Do over: As an IT professional I was laughing hysterically. You have no idea how many tables I've been under and thought, "They did a really nice job with this recessed bracket."
-
As an IT professional I appreciate your appreciation of our under desks environment and aesthetics
-
@BlackTailStudio please don’t ever change your sense of humor in theses videos! I am also a woodworker and possessor of dry humor and I love it! It’s just the cherry on top of your videos.
-
Props to the wood sourcer for giving you the replacements at no extra charge. Respect.
-
Big credit to your lumber supplier. They did the right thing by you.
-
Do over.....just want to say how IMPRESSIVE your ethics and honesty are. There are people out there that would NOT include any of this in their videos and even worse try to pass off their work as flawless.....mad mad props to you and your business, you're one of the rare ones!!!
-
I love that you address the haters and let them know that their engagement actually helps your videos. LOVE IT! Great videos man.
-
Do Over - You should also do a follow up on how those slabs turned out after Aaron put them back into the kiln. I would love to see if they were salvageable or at least know the results.
-
Do Over. Thank you for being so transparent about this failure. When I filmed my "World's Smallest River Table" video I had a pretty catastrophic failure that I thought would be the end of the project. Luckily I was able to recover but I felt so defeated at the time and strongly considered just giving up. Seeing someone with your level of skill have to go through something similar is oddly comforting. Also shout out to Aaron for owning up to the mistake and doing everything he could to make it right.
-
It makes me so happy to see you spreading the organic wood dust around the grass soils and gardens. Mother nature appreciates this very much. ❤❤❤
-
Do over. Wow, what a roller coaster. I am in awe of your persistence and determination. Kudos!
-
Do over. I really respect you for never sending out a faulty product even though it costs you a fortune and takes 3 years. It’s great to watch someone with pure integrity in their art AND in their business dealings. And if you tube revenue enables you to do that, then that’s bloody awesome. Good on ya mate.

Do over. Very impressed that you took the time to admit the “error” in the slab selection. Not many guys of your calibre are willing to admit it. Your work is amazing! Hope to do an epoxy table some day myself.
-
Do over. It's a 'big' man who can put himself out there when he's made a mistake. Your admission shows something about you. I love your videos, and your honesty helps. Keep up the good work and please keep them coming. Your final products are worth the wait. Thanks...'a fan'
-
I think your work is amazing and because you are so honest and expose your mistakes, I feel comfortable with you! 🌹
-
Some people say you’re not a woodworker, some say that you talk too much. Me? Absolutely love the attention to detail, explaining every step, and being honest about what and how you do things. I don’t have a place where to do something like that, nor I have the finances to have all the nice tools, so for now, I admire your work from a great distance. Keep up the amazing job you’re doing!!!!

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. youtube.com/post/UgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6… Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
-
My heart sank when you mentioned trapped moisture, particularly since I've watched your round table build. Your honest approach to us as viewers, the support of your supplier and your frankness with your client was rewarded with the joy that can be seen in your face at the end of the video. Love your passionate approach to woodworking and am always riveted until the end of each story you share.
-
Do Over. I'm so impressed by your work ethics. You would rather eat the cost of all your Labor, materials ect. Than give the customer a table that could go bad down the road. That kind of honesty is rare these days. I try to watch all your videos to learn from your technique. But above all I hope others that watch as I do pick up that noble trait of honesty, and attention to detail. I really like this video.
-
Do over. I love the fact that you don't edit out the stupid mistakes you make. It makes me feel better about the ones I make, like I'm not the only one.
