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.
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
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!
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! 👍🏻
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.
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 think this may be the piece you've done that I've liked the most. Understatedly elegant, the matte finish on the wood highlights the polished char-and-epoxy sections and allows the attention to detail you've shown in this work to shine through.
I 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. :)
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
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.
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.
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!!
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!!
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.
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.
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!
👍 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.
Thumbs up. I have zero working knowledge, creative thinking, or even space at my home to do any of the woodworking, but watching your channel is such a blissful experience and makes my heart full. Scott's addition to your videos has also been wholesome and you two make an awesome team. Thanks for entertaining us!
I 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.
👍 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 🇿🇦
Consider this a thumbs up. I don't know why more people don't do a black background for an epoxy inlay or use a black epoxy. That's BEAUTIFUL. It was SO much work, but you have created a functional piece of art that will last for centuries. Phenomenal!
👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!
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 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.
👍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.
👍 Heckin awesome! I love how you take the time to give us the full story. I feel like a lot of folks would cut out the best bits. Your personality and thought process comes through most when you make “mistakes” Keep making them 🙂
I 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.
👍 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.
my friend. The addition of that pencil sander is what makes this absolute artistry. I am so proud of you as a craftsman and artist. As an Art Historian id be more than happy explaining this table to some random dude in a hipster gallery.
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. ☺️
👍 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.
Super relaxing I just had shoulder surgery and watching this video was the the most relaxing half hour I've had since the surgery 3 days ago no sleep absolutely gorgeous table. It would take up my whole apartment so I don't think I could ever own it 😂 homemade shoulder feel better. What an incredible business you have built for yourself👏👏👏👍👍
Blown away watching the process and the skill you apply at each stage of the build. You have become my go-to UA-camr and will certainly be going back to your channel to attempt to adopt methods of your craft. Thankyou and keep up the great work.
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.

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.
Das gefällt mir! Ich bin zwar kein Tischler, sondern ein Metaller, aber das was du machst fasziniert nicht weniger als brennendes Feuer oder fließendes Wasser. Sehr gut.
$80,810... Let's say you only counted the toothpaste used in the 57 shop hours spent making the table, as I'm sure you did. At $0.06 of toothpaste for every 57 shop hours, the total price of every tool, truck, and tinker could've instead been used to supply you with enough toothpaste to last 76,769,500 shop hours, or about 8,758 years. And to think, you used it to make a table... 😪
Just finished watching this video before boarding my flight to go home. AMAZING!!!! Absolutely love this table. Beautiful piece I can't fold a piece of paper properly so I totally appreciate all the work you did for this
This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and I'll definitely be back to watch more. The project itself is interesting and the finished result is beautiful, but it's the easy-going and sometimes self-depricating narration that made it so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work.
This is the first video I am watching on your channel. You impressed me a lot, not only with the workmanship itself, but especially with your approach to the process and attention to details! Worthy of imitation. Definite sub!
👍 Excellent work/video. I didn't appreciate how good the charring effect was until that brief visual as the camera passed over the final time -- very cool ember look!
I’ve learned a lot watching your videos you are a genius with woodworking. I’m from West Virginia and I have access to a lot of different wood here. And it’s very cheap but not all of it is dried well enough to use right away. I’m a disabled veteran trying to make a few extra bucks to help out the family. But I get overwhelmed a lot trying something new. I just finished my first walnut coffee table and I’m really happy with how it came out I would send you a picture if I had a way to do so. I’m always late on your giveaways. lol keep up the good work. You are the man.
One thing I've learned to help smooth wood, even after I put on the finish, is to use a piece of paper bag. Use it like sand paper. Best thing about it is that it won't scratch the wood, just buffer/smooth it out.
Nenhum brasileiro por aqui? A dublagem em Português BR está ótima, melhorando a cada vídeo e o melhor, há poucos bugs! Sorte para os próximos projetos 🇧🇷
did i just sit through 37 minutes? holy smokes. this was a great intro to your work for me and I'm glad that you showed the hard work, warts and all. that table is a total beaut and I just learned so many new words today. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff!
I’m not a wood worker. The only thing I ever made was a spatula out of balsa wood at the age of 12, at school. But this was absolutely stunning. Thank you for an amazing watch.
Gorgeous! I started screaming “WHY?!” when you stained the support black. But once it was put together and you spun the table I was back on board. As a hobbyist, I wish there were more mom and pop shops where you could go in and talk to experienced woodworkers to get answers instead of learning from expensive mistakes. The high schoolers at the big box stores are anything but helpful… Anyhow… Very well done. Love commentary and humor. Subscribed!
Just watched your video and found it very interesting. I'm not a furniture builder never even tried, unless you consider a peice of plywood thrown on top of two saw horses a table. I make walking sticks and canes but watch wood working videos in hopes of picking up tips and ideas that I might be able to use to assist me with my projects. Your "pencil sander" caught my attention as I have had the same problem with delicate areas to sand. I have a suggestion for you that works well for me...a cheap electric toothbrush. Trim the bristles off, put a little heat to the neck of the brush just below the head and bend it to a angle that will allow you to get into the tight area. Using adhesive backed sandpaper ,cut to fit the head of the toothbrush stick it on and you've got a mini sander. Enjoyed your video.
Your approach to wood is quite like carving stone. Many hours sanding. Especially when going to 2000 - 3000 grit,which can be tedious beyond belief. After I’m finished I always think it was worth it. Patiently sanding listening to music. It’s a great way to spend 4-6 hours,or longer making something as you hoped and expected and it turns out even better. Those hours are just a small amount of time in one day. When you arrive at day23 and can call it finished is always a time to celebrate. Thanks for the inspiration, and pardon my rambling.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one of these, but your work is absolutely stunning 🤩. Just beautiful. I’ve been watching for a couple of years, and I thoroughly enjoy what you do.
I've never seen something so beautiful, this is without a doubt a table that I can describe as a dream, what a shame I'm too far away and I also don't have the money for it, but I'm very happy watching it on UA-cam as inspiration to make money and one day have a similar table. A big hug from Brazil
Hiya, I love watching you create a thing of beauty from a sawn up thing of beauty. The tree becomes alive again in a totally different form but it’s a skill that I sadly lack. My woodworking has never progressed beyond rustic sturdy which I am content with…..mostly, lol. Just wanted to say hi from Liverpool England and thank you for making such amazing works of art and entertaining videos. Best wishes, Carole S. ☺️🇬🇧👏👏👏
Absolutely love how it turned out! I've never seen anything like it,I'm also a huge fan of burning but I can never get the end product how I want it. I will keep this in mind for later,great job Cam
👍👍 I am absolutely blown away in some part of your videos Cam. This weeks was...... How much you care about Scott, I can tell that not only his opinion matters to you but you care deeply for the friendship. And I think that is just So important. Here's to good friends 🍻 It's been a pleasure as always, take care. ~Jonny5🥁
Всегда люблю смотреть, как изготавливают столы из эпоксидной смолы, понимая, что себе такой не купила бы, но.... этот идеален! Такой я себе точно хотела бы!
Instead of using a pencil with sandpaper may I suggest a trick I have used with an old electric toothbrush? Cut the bristles off a used brush and glue a small disc of sandpaper to the end of the brush. When it is placed back on the handle it provides a nice little disc sander for fine work. I love your work.
I totally agree, people need real friends that will not indulge in your thinking and tell you things how they are and help challenge you into a better place/person, we all need people like that in our lives, the world would be a better place.
Looks great!!! I have done caulking professionally in the past ( boring job, but I got good at it, lol). I think in your application, you do just fine. As long as the epoxy stays where it should, that's all that matters. Love your content, and thank you for sharing.
Just started streaming after I finished watching something else. Was watching and enjoying your process to make this table/office desk. The finished product is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing 👍🏾🔥
👍🏼💪🏻 I’m in Billings Montana and I’m in love with your work mate. It’s so awe inspiring and amazing every single time. I love the charred look but have you ever thought of doing a shoshugibon design? 🤔 that would be GORGEOUS
a small tip. if you put a vibrator on the wooden slab when pouring the resin it will allow the resin to penetrate the wood faster and deeper into the wood.
I mean me personally I prefer hearing the swears and hate hearing the bleeps, having said that, the bloke that emailed you about his 5 year old was extremely respectful and honestly its up to you how you make your content
I've seen quite a few of your videos though it's been about a year or so since I saw one and this episode earned my subscription. Though I am no one. You've earned it Man.
OMG 😮 ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I have never seen this before and I am in love with the way the char looks like black diamonds. You are incredibly talented and kinda funny. I also lived about fifteen minutes away from Bend Oregon.
I hit that like button 33 and a half minutes into this video ! 😁 Man, do I enjoy watching your videos ! I'm a painter/drywall/trim carpentry/handyman of 45 years and I love watching UA-cam vids to try to learn new things ! I've learned a lot watching yours ! Thank you ! Compared to you, I've probably got Sailor level pottymouth, but my youngest is 21, so fuggit . . ! 😂

This has got to be one of the coolest tables we've watched you make so far. The reflective finish on the burnt parts looks amazing.
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.

The ongoing Cam-Scott romance arc is really one of the highlights of this channel.
so good
Agreed, It’s cool to watch the relationship develop.. especially between two completely different personalities

That's insane. That's insane..that's insane. That's insane. Absolutely meticulous work and the flawlessness explodes from it.
👍 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 🇿🇦
Consider this a thumbs up. I don't know why more people don't do a black background for an epoxy inlay or use a black epoxy. That's BEAUTIFUL. It was SO much work, but you have created a functional piece of art that will last for centuries. Phenomenal!
👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!
For anyone that's curious, the grand total at the end came to $81,949💸
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. 😊
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 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.
Please don't label yourself mediocre , you are a master craftsman, loving your videos, and your transparency when stuff goes wrong is refreshing
Finding the means to stay humble, is one of the best ways to stay open to learning, and seeking advice - instead of letting pride get in the way.
A fool calls himself wise while a wise man knows himself to be a fool
He Remains Humble, so that those may Witness his Greatness with Thine Own 👀 and Sing his praises for all to Hear ;*
MASTER MISOGYNIST!
the super wet look of the polished epoxy with the matte on the wood looks really great
👍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.
👍 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 🙂
Blue Armature wood worker here, just using pallets ATM. Really love your page. All your stuff looks amazing.
Thanks man 👊
The algorithm brought me here. Never a fan of woodworking and carpentry but I found your videos somewhat therapeutic. Kudos to you.
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!
@@AIvolution-bernadettebohan I am sorry, more misogynie ? what do you mean??
👍 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.
my friend. The addition of that pencil sander is what makes this absolute artistry. I am so proud of you as a craftsman and artist. As an Art Historian id be more than happy explaining this table to some random dude in a hipster gallery.
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
The burned table was always my favorite. Great work!
👍 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.
Super relaxing I just had shoulder surgery and watching this video was the the most relaxing half hour I've had since the surgery 3 days ago no sleep absolutely gorgeous table. It would take up my whole apartment so I don't think I could ever own it 😂 homemade shoulder feel better. What an incredible business you have built for yourself👏👏👏👍👍
The super wet look with matte wood looks really great
I like the Jeremy Clarkson, James May analogy. POWERRR!!!
35:56 “please don’t tell my wives” 😂
Blown away watching the process and the skill you apply at each stage of the build. You have become my go-to UA-camr and will certainly be going back to your channel to attempt to adopt methods of your craft. Thankyou and keep up the great work.
Wow, thanks for saying so
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!
Спасибо за русские субтитры и перевод.
Мне очень нравится подобные вещи, кропотливая работа над каждой деталью. Сам я когда-то занимался ювелирным делом в качестве хобби, и понимаю, что значит часами сидеть над маленькой деталью. Надеюсь, однажды, эта чёртова война закончится, и я смогу вернутся в свою страну к своему любимому хобби. Как же я скучаю по этому(

The idea that a 5 year old can't hear a swear word once in a while is insane level sheltering.
Low level people can't speak without swearing!
Correct
The day they start beeping out swear words on TV in my country, I'll move to another!
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.
29:11 Gotcha! You're done!!! 😂😂😂😂
Why do I keep falling into these videos and watch it till the end, when my deadline is tomorrow
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.
Das gefällt mir! Ich bin zwar kein Tischler, sondern ein Metaller, aber das was du machst fasziniert nicht weniger als brennendes Feuer oder fließendes Wasser. Sehr gut.
Cam, you're not a Boomer...you're in the GenX crowd...own it.
polishing dry epoxy over wood to make the internet think its polished wood.should be the title
Seems as though you watched less than half the video
$80,810... Let's say you only counted the toothpaste used in the 57 shop hours spent making the table, as I'm sure you did. At $0.06 of toothpaste for every 57 shop hours, the total price of every tool, truck, and tinker could've instead been used to supply you with enough toothpaste to last 76,769,500 shop hours, or about 8,758 years. And to think, you used it to make a table... 😪
Just finished watching this video before boarding my flight to go home. AMAZING!!!!
Absolutely love this table. Beautiful piece
I can't fold a piece of paper properly so I totally appreciate all the work you did for this
My son and I love watching your show!
Just want to say how much I love your organization in your garage and tool bench!!!!
This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and I'll definitely be back to watch more. The project itself is interesting and the finished result is beautiful, but it's the easy-going and sometimes self-depricating narration that made it so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work.
This is the first video I am watching on your channel. You impressed me a lot, not only with the workmanship itself, but especially with your approach to the process and attention to details! Worthy of imitation. Definite sub!
👍 Excellent work/video. I didn't appreciate how good the charring effect was until that brief visual as the camera passed over the final time -- very cool ember look!
You are a Superior artist/craftsman/woodworker/leading with integrity!❤ Thank you for leading by example.❤
I’ve learned a lot watching your videos you are a genius with woodworking. I’m from West Virginia and I have access to a lot of different wood here. And it’s very cheap but not all of it is dried well enough to use right away. I’m a disabled veteran trying to make a few extra bucks to help out the family. But I get overwhelmed a lot trying something new. I just finished my first walnut coffee table and I’m really happy with how it came out I would send you a picture if I had a way to do so. I’m always late on your giveaways. lol keep up the good work. You are the man.
One thing I've learned to help smooth wood, even after I put on the finish, is to use a piece of paper bag. Use it like sand paper. Best thing about it is that it won't scratch the wood, just buffer/smooth it out.
Nenhum brasileiro por aqui? A dublagem em Português BR está ótima, melhorando a cada vídeo e o melhor, há poucos bugs! Sorte para os próximos projetos 🇧🇷
That’s great to hear!
did i just sit through 37 minutes? holy smokes. this was a great intro to your work for me and I'm glad that you showed the hard work, warts and all. that table is a total beaut and I just learned so many new words today. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff!
Welcome!
I’m not a wood worker. The only thing I ever made was a spatula out of balsa wood at the age of 12, at school. But this was absolutely stunning. Thank you for an amazing watch.
Gorgeous! I started screaming “WHY?!” when you stained the support black. But once it was put together and you spun the table I was back on board.
As a hobbyist, I wish there were more mom and pop shops where you could go in and talk to experienced woodworkers to get answers instead of learning from expensive mistakes. The high schoolers at the big box stores are anything but helpful…
Anyhow… Very well done. Love commentary and humor. Subscribed!
Just watched your video and found it very interesting. I'm not a furniture builder never even tried, unless you consider a peice of plywood thrown on top of two saw horses a table. I make walking sticks and canes but watch wood working videos in hopes of picking up tips and ideas that I might be able to use to assist me with my projects. Your "pencil sander" caught my attention as I have had the same problem with delicate areas to sand. I have a suggestion for you that works well for me...a cheap electric toothbrush. Trim the bristles off, put a little heat to the neck of the brush just below the head and bend it to a angle that will allow you to get into the tight area. Using adhesive backed sandpaper ,cut to fit the head of the toothbrush stick it on and you've got a mini sander. Enjoyed your video.
Your approach to wood is quite like carving stone. Many hours sanding. Especially when going to 2000 - 3000 grit,which can be tedious beyond belief. After I’m finished I always think it was worth it. Patiently sanding listening to music. It’s a great way to spend 4-6 hours,or longer making something as you hoped and expected and it turns out even better. Those hours are just a small amount of time in one day. When you arrive at day23 and can call it finished is always a time to celebrate.
Thanks for the inspiration, and pardon my rambling.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one of these, but your work is absolutely stunning 🤩. Just beautiful. I’ve been watching for a couple of years, and I thoroughly enjoy what you do.
I've never seen something so beautiful, this is without a doubt a table that I can describe as a dream, what a shame I'm too far away and I also don't have the money for it, but I'm very happy watching it on UA-cam as inspiration to make money and one day have a similar table. A big hug from Brazil
Hiya, I love watching you create a thing of beauty from a sawn up thing of beauty. The tree becomes alive again in a totally different form but it’s a skill that I sadly lack. My woodworking has never progressed beyond rustic sturdy which I am content with…..mostly, lol. Just wanted to say hi from Liverpool England and thank you for making such amazing works of art and entertaining videos. Best wishes,
Carole S. ☺️🇬🇧👏👏👏
the process from start to finish was amazing to watch. I would love a piece like this in my house. Great work as usual.
That table-desk is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had half as much patience with my sewing as you do in woodworking.
Absolutely love how it turned out! I've never seen anything like it,I'm also a huge fan of burning but I can never get the end product how I want it. I will keep this in mind for later,great job Cam
A full surface char would look pretty slick. I'd say a lot of wood furniture enthusiasts would like something similar for their firearms.
👍👍 I am absolutely blown away in some part of your videos Cam.
This weeks was......
How much you care about Scott, I can tell that not only his opinion matters to you but you care deeply for the friendship.
And I think that is just So important.
Here's to good friends 🍻
It's been a pleasure as always, take care.

Всегда люблю смотреть, как изготавливают столы из эпоксидной смолы, понимая, что себе такой не купила бы, но.... этот идеален! Такой я себе точно хотела бы!
I ❤ how much of a perfectionist you are. Such a painstaking process at the end but wow…Beautiful table!
Just so you know this is the only woodworking Channel that I subscribe to even though I'm a Gearhead loved your camaraderie😅
Instead of using a pencil with sandpaper may I suggest a trick I have used with an old electric toothbrush? Cut the bristles off a used brush and glue a small disc of sandpaper to the end of the brush. When it is placed back on the handle it provides a nice little disc sander for fine work. I love your work.
I totally agree, people need real friends that will not indulge in your thinking and tell you things how they are and help challenge you into a better place/person, we all need people like that in our lives, the world would be a better place.
Looks great!!! I have done caulking professionally in the past ( boring job, but I got good at it, lol). I think in your application, you do just fine. As long as the epoxy stays where it should, that's all that matters. Love your content, and thank you for sharing.
I appreciate you saying so anyway
I'm never ever going to make anything like this. Not capable, but I watched the entire video. I love what you did.
Just started streaming after I finished watching something else. Was watching and enjoying your process to make this table/office desk. The finished product is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing 👍🏾🔥
👍🏼💪🏻 I’m in Billings Montana and I’m in love with your work mate. It’s so awe inspiring and amazing every single time.
I love the charred look but have you ever thought of doing a shoshugibon design? 🤔 that would be GORGEOUS
a small tip.
if you put a vibrator on the wooden slab when pouring the resin it will allow the resin to penetrate the wood faster and deeper into the wood.
I mean me personally I prefer hearing the swears and hate hearing the bleeps, having said that, the bloke that emailed you about his 5 year old was extremely respectful and honestly its up to you how you make your content
I've seen quite a few of your videos though it's been about a year or so since I saw one and this episode earned my subscription. Though I am no one. You've earned it Man.
OMG 😮 ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I have never seen this before and I am in love with the way the char looks like black diamonds. You are incredibly talented and kinda funny. I also lived about fifteen minutes away from Bend Oregon.
I hit that like button 33 and a half minutes into this video ! 😁
Man, do I enjoy watching your videos !
I'm a painter/drywall/trim carpentry/handyman of 45 years and I love watching UA-cam vids to try to learn new things !
I've learned a lot watching yours !
Thank you ! Compared to you, I've probably got Sailor level pottymouth, but my youngest is 21, so fuggit . . ! 😂
This one is gorgeous. The color contrast alone is so eye catching
