Hey Cam, I normally love your videos. However, I often watch with my 5yo son. I'm just wondering if the atrocious caulking is something we can expect to continue. Wouldn't want him seeing any more of that.

@rbgy 2 місяці тому

Pro wood worker 27 years here. Wanted to give ya some pointers. Here we go. Just kidding, amazing work as usual. More than the craftsmanship it’s the humility that you show, calling yourself a mediocre woodworker, even though you are certainly not, it makes projects seem approachable and gets people inspired to try. That’s the most beautiful thing we can share with people - inspiration!

The "please don't tell my wives" on the receipt was gold. Nice job.

@Michael-el7uc 23 дні тому

I concur sir, off with the p-word dad’s heads that watch woodworking with a girl. How about telling their wives to watch cartoons, cheerleading, cooking or something girls like to do in life. How many female carpenters are there in this world, maybe 6. lol not enough to even speak on. What is going on today that a grown man will ask another man to not cruse on his on video that he does for a living? Seriously, I will repeat the quote. Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men. Guess what stage the dad with the five year old is on? Weak men and what is next, hard times. Then we will get some strong men again.

Something many folks never figure out about successful channels is that millions of people can make good content, but character is the ingredient that keeps bringing them back. Love the commentary/character you bring. We don't have to agree with everyone in the world. Good friends enjoy disagreeing at times! Rave on. Great entertainment. Thanks

@breezieb3297 2 місяці тому

Absolutely! I barely have any interest in woodworking other than I love watching people passionately make things, so the main reason I keep coming back to Cam's channel is because he's hilarious, he's open with his audience, he's authentic and unapologetically himself, even on camera for millions of people. He's just a good dude!

I have never been a fan of epoxy in furniture used as a focal point, but wow. This is the first time it has ever felt natural to me, something that just makes sense. Well done!

@Steamrick 2 місяці тому

Agreed. I hate river tables. But I do love to see epoxy used to create table tops out of slabs that would otherwise be unusable due to the amout of cracks they have - like this one, but some of them even worse. At that point, all the cracks just add personality. The effort put into charring and a mirror finish does add something special, though.

@johncarter7980 3 дні тому

As a lover of anything made of wood, former 25 year GC of my own company and total 40 year woods craftsman. Let me simply say, this is a beautiful piece of art and I enjoyed watching the build. I enjoy watching other craftsmen who actually care about the smallest of details and truly appreciate the process. As well, it’s also nice to learn new tricks I didn’t know about. Some people might think it odd for someone with an extensive number of years in the trade to make such a comment. I actually wouldn’t trust someone who didn’t, as I know from experience and my teachers who taught me. You should always be learning your craft, no matter what it is because materials and techniques are forever changing. That has never been more true than when you’re talking about working with wood. So, thank you for the overall experience and watching your built I did thoroughly enjoy it. Have a good day, sir.

@EricHersh 25 днів тому

8:42 Whether intentional or not, as a Marine, I audibly guffawed. Thank you. Also, the "stand of shame" at the end was a nice touch; hats off to Scott for all his contributions to your videos.

You are the best narrator on the internet. One of the few channels I will never ever skip an episode. In fact your narration is so good, you could narrate movies in Hollywood. Big fish style. No joke!

@christopherbedford9897 2 місяці тому

Good point. There are one or two build / restoration channels that commentate all the way through and it's just irritating, and there's a couple I love that do no commentating whatsoever (apart from the occasional subtitled explanation or correction when it turns out in post to be necessary) but the Blacktail Studio commentaries really do add to the video and I love it. It all boils down to the presenter's personality and Cam has plenty of that. But of course he does, he's a helicopter pilot.

👍 for "super stable." That's gorgeous, and I think it's a good example to show that fine craftswork requires patient, intense, close-in work. It's not all about buffers and magic potions. Good for you for sticking with this one. I wish I could buy it and put it in a place of honor.

Consider this a thumbs up. I don't know why more people don't do a black background for an epoxy inlay or use a black epoxy. That's BEAUTIFUL. It was SO much work, but you have created a functional piece of art that will last for centuries. Phenomenal!

Hey Cam, I watch with my 4 year old son and he loves to swear. 🙄😔😒. He uses it appropriately and has the right inflection EVERY time. I don’t swear but there are colorful uncles in his life and children at school who love to proclaim their new found words at gym time. Anyway, I’ve been able to curb his habit with a firm word but I wanted you to know I won’t stop watching with him in the room. Apparently, he is smart enough to understand not to repeat everything he hears grown ups say and do. 😂 Kudos to you on the break of your channel. Sorry for the long read. ☺️

👍 absolutely stunning table ... Cam dont be too hard on yourself. I think you are very much like your friends dad and so resigned to repeating a task without any cussing. You are in my opinion way beyond a UKposts wood worker or wood craftsman, you are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN who 1. happens to enjoy what you do and 2. are not satisfied with anything short of total excellence... I applaud you. For the inspiration of us all please keep doing these types of projects. Oh, not to forget Scott, great job on the videos and the editing 👏 👍 a pleasure to watch.

@arthurgreene8799 Місяць тому

That is a beautiful table. The sanded out burn areas next to the mirror epoxy was nearly stunning. I say nearly because inspite of the epoxy, the effect has a little subtlety to it. That is one of the most beautiful pieces of American oak that I have seen. It is near the color and graining of European oak. It was a brilliant idea and one that I think that I could live with.

Cam. First I am not a "wood" guy, but I ran across one of your videos a while back and watched it and then another and another etc. I like everything about your channel and especially your approach to doing your projects and how you relate it to your watchers what you thought process is and the energy that you put into everyone of them. You make a lot of the things you do look pretty easy and I am sure that when you go to bed that your brain is working on how you are going to do what every tomorrows challenge is, I do it myself on my projects. Your attention to detail is impressive, the neatness of your shop is impressive, the number and type of tools you have is impressive. You do not need a CNC, as you have said you don't have room and unless you are making a product in a great quantity or building something that is to complex to make by hand (and skill) CNCs are not a panacea, if you don't use them every day they are just a big piece of your shop that you keep tripping over. Keep at it, I am anxious to watch your next build. Rex
