Here’s a link to the limited run of the Blacktail Studio brass hammer. Thanks so much to DFM and Hoffman for making it possible! blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/products/the-brass-by-blacktail-studio
-patch-|-no patch-| meh art is art mate. and there is no reason for it. in art school i was taught you dont have to give a reason "why did you do 'X' for your art?" its in the eye of the beholder. let them all guess 'why' or 'why not' you did it. take the real reason you did it to your grave and leave it at that. i personally think it looks good. id use it for a table, or post it up as a wall piece personally, but thats just me. just depends on how i have the room designed at the time. reading the comments "butchered" they forget, the piece of wood was already butchered when you got it in the first place. so maybe you are just improving upon it. someone somewhere is gonna like it. it just takes one person who really wants it then its sold, its not like you gonna sell that one piece to 100s of people. so **shrug**. a way i think you could improve is with contrast. if your main piece is in dark wood, prob go with a light wood to contrast the dark woods finish? so with the dark walnut maybe go with a birch or white oak, or even a buckeye burl. just something that will pull your eye from spot to spot making the grain stand out more. thats just my opinion as an artist and designer.
I suspect that you have two types of viewers: those who enjoy the artistic aspects of what you do, and those who enjoy the process. I fall into the latter category, and absolutely loved seeing how you did the inlays. Great work!
I think "Glitch table" would be a good name; looking at this table it's like certain pieces aren't rendering right, with the grain going sideways or being the wrong color. I love it.
Your 10 minute deadpan bit about how sometimes a top needs filling had me in stitches. Reminds me of the time I was at a job site meeting, and the GC and the plumber were arguing about the piping for the sprinkler system, because they had a problem with the test tees. Apparently the plumber put his test tees too low, and he was arguing that they might have been low but it shouldn't have been an issue. Nobody laughed besides me, I thought I was going insane.
I know why people hate this! I live in a cheap apartment and this looks like my bathroom door, which has patches on it to cover up where the drunks that lived here before me kicked or punched in holes. It cheapens the appearance! Fine, whole, solid wood with its natural grain and unsullied beauty is always more pleasing to the eye. You do lovely work and I always appreciate how you let other peoples creativity inspire yours (I also love your not-so-subtle-humor), so my vote is to always keep doing what inspires YOU. It all turns out amazing!
@@intpleb4206 this is what I market my poorly made crap as, and it works lol, during lockdowns I had someone from bumfuck egypt (ok, scotland, but it's almost as exotic) inquiring about shipping costs. I'm in Poland. There's a sea in the way >
Haha wait so you don’t like it bc it looks like a wooden bathroom panel door? Haha like 2 wood veneer sheets with cardboard in the middle? Hahaha yea bro hahahaha it’s the same look with grains and all. Just different type of wood and thicker! This one just has boxes haha which literally zero panel doors have.
I’ve been watching for this last year with my girlfriend. We try and put a blacktail studios video on before we go to bed at least once a week. I love watching for the craftsmanship, she always falls asleep before me because your narrating is “hypnotizing.” Thank you for being the happy balance for us. We both get something out of your videos.
I wish I was 50 years younger and happened to find a teacher like you in a wood shop! I love, as does my husband, you videos. Have yet to watch one that doesn’t amaze me. Your sense of humor is up there too!
I have been binge watching U! OMG! I’m 66, female. I have never watch anyone do the work Ur doing. I know my Grandpa made furniture for the banks, during the depression. When I was old enough to appreciate what he did. I was around 10 yrs old. Wish I would have paid more attention. The tools U have (hand) are to die for. I could only dream. I love all the show. Never boring. U do make me laugh. Which is really a hard thing for me. Ty Janette
Patch or no patch, one still has to admire the craftsmanship and time that went into making this table. I'll admit it's not my personal style, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. Great work!
😂The idiot Scammer below used the wrong fake name! They must have forgotten they were logged into their fake BourbonMoth account while watching a Blacktail video. Don't ever fall for those "Real..." accounts saying you won something, FYI. Good Job Tard! Keep up the brilliant work @RealBourbonMoth.
Patch...I'm a nature photographer as well as a woodworker. One thing I've learned over the years is you can't please everybody. So, you please some people and let the others find something else that they DO like. At any rate, they're not wrong anymore than they're right. It's all perception. I think the table is beautiful and creative. Good job!
I can totally relate to that. I was a fine artist for over 35 years, but when I was starting out and going to galleries to see if they'd handle my work, I'd get responses like, "Do you paint old barns? They're selling really well, but you'd need to bring in at least 6 a month, or it wouldn't be worth our time to promote you." Well, I painted really interesting faces, of people that intrigued me, some really large and just the face. Definitely not for everyone, so I opened my own art gallery and painted what I wanted to paint! That's the only way to be true to yourself And Cam, it really doesn't matter what people say here, about patch or no patch, do what's in your heart, what makes you happy and proud and let's you sleep at night. You're a great artist/craftsman! I love watching you work! At one point I put my huge oak easel in the front window of my gallery and people LOVED it! Not only meeting the artist, but watching her work! I hope you get as much pleasure out of your audience as I got out of mine... and as much pleasure as your viewers get watching a talented woodworker make exquisite dining tables out of "the stuff people used to burn"! Do what makes you happy! And thank you for allowing us to watch these amazing creations evolve! Susan Keane
I've been woodworking since I was 14 and I'm still trying to find my niche. I love the fact that you are so open with your processes, tangible, mental, and emotional. I'm really struggling to come up with "what to do" from one project to the next. I've been doing cutting boards, sold a few given away more as gifts. Your videos are very uplifting for someone who aspires to make woodworking almost a way of life. Thank you and I'll keep watching. By the way I think the patchwork is excellent! Anything that makes a person ask you "how did you come up with that" is validation of a job well done.
Best of luck. I'm 74 and have done woodworking since I was about 10 years old...I still haven't found a "niche." I've gotten to the point I just build things I want to see and then give them away because I've filled my house with "stuff" I've built.
Boone, I do hope you'll find your niche. A niche where you love what you are doing and is able to "make an honest living" (I think it's called when being able to pay your bills) and you'll find peace in your heart and mind accomplish that combination. ❤
Patch. I absolutely in love with this table. I’d call it the quilted table. It’s so unique, and I really like the contrast of the shape patch corners, and the rounded legs and table edges. Well done!
No patch. I really like how you listen to peoples opinions and continue on with the artist mindset that you are comfortable with. I continue to learn with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your skills with us here.
A year later, I'm sure my comments don't carry much weight. I've recently come across your videos and have really enjoyed them, but I can't understand why you made patchwork out of such a beautiful table. I know, different strokes for different folks. I love your commentary throughout your videos and the fact that you share your failures as well. So many can learn from your mistakes. Will be watching more in the future!
Patch: I thought I'd hate it, but did my best to keep an open mind and you won me over! I thinking blending the "stain" to help the colors balance was the perfect move, your risk paid a reward IMO! I'm sure it'll go for much more than $1!
Patch or no Patch. I think it would be cool if the patches were in a darker wood to make them stand out even more. It looks nice the way you did it, but maybe try to keep the grain of the wood in mind as you cut, so it's parallel to the cut. Somtimes it looks like your patches are not parallel to each other.
I think the best way to get the patchwork thing to be really clean is to lean into the contrast. Like if you tried using darker woods and pairing it with maple pieces too. Then you could have three distinct colors between the table and the patches.
I'm honestly fall into camp no-patch, but this project is still an impressive display of craftsmanship. I unfortunately don't have the space (or time!) to take on this sort of craft, but I do love to binge your videos once in a while. They are very relaxing, and satisfying to watch for those of us wanna-be makers. Thanks for posting!
patch! love the patch work! the grain direction you randomly used really gives this a unique look. each time you look at this table you see something new. this is what woodworking is all about! thank you for sharing.
I can kinda understand why other people don't like the patchy looks but to me it looks fantastic. What you did was phenomenal and I enjoyed watching the whole video
I think the inlays being perpendicular with slightly contrasting colors and figure, turned out very nice. The real reward comes when you hit it with that finish. I might have added in some varying sized round plugs of shell flame or fiddleback maple. I’d mix circles and squares and maybe overlap them randomly. A lot of one-of a-kind potential for sure. 👍🏻
Patch or no patch, I love your end results. I may not like some of the aesthetic choices, but I love your workmanship. Keep doing whatever patches, bowties, epoxies or natural voids make you happy and I'll keep happily watching!
Patch! Man this turned out pretty cool. It’s different and unique and the way you put your spin on it makes a huge impact on its success. I really like the combination of all the figured wood patches creating more depth and movement.
Patch! First, let me say thank you. You’ve literally changed my life. It is solely your videos that inspired me to turn my hobby in to a business. My daughter and I have never been happier. Second, the chisel shots…. Yeeeeaah, those were crazy satisfying! Third, you nailed it with the brass hammer. I’ll have to wait until the next round, but I’m looking forward to getting one. On the subject of products, keep it up, never mind the haters that don’t like to be “sold”. All your recommendations are spot on and the majority of us end up buying those products at the end of the day anyways. To me, you deserve to be paid for your work and many of us will be proud to support you and use a product with your brand on it. One thing you may want to consider is having a sample size that you offer a huge discount on. Customers appreciate it, and it’s a great way to get people hooked. Nothing like some good ol N3 withdrawals to drive business. Anyways… if you’ve made it this far in my comment I’d like to give you a little bit of credit (LOL) by doing exactly what you asked and giving you feedback on the patches. I really like the concept. On this particular table I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I feel like it would be more striking to me if it looked a bit more “intentional”. Ugh, this sucks to put it this way, but it almost looks like you were trying to cover something up but couldn’t quite match the color. However, if anyone will make it spectacular, it’s you. Personally, maybe try larger groupings of the patches that trail away in a slightly more linear pattern. Like throwing a handful of grass in to a stream. I think matching the direction of the grain yet using more contrasting colors would draw the eye and have a better flow. Have you thought about doing something like a crack/split in the crotch filled with epoxy as a kind of starting point for a bunch of inlaid patches that follow the direction of the wood pattern as if being pulled along by the flowing epoxy? I definitely think you’re on to something. I’m intrigued. Who know, maybe I’ll even start on an “INLAID INTENTIONS” table myself. Thanks again Cam!
I really liked the subtlety of his design, but now I want to see a table like what you described! What an incredible centerpiece that would be! I don't do any woodworking myself, I just love seeing what creative people do with their preferred medium 😁
I thoroughly enjoyed what he did with this table but I definitely would love to see how your idea would come out too! If you decide to do it definitely post it. I’d love to see it!
patch, easily one of my fav things youve put out, firm believer in atypical styling. I would even say that maybe you can lean in to it harder with a more visually distinct patching wood, the ripple effect was absolutely incredible.
When it comes to a table like this, you aren't selling it to the masses. Only one person is buying it, and only one person needs to really love it. I'm here to see the creativity and the process, so im set no matter what
Patch. The patches you created are on that fine line of being noticeable, yet not detracting from the beauty of the final results. Watching you reminded me of all the times I watched my mom patch my dad's jeans, which is an art in itself. My parents were very frugal and reused and repurposed so many things because they lived through the Depression and this made me think of the many ways that people living then would create beautiful things through necessity. The table makes me think of the strength of the people that lived through The Great Depression.
As someone who's learning to become a woodworking artesan, your videos are very inspiring, educational and just overall fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Patch or not to patch . . that is NOT the question . Personally I'm on the fence about patches but you did a fantastic job presenting the option and that's really a woodworkers best tool . Options and an open mind to their use keep us moving in new directions and avoid the all too common proverbial ruts we tend to find ourselves in . Thanks for your continued pursuit of perfection .
I actually really dig the rounded edges, they look slick and I bet they have a nice feel to them. I think that sometimes they way a piece of furniture feels is overlooked
Patched table looks amazing, I'd call it something along the lines of "Glitch"(The name would've been perfectly suited if the table be in green & purple, something futuristic like), great job!
Patch. I love watching content like this. I’m an almost 70 year old woman, so I’m probably go into making my own tables, but really enjoy watching you do it❤
Patch … I’m a fan of character, every inlay/patch makes the piece of art unique. One of a kind! With each of your videos I learn something new … thank you for being you!
There's no way anyone could hate your work. This channel is absolutely brilliant. Watching a slab of wood being turned into a functional item (as well as an art piece) is so satisfying. You're way outta my league but your work has inspired me to take on some little projects in both metal and wood. Cheers Brutha, keep 'em coming.
As for the name I think this table reminds me of a 'collage.' All the elements overlapping and complimenting each other to come together in a much bigger picture like you do in scrapbooks or yearbooks. All the details add their own unique aspect, but as a whole they lend to each other a cohesiveness that I really like. I love Japanese woodworking and joinery so this table was actually very appealing to me.
A lot people can copy a design but it takes a creative designer to take chances and make something out of the norm. I love that you took a chance , put the work in and made something very cool. Don’t stop! Thanks for sharing.
Dude, I love watching you work! I love your thinking, your problem solving, your humility that leads to wisdom. It is a complete joy, and a complete privilege to watch a fellow woodworker at his task. I've been a carpenter/woodworker for going on 38 yrs. I've learned more from watching your content for a few hrs, then yrs of practice on my own. People dont neccesarily understand the value of this content, or they forget that this wasn't available to learn from just yrs ago. Watch your stuff, with the heart that is put into it CERTAINLY beats any modern day "movie". Excellent content! Excellent execution of well thought out problem solving! So yeah, your videos completely hold my attention! Thank you for going to all the trouble of filming, on top of whatever your against that you have to solve! Very grateful!! 66carpenter
I had no idea what to expect with the patchwork, but WOW! That turned out really beautiful and the patches are a lot more subtle than I expected. Good call on mixing the finishes to help the different woods play nicely together :)
No patch. In my opinion, but I always come back and watch your projects through to the end. I love that you are not afraid to take a risk and do something outside of the norm, that’s how all great artist become recognized, they create masterpieces that go “against the grain”.
I live in the UK and can honestly say I never miss one of your videos. I absolutely love the work you do. As a 20 year veteran cabinet maker it's refreshing to see such beautiful finish work. I truly believe you have some of the best epoxy work out there. For the table name how about the Amalgamation table.
My Grandfather - whom I wasn't able to meet in my live, because he died shortly before my birth - was a master carpenter. Allthough we never met, I also just LOVE Wood as working Material and learnd a lot from my dad, who in turn learned it from his dad. Neither my dad nor I are in woodworking (because of money and space), but I Love to watch you guys working with this wonderfull material ... and whenever I have the chance I try it myself ... mostly with handworking tools or just a dremel. Maybe I would have become a carpenter if I met my grandfather .... I think I would.
Patch.. I think the table looks amazing. Creative ways to fix problem areas to make a previously "unusable" piece of wood not only usable but beautiful is something to be admired.
Wow, I don't get why anyone could hate you over this amazing work. It's just a piece of art - and art is not for everyone! I totally love the finished product, and I really enjoyed watching you making it. Please keep up the good stuff, and haters gonna hate anyway!
Patch or No Patch - I’m digging the Mondrian Cube style. Someone else said it but it would be awesome to see other woods blended in. Dramatic contrast would be stunning. Great job!
Patch or no patch, that is one beautiful table! I was unsure about the patch work from the beginning but when you see the whole thing together it is absolutely gorgeous. Great work as always, I love seeing you try and do different things. It keeps the videos interesting. Thanks
Patch, I love falling asleep to your videos. It take me like a week to watch one, I got back the next night and start where I left off, great work! Thanks!
You are absolutely right about the whole pleasing the masses. You really only have to get that ONE person to love your piece enough to buy it. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm blown away by this 'patchwork' table, it's so beautiful. I love jigsaw puzzles, and this table would be perfect to sit down & do one with my family, because the table reminds me of one. It's stunning, one of your best pieces yet.
Gotta tell the dog story!! Not a huge fan of the look, but have mad respect for the process. I love adding bowties to my projects because it feels really good to pull it off. So to go through this process, adding all those "patches"....is really impressive. Good job!!
Always good to account for taste. Sometimes we're not gonna like how something looks, in our own work and others', doesn't necessarily mean it's not good stuff.
I have never seen the patchwork in a table like that! Looks like a lot of work but I loved the result! Something I’ve noticed every time I watch your videos is that I always learn something new and I love it😁 Cheers from Norway
Same! I was really skeptical, but I loved the finished table. It definitely feels high end but also something that I wouldn't be afraid to let a family around either.
I too do not have the luxury of possessing perfect wood blanks, so it has been my practice to salvage all with Inlay's and Experimental Jointery to enhance the appearance of most all of my projects. I have found that if it passes my critical eye and I am satisfied, my customers will be also. 72 years at this and still counting. Thank you for what you do, you are my incentive to keep moving on.
Patch or no patch. That desk is incredible! The patches are just subtle enough to keep you looking for more. It seems like a good way to save a slab that other people would see a fire wood. Who cares if people don’t like it Cam! You continue to challenge yourself through this process and show real growth in your abilities as a woodworker. Let them hate, most of them can’t do what you do!
Patch, and I completely agree, Walter. I'd also point out that the rounded corners and edges help mitigate the "boxiness" of the inset repair patches. Great job, Cam.
I was taught by my school teacher 40 yrs ago that patch work is absolutely fine, IF the grain is flowing in the same direction to not make it stand out. I personally would never do a patch job against the grain because of his teaching, but I do really like your work!! I'm sure that whoever buys it will enjoy the conversations it brings up as well.
This is a work of art. I was in the section of people that thought I wasn't going to like it. I turned out great. Also, I fall into the category of people who just like watching woodworkers, whether they are using hand, tools, power tools, or a combination of both. I get so many ideas and information from you and so many others. Thank you.
I may not ‘get’ the patchwork look aesthetically, but I thinks it’s cool that you tried it. I am always happy to watch you work and listen to you ramble. 🙂
Patch, I’m not a wood worker but I can’t help but admire the work and heart put into this piece, “Natures Curse” due to the patches needed for repairing left over scars
Patch! Cam, it's awesome seeing you try new things. The "subtle" humor throughout the whole video and the great tables keeps me coming back! You've inspires me to start my own black epoxy table which should be finished in a week or so. Also have my first client lined up! Keep at it brotha!!
I love your patchwork SO much, that I think you should call it the Kintsugi Table - which means “golden repair”. Although it comes from the Japanese custom of repairing broken *pottery* with gold, the general idea is that, as a result of your efforts, you’ve created a piece of art and something that is stronger and more beautiful. Here is a great explanation of the concept (I am quoting from an NBC, Better by Today article that you can google if you want to read the entire thing): “built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient”
Patch. I’ve watched every vid on your channel, most of them multiple times so I get really excited when a new one comes out. Hands down this is the best channel on UA-cam. Thank you for everything you do Cam! There was some seriously good humor in this one! Can’t wait for that Blacktail hammer to show up in the mail!
"make something some people will hate" is really really good advice! i love watching your videos Cam, and have been a long time viewer. this table looks absolutely gorgeous, it might actually be one of my favorites from you yet! Thanks for sharing man!
i feel like you could call this the “something old, something new” table those legs have a classical feel to them and with the soft round edge it’s really lovely overall.
I love watching you work, create, brainstorm, and finish these pieces! Also, of all the woodworkers, your commentary, sarcasm, transparency is great!! Since I found your channel, I have been on a binge. Ironically, I am not even into woodworking.
Patch or No Patch i mean like u mentioned, there’s really no such thing as perfect and i love that your table shows that everything and everyone has flaws, and in some ways it makes us specials and perhaps more beautiful! Please keep up your good work, your videos are calming and soothing, really interesting to see the hard work going on behind crafting a simple table. All love bro🤟🏼
I loved the patches! Although I'd like to see a more patterned disign, like the patches going in a spiral or somthing. And I also think that if you mix two really different colours of wood like a really dark one and a another really bright you could end with somthing ASTONISHING. This is the first video I see of you and I'm charmed! Definitely checking up another few.
Patch... I think the patchwork looks great. You did it for the right reason which was to rid the wood of knots and voids... Great job, beautiful table...
I love the block patterns. You could make spiral patterns using them, nothing too insane, but small squares rising up into bigger ones that rotate as the pattern progresses. Like smoke rising
As a cnc operator i love seeing people work with hand tools, specially when people take their time to make something precise. It's like art to work with hand tools, and seeing peoples creativity and the mistakes they make is instructive and inspiring for me.
Patch! I love the patches and I’m surprised by that. As a woodturner, I tend to keep my pieces pretty simple - no epoxy, very few inlays, carving, or treatments. You mentioned the last table was named after Salvador Dali and I like that. This one reminds me of Picasso’s cubism, so I’d say the Picasso table would be a great name for it.
I've seen the patchwork before and I think it's unique and artistic in a simple way. I like the way you did it, and I appreciate the little bit of wisdom there. "Try making something that some people hate." Everything has a niche audience, no matter what it is, and I have experience from three wildly different industries to back that up. Keep it up, Cameron. I just wish you posted videos more frequently, you're one of my top 3 favorite subscriptions on youtube.
Patch, I dig it! As with most of my own projects in wood, it’s the finish that sets it apart. Love the work, the demonstrations, and the nano finishing. Great job!
Patch! I love it! I think it might look amazing too if you switched up woods for the patches so it created more of a patchwork look. Like one wood a shade darker one the same like you did with the walnut, and one lighter. I think the three colors and different grains would look incredible. I want one for my kitchen table. But I think I liked the sharp edges. Rounding the top made the table look soft since the legs were rounded too. With patches the desk was not a soft piece of work. It needed some edges that weren’t smoothed out to match the bold square patch.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would love to see something like this with contrasting wood tones. I think it'd look great. Keep up the great work.
PATCH! I agree. I think contrasting patches would be kind of cool looking in the right setting. Maybe not the board room, but in the "Game Room" (of sorts) or a lounge for just relaxing.
I love that you answer my questions literally as I’m asking them in my mind so definitely appreciate your knowledge. I think because you work with wood so much it’s an art medium and you get to expand on possibilities vs someone seeing it as a piece for more traditional uses.
His work is great. Don't know why he spends so much time defending himself in his videos? Hearing a number of YTers doing this and don't understand it. Who cares what the negative nancies are saying ... unless provoking them gets more clicks and more clicks = more $$$ ... then I get might get it - don't like it, but $$ is $$$ Still love this guys work - and commentary - I just ignore the negative comments when scrolling
Patch :) Been watching a load of your videos lately - as I recently just discovered the channel, and just wanted to saw that I really enjoy the narration as you go through the process. Super soothing and love that you don't make it crazy high energy. So nice to work whilst the videos play - and not anticipating any jarring exclamations or shouts. Really appreciate all the content.
Here’s a link to the limited run of the Blacktail Studio brass hammer. Thanks so much to DFM and Hoffman for making it possible! blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/products/the-brass-by-blacktail-studio
-patch-|-no patch-| meh art is art mate. and there is no reason for it. in art school i was taught you dont have to give a reason "why did you do 'X' for your art?" its in the eye of the beholder. let them all guess 'why' or 'why not' you did it. take the real reason you did it to your grave and leave it at that. i personally think it looks good. id use it for a table, or post it up as a wall piece personally, but thats just me. just depends on how i have the room designed at the time. reading the comments "butchered" they forget, the piece of wood was already butchered when you got it in the first place. so maybe you are just improving upon it. someone somewhere is gonna like it. it just takes one person who really wants it then its sold, its not like you gonna sell that one piece to 100s of people. so **shrug**. a way i think you could improve is with contrast. if your main piece is in dark wood, prob go with a light wood to contrast the dark woods finish? so with the dark walnut maybe go with a birch or white oak, or even a buckeye burl. just something that will pull your eye from spot to spot making the grain stand out more. thats just my opinion as an artist and designer.
Nice hammer sadly the shipping to Australia would be a killer cost wise. Oh no shipping to Australia.
SHIPWRECK table
Goes with the patched theme. And the hardwork put in.
Patch for sure. Not for everything but looks great here and there.
An artistic mind is a mind of its own.
Most people do not get it, but those who get it pay top dollar for it.
"I love all kinds of tops.
I love those big natural tops too.
I love these augmented tops.
I don’t gravitate towards the tiny tops that much."
[15:35]
"Recently did a big black top"
I've never understood why so many women go for the plastic bolt-on tops... It never looks like the real tops. Also never moves like the real tops.
I like big tops, itty bitty tops, missisippi tops, in the city tops. I like the pretty tops with the bowtie...
I suspect that you have two types of viewers: those who enjoy the artistic aspects of what you do, and those who enjoy the process. I fall into the latter category, and absolutely loved seeing how you did the inlays. Great work!
im both type at once 😎
I am the third type - here for the witty humor.
3rd type, those who enjoy someone suffering working hard hehehe
I love both and yet have no experience
I love both
I think "Glitch table" would be a good name; looking at this table it's like certain pieces aren't rendering right, with the grain going sideways or being the wrong color. I love it.
_That_ is a good name!
Like a glitch in the Matrix.
Wow good name
Reminds me of missingno from the original Pokemon that was a glitch
Patch. Tetris?
that's literally what I was going to say. you beat be to it.
Your 10 minute deadpan bit about how sometimes a top needs filling had me in stitches. Reminds me of the time I was at a job site meeting, and the GC and the plumber were arguing about the piping for the sprinkler system, because they had a problem with the test tees. Apparently the plumber put his test tees too low, and he was arguing that they might have been low but it shouldn't have been an issue. Nobody laughed besides me, I thought I was going insane.
Found myself thinking “we still talking about tables here, Cam?” Haha
I know why people hate this! I live in a cheap apartment and this looks like my bathroom door, which has patches on it to cover up where the drunks that lived here before me kicked or punched in holes. It cheapens the appearance! Fine, whole, solid wood with its natural grain and unsullied beauty is always more pleasing to the eye. You do lovely work and I always appreciate how you let other peoples creativity inspire yours (I also love your not-so-subtle-humor), so my vote is to always keep doing what inspires YOU. It all turns out amazing!
Couldn "ruining" a whole slab of wood just be another flex?
@@snealf013 Sure, it just depends on your perspective lol. Rich people can call this style "ghetto chic" and it'll sell like hotcakes!
@@intpleb4206 this is what I market my poorly made crap as, and it works lol, during lockdowns I had someone from bumfuck egypt (ok, scotland, but it's almost as exotic) inquiring about shipping costs. I'm in Poland. There's a sea in the way >
Haha wait so you don’t like it bc it looks like a wooden bathroom panel door? Haha like 2 wood veneer sheets with cardboard in the middle? Hahaha yea bro hahahaha it’s the same look with grains and all. Just different type of wood and thicker! This one just has boxes haha which literally zero panel doors have.
Yep, I feel the same way, not a fan of the patches, especially on a high quality expensive slab of Hardwood.
I’ve been watching for this last year with my girlfriend. We try and put a blacktail studios video on before we go to bed at least once a week. I love watching for the craftsmanship, she always falls asleep before me because your narrating is “hypnotizing.” Thank you for being the happy balance for us. We both get something out of your videos.
I wish I was 50 years younger and happened to find a teacher like you in a wood shop! I love, as does my husband, you videos. Have yet to watch one that doesn’t amaze me. Your sense of humor is up there too!

I have been binge watching U! OMG! I’m 66, female. I have never watch anyone do the work Ur doing. I know my Grandpa made furniture for the banks, during the depression. When I was old enough to appreciate what he did. I was around 10 yrs old. Wish I would have paid more attention. The tools U have (hand) are to die for. I could only dream. I love all the show. Never boring. U do make me laugh. Which is really a hard thing for me. Ty Janette
Patch or no patch, one still has to admire the craftsmanship and time that went into making this table. I'll admit it's not my personal style, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. Great work!
😂The idiot Scammer below used the wrong fake name! They must have forgotten they were logged into their fake BourbonMoth account while watching a Blacktail video. Don't ever fall for those "Real..." accounts saying you won something, FYI. Good Job Tard! Keep up the brilliant work @RealBourbonMoth.
Patch...I'm a nature photographer as well as a woodworker. One thing I've learned over the years is you can't please everybody. So, you please some people and let the others find something else that they DO like. At any rate, they're not wrong anymore than they're right. It's all perception. I think the table is beautiful and creative. Good job!
I can totally relate to that. I was a fine artist for over 35 years, but when I was starting out and going to galleries to see if they'd handle my work, I'd get responses like, "Do you paint old barns? They're selling really well, but you'd need to bring in at least 6 a month, or it wouldn't be worth our time to promote you." Well, I painted really interesting faces, of people that intrigued me, some really large and just the face. Definitely not for everyone, so I opened my own art gallery and painted what I wanted to paint! That's the only way to be true to yourself And Cam, it really doesn't matter what people say here, about patch or no patch, do what's in your heart, what makes you happy and proud and let's you sleep at night. You're a great artist/craftsman! I love watching you work! At one point I put my huge oak easel in the front window of my gallery and people LOVED it! Not only meeting the artist, but watching her work! I hope you get as much pleasure out of your audience as I got out of mine... and as much pleasure as your viewers get watching a talented woodworker make exquisite dining tables out of "the stuff people used to burn"! Do what makes you happy! And thank you for allowing us to watch these amazing creations evolve! Susan Keane
You can be the best chocolate ice-cream in the world, but that doesn't change the fact that some people just like strawberry.
@@davidramziz3200 ROFL 🤣. THAT IS SO TRUE !
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
@@davidramziz3200 Great analogy!
You motivated me to make my own desk. I did awful but it's motivated me to get much better lol. Thank you!
Лоскутный стол это крутейшая идея, имеет шикарный вид.
Я из России и я твой подписчик. Всегда с удовольствием смотрю твои видео. Удачи Кем!
I've been woodworking since I was 14 and I'm still trying to find my niche. I love the fact that you are so open with your processes, tangible, mental, and emotional. I'm really struggling to come up with "what to do" from one project to the next. I've been doing cutting boards, sold a few given away more as gifts. Your videos are very uplifting for someone who aspires to make woodworking almost a way of life. Thank you and I'll keep watching. By the way I think the patchwork is excellent! Anything that makes a person ask you "how did you come up with that" is validation of a job well done.
Best of luck. I'm 74 and have done woodworking since I was about 10 years old...I still haven't found a "niche." I've gotten to the point I just build things I want to see and then give them away because I've filled my house with "stuff" I've built.
Boone, I do hope you'll find your niche. A niche where you love what you are doing and is able to "make an honest living" (I think it's called when being able to pay your bills) and you'll find peace in your heart and mind accomplish that combination. ❤
Patch. I absolutely in love with this table. I’d call it the quilted table. It’s so unique, and I really like the contrast of the shape patch corners, and the rounded legs and table edges. Well done!
No patch. I really like how you listen to peoples opinions and continue on with the artist mindset that you are comfortable with. I continue to learn with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your skills with us here.
A year later, I'm sure my comments don't carry much weight. I've recently come across your videos and have really enjoyed them, but I can't understand why you made patchwork out of such a beautiful table. I know, different strokes for different folks. I love your commentary throughout your videos and the fact that you share your failures as well. So many can learn from your mistakes. Will be watching more in the future!
Patch: I thought I'd hate it, but did my best to keep an open mind and you won me over! I thinking blending the "stain" to help the colors balance was the perfect move, your risk paid a reward IMO! I'm sure it'll go for much more than $1!
Patch or no Patch. I think it would be cool if the patches were in a darker wood to make them stand out even more. It looks nice the way you did it, but maybe try to keep the grain of the wood in mind as you cut, so it's parallel to the cut. Somtimes it looks like your patches are not parallel to each other.
I second the darker wood, although the tigers-eye effect the inlays had was pretty cool too.
I had to smile at your literal interpretation of Cam's end of video instruction. 😁
Putting the grain perpendicular to the rest of the wood adds strength.
this is some good constructive criticism
Agree completely. And his dog looks racist.
I think the best way to get the patchwork thing to be really clean is to lean into the contrast. Like if you tried using darker woods and pairing it with maple pieces too. Then you could have three distinct colors between the table and the patches.
Yeah, when blending clashes... go for contrast. 👍
So you're saying he was too subtle in the end?
Patch. . .
Loved the finished table. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
I'm honestly fall into camp no-patch, but this project is still an impressive display of craftsmanship.
I unfortunately don't have the space (or time!) to take on this sort of craft, but I do love to binge your videos once in a while. They are very relaxing, and satisfying to watch for those of us wanna-be makers.
Thanks for posting!
patch! love the patch work! the grain direction you randomly used really gives this a unique look. each time you look at this table you see something new. this is what woodworking is all about! thank you for sharing.
I can kinda understand why other people don't like the patchy looks but to me it looks fantastic. What you did was phenomenal and I enjoyed watching the whole video
I think the inlays being perpendicular with slightly contrasting colors and figure, turned out very nice. The real reward comes when you hit it with that finish. I might have added in some varying sized round plugs of shell flame or fiddleback maple. I’d mix circles and squares and maybe overlap them randomly. A lot of one-of a-kind potential for sure. 👍🏻
Patch or no patch, I love your end results. I may not like some of the aesthetic choices, but I love your workmanship. Keep doing whatever patches, bowties, epoxies or natural voids make you happy and I'll keep happily watching!
I like the idea of the patchwork, would be cool to see it arranged over the entire surface with more patches. Thank you for inspiring videos!
The patch work is the most respectful use of old flawed wood pieces.
Patch! Man this turned out pretty cool. It’s different and unique and the way you put your spin on it makes a huge impact on its success. I really like the combination of all the figured wood patches creating more depth and movement.
Patch! First, let me say thank you. You’ve literally changed my life. It is solely your videos that inspired me to turn my hobby in to a business. My daughter and I have never been happier. Second, the chisel shots…. Yeeeeaah, those were crazy satisfying! Third, you nailed it with the brass hammer. I’ll have to wait until the next round, but I’m looking forward to getting one. On the subject of products, keep it up, never mind the haters that don’t like to be “sold”. All your recommendations are spot on and the majority of us end up buying those products at the end of the day anyways. To me, you deserve to be paid for your work and many of us will be proud to support you and use a product with your brand on it. One thing you may want to consider is having a sample size that you offer a huge discount on. Customers appreciate it, and it’s a great way to get people hooked. Nothing like some good ol N3 withdrawals to drive business. Anyways… if you’ve made it this far in my comment I’d like to give you a little bit of credit (LOL) by doing exactly what you asked and giving you feedback on the patches. I really like the concept. On this particular table I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I feel like it would be more striking to me if it looked a bit more “intentional”. Ugh, this sucks to put it this way, but it almost looks like you were trying to cover something up but couldn’t quite match the color. However, if anyone will make it spectacular, it’s you. Personally, maybe try larger groupings of the patches that trail away in a slightly more linear pattern. Like throwing a handful of grass in to a stream. I think matching the direction of the grain yet using more contrasting colors would draw the eye and have a better flow. Have you thought about doing something like a crack/split in the crotch filled with epoxy as a kind of starting point for a bunch of inlaid patches that follow the direction of the wood pattern as if being pulled along by the flowing epoxy? I definitely think you’re on to something. I’m intrigued. Who know, maybe I’ll even start on an “INLAID INTENTIONS” table myself. Thanks again Cam!
I really liked the subtlety of his design, but now I want to see a table like what you described! What an incredible centerpiece that would be! I don't do any woodworking myself, I just love seeing what creative people do with their preferred medium 😁
I thoroughly enjoyed what he did with this table but I definitely would love to see how your idea would come out too! If you decide to do it definitely post it. I’d love to see it!
patch, easily one of my fav things youve put out, firm believer in atypical styling. I would even say that maybe you can lean in to it harder with a more visually distinct patching wood, the ripple effect was absolutely incredible.
When it comes to a table like this, you aren't selling it to the masses. Only one person is buying it, and only one person needs to really love it. I'm here to see the creativity and the process, so im set no matter what
Patch. The patches you created are on that fine line of being noticeable, yet not detracting from the beauty of the final results. Watching you reminded me of all the times I watched my mom patch my dad's jeans, which is an art in itself. My parents were very frugal and reused and repurposed so many things because they lived through the Depression and this made me think of the many ways that people living then would create beautiful things through necessity. The table makes me think of the strength of the people that lived through The Great Depression.
I had my share of patched clothes growing up. Now I play with patches making quilts.
As someone who's learning to become a woodworking artesan, your videos are very inspiring, educational and just overall fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Patch or not to patch . . that is NOT the question . Personally I'm on the fence about patches but you did a fantastic job presenting the option and that's really a woodworkers best tool . Options and an open mind to their use keep us moving in new directions and avoid the all too common proverbial ruts we tend to find ourselves in . Thanks for your continued pursuit of perfection .
I'm a quilter. I LOVE patchwork. Especially what you did. Huzzah!!
This is actually a beautiful table top, in fact I think patchwork could be even more dramatic in variation of colour and still look amazing.
Honestly I was not expecting to like the patchy look. But you, sir, have done it again. It looks absolutely beautiful after the finishing touches!
The table ain’t for me, but with how many hacks there are on UA-cam, I really do appreciate the craftsmanship you put into your work.
No patch. Your work as always is absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch. Thank you for letting me come into your shop and watch.
I actually really dig the rounded edges, they look slick and I bet they have a nice feel to them. I think that sometimes they way a piece of furniture feels is overlooked
Patched table looks amazing, I'd call it something along the lines of "Glitch"(The name would've been perfectly suited if the table be in green & purple, something futuristic like), great job!
I agree with that name, I was thinking "Texture Glitch" but "Glitch" works as well.
Glitch is good , it fits.
I love the Patchwork in the table...Beautiful! And yes....I watched all the way to the end. Your talking throughout is very interesting. Thank you!
Patch. I love watching content like this. I’m an almost 70 year old woman, so I’m probably go into making my own tables, but really enjoy watching you do it❤
Patch … I’m a fan of character, every inlay/patch makes the piece of art unique. One of a kind! With each of your videos I learn something new … thank you for being you!
There's no way anyone could hate your work. This channel is absolutely brilliant. Watching a slab of wood being turned into a functional item (as well as an art piece) is so satisfying. You're way outta my league but your work has inspired me to take on some little projects in both metal and wood. Cheers Brutha, keep 'em coming.
Patch! I've watched this a couple times and I really love the end result.
Patch. Love how the table turned out. Love the soft edges to it as well.
As for the name I think this table reminds me of a 'collage.' All the elements overlapping and complimenting each other to come together in a much bigger picture like you do in scrapbooks or yearbooks. All the details add their own unique aspect, but as a whole they lend to each other a cohesiveness that I really like. I love Japanese woodworking and joinery so this table was actually very appealing to me.
patch, I'm genuinely shocked by how good it looks. It's such a happy table. The patches make it look so much more interesting as an art object.
Watching your videos every night just to get myself to sleep. Thanks a lot! It helped me with my insomnia.
A lot people can copy a design but it takes a creative designer to take chances and make something out of the norm. I love that you took a chance , put the work in and made something very cool. Don’t stop! Thanks for sharing.
Dude, I love watching you work! I love your thinking, your problem solving, your humility that leads to wisdom. It is a complete joy, and a complete privilege to watch a fellow woodworker at his task. I've been a carpenter/woodworker for going on 38 yrs. I've learned more from watching your content for a few hrs, then yrs of practice on my own. People dont neccesarily understand the value of this content, or they forget that this wasn't available to learn from just yrs ago. Watch your stuff, with the heart that is put into it CERTAINLY beats any modern day "movie". Excellent content! Excellent execution of well thought out problem solving! So yeah, your videos completely hold my attention! Thank you for going to all the trouble of filming, on top of whatever your against that you have to solve! Very grateful!! 66carpenter
patch or no patch: I love the table. Its gorgeous!
ПОЛНОСТЬЮ СОГЛАСНА 👍
ОЧЕНЬ ИНТЕРЕСНАЯ ИДЕЯ ❤
I had no idea what to expect with the patchwork, but WOW! That turned out really beautiful and the patches are a lot more subtle than I expected. Good call on mixing the finishes to help the different woods play nicely together :)
No patch. In my opinion, but I always come back and watch your projects through to the end. I love that you are not afraid to take a risk and do something outside of the norm, that’s how all great artist become recognized, they create masterpieces that go “against the grain”.
I live in the UK and can honestly say I never miss one of your videos. I absolutely love the work you do. As a 20 year veteran cabinet maker it's refreshing to see such beautiful finish work. I truly believe you have some of the best epoxy work out there. For the table name how about the Amalgamation table.
somewhere there's a metalworking channel with a guy named Ryan Metal commenting this
My Grandfather - whom I wasn't able to meet in my live, because he died shortly before my birth - was a master carpenter. Allthough we never met, I also just LOVE Wood as working Material and learnd a lot from my dad, who in turn learned it from his dad. Neither my dad nor I are in woodworking (because of money and space), but I Love to watch you guys working with this wonderfull material ... and whenever I have the chance I try it myself ... mostly with handworking tools or just a dremel. Maybe I would have become a carpenter if I met my grandfather .... I think I would.
Patch.. I think the table looks amazing. Creative ways to fix problem areas to make a previously "unusable" piece of wood not only usable but beautiful is something to be admired.
Wow, I don't get why anyone could hate you over this amazing work. It's just a piece of art - and art is not for everyone! I totally love the finished product, and I really enjoyed watching you making it.
Please keep up the good stuff, and haters gonna hate anyway!
Agreed, but too much epoxy. How about a more natural solution, say, floor sweepings?
Its called clickbait
Patch or No Patch - I’m digging the Mondrian Cube style. Someone else said it but it would be awesome to see other woods blended in. Dramatic contrast would be stunning. Great job!
Ya I was hoping they would actually pop out more would be really unique
Patch or no patch, that is one beautiful table! I was unsure about the patch work from the beginning but when you see the whole thing together it is absolutely gorgeous. Great work as always, I love seeing you try and do different things. It keeps the videos interesting. Thanks
Patch, I love falling asleep to your videos. It take me like a week to watch one, I got back the next night and start where I left off, great work! Thanks!
You are absolutely right about the whole pleasing the masses. You really only have to get that ONE person to love your piece enough to buy it. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm blown away by this 'patchwork' table, it's so beautiful. I love jigsaw puzzles, and this table would be perfect to sit down & do one with my family, because the table reminds me of one. It's stunning, one of your best pieces yet.
Gotta tell the dog story!! Not a huge fan of the look, but have mad respect for the process. I love adding bowties to my projects because it feels really good to pull it off. So to go through this process, adding all those "patches"....is really impressive. Good job!!
Always good to account for taste. Sometimes we're not gonna like how something looks, in our own work and others', doesn't necessarily mean it's not good stuff.
I have never seen the patchwork in a table like that! Looks like a lot of work but I loved the result!
Something I’ve noticed every time I watch your videos is that I always learn something new and I love it😁
Cheers from Norway
I wasn’t sure about the patchwork initially, but I think with the finish it comes together beautifully 🖤
Same! I was really skeptical, but I loved the finished table. It definitely feels high end but also something that I wouldn't be afraid to let a family around either.
I too do not have the luxury of possessing perfect wood blanks, so it has been my practice to salvage all with Inlay's and Experimental Jointery to enhance the appearance of most all of my projects. I have found that if it passes my critical eye and I am satisfied, my customers will be also. 72 years at this and still counting. Thank you for what you do, you are my incentive to keep moving on.
Patch or no patch. That desk is incredible! The patches are just subtle enough to keep you looking for more. It seems like a good way to save a slab that other people would see a fire wood.
Who cares if people don’t like it Cam! You continue to challenge yourself through this process and show real growth in your abilities as a woodworker. Let them hate, most of them can’t do what you do!
Patch, and I completely agree, Walter. I'd also point out that the rounded corners and edges help mitigate the "boxiness" of the inset repair patches. Great job, Cam.
Patch, this is the first ever video i watched by this guy and it was great
I was taught by my school teacher 40 yrs ago that patch work is absolutely fine, IF the grain is flowing in the same direction to not make it stand out. I personally would never do a patch job against the grain because of his teaching, but I do really like your work!! I'm sure that whoever buys it will enjoy the conversations it brings up as well.
This is a work of art. I was in the section of people that thought I wasn't going to like it. I turned out great. Also, I fall into the category of people who just like watching woodworkers, whether they are using hand, tools, power tools, or a combination of both. I get so many ideas and information from you and so many others. Thank you.
I may not ‘get’ the patchwork look aesthetically, but I thinks it’s cool that you tried it. I am always happy to watch you work and listen to you ramble. 🙂
Patch, I’m not a wood worker but I can’t help but admire the work and heart put into this piece, “Natures Curse” due to the patches needed for repairing left over scars
Patch! Cam, it's awesome seeing you try new things. The "subtle" humor throughout the whole video and the great tables keeps me coming back! You've inspires me to start my own black epoxy table which should be finished in a week or so. Also have my first client lined up! Keep at it brotha!!
I love your patchwork SO much, that I think you should call it the Kintsugi Table - which means “golden repair”. Although it comes from the Japanese custom of repairing broken *pottery* with gold, the general idea is that, as a result of your efforts, you’ve created a piece of art and something that is stronger and more beautiful.
Here is a great explanation of the concept (I am quoting from an NBC, Better by Today article that you can google if you want to read the entire thing): “built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient”
Patch. I’ve watched every vid on your channel, most of them multiple times so I get really excited when a new one comes out. Hands down this is the best channel on UA-cam. Thank you for everything you do Cam! There was some seriously good humor in this one! Can’t wait for that Blacktail hammer to show up in the mail!
Patch. I really loved the patchwork. Especially with the stain. Its soooo pretty.
"make something some people will hate" is really really good advice! i love watching your videos Cam, and have been a long time viewer. this table looks absolutely gorgeous, it might actually be one of my favorites from you yet! Thanks for sharing man!
i feel like you could call this the “something old, something new” table those legs have a classical feel to them and with the soft round edge it’s really lovely overall.
I love watching you work, create, brainstorm, and finish these pieces! Also, of all the woodworkers, your commentary, sarcasm, transparency is great!! Since I found your channel, I have been on a binge. Ironically, I am not even into woodworking.
Patch, definitely
Dude!!! I love the patchwork so much!
Patch or No Patch i mean like u mentioned, there’s really no such thing as perfect and i love that your table shows that everything and everyone has flaws, and in some ways it makes us specials and perhaps more beautiful! Please keep up your good work, your videos are calming and soothing, really interesting to see the hard work going on behind crafting a simple table. All love bro🤟🏼
Cam, this is one of my most favourite pieces you’ve ever made! I absolutely love it!
I loved the patches! Although I'd like to see a more patterned disign, like the patches going in a spiral or somthing. And I also think that if you mix two really different colours of wood like a really dark one and a another really bright you could end with somthing ASTONISHING. This is the first video I see of you and I'm charmed! Definitely checking up another few.
Patch... I think the patchwork looks great. You did it for the right reason which was to rid the wood of knots and voids... Great job, beautiful table...
I love the block patterns. You could make spiral patterns using them, nothing too insane, but small squares rising up into bigger ones that rotate as the pattern progresses. Like smoke rising
As a cnc operator i love seeing people work with hand tools, specially when people take their time to make something precise. It's like art to work with hand tools, and seeing peoples creativity and the mistakes they make is instructive and inspiring for me.
Patch! I love the patches and I’m surprised by that. As a woodturner, I tend to keep my pieces pretty simple - no epoxy, very few inlays, carving, or treatments. You mentioned the last table was named after Salvador Dali and I like that. This one reminds me of Picasso’s cubism, so I’d say the Picasso table would be a great name for it.
I've seen the patchwork before and I think it's unique and artistic in a simple way. I like the way you did it, and I appreciate the little bit of wisdom there. "Try making something that some people hate." Everything has a niche audience, no matter what it is, and I have experience from three wildly different industries to back that up. Keep it up, Cameron. I just wish you posted videos more frequently, you're one of my top 3 favorite subscriptions on youtube.
That humour at 15:30 gave me very lock picking lawyer april fools video humour vibes.
Patch, I dig it! As with most of my own projects in wood, it’s the finish that sets it apart. Love the work, the demonstrations, and the nano finishing. Great job!
Absolutely gorgeous, I love the final result! Magnificent wood, and you know how to make it shine! thank you
Patch! I love it! I think it might look amazing too if you switched up woods for the patches so it created more of a patchwork look. Like one wood a shade darker one the same like you did with the walnut, and one lighter. I think the three colors and different grains would look incredible. I want one for my kitchen table. But I think I liked the sharp edges. Rounding the top made the table look soft since the legs were rounded too. With patches the desk was not a soft piece of work. It needed some edges that weren’t smoothed out to match the bold square patch.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would love to see something like this with contrasting wood tones. I think it'd look great. Keep up the great work.
PATCH! I agree. I think contrasting patches would be kind of cool looking in the right setting. Maybe not the board room, but in the "Game Room" (of sorts) or a lounge for just relaxing.
I love that you answer my questions literally as I’m asking them in my mind so definitely appreciate your knowledge. I think because you work with wood so much it’s an art medium and you get to expand on possibilities vs someone seeing it as a piece for more traditional uses.
His work is great. Don't know why he spends so much time defending himself in his videos?
Hearing a number of YTers doing this and don't understand it.
Who cares what the negative nancies are saying ... unless provoking them gets more clicks and more clicks = more $$$ ... then I get might get it - don't like it, but $$ is $$$
Still love this guys work - and commentary - I just ignore the negative comments when scrolling
@@Jim-DCE I think it's just to add a little narrative to the video.
18:18 I stayed watching because you're nice to listen to and I love watching people craft stuff 😊❤
Patch :) Been watching a load of your videos lately - as I recently just discovered the channel, and just wanted to saw that I really enjoy the narration as you go through the process. Super soothing and love that you don't make it crazy high energy. So nice to work whilst the videos play - and not anticipating any jarring exclamations or shouts. Really appreciate all the content.
