    I feel like just Scott works fine, although at this point "Scott The Video Guy" feels like his full name now
  • @Aaron_Hanson
    Rescue. That reply to “Fan Of The Week” comment was comedy gold 😂😂😂 I’m a cabinet maker/ detailed joiner by trade and unfortunately due to a severe stroke almost 10 years ago, your videos are the closest thing I can get to as far as unique design and quality workmanship. Congrats to you mate, cheers from Australia 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺

    As soon as I saw the crack in the epoxy, I was reminded of the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery known as Kintsugi - using a special lacquer that's been dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum to glue the pieces back together. And I think this idea perfectly fits your idea of rebranding epoxy tables as a form of rescuing the wood or reusing it, because the purpose behind Kintsugi isn't to fix a teapot or a bowl, but to take something that was an every day object and give it new life as a piece of art that's unique because of its flaws.
  • @James-ql5nz
    Rescue: The first "rescue" term my genius wife came up with took her 2 seconds, and it was REPOXY. Sounds like recycle, reuse, and rescue, but it's a brand new word. What a fun project, Cam !! "Scott the video guy" is perfect and should remain his name forever. :)
  • @Energyislogic
    At 26:40 whilst you're curing the UV coat, the epoxy fluoresces a bright blue at the edges of the wood. Wonder if you could recreate that effect in normal light and make a "atoll table" where the dark epoxy transitions to a bright blue at the edge of the wood. Would be awesome, but probably very VERY difficult.
  • @brananddandi
    Longtime listener, first time caller: Love your work brother, learning so much. Ive come into a small windfall of epoxy and couldn't be happier to be your virtual apprentice. Seasons Greeting to you, Scott and ALL!!!!
  • @user-ng1zh5ci2v
    Rescue. I think revived should be the word. Alot of people would have shelved it. You breathed life back into the project and made it beautiful. Really enjoy your videos and tips. They have helped me alot
  • @ronnieminer349
    I bought this as a gift for my friend youtube.com/post/UgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5k… who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
  • @KeithFlint350
    RESCUE! I'm aboslutely not interested in wood working, but I love watching your videos. The storytelling, the passion, the humor, jokes... it's so pleasant to watch it :)
  • @VinceW187
    I like how Scott has been promoted from just the video guy to one of the key materials in the shop. You find him on the shelf in between the walnut and the epoxy ready for filming. Just think about it. Your great Scott!
  • @AustinWesson
    Rescued me from my boredome with a beautiful video. Love the openness around you and scott and the viewers, its refreshing to see the little ways you guys do fake wrap ups and the funny little conversations. Ive only been watching for about 2 days but ive binged a good few videos, love the content, miss woodworking myself, glad to see someone with more patience than me really put together some amazing works.
  • @user-ie5np2uk8i
    I agree with you Cam. the Rescue Table is probably the nicest looking table I've seen on your channel. Absolutely beautiful!
  • @crisholmurb007
    The best with this channel is Cam's honesty and brilliant sense of humour.
  • Rescue Scott the Video Guy! From a personal standpoint, Scott has been more than the video guy for a while. We always see him helping out. Most of the regular viewers know who he is. That said, my vote is to change it to "Just Scott" and mess with the newbie viewers. PS to Scott: I'm sorry for your loss but at least you're safe and back on the road.
  • @kris-kv8rp
    Rescue! Wow! This table is gorgeous, great work and I'm glad you didn't give up on it.
  • @jlong7176
    Would be cool to see if you could make something using standard framing 4x2 timber and see what level of finish you could get out of it? Love your work
  • @l.rod2827
    Rescue, I would call it a resurrected table. It was resurrected into a beautifully improved table. As always your craftsmanship improves more and more with each project. Your attention to details is so evident in the end product. Keep them coming, Every time you and other woodworkers post a new video I learn a bit more.
  • @cujero
    Rescue, this is my absolute favorite table you’ve ever made. That wood has to be the most beautiful piece I’ve seen and i remember feeling so bad when I saw the first video. Well I’m glad you saved it.
  • As you stated at the end of this video Rescue... 🙃I have just been introduced to your channel earlier today... as a an artist who also trained as a cabinetmaker. I appreciate all the effort you went into resurrecting that amazingly beautiful piece of timber. 20 years ago I found myself in a timber merchants with all these fabulously striking unique pieces of all different kinds of timber. I ended up bringing a 18 inch x 13 inch x 3 inch deep piece back on the plane with me... It is some sort of burl.. its been so long since then, I don't remember what it is exactly. it has like your piece, beautiful medullary rays. My initial idea was to use a book-leaf design as part of a table top inlay. I took it to a timber specialist back where I live as there is many small areas that need to be filled... Over the years I look at it longingly, where little bits fall out when I pick it up. It seems sacrilegious, not to utilise its beauty in all its glory. I was put off by what the timber guy said at that time. And now, having watched many artists do amazing things with epoxy resin and timber an with all of the potentially inherent problems that can happen. I realise I don't have the skills needed to pull off reshaping it into something beautiful, especially given its actual size. Watching your video has inspired me to do or at least, get something done with it.
  • @macdietz
    I really appreciate your sense of humor. Too many people would pull the punches to seem likable. You just told everyone to cram their stupid big clock down their throats. I'm going to go remove ours from the wall now in shame, thanks for the life advice.
