Blacktail Studio actually how long do you expect to last? Would epoxy hold up to being outside in the sun most time? I’ll have to check out your blogs out. Lots to learn for me
@@isaackvasager9957 - I don't know. I just can't imagine spending what these tables cost and not keeping it "forever." The walnut and black tables seem like they might be time-proof, but I do agree that the bright blue "river tables" would start getting old to me pretty quickly. Those ones actually look borderline tacky to me from the start. But the typical blacktail studios table with black epoxy filling around walnut seem more classy than trendy to me.
@@damienwills8658 - Most epoxy is not UV stable. For instance, the manufacturers of marine epoxy will tell you that you must coat it with marine varnish or paint for exterior applications.
Joe here Cam. Yes, I would like to see a video on the placement of C channels. Another great table. For new viewers, you need to binge watch Cam’s other videos and you will see all the processes come together. This video is like a 400 level class in college and it is you ur first day. Plus I recommend buying items that you need through the links Cam provides. Just a small way to help this craftsman out. Plus, I recommend to make a “sanding glove”, I wish I would f known about this years ago. Thanks for all you do Cam, stay safe and healthy.
Dito on the placement of C channels. Can't support amazon though, a truly evil company. Wish there were more decent ways for you to earn a living than linking to that, though I understand why you do it. Thanks for the videos, and keep up the great work!
“Selling out” is often another word for a good business practice. I’m sure you’re in the biz for the love of the craft but it’s the $$ that makes a business grow and ...... feed your family. I’ll be sure to use this use this product as my projects evolve. Love your vids!
Max- I’ve been watching basically all the build videos over the past week since I subscribed and I realized that the reason is because despite being completely out of my price range I find myself thinking “I want to get one of these tables for myself.” So I’ve essentially just become a kid in a candy store through my phone for wood/epoxy tables.
I'm Michael and I watched the whole video! I think your calm and clear attitude while building this piece came through in this piece. I know a lot of people think black resin is a bit ominous, but I really liked what you did with this one, it looks fantastic and I actually think it looks regal. I also just uploaded a video I shot last year of my biggest resin table, which is small by comparison to yours, but I am very happy with how it came out! Keep up the great work and Stay Creative!
I am adicted to watching your videos. I am niw one of the ancients, but during the 70s my husband and I used to do woodworking in a very small way. In those days, of course, there were very few products available, and boy, would he have had fun these days, using all these products. Your work is amazing.
Jim here and that is a spectacular piece of craftsmanship! The more I see of walnut and epoxy tables, the more I like them...and I'm surprised this only cost 10 g's....the amount of work alone, the labor costs, was worth that! Excellent!
I really liked the video, and just when I wanted to ask about cost of materials in the comments, I checked the description - and there it is, all the info I wanted to know, and more! So well thought.
Albertine here. "Get a wife with OCD", made me laugh pretty hard! I like it to see how the tables get so smooth and shiny(ish). And I'm always amazed by the grain of the wood when it's being buffed.
Michael here. Excellent work, Cam! Just going over your past videos. I know nothing of woodwork, but your passion and your attention to detail make these videos a joy to watch! By the way, I realize it may be expensive, but have you considered a table-jack to assist you in transferring the slab to and from your truck bed, as well as move the slab between work tables. One accident will more than double the cost of a good jack, not to mention other possible injuries. Using a table jack with a few rubber roller balls or cylinders to help move the table between the table jack and the truck bed makes it relatively easy for one person to move.
That's gorgeous! Walnut is so distinctive.. it has that crazy, swoopy almost trippy grain pattern. And so hard and dense... And heavy, lol as we got to see! Excellent work.. and video!
Beautiful work ! I really enjoyed watching your progress. Re: sheets for backdrop photos. Wrinkles are always seen. Try using black velvet. Velvet will absorb light. Less chance of seeing any wrinkles. Cheers!
Don is my name & I love this table, in fact there has not been one of your tables I have not loved. I do not always comment these days because I am not sure if you ever get my comments come through to you as I have never had a reply to let me know. I love your meticulous approach to your work & the constant commentary which means we, the viewers, don't have to try & work out what you are doing without the 'why'. I also love the 'leg' construction for this table, you seem to always be looking for the right frame to sit your tops on to complement the top. Great job, don't stop doing what you do so well. Don from South Aust.
Hi Cam, I saw your video as it popped up in my recommendations. I really have to say that your wood working skills are great and you have great eye for detail. I'am a woodworker myself, mainly wooden flooring. Most of the floors I sell and make are finished with Rubio Monocoat. Just like in you I am really impressed and enthusiastic with the performance of the finish and sealing capabilities. Through my personal experience I would highly recommend using Rubio Woodprep before you apply the oil. Woodprep opens the pores of the wood and therefore the wood gets a more even and better saturation with the oil finish. As a test you can try it on a piece of scrap wood. Sand the scrap wood like would do on one of your tables, clean half of it with Woodprep and finish both halfs with the Monocoat oil. I think you would be amazed how good the result is with Woodprep. Good luck and keep up your beautiful work!
You have every right to sell out! You are a true artist. 👍 That is the most beautiful table I have ever seen and Im usually a gal that is drawn to rustic/country furniture. Sell on brother, sell on!
I am in absolute awe, that 1 man can do all of this heavy duty lifting, positioning, & yet be sssoooooo precise, to make an accomplished machinist blush. Unbelievably gorgeous table!
You are so far out of my class and I don’t have the tools, however I do have an ocd wife. I love your work and your tables. On this particular job I didn’t care for the legs but the table was so beautiful. You are a true craftsman, and that is so appreciated in today’s world. Stay safe my friend!
My name is Dan Schappell and I am from Reading Pennsylvania. I love the look of your finished product, which definitely shows your eye for detail. And I am sure that you are correct about your wife having OCD and not letting anything less than perfect leave your shop. I am quite OCD myself , and I could imagine if I were to have a wife that was also OCD What I love the most is the trick that you showed about gouging out the holes that need to be filled before filling them. That is an excellent idea, as well as quite innovative , if I might add that. And also, I must say that I like what you said about being a sellout, because I had always had the outlook and held the stance that I would only become a sell-out for something that I feel is worthy of me becoming so and being called as such.
Beautiful table, nice job. I worked a short time for a furniture maker who made wood panels and various other pieces of furniture for famous people including movie stars and the like. I realized very quickly that I wasn't cut out for this type of work. But watching him do his craft was a neat experience.
If I need a new trade I now know how to make tables as well as ball bearings, linen, candles, shoes, etc. And I only popped on youtube to listen to a song! 5 hours later!
Hi, Terry here, love your work, really love your sharing all your process! Thank you! I'm also from Oregon, over here on the Eastern side. Thanks again keep up the awesome work! Be blessed.
@@BlacktailStudio Nothing wrong with profiting from advertising quality products that you actually use in your own work that makes you money. Welcome to Capitalism everyone.
Thank you a beautiful piece of wood well done. Way back in the seventies I used to get big wire spools from PA bell and used whiskey kegs cut down to size and filled with sand for a base. Made the first one for me. It was a big one, sat 10 to 12 folks. Then several more till we found another Victorian to remodel.
These videos are Amazing, very well done and finally, someone with a voice I can listen to :) All this is way beyond my abilities but still love watching :)
Wow. really dude just wow. And it's not about the table but its about you. You are a man who is kindly sharing all of those tricks to each individual that can become a small medium business. Even Woodshops can benefit from you. You are just wow, mashallah!
@@TERRORoftheLORD Some of us have semi-detached houses and some people don't even have driveways. His workshop is bigger than my house. We're not all made of money. Or we live in countries that don't have lots of space. I do have room for my 4x4 on the drive, but only for that and the recycling/rubbish bins.
Blacktail Studio do you pour a little resin layer in first when you sink the slabs in so that everything is connected? Or do you just use the resin to fill in the gaps? You have inspired me with your videos and I would love to know more
We have been doing inserts for about 8 years in our Refined Elements live edge furniture. Seen them in tables made several decades ago. Great tip on heating up epoxy for thread inserts. We do not do a lot of epoxy work as we prefer all natural but adding the inserts does make us nervous. So thanks for that and why you do the best epoxy wood product videos!
Showed my wife instantly when I saw this. “Honey - this is what I’m building us when we get a house.” Fabulous work, man. So the slab cost $1k, but what do you estimate the total cost of materials/consumables for this build at?
@@drumandball i dont know where you guys are getting your epoxy, but if you get it from the first retailer you should not be paying more than 10 usd per kg for high quality epoxy. So even if 30kg of epoxy is in this thing you only spend 300 usd on it. Btw for large stiff structures that do not require transparency you can easily put a filler material layer (like closed honeycomb cells). It reduces strength by at max 2-3% (I=B×H^3) but saves quite a bit in cost/ weight.
@@Trikkie87 What brand of epoxy offers such a low cost? I want to know about it! I'm also not sure how dense epoxy is, but I think that 30kg would be a low estimate for this table...But I could be wrong.
Just watching from UK.Those tables you make are absolutely incredible. Don't let people put you down .As with the talking to much.Your educating people with you knowledge.Dont injure you back lifting those slabs off wood.👍👊
Brian! As far as pure aesthetics go, do you prefer a table like this, where a live edge slab is made rectangular with epoxy and other pieces of wood, or a table where it's only the live edge slab left in its natural shape? I think I prefer the latter. They're very rustic looking and remind me of a lake house.
@@sendnudles2570 did you not just read about the part where any person who isnt an idiot could make this table? And where the materials are literally at most 2k? He isnt Van Gogh bro. Just some guy price gouging in his garage because there's no competition in a narrow market.
Beautiful table. Photographer here: The wrinkles in the back drop are hard to hide when shooting a similar colour subject. Even when you raise the black levels to show the legs more, that will still show more wrinkles in the sheet. The only thing you can do is pull the material tightly to the edges to limit wrinkles and you can try using a back light on the legs to make them pop more from the black back drop. Hope that helps! :) Love your videos and your dedication to sharing free knowledge!
Beautiful! Really like the finish too. Only flaw I could see was table isn’t in my kitchen. Although my guess is your tables don’t end up in tiny kitchens. Watching you cross cut the bottom edge detail made me cringe. No need to clamp on piece of wood to eliminate tear out at end of cut?
How do you find clients? I have the know how and the shop to build these tables but I haven’t figured out how to find the clients. Any info would be awesome! Thanks!
Zach McBournie There are at least a half dozen individuals or small companies around my city who post pictures of the work they have done on Facebook Marketplace. Usually, the posted price is 200. 😉 Naturally, I click because it is a beautiful table, and I don’t need one, but for 200 I would buy it LOL. But of course in the description, they go on to say that they make tables and they are custom made to the specifications of the customer. Starting out like 200 for like the cutting board and then obviously becoming more expensive for larger projects. I’m guessing that would probably generate some customers. And then after you have some customers, word-of-mouth helps. Live edge or epoxy table is a great conversation piece.
Matthew: This is so awesome. Been wanting to do the charred wood table myself but I think I am still not capable of doing so. Just wondering what your thoughts on my new idea. MDF base, seal it with sanding sealer then have a resin pour all over it. I've seen people doing it as a portrait but I think it will be gorgeous as a table. Any ideas who I should do the sides?
Charred wood tables look nice but only with a soft wood like wite pine and such. Dont ever do it to walnut it looks horrible and you are baisicly ruining the wood. Also would not recommend epoxy and mdf. Mdf is what ikea uses for there funeture to keep it cheap. it does not hold up well long term. Atleast do pine or even ply wood if you are trying to keep the cost down while keeping durability. Just my thoughts.
"I'm a sell out that's all I ever wanted to be..." That's an instant thumbs up. Ok on to the rest of the video.

"Get a wife with OCD..." I can't afford that... LOL
Mine pays her own way.
Blacktail Studio do you pour a little resin layer in first when you sink the slabs in so that everything is connected? Or do you just use the resin to fill in the gaps? You have inspired me with your videos and I would love to know more
KL here, luv your responses to the trolls, always entertaining and witty
OCD Wifey comment had me laughing out loud! Thanks for the vid.
Oh thanks al!
I'm sorry. Who can be offered the wooden canvases shown above? I can find a lot of them.
1:28 Welcome to the club.
11:40 the joke made my day. 😂😂
We have been doing inserts for about 8 years in our Refined Elements live edge furniture. Seen them in tables made several decades ago. Great tip on heating up epoxy for thread inserts. We do not do a lot of epoxy work as we prefer all natural but adding the inserts does make us nervous. So thanks for that and why you do the best epoxy wood product videos!
Thanks!
"Wife with OCD" ...LOL
My bro.
Rachel-Literally laughed out loud! Funny!!
I hope he got dinner that night
Wow,, mind blowing.
I prefer this gloss, more is just distracting and makes the wood less visible
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful job. I think with the workmanship and detail you put into your tables they are worth every dime of what you charge for them.
Showed my wife instantly when I saw this. “Honey - this is what I’m building us when we get a house.” Fabulous work, man. So the slab cost $1k, but what do you estimate the total cost of materials/consumables for this build at?
$3500 total cost probably
The epoxy will getchya. And so will the base.
Lol
@@drumandball i dont know where you guys are getting your epoxy, but if you get it from the first retailer you should not be paying more than 10 usd per kg for high quality epoxy. So even if 30kg of epoxy is in this thing you only spend 300 usd on it.
Btw for large stiff structures that do not require transparency you can easily put a filler material layer (like closed honeycomb cells). It reduces strength by at max 2-3% (I=B×H^3) but saves quite a bit in cost/ weight.
@@Trikkie87 What brand of epoxy offers such a low cost? I want to know about it! I'm also not sure how dense epoxy is, but I think that 30kg would be a low estimate for this table...But I could be wrong.
Mike here Cam, all the way👀 Gotta repeat what's already been said "get yourself a wife with O.C.D." 😮 I love watching your vids. 🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷
Cheers mike!
"I am definitely a sell out" lol the laugh this gave me
I like the way you shook off being crushed by the table, a laugh will go a long way towards healing and regaining your dignity. Cheers! Great video.
Looks amazing. I just want to rub my hands all over it, to feel the smoothness.
So smooth!
I so badly want to swing by and help! Lmfao
11:38 “get yourself a wife with ocd” 😂
Highly recommend
Haha got one of those!!!
Just watching from UK.Those tables you make are absolutely incredible. Don't let people put you down .As with the talking to much.Your educating people with you knowledge.Dont injure you back lifting those slabs off wood.👍👊
Tough job being such a big table, at least you walked off the pain when it came down on ya :-)
Right??
Xzendor7: Your work is absolutely stunning.
Thanks!!
Brian! As far as pure aesthetics go, do you prefer a table like this, where a live edge slab is made rectangular with epoxy and other pieces of wood, or a table where it's only the live edge slab left in its natural shape?
I think I prefer the latter. They're very rustic looking and remind me of a lake house.
Man, I’d love a lake house
Ngl the slab cleanup/bark removal is my favorite part of your videos. It's so satisfying
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Stodoys. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
this makes me wish i improved my wood working skills

$10K for a table man you better be eating gold on it 🤣🤣
probably $2k of materials and 50 hours of work, its not unreasonable
Lol what? When did anyone deserve to be paid 160$ an hour for having tools and *moderate* levels of skill?
@@Inumuro when people decide to pay for it?
idk man, a hand made table from a recognized table maker seems pretty worthy of the 10k price
@@sendnudles2570 did you not just read about the part where any person who isnt an idiot could make this table? And where the materials are literally at most 2k? He isnt Van Gogh bro. Just some guy price gouging in his garage because there's no competition in a narrow market.
Beautiful table. Photographer here: The wrinkles in the back drop are hard to hide when shooting a similar colour subject. Even when you raise the black levels to show the legs more, that will still show more wrinkles in the sheet. The only thing you can do is pull the material tightly to the edges to limit wrinkles and you can try using a back light on the legs to make them pop more from the black back drop. Hope that helps! :) Love your videos and your dedication to sharing free knowledge!
Of course there are many Photoshop techniques you can use too but it's always easier to fix/limit the problem during shooting instead of in editing :)
Thanks Shane!
Any time! Keep up the awesome work
Beautiful!
Really like the finish too.
Only flaw I could see was table isn’t in my kitchen. Although my guess is your tables don’t end up in tiny kitchens.
Watching you cross cut the bottom edge detail made me cringe. No need to clamp on piece of wood to eliminate tear out at end of cut?
He used tape for it.
After expenses and knowing the job hours.. A little over $96/ hour for the build... Pretty nice
I try!
the people that buy these most likely make 500 a hour, so even if they had the skill and they dont, it still a good deal for them.
How do you find clients? I have the know how and the shop to build these tables but I haven’t figured out how to find the clients. Any info would be awesome! Thanks!
Social media helps!
Zach McBournie There are at least a half dozen individuals or small companies around my city who post pictures of the work they have done on Facebook Marketplace. Usually, the posted price is 200. 😉 Naturally, I click because it is a beautiful table, and I don’t need one, but for 200 I would buy it LOL. But of course in the description, they go on to say that they make tables and they are custom made to the specifications of the customer. Starting out like 200 for like the cutting board and then obviously becoming more expensive for larger projects. I’m guessing that would probably generate some customers. And then after you have some customers, word-of-mouth helps. Live edge or epoxy table is a great conversation piece.
Astoundingly gorgeous! I'm amazed at my laziness, but I really enjoyed watching you work your magic on this one of a kind creation.
Ha! Thanks man
"get a wife with OCD"
that sounds too expensive.
Oh, you want one that’s works
not always, I have one and she earns way more than me
The good ones are expensive to get, they pay their own way once you have them.
My wife would be good one for this then!
A wife with OCD really doesn't cost that much money trust me. It's the husband with ADHD is the problem
Matthew:
This is so awesome. Been wanting to do the charred wood table myself but I think I am still not capable of doing so.
Just wondering what your thoughts on my new idea. MDF base, seal it with sanding sealer then have a resin pour all over it. I've seen people doing it as a portrait but I think it will be gorgeous as a table. Any ideas who I should do the sides?
Oh man, not sure!
Charred wood tables look nice but only with a soft wood like wite pine and such. Dont ever do it to walnut it looks horrible and you are baisicly ruining the wood. Also would not recommend epoxy and mdf. Mdf is what ikea uses for there funeture to keep it cheap. it does not hold up well long term. Atleast do pine or even ply wood if you are trying to keep the cost down while keeping durability. Just my thoughts.
You could also do test pieces so you aren't using a lot of expensive materials. This is what scrap wood is for, so I've been told.

01:22 it's better for your back if you work on a table ... oh wait :))
Lehman here, I love your work. I have not made an apoxy table but am looking to start. I love your work.
