$4000 Block of Wood

Worst place : Taiwan in winter 😬 I'm wondering why you put in the bow ties?

Going through a pretty bad time in my life and I want you to know your videos have been really therapeutic for me. Thank you 🙏

Showing the mistakes that happen during the process of woodworking is something not a lot of people would do. I just want to appreciate how vulnerable you get with your audience!

I am a 71 year old grandmother and I do furniture refinishing and painting. I so love your videos, mainly because I am fascinated by all the tools. The fact that you also make mistakes makes the rest of us not feel like morons when we make them. Thanks, you are a talent!

A combination of epoxy and old wood highlight the grain of the wood and made it a stronger structure for many art pieces. I am really admire this technology.

I am a metal worker/welder/fabricator with 40+ years of experience. I just discovered your channel and videos. I absolutely love watching them. Please don't change them. I find your commentary very helpful to know what and why you are doing! I am a new subscriber and eagerly awaiting your next project. Thanks for sharing your craft!

I like that you show your mishaps. It helps others know that they can recover from it and not throw something out. My high school woodshop instructor told me a long time ago, it's not that you made a mistake it's how you fix it.

The worst place I’ve ever been is remote camping in FL during summer. Swarms of mosquitoes, enormous thunderstorms with ear-busting ground strikes and suffocating heat and humidity. I am 71, born and raised in Tampa, and climate here in summer is just plain miserable ( 21:13 winter, on the other hand, is delightful). I’m moving to SW Washington state (Battleground) in September and building a great wood shop to enjoy my retirement with my son and grandchildren. Maybe we’ll bump into you one day at a Portland woodworking store. All the best.

Very refreshing to just have narration and not stupid irritating sound effects in the background. Also amazing how epoxy has revolutionized this kind of woodworking. I like that jointer sled idea I'm going to use that thank you.

Kabul, Afghanistan........This piece looks amazing. The fact that you include your mistakes (along with the fixes) is what sets this channel apart from many others. I have learned a lot from your videos and hope to put some it into practice once the purchase of my new home is completed in January. Can't wait to get going! Keep up the great work Cam!

I left my job in healthcare back in June and started full time as a cabinetmaker under the guidance of the shop owner. I’m loving every second of every day and always learning something new. These videos definitely played a role in my decision to take the plunge and pursue woodworking full time.

Blacktail...I know nothing about woodworking but I love your videos. I've already learned so much. I'm building a memorial bench for my sis-in-law and I wanted to embed a piece of amethyst cut in the shape of a heart. Watching your vids gave me the confidence to just try. I never would have tried to use epoxy to fill cracks and actually add dimension. So far, so good. Even my husband is impressed.

It's wild how this guy has created such a YouTube following after making tables etc... Really cool! Great work Cam

Mosul Iraq 🇮🇶 Cam your attention to detail is amazing. It’s really hard to gauge in a 20 min video but as a amateur craftsman, it doesn’t escape me. I was Army my brother a Marine. It’s because of him I found your channel. He’s amazing with epoxies and tinted decorative concrete sealers. I was surfing and found your channel. I stayed because he’s a lot like you detail oriented, and end product motivated. Everything in between is worth it to accomplish his mind’s eye result. Happy Holidays and happy project hunting.

While building a difficult solid Teak staircase the boss says, "Be careful with that plank, it cost $1400." Thanks Boss, I really needed to know that!

GTMO, Cuba in 1968. Two all male USMC companies for 9 months. Great work and helpful clues on positive and negative work experence. Thanks.

Your unparallel craftmanship is one reason for your success. But what really rounds it up is your humbleness, honesty and share of mistakes. One can tell listening to you that you are just a great character and human being that found joy in what he is doing. In the mix this is what is keeping people to continue watching. Also that you talk as the visual content moves on rather than doing one after another. Keep the videos coming. They sweeten our days and imspire to make own steps in working with wood. Warm regards from Germany. Paul

Not a woodworker and don’t have the fancy tools but I did a similar one for my wife. 300ish year old chestnut beam from an old factory, I left the wild edge wild on the front, with the noriginal dings and notches. Filled the cracks with epoxy as you did, but built up dams everywhere I could with UV setting epoxy, then used aluminum duct tape for the rest. Still had minor leaks and used way more epoxy than I expected, it pretty happy with the result. Additional challenge was that I didn’t want to (nor did I have the tools to) sand it perfectly flat, so all the epoxy had to be brought to surface level but not higher. Finished it with a heavy wax that was worked into the wood with a nylon brush for a smooth touchable (if imperfect) surface. Different end result than yours, but different goal as well. Beautiful work as always!

The worst place I had ever been was this closet in a customers building, I didn't notice it had a crashbar on the outside of the door and the handle inside the door was locked. The building was several feet thick concrete and absolute dead zone for cell reception. I was locked in that closet for hours until one of my teammates found me. Congrats on 1 million! I did give you a sympathy subscription.

Hi Cam, I've traveled quite a bit, and it's up to you and not the place you want to, in my opinion. Love your devotion to your clients' wants. Awesome work!
