@@BlacktailStudio At almost 2.7 Million subs....you're getting noticed. Keep up the great work. And never stop calling out those who complain. I look forward to the end of your videos as much as Iike the content.
This has to be one of the most genuine woodworking channels. No clickbait thumbnails or titles, honest and funny commentary, and also great woodworking content.
Как же мне в жизни не хватало таких энергичных людей, как вы, которые знакомятся по-старинке, делают ссылки на фильмы, не боятся ошибиться, и идут всегда вперёд с позитивом. Спасибо за ваши прекрасные работы и золотые руки! Смотрю всегда с интересом.
Your original denim desk 100% gave me that feeling of " wow! I've never seen anything like that and I want that in my house" that was definitely your Holy Grail item for me.
I know he's been here a long time, but Scott is easily the best addition to this channel. His insights make you a better creator and I love his commentary.
I am ALWAYS entertained by your voice-overs. In fact, there are usually 2-4 instances where I burst into laughter (eg: heating colour sticks and assuming you won’t singe your finger). Yes, I love your videos!! ❤❤
Guitar builder here! When we're doing the multi coloring ("Bursts" as they're called) it's a lot easier to start with the darkest color. That way you can sand back the areas where lighter colors will go until you get the level of transparency you want. You can then put the next lightest color across the WHOLE piece, which will give you a much more consistent color gradient. This way, you don't really have to worry about blending the different layers as you had to here (the blending comes from the sanding step). Rinse and repeat for subsequent layers going from darkest to lightest.
@@AtotehZ He's not painting here he's dyeing. Dye is transparent so you can see previous layers. For paint you usually just spray on flood coats similar to how automotive guys do it.
As an artist, who's determined to lose a finger by picking up woodworking. That's probably the best advice I could accidentally come across. Thank you, your wisdom should be documented for future generations... They're gonna need all the help they can get.
HAHAHA! The burn from the fill stick was hilarious. I love the interactions between Cam and Scott almost as much as the beautiful pieces that come out of Blacktail
For what it's worth - I think your voice overs are freaking awesome! They are the main reason I watch your videos start to finish without even skipping once. And......OMG - I haven't seen anything like that table and I really want it in my house!!!
I clicked the wrong icon and ended up on this channel a few years ago, and I'm hooked. Not only do you build amazing stuff, but the entertainment, humor and irony is 100 of 100.
The voice over is at least 50% of the quality of your video. Good humor and humility, it’s awesome. And I would love to have a desk like that. And that little round blue table is amazing. Keep making video I’ll keep watching here in France.
Absolutely stunning. As an amature workworker and furniture maker for decades I am always blown away by your creativity. Don't ever think you aren't creative because you are. I have started many projects with just a subtle vision and ended pretty close to my want. Your use of colour in replicating the master guitars of the past is fantastic. Too bad I missed entering your contest but I will certainly keep an eye on your channel, very inspiring. And thanks much for getting so good at YT`ing
As a south african living in the UK. This table automatically made me think of the african sunsets I miss so much. I would love to have this table in my home office. This table is a masterpiece. You are so talented.. 😊
Yes I would put this table in my house! My 22 year old grandson is a gamer and I would love to win this for him. He lives here with me and his dad. He doesn't have a room of his own, and our living room is his bedroom. I'm disabled and I spent last year in the hospital more than I did at home. My health is failing and I would love to do something for him before I pass away. I can't afford to do anything great and I have watched quite a few of your videos and I really love your work. I love the banter between you and Scott. I'd rather hear you talk about what you are doing than just watch someone make things with no audio. It shows that you have a personality and are a great guy. This table is so beautiful and I have never seen anything like it. Thank you for sharing and letting me share with you ☺️❤ Peace and Blessings to you and your family.❤
Oh my goodness Catherine I’m so so sorry to hear about your health. I will be praying for you. Do you know Jesus as your personal savior? Once we die we either go to Heaven or hell and Christ loves us so much that he died for our sins so we could be saved. The Bible says if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead 3 days later and is Lord we will be saved. Believe Christ paid for your sins personally and when you stand before God the Father you will be justified because of the blood of Christ. None of us could ever earn heaven on our own. We all deserve hell, but Christs offers us the gift of eternal life!
@@Zacharythorsen I do believe in Jesus Christ and that He died for our sins and through Jesus is the only way to see Heaven. Thank you for your prayers. May God bless you and your family as well 🙏❤️🩹
Pretty much any and every project I've seen Blacktail Studio do has either 1. Left me speechless... or 2. Left me saying "Damn... I really wish I could afford to buy one of his pieces..." You make beautiful, Absolutely gorgeous works of art Cam...
I think it is very neat that you can take a piece of nature and add to it and end up with such a beautiful piece of art. I know the perfect place for it.
Likewise. I would love to have this piece but it would be wasted in my house where my current IKEA desk languishes in an unseen corner. I would have to buy a new house with an office off the entryway so I could show off the desk to everyone.
Dude, sometimes you criticise your work like it isnt impressive but as a carpenter/builder i think your work is absolutely unreal. the way you come up with things and make them happen is such an inspiring way to go about things, big ups to you man.
as a childcare provider i have had many kindergarteners come through my door and i can honestly say i would happily hang that piece of art on my fridge any day. even the testers would make great coasters or sandwich boards...thanks for sharing your process, i always enjoy.
This is definitely one of the projects that was unique and most people would love in their house. The guitar theme was also another awesome way to touch another community.
Your strength is not that you always know what you are doing. It's that you are not afraid to try and have the confidence that you can fix/change whatever you dont like. I love your work, the commentary, the education and most of all, your sense of humor.... Keep it up. I don't even do wood working and you are one of my favorite channels
This would make a great media production desk. (Concept artist, Music producer, Streamer, Etc.) The color really pops on camera and I'm sure it's even better in person.
Cam, your narrative is second to none, as is your humour and your selfdeprecation and your honesty. I'm a software engineer and I could rewrite your narrative to fit quite a few of my projects.
Very nice piece! Just so you know, I’ll never get tired of watching the walnut and black epoxy tables. Your walnut and brass desk is still my favorite piece.
Beautiful beautiful table. I have a 4’ x 8’ table that my late husband made in high school. You’ve given me inspiration to create something more useable. Bill would have loved your channel. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Usually I don’t like the pieces you build. I’m not a fan of epoxy tables. But I always enjoy watching you building them - the expertise, the craftsmanship, the elaborate finishing process and how you cope with problems and mistakes. There is an exception to every rule: Being a hobby woodworker and a guitarist I‘d really love to have this specific table in my home office.
I'm digging your creative process that includes collaborating with your buddies. It's no small thing finding the right people who are okay about being really honest with you. Saves you time, money and energy. Speaking of honesty, Hell yeah, this desk is beautiful. Loving the graduated flame effect. For anyone winning this desk, it'll surely brighten their day and their workspace and, help them stay passionate about whatever work they do. Well done, Cam! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My husband is a musician and plays bass, and many other instruments. This table would be a great piece for him. Also, I can appreciate your denim table top. I’m dealing with breast cancer right now and I would love to have that table top as my side table for my crochet projects. You are absolutely a true artist! My husband is so much like you. He has created lots of things for me due to being disabled for the last 20 years. Have a great day and thank you for being you!
@blacktailStudio I do love this. Beside my desk I am having my guitar hanging on the wall, this table would make my room complete. The form is well-thought-out, the colors are great, and I love that you let us follow you along. Putting a base coat color on it really does the trick. Good luck with your design journey you are taking. For me, looking at things and thinking how I would improve those, or combine forms and shapes, is helping me a lot. Also, I love to play around with the golden ration, to make things look nice. Take your reference length, and multiply it by 1,618 to get another length, for me, it's an easy way to make designs shine.
Cam's Honesty in his projects are just seriously on point. Love the way he just states it like it is and keep pushing through no matter how the result turns out. It is this method of learning knowledge that takes a professional to the next level.
I’m from England and I watch one of these videos every night before bed. Every single piece I’ve ever seen you make I would definitely have in my home, the attention to detail and the craftsmanship in each piece is awesome. I realise it’s a long shot but I would be ecstatic if you chose me to give that table a home for life 🫡🙌🏽🙌🏽✊🏼
As a guitar player, I appreciate the color, the shape, the finish... the belly cut is a very nice touch. This desk is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, and I would absolutely put it in my house!!
I'm a photographic artist, and I am in love with this design. I think you are more of an artist than you give yourself credit for. When I watch your videos I see art being created. The way you approach is only further evidence of that. Personally, I can see myself sitting at it, editing images, and it would just brighten my mood to do my own work. SOOOOOO. I love it. I want it! I can definitely see it in my home. I can go one step further and say that this desk speaks to me.
A truly amazing build again. Sitting here watching this with my wife and she got so excited. The hint she dropped of that is an awesome colour idea and that would look good in our home, I have to agree with her.
I'm a truck driver, and yes I would put this in my home. I love the colors of that dragons breath. The stiale of the top is very functional. The standup sit leg system works well also . Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
I watched this with my husband and I’ve gotta say that I love that table top! It’s gorgeous and I personally would love it for my home office! Beautifully done 🎉
I lost my Dad last week and had shown him a couple of your videos while he was in the hospital. He thought you were hilarious with your self-deprecating sense of humor and was genuinely impressed with the projects he saw. Thanks for that, Cam.
I am so sorry for your loss, yet glad that you had a relationship with your father. I just want to say that I just prayed for you, and thank you for sharing this, too.
You are most definitely an artist and not a scam artist! Artists do not have to be able to draw. The care, attention to detail, preparation and innovation in the way you apply colour is awesome.
Great job of adding, removing, adjusting, and eventually blending the colors. The piece flows from one color to the next, which is the hallmark of a fade job that's well done.
I am a guitarist with over 30 years of playing and I also play PRS guitars. This desk speaks to me on so many levels. I would proudly have this in my house. Quite frankly this would be my dream desk. You absolutely nailed this. Great job as always.
Honestly, i think this is my favorite piece I've ever seen you make...we made cars in wood shop when I was in high school. While everyone else had a natural wood look I painted mine a fire red and black... everyone hated it but I loved it. It's a beautiful desk
One minute into the video and I really feel the need to thank you for appreciating the challenge and complexity of "simple" creative tasks like coming up with a shape.
Always interesting Cam! As a person who built guitars decades ago and has done some woodworking I appreciate what you do and how you keep the viewer captivated. Keep them coming and I will be coming back. Thanks!
Im shocked anyone gives negative feedback on your projects. The stuff you create is just insanely gorgeous. This table is probably my favorite table to date. Looks incredible.
you come up with some of the most interesting pieces. I am always impressed by the lengths you go to to make sure all the imperfections are filled in so that there is a completely smooth surface. I enjoy all your videos and hope to one day have a piece from you in my home. it would be my pride and joy. keep up the A-MAZING work.
I’ve been watching you for a while. I can absolutely say that 99% of your pieces I would completely put in my home! Most are stunning! The fact that you are so incredibly meticulous with making them look flawless is awesome. I hope the new owner truly appreciates all your hard work.
I don’t normally make comments on your videos. Your content is really great for me and helps me focus my mind on returning to my own art. I prefer to build a room around a piece of art instead of finding art for a room and your tables are functional art. As I get older I’m downsizing and making sure every piece I keep brings joy. Watching your process brings joy. Especially your ‘think about’ pieces. Helps me remember to keep pushing when my pieces go thru the ‘ugly’ phases. Thanks for making my life better.
"Sometimes you just can't improve on what nature did perfectly." Cam, I'm blushing! You're too kind, but honestly I'm here to watch some woodworking just like everyone else. 🙏
With this desk it's like Cam peered into my head, worked out the absolute perfect desk for me and then built it. I have of course entered the competition and now fingers crossed. Cam, you truly are an artist, a designer and an inspiration for someone like me who has a tiny workshop and bangs bits of furniture together. Keep it up.
The great thing about watching Cam work is just watching him work. He turns out great projects, some better then other, but they all look great in their own right. The second thing.. I love how dry you are with your humor. My god man. Never change. I dig when you and Scott are going back and forth. You all seem to feed off each other well. IDK who is going to win this table but my house would wear that with pride.
EVERYTHING I've watched so far I think is AMAZING and I would LOVE any of it in my home!! I would change my home to fit any of the things you have made! I absolutely am in awe of people who have as much talent as you do! And, these epoxy tables are awe inspiring! 💚💙💜
As a guitarist, I've always loved the "fade" style colours, so I loved that you took inspiration from PRS in a previous video and now you've done a "sunburst" style finish too! I would absolutely love this desk for my room: curved desks are my preference, since most chairs spin these days. One of my favourite guitars is the Music Man Cutlass JR 7 - signature model to Jason Richardson and it has a natural buckeye burl finish with a black burst on the edges, which is almost exactly what you said about dark edge guitar finishes! (Fun fact, he actually swapped the guitar he got with a customer's, since he preferred the burl on theirs!) In all honesty though, I would have most of your pieces if I had the space or money. I never fully appreciated a good, well-made table before I discovered your channel! And showing the voiceover takes at the end gives insight to the hidden work that goes into your videos that most people never even consider!
I just returned from Hawaii and almost spent a lot of money on a large picture of molten lava of one of the volcanos there. This is an awesome desk that looks like lava. I would love to have this in my home. Thanks for the honesty in your videos.
Favourite youtube chanel by a mile! No matter where I am or what I'm doing if I see a blacktail studio vidoe its First priority.. Man even the arguments I got in with people that don't respect my blacktail studio time! So frustrating 😤😂 As always! Breathtaking peice!!!!
I am a 36 year old mom of 5 girls and I LOVE this channel. There is just something about the amazing work and humor added with your humility that I admire so much! I know nothing about woodworking, but I'm always quick to hit the like button. Thank you for what you do!!!!
As a kindergarten teacher of 4-7 year olds in Thailand. I see designs and colours like this on a daily basis. Beautiful though and would have this in my house.
This is a desk that I would love to give my daughter. Orange is her favorite color. My Son-in-law and daughter have started a church in a small community. Everything is a shoestring budget. This would give her a place in their study to organize all of the youth group happenings. Thanks, Cam, for all of your inspiration and beautiful step by step on how you achieve all of your beautiful work. And thanks, Scott, for the comical reality checks
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention" - James Thurber I have to admit this is my favorite piece of all the tables you have build, use this design philosophy going forward cause its working. I dont do compliments but this one deserves it "OH MY GOD I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I WOULD LOVE IT IN MY HOUSE" - Cam Anderson
Transitioning from a channel dedicated to teaching to a channel dedicated to entertainment was definitely a good move. Your dry sense of humor is at least 43% of the reason I watch all of your videos all the way through.

I screamed "at least hold it with some pliers" at the screen.
I laughed a bit and winced a touch as well. I would have put a 2-3 inch wood screw in that wax stub to give myself some relief and not get burned.
There are extensions for charcoal or wax crayons in art supplies. Don't know if the radius will fit, but yeah better then burning your fingers off 🤗🤣

Love that Cam casually dyes a beautiful pattern Into the wood, gets second thoughts, completely obliterates it, and repeats about 15 times.
Absolutely love that you aren't just a woodworker, but also an artist and likes to try new stuff!
I think it is very neat that you can take a piece of nature and add to it and end up with such a beautiful piece of art. I know the perfect place for it.

Beautiful beautiful table. I have a 4’ x 8’ table that my late husband made in high school. You’ve given me inspiration to create something more useable. Bill would have loved your channel. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks so much!
Usually I don’t like the pieces you build. I’m not a fan of epoxy tables. But I always enjoy watching you building them - the expertise, the craftsmanship, the elaborate finishing process and how you cope with problems and mistakes.
There is an exception to every rule: Being a hobby woodworker and a guitarist I‘d really love to have this specific table in my home office.
Excellent "Silence of the Lambs" depiction. No explanation needed!
As always, stunning work.
I love how these woodworking youtubers are friends and promote each other.
I will love to have that in my house!!!! Talks about loves, passion, anger and perseverance!
Accidentally making one of the coolest looking desks ever. I would appreciate a desk that looks like that.
I'm digging your creative process that includes collaborating with your buddies. It's no small thing finding the right people who are okay about being really honest with you. Saves you time, money and energy. Speaking of honesty, Hell yeah, this desk is beautiful. Loving the graduated flame effect. For anyone winning this desk, it'll surely brighten their day and their workspace and, help them stay passionate about whatever work they do. Well done, Cam! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My husband is a musician and plays bass, and many other instruments. This table would be a great piece for him. Also, I can appreciate your denim table top. I’m dealing with breast cancer right now and I would love to have that table top as my side table for my crochet projects. You are absolutely a true artist! My husband is so much like you. He has created lots of things for me due to being disabled for the last 20 years. Have a great day and thank you for being you!
@blacktailStudio I do love this. Beside my desk I am having my guitar hanging on the wall, this table would make my room complete.
The form is well-thought-out, the colors are great, and I love that you let us follow you along. Putting a base coat color on it really does the trick.
Good luck with your design journey you are taking. For me, looking at things and thinking how I would improve those, or combine forms and shapes, is helping me a lot. Also, I love to play around with the golden ration, to make things look nice. Take your reference length, and multiply it by 1,618 to get another length, for me, it's an easy way to make designs shine.
Cam's Honesty in his projects are just seriously on point. Love the way he just states it like it is and keep pushing through no matter how the result turns out. It is this method of learning knowledge that takes a professional to the next level.
I’m from England and I watch one of these videos every night before bed. Every single piece I’ve ever seen you make I would definitely have in my home, the attention to detail and the craftsmanship in each piece is awesome.
I realise it’s a long shot but I would be ecstatic if you chose me to give that table a home for life 🫡🙌🏽🙌🏽✊🏼
As a guitar player, I appreciate the color, the shape, the finish... the belly cut is a very nice touch. This desk is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, and I would absolutely put it in my house!!
there are so many people who would love this. I'm one of them!
I'm a photographic artist, and I am in love with this design. I think you are more of an artist than you give yourself credit for. When I watch your videos I see art being created. The way you approach is only further evidence of that. Personally, I can see myself sitting at it, editing images, and it would just brighten my mood to do my own work. SOOOOOO. I love it. I want it! I can definitely see it in my home. I can go one step further and say that this desk speaks to me.
Agreed
A truly amazing build again. Sitting here watching this with my wife and she got so excited. The hint she dropped of that is an awesome colour idea and that would look good in our home, I have to agree with her.
I'm a truck driver, and yes I would put this in my home. I love the colors of that dragons breath. The stiale of the top is very functional. The standup sit leg system works well also . Great job.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
That table has my head spinning out of control. I love it like crazy. Bravo Sir.
I watched this with my husband and I’ve gotta say that I love that table top! It’s gorgeous and I personally would love it for my home office! Beautifully done 🎉
I lost my Dad last week and had shown him a couple of your videos while he was in the hospital. He thought you were hilarious with your self-deprecating sense of humor and was genuinely impressed with the projects he saw.
Thanks for that, Cam.
I am so sorry for your loss, yet glad that you had a relationship with your father. I just want to say that I just prayed for you, and thank you for sharing this, too.
Good share my man. Sorry for your loss. Thats great u got to be there with him towards the end.
Dang man, so sorry to hear that. Thank you for saying that though.
Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing your experience
Rest in Peace to your Pops. Feel their love and stay strong.
That looks SO awesome!
Though I do have to disagree...Purple is an amazingly beautiful colour.
The state of Louisiana agrees
I discover your channel today with my family and we're delighted with your work. Keep doing it. Greetings from La Paz, Bolivia.
My wife would absolutely love that as a stand desk for work. Holy crap that’s gorgeous! Outstanding work yet again sir.
You are most definitely an artist and not a scam artist! Artists do not have to be able to draw. The care, attention to detail, preparation and innovation in the way you apply colour is awesome.
Great job of adding, removing, adjusting, and eventually blending the colors. The piece flows from one color to the next, which is the hallmark of a fade job that's well done.
This desk is amazing! I'd love it in my office!!
I am a guitarist with over 30 years of playing and I also play PRS guitars. This desk speaks to me on so many levels. I would proudly have this in my house. Quite frankly this would be my dream desk. You absolutely nailed this. Great job as always.
Nice table! It's refreshing that you're not shy to admit when you're figuring stuff out as you go.
I love your sense of humor! Dry and self-deprecating. My kind of humor!
I am a old school gamer and I would love to have this in my house. It is something I would drag visitors to show off. Great work
Honestly, i think this is my favorite piece I've ever seen you make...we made cars in wood shop when I was in high school. While everyone else had a natural wood look I painted mine a fire red and black... everyone hated it but I loved it. It's a beautiful desk
One minute into the video and I really feel the need to thank you for appreciating the challenge and complexity of "simple" creative tasks like coming up with a shape.
expectacular...definitivamente si la colocaria...en mi casa
Always interesting Cam! As a person who built guitars decades ago and has done some woodworking I appreciate what you do and how you keep the viewer captivated. Keep them coming and I will be coming back. Thanks!
The detail of carving the kind of belly cut to me really elevated the piece. Can’t wait to win this!
Im shocked anyone gives negative feedback on your projects. The stuff you create is just insanely gorgeous. This table is probably my favorite table to date. Looks incredible.
Absolutely love it xx
you come up with some of the most interesting pieces. I am always impressed by the lengths you go to to make sure all the imperfections are filled in so that there is a completely smooth surface. I enjoy all your videos and hope to one day have a piece from you in my home. it would be my pride and joy. keep up the A-MAZING work.
I’ve been watching you for a while. I can absolutely say that 99% of your pieces I would completely put in my home! Most are stunning! The fact that you are so incredibly meticulous with making them look flawless is awesome. I hope the new owner truly appreciates all your hard work.
I don’t normally make comments on your videos. Your content is really great for me and helps me focus my mind on returning to my own art. I prefer to build a room around a piece of art instead of finding art for a room and your tables are functional art.
As I get older I’m downsizing and making sure every piece I keep brings joy.
Watching your process brings joy. Especially your ‘think about’ pieces. Helps me remember to keep pushing when my pieces go thru the ‘ugly’ phases.
Thanks for making my life better.
I love the guitar thematics and the color scheme fits it perfectly 10/10 would use it as a daily driver desk
The colors on it are beautiful. You did really good with the transitions of the colors
Man, the end result of this looks incredible. It all really came together with the last few layers of the orange dye.
"Sometimes you just can't improve on what nature did perfectly."
Cam, I'm blushing! You're too kind, but honestly I'm here to watch some woodworking just like everyone else. 🙏
Incredible! As a firefighter, I can tell you that the blending of those particular colors truly looks like fire! Well done!!
Everything you went through was worth it ! Coloration is simply stu ning. I can. see this in a modern house as a focal point. It's a focal point.
With this desk it's like Cam peered into my head, worked out the absolute perfect desk for me and then built it. I have of course entered the competition and now fingers crossed.
Cam, you truly are an artist, a designer and an inspiration for someone like me who has a tiny workshop and bangs bits of furniture together. Keep it up.
The great thing about watching Cam work is just watching him work. He turns out great projects, some better then other, but they all look great in their own right.
The second thing.. I love how dry you are with your humor. My god man. Never change. I dig when you and Scott are going back and forth. You all seem to feed off each other well. IDK who is going to win this table but my house would wear that with pride.
You’re more of a designer than you give yourself credit for. That tummy cut from a guitar was genius!!! Amazing colors also.
EVERYTHING I've watched so far I think is AMAZING and I would LOVE any of it in my home!! I would change my home to fit any of the things you have made! I absolutely am in awe of people who have as much talent as you do! And, these epoxy tables are awe inspiring! 💚💙💜
I have NO room in my house, but would MAKE room for this table! Great job!
As a guitarist, I've always loved the "fade" style colours, so I loved that you took inspiration from PRS in a previous video and now you've done a "sunburst" style finish too!
I would absolutely love this desk for my room: curved desks are my preference, since most chairs spin these days. One of my favourite guitars is the Music Man Cutlass JR 7 - signature model to Jason Richardson and it has a natural buckeye burl finish with a black burst on the edges, which is almost exactly what you said about dark edge guitar finishes! (Fun fact, he actually swapped the guitar he got with a customer's, since he preferred the burl on theirs!)
In all honesty though, I would have most of your pieces if I had the space or money. I never fully appreciated a good, well-made table before I discovered your channel! And showing the voiceover takes at the end gives insight to the hidden work that goes into your videos that most people never even consider!
My personal favorite design I've seen, great job on it!
I LOVE! this color scheme! It's a beautiful desk. I would be proud to have this in my home!!!
I just returned from Hawaii and almost spent a lot of money on a large picture of molten lava of one of the volcanos there. This is an awesome desk that looks like lava. I would love to have this in my home. Thanks for the honesty in your videos.
If nobody else would take it into their house, I will gladly take it. I freaking love it!
Favourite youtube chanel by a mile! No matter where I am or what I'm doing if I see a blacktail studio vidoe its First priority.. Man even the arguments I got in with people that don't respect my blacktail studio time! So frustrating 😤😂
As always! Breathtaking peice!!!!
this +1
☝️what he says
Same! I had a pretty exhausting day (European here) but seeing the video pop up on my feed completely made up for it. ❤
You are blessed to have a friend who gives honest feedback.
Cam & Scott’s chemistry as a duo gets better and better.
I am a 36 year old mom of 5 girls and I LOVE this channel. There is just something about the amazing work and humor added with your humility that I admire so much! I know nothing about woodworking, but I'm always quick to hit the like button. Thank you for what you do!!!!
Absolutely agree. I just love the honest cander and dry humour.
As a kindergarten teacher of 4-7 year olds in Thailand. I see designs and colours like this on a daily basis. Beautiful though and would have this in my house.
Cam, this table is freaking awesome! Love it! I would totally put this in my house!
This is a desk that I would love to give my daughter. Orange is her favorite color. My Son-in-law and daughter have started a church in a small community. Everything is a shoestring budget. This would give her a place in their study to organize all of the youth group happenings. Thanks, Cam, for all of your inspiration and beautiful step by step on how you achieve all of your beautiful work. And thanks, Scott, for the comical reality checks

I have to admit this is my favorite piece of all the tables you have build, use this design philosophy going forward cause its working.
I dont do compliments but this one deserves it

That is the most awesome desk I've ever seen. Would love to have a beautiful piece like that in my home.
Transitioning from a channel dedicated to teaching to a channel dedicated to entertainment was definitely a good move. Your dry sense of humor is at least 43% of the reason I watch all of your videos all the way through.
