  • 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.
  • @substanced9410
    The "please don't tell my wives" on the receipt was gold. Nice job.
  • @2muchyoutube
    I like that you take others people's thoughts and concerns and address them. Criticism is the best form of advice and your not afraid to ask for help and let it known. Very humbling.
  • @some_antics
    This has got to be one of the coolest tables we've watched you make so far. The reflective finish on the burnt parts looks amazing.
  • @kerryka82
    I love having Scott as part of the videos. Your back and forth dialogue are great
  • @WGrace
    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
  • @maplelump
    Scott is a goddamn treasure, and I can't imagine videos without him. You two are an incredible team. :)
  • @HugeMitch
    Your self-deprecating sense of humor is an art form in itself. Love how humble you are while making some of the most beautiful pieces. Keep up the good work and we'll be here to watch.
  • @run4cover32
    I absolutely love how transparent you are about your craft and how you don't try to get people to believe that you're perfect you're awesome guy!!!
  • @blafaard
    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!
  • 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
  • @woodsmithohio
    👍👍I have been watching for years. I really appreciate you always trying something new, sharing your failures, sharing the struggles and just honestly sharing. Keep up the beautiful work.
  • @sarbozam
    I just watched this and am blown away by the patience you show. That pencil sanding was wild.
  • @JacqueHarper
    👍 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.
  • @EricHersh
    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.
  • @dannyomo
    the super wet look of the polished epoxy with the matte on the wood looks really great
  • @PatNeil24
    My husband and I have been watching you for years now. We both agree this is probably our favorite project so far!! Absolutely love the burnt wood epoxy polished against the beautiful white oak!! We hope to see more projects with this theme!!
  • @MrValve-fr8hd
    👍🏼I have been following you for years and I don’t usually comment. But I think that this is bad ass! It’s inspiring to see you go back and fix what’s not perfect. I’m working on restoring a car right now and this video inspired me to go back and fix some stuff that “nobody will ever see”. Keep it up!
  • @Rayyvyn
    I absolutely love your vids, not only the projects themselves (which are stunning) but your humor, self deprecating snark. Interplay between you both & finally, how you DON'T edit out your screw-ups & subsequent fixes. You keep making them & I'll keep watching 😊Thanks for the inspiration, the amusement & the entertainment !
  • I love the way you are humble about your skills and not only quick to ask for help but just as quick to give them credit. Chapeau, Sir. 😊
