    This extending dining table was one of the toughest woodworking projects I've ever taken on. I partnered with Nikon to make this video on the Nikon Z 6II which, as you can see, seriously upped my video quality. In the end, I made an extendable walnut dining table that goes from 108" (275cm) to 140" (355cm) with two continuous grain (mostly) leaf extensions to make it a totally functional expanding table. When not in use there is no visible hardware, screws, or brackets that get in the way of daily use. The wood I used is locally salvaged black walnut. I used two sequential slabs, also referred to as a bookmatch. Bookmatched tables form a symmetrical, mirror image of each other and are my favorite style of table. You could take everything applied to this table and use it with your own DIY live edge table project. Whether it was a bookmatched live edge table or a single slab natural edge table, this continuous grain leaf extension would work. #Sponsored

      Jordan Bock I totally agree. Great projects and loving the table Cam. Will you make chairs or benches to go with ? I am appalled by the price of raw wood. I am a fan of oddly shaped off cuts which can include the bark like used to be found in old type woodyards which always had a huge heap of pieces which were inexpensive which you could trample over and move stuff around to find what you wanted. The old guy who owned it a mine of info about types of wood and what was best for the thing you were making. We lose expertise and knowledge every day sadly. We need your channel badly - a bit of a poem ! 🤗 🦩

It's the only thing I learned in high school that I still use on a regular basis.

    Cam, 20-30 minutes is great but I don’t know where too long is because you still haven’t bored me yet. I most admire your willingness to take on tasks that require new skills and/or have a serious chance of disaster. I don’t er want to see the disaster, but as someone who takes half an hour to make a box joint jig because I hate screwing up I can honestly say you are an inspiration.

    You are like a project therapist for me because you humbly point out any mistakes, and you do a talk-through of any challenges or obstacles you overcome. This reminds me to try to be patient with myself, and is helping me overcome challenges. And Im not even a woodworker.....I make custom build bicycles. The psychology works for any kind of project....possibly even life itself.

    Cam, a creative video takes the time it takes. If your teaching or dispensing information you don’t stop mid word, sentence, paragraph, page, chapter or book. You go till the end. When all information has been conveyed.
    I just came across your videos and I enjoyed them very much. Keep up the good work.
    Your burnt table with the custom legs on eBay was cool. At $10,000 with 68 bids I can’t afford but you have shown me how to make one.
    That is more valuable to me, the knowledge to make for myself, to do for myself. And to share such knowledge is an even greater valuable blessing. Thank you…

    Cam, i'm an amateur woodworker who aspire to, one day, live from this work. The moment you realized you cut the extension wrong, i felt it in my gut. Even when you measure once, twice, thrice, mistakes happens. When i do it, i feel furious with myself, and i tend to abandon what i'm doing, to never come back. But you said "i bit my tongue a little bit, took a walk around, and then came back and did it the right way". These words reached me. They made me realize it's ok to make mistakes, you just need to take a deep breath and start over. Thanks for your videos!
