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

Какая титаническая работа, сколько терпения надо, поражаюсь... у меня бы никогда не хватило бы силы воли закончить такой проект до конца! И ты не непосредственный столяр, ты конгениальный мастер!!! Восхищён!!!
👍 absolutely gorgeous table! I'm in the process of making my first epoxy table and looking forward to the journey making more. I appreciate your content and ideas! Wishing you the best with your next project 🙂
I've just noticed something really odd - the orange strap seen at 0:58 is branded 'Ohuhu' the same as my old microphone, and I can't seem to find the microphone being sold anywhere, no matter how hard I look. The company must've rebuilt their whole business from the ground up selling a completely different type of product. That's crazy to me.
An incredible job! I don't know if anyone talked in the comments, but try using a polarizing filter for the camera, it suppresses glare and reflections, it will be easier to show us burnt wood effect. 😊
I love your humble approach and yet the near perfect craftsmanship! Question: how many nails per slab do you get usually because the last i watched each had one in them :)
It looks great, I only wish I had the tools and shop. I made a dulcimer once while in a VA treatment prooogram, and was amazed at the simplicity yet time in preparing forms and molds. I went off the plan a bit using different types and colors of wood. I blew myself away at how nice it looked and sounded, my cousin paid us a visit from California, he's an actor in Hollywood. Man did it sound cool, ever since then I've been more interested in woodworking. Have you seen grandpa amu, old Chinese woodwooker.? He makes the most amazing things, with just hand tools, using no screws or nails. Brilliant gentleman, I think you'll enjoy his videos. Again, very nice job!
The result is amazing. But also the whole process is so much fun to watch. Scott is a great addition to the videos and the conversations and thought process are really entertaining.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire video. Both I and my wife (who’ll watch later) have always had the desire to do more work working. Never having the extra time or the equipment at the same time has left us retired wannabes who dream and live vicariously through fine, detailed oriented craftspersons as yourself. Btw, my wife was a professional videographer and video production editor. From shooting sports stars and famous actors in commercials to boring corporate or industrial footage. Plus jobs where she hung out of helicopters to film panoramic scenes or shots of Air Force jets doing rolls as they passed scary close. She & I can appreciate what Steve adds to the mix. More than most realize. Take care and keep on making new pieces and video’s!
Amazing. I love the charred look - fell in love with the shou sugi ban aesthetic a few years ago. Wondering if there is any way you know of to achieve that - and maintain a stable surface - without the use of epoxy, so it maintains a more matte finish consistent with the natural wood surfaces. Keep up your incredible projects.
I really enjoyed watching this. It's something I've always wanted to try bit feel my resin skills still need a lot more practice before I even attempt something so big. Love the detail and painstaking work you put into this table and into all your woodwork projects. Keep up the good work. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this project. 😊
Hey Cam, love your videos and the content you put out. I don’t know if anyone has brought this up or not, but there’s a much easier way to help you tape off sections like you did in this video. Look in to using some 3M Finish Line Knifeless Tape. The trick is in the surface prep. Blow off the area really well, vacuum the area, then wipe down with Isopropyl alcohol. This ensures no dust or residue is behind to prevent it from sticking. Once you have the knifeless tape down, you just put strips of blue tape over the whole area, leaving a length of the knifeless tape accessible to pull, then pull it through to make the cut line. Hope this is something that can help you in the future. Take care.
I watched your video and appreciate your skill and passion I think the table is amazing and caught myself smiling when I looked at final project wow nice work man.
With all the time, energy and effort that went into this project, curiosity sent me to your store... Sold out and worth every penny. Excellent work and massive talent.
Awesome Sam. What a beautiful piece of wood. Red wood here in Australia but much harder. Thanks for alleviating my concerns about how it came in to existence.

Yup, agreed. Epoxy is overdone but beautiful when used properly.
I think Blacktail stuff is very tasteful compared to a lot of the crazy rainbow glitter river tables that were so popular

👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!

👍Awesome job and awesome honesty. I'm 62 years old and I learn A LOT watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
I love the way you are humble about your skills and not only quick to ask for help but just as quick to give them credit. Chapeau, Sir. 😊
👍 for "super stable." That's gorgeous, and I think it's a good example to show that fine craftswork requires patient, intense, close-in work. It's not all about buffers and magic potions. Good for you for sticking with this one. I wish I could buy it and put it in a place of honor.
👍 absolutely stunning table ... Cam dont be too hard on yourself. I think you are very much like your friends dad and so resigned to repeating a task without any cussing. You are in my opinion way beyond a UA-cam wood worker or wood craftsman, you are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN who 1. happens to enjoy what you do and 2. are not satisfied with anything short of total excellence... I applaud you. For the inspiration of us all please keep doing these types of projects. Oh, not to forget Scott, great job on the videos and the editing 👏 👍 a pleasure to watch.
Your work and determination is absolutely amazing! I would love to see more burnt wood projects, and which woods create the best effects from the burning process.
👍the contrast, the gradient and the weirdly elegant leg... what a beautiful combination of features. i believe you don't give yourself enough credit, this is yet another incredible piece.
Hey Cam, I think a similar charred piece with a “twist” would be awesome. That twist would be Gold Foil melted into the cracks of the charred areas, polished, and then covered by the epoxy and polished to the same mirror finish. In my opinion It would add an elegance to the piece that it deserves.
That sounds really cool, maybe a variation with silver flake mixed into the resin to look like stars, would make the table look like it had a piece of space in it
The algorithm brought me here. Never a fan of woodworking and carpentry but I found your videos somewhat therapeutic. Kudos to you.
This was my first time ever watching this type of video, and I was totally captivated from the beginning to the absolute very end. Also I'm amazed as to the amount of hard work and attention to detail it took to complete your table. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Thanks bro.
👍 Heckin awesome! I love how you take the time to give us the full story. I feel like a lot of folks would cut out the best bits. Your personality and thought process comes through most when you make “mistakes”
Keep making them 🙂
The burned table was always my favorite. Great work!
Please don't label yourself mediocre , you are a master craftsman, loving your videos, and your transparency when stuff goes wrong is refreshing
Finding the means to stay humble, is one of the best ways to stay open to learning, and seeking advice - instead of letting pride get in the way.

MASTER MISOGYNIST!
Oh wow that end result was stunning, the charred wood in gloss has so much depth it's insane, looks 3 dimensional, just beautiful. 😍
Wow‼️Super impressed‼️Love that you care about the details. My Dad was a Chemist then an Aviation Engineer then ended being a Master Carpenter. He cared so much about the details! In the end, He would build things in the garage just as intricate and beautiful as what he produced at his big shop. I loved how his furniture looked good at 6 inches away as it did 6 feet away. Such a joy! New Subscriber!!
35:56 “please don’t tell my wives” 😂
I like the Jeremy Clarkson, James May analogy. POWERRR!!!
Your tenacity is commendable, the finished product is a testament to your skill. Both are exceptional.
Scott is a goddamn treasure, and I can't imagine videos without him. You two are an incredible team. :)
I concur sir, off with the p-word dad’s heads that watch woodworking with a girl. How about telling their wives to watch cartoons, cheerleading, cooking or something girls like to do in life. How many female carpenters are there in this world, maybe 6. lol not enough to even speak on. What is going on today that a grown man will ask another man to not cruse on his on video that he does for a living? Seriously, I will repeat the quote. Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men. Guess what stage the dad with the five year old is on? Weak men and what is next, hard times. Then we will get some strong men again.
He's a goddamn misogynist!
I am watching you from IRAN (Persia), we are so picky when it comes to art, you have seen Persian carpet, architecture, woodwork and.... I can tell you, you are one real artist.
Oh great more misogyniy!
@@bernadetteabohan I am sorry, more misogynie ? what do you mean??
@@bernadetteabohan misogyny *
The idea that a 5 year old can't hear a swear word once in a while is insane level sheltering.
Low level people can't speak without swearing!
Correct
The day they start beeping out swear words on TV in my country, I'll move to another!
that was the first time I've watched any video like this all the way to the end, and love the commentary and the wit.
gorgeous looking table and subscribed .
watching from Grimsby in the UK.
That's insane. That's insane..that's insane. That's insane. Absolutely meticulous work and the flawlessness explodes from it.
👍 great ratio of epoxy to wood (for me anything over about 80% wood feels good) also love the grain match on both top and sides really makes the waterfall look exceptional.
I think it came out really beautiful. Living in a part of No. Cal that burns just about every other year.... I like it. Love that you show the "not perfect" parts. Makes it far more relatable. :)
I’ve tried to do these 45’s but failed every single time. I’ve even done small test pieces but just can’t seem to get the fit just perfect. Same with my attempts at getting a clean fitting bow-tie. Pisses me off. I can’t afford the damaskus chisels. I sharpen my tools often & am quite anal with getting a proper edge. Part of my issue is having a (VERY SMALL) working area. Anyway, I do appreciate how well you illustrate the fine points of your craft. You help with getting me to try new techniques, ideas & projects. Thank You. Been a fan for a long time. 😊
👍 Even if people don’t like the gorgeous tables you make, which I actually do love them, it’s just as much fun to watch you use all those cool tools you have. Great video.
Hey Cam, I watch with my 4 year old son and he loves to swear. 🙄😔😒. He uses it appropriately and has the right inflection EVERY time. I don’t swear but there are colorful uncles in his life and children at school who love to proclaim their new found words at gym time. Anyway, I’ve been able to curb his habit with a firm word but I wanted you to know I won’t stop watching with him in the room. Apparently, he is smart enough to understand not to repeat everything he hears grown ups say and do. 😂 Kudos to you on the break of your channel. Sorry for the long read. ☺️
Bravo to this! ❤
Flecking luv it
About swear words, there is a little woodworking shed in Bethlehem and there is a carpenter working there, he hits his thumb, and suddenly the door opens and a kid is asking his father: "father, did you call me?"
LMFAO
My wife and I enjoyed the entire process! We haven't watched any of your videos before but we are definitely subscribers now and are looking forward to more content like this! Fantastic job!
29:11 Gotcha! You're done!!! 😂😂😂😂
For anyone that's curious, the grand total at the end came to $81,949💸

Мне очень нравится подобные вещи, кропотливая работа над каждой деталью. Сам я когда-то занимался ювелирным делом в качестве хобби, и понимаю, что значит часами сидеть над маленькой деталью. Надеюсь, однажды, эта чёртова война закончится, и я смогу вернутся в свою страну к своему любимому хобби. Как же я скучаю по этому(

Какая титаническая работа, сколько терпения надо, поражаюсь... у меня бы никогда не хватило бы силы воли закончить такой проект до конца! И ты не непосредственный столяр, ты конгениальный мастер!!! Восхищён!!!
re: adult language - That was a great response that basically boiled down to "quit whining, I use less profanity than Marvel." I love this channel.

Sigh. I did the math for you. It's $81,800. My ADHD brain couldn't handle the list of un-totaled costs... You're welcome ;)
👍 absolutely gorgeous table!
I'm in the process of making my first epoxy table and looking forward to the journey making more.
I appreciate your content and ideas!
Wishing you the best with your next project 🙂
I've just noticed something really odd - the orange strap seen at 0:58 is branded 'Ohuhu' the same as my old microphone, and I can't seem to find the microphone being sold anywhere, no matter how hard I look. The company must've rebuilt their whole business from the ground up selling a completely different type of product. That's crazy to me.
They still make microphones. They sell them on Amazon.
Cam, you're not a Boomer...you're in the GenX crowd...own it.
"I have wives"... (Whoops) LOL
VERY NICE! …appreciate hearing about the “nuts and bolts” in the process 👍🏽 and of course the finished piece!
Haha you think the Earth is a spinning ball lol
Loved it... More so the story telling style. And I love the videographer EDITING. 👏👏👏
An incredible job!
I don't know if anyone talked in the comments, but try using a polarizing filter for the camera, it suppresses glare and reflections, it will be easier to show us burnt wood effect. 😊
I love your humble approach and yet the near perfect craftsmanship! Question: how many nails per slab do you get usually because the last i watched each had one in them :)
Cam, I absoulutly love your channel. This may be my favorite project you have done. Keep up the awesome work!!
It looks great, I only wish I had the tools and shop. I made a dulcimer once while in a VA treatment prooogram, and was amazed at the simplicity yet time in preparing forms and molds. I went off the plan a bit using different types and colors of wood. I blew myself away at how nice it looked and sounded, my cousin paid us a visit from California, he's an actor in Hollywood. Man did it sound cool, ever since then I've been more interested in woodworking. Have you seen grandpa amu, old Chinese woodwooker.? He makes the most amazing things, with just hand tools, using no screws or nails. Brilliant gentleman, I think you'll enjoy his videos. Again, very nice job!
The result is amazing. But also the whole process is so much fun to watch. Scott is a great addition to the videos and the conversations and thought process are really entertaining.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire video. Both I and my wife (who’ll watch later) have always had the desire to do more work working. Never having the extra time or the equipment at the same time has left us retired wannabes who dream and live vicariously through fine, detailed oriented craftspersons as yourself. Btw, my wife was a professional videographer and video production editor. From shooting sports stars and famous actors in commercials to boring corporate or industrial footage. Plus jobs where she hung out of helicopters to film panoramic scenes or shots of Air Force jets doing rolls as they passed scary close. She & I can appreciate what Steve adds to the mix. More than most realize. Take care and keep on making new pieces and video’s!
Pretty awesome! I guess like anything unique and high end, its amazing just how many steps are involved.
Eres increíble, edición, trabajo perfecto.
Primera vez que veo tu contenido y me parece espectacular.
Sigue mejorando cada día !
Amazing end result, persistence over resistance a great commitment to your work really enjoyed watching!
Im not a wood worker but I absolutely enjoyed your video. I was especially entertained by your honest, candid and witty narrative. Thank you
Just a suggestion, but a dremel tool would work awesome to sand around the epoxy areas. You do such quality work. I enjoy watching.
Amazing. I love the charred look - fell in love with the shou sugi ban aesthetic a few years ago. Wondering if there is any way you know of to achieve that - and maintain a stable surface - without the use of epoxy, so it maintains a more matte finish consistent with the natural wood surfaces. Keep up your incredible projects.
Love the video. Been subscribed for a while, and love your videos. Massive respect for your craftsmanship and patience.
I really enjoyed watching this. It's something I've always wanted to try bit feel my resin skills still need a lot more practice before I even attempt something so big. Love the detail and painstaking work you put into this table and into all your woodwork projects. Keep up the good work. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this project. 😊
That desk is 🔥!!! I love the contrast between the gloss of the epoxy and the matte of the wood!
Hey Cam, love your videos and the content you put out. I don’t know if anyone has brought this up or not, but there’s a much easier way to help you tape off sections like you did in this video. Look in to using some 3M Finish Line Knifeless Tape. The trick is in the surface prep. Blow off the area really well, vacuum the area, then wipe down with Isopropyl alcohol. This ensures no dust or residue is behind to prevent it from sticking. Once you have the knifeless tape down, you just put strips of blue tape over the whole area, leaving a length of the knifeless tape accessible to pull, then pull it through to make the cut line. Hope this is something that can help you in the future. Take care.
I watched your video and appreciate your skill and passion I think the table is amazing and caught myself smiling when I looked at final project wow nice work man.
I knew it was sturdy. Those gussets provide plenty of support from lateral forces. Beauty!
With all the time, energy and effort that went into this project, curiosity sent me to your store... Sold out and worth every penny. Excellent work and massive talent.
Awesome Sam. What a beautiful piece of wood. Red wood here in Australia but much harder. Thanks for alleviating my concerns about how it came in to existence.

my woodworking level is about right there.
I would love to know his process for measuring the slab and getting that form to be a perfect fit.
Wow that is GORGEOUS, I was a bit surprised when you stained the thinner side black, but it looked really good in the end. Incredible.
