos . Keep up the great work!
My 4 year old just fell asleep watching this video with me. Thanks for assisting with nap time 😊👍
I don't usually like most modern table designs, but this one was really nice. The legs complimented it, the design was balanced and cohesive, and darker glass made all the difference.
Ваши первые попытки резки стекла вызвали улыбку. Очень давно, когда мне было лет 20 мне пришлось както вырезать небольшое стекло. У меня был весь необходимый инструмент, большой ровный стол для резки стекла и огромная пачка стекла. Штук 100 . И я учился резать. У меня были знания как это делть но небыло навыков. Я испортил 2 листа прежде чем справился. Учитывая что листы были большие 2/2 метра а величина вырезаемой детали 15/20сантиметров.Все это было в СССР на заводе и никто меня неосудил и несмеялся за такое количестао испорченного стекла зато я научился это делать и навык этого навсегда остался со мной. Стол у вас крутой и без эпоксидной смолы - что в моих глазах делает его во много много раз ценнее.
anyone from the former USSR will smile when they see this timid attempt to cut the glass in the first time.
Need white crunch!)))

The viewer is a saint, and not so critical.
Whatever you do, someone will always have some criticism. I enjoy watching your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Tie fighter noise! I absolutely loved this build, the darker glass just made the whole build. I didn't think I'd like it, kind of reminded me of a table my mom had when I was a kid, but the wood turned out beautiful and I loved the cut glass was great.
Oh yeah! I bought some of your N3 nano and put it on a floating shelf I built two years ago and it's totally refreshed it, it's white oak and I didn't want to darken it, so I'd just put some wax on it, so I sanded it down and put the nano on it and it turned out great, like you said, you don't need a ton of it either.
Also a beagle noise. IYKYK.
It’s a very different table from your usual genius tables…. But i absolutely love it Cam! You never cease to amaze!
Scott your TIE interceptor reference was perfect. I figure many will mention the generic TIE fighter and be wrong. Nerd for lyfe
When Scott said plan B, I was afraid you’d just fill the void with epoxy 😂
😆
no cap
Oh man, we missed the chance to crop in on the old epoxy clip I showed and make people think we did anyway!
Same to be honest. Although with all the talk about trying glass, it would have been one big defeat and kind of a weird story arc.
@@BlacktailStudio Best responses often come in after action review
You gotta appreciate this guy
Dude spend hours on the tiniest detail and explain why he did it
I have been watching other woodworkers but i dont think anyone come close to this guy
Please upload more 😁
I totally agree with the dark glass. I think it looks much better that way. Great job.
The table came out great. I personally agree about the glass color. The green isn't bad but the darker glass matches much better. I appreciate when creators include where they had trouble or made mistakes because it encourages others to keep going when they hit a wall or something doesn't come out as well as they expect. Seeing a video that only shows how everything goes together as expected has a less genuine feel. Solid reference that I will not unhear when using a router, haha.
Keep up the great work!
I don’t understand why people don’t want to see “how the sausage is made” or troubleshooting. Maybe it’s just the fellow craftsman in me, but that’s (1) valuable insight into how someone else approaches a problem, or (2) a really good example/reminder that there isn’t one “right” way to create. There’s lots of viable paths to creating a given functional end, or even to executing a particular vision. The same principles can often be applied to life generally.
to be fair, when it comes to sausage some people just don't like looking at intestines all that much. furniture on the other hand I don't see how someone has issues with it. maybe they find it boring but, they can't seriously treat them the same.
I dropped my phone on the hoop comment!! Simplest way I have ever heard that explained to make perfect sense to anyone!! Lmao!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
