    Best line - "Got the coasters?" You and Scott make a great team.
  • @hexangel1523
    genuine shout out to scott and people like scott. It can be SUPER hard to tell a craftsman they did a bad/poor job on something but it really helps everyone learn at the end of the day.
  • I just found your YouTube site today, and have watched five of your videos now. I’m a 70-year-old grandma and I have fallen in love with your work! But my favorite part of watching you, is your integrity with your customers. I can see why they’re so happy with what you do. Not only are you skilled and do an amazingly beautiful work, but how you do it, the skill you put into it, and how you think of them first, I really find admirable. I have subscribed to your station, obviously. And look forward to watching more of what you accomplish.
  • @8bithack
    If this one chance doesn't work, can I have all your stuff?
  • @MarksAGoodLad
    That little switcharoo with the natural dot vs the plug dot with the "so f*#k off" was absolutely genius! Beautiful work as always. Your patience and dedication to perfection is very inspirational
  • @android429
    I love the waterfall end table!! All are gorgeous, of course. My 15 year old son has been deeply enjoying his Construction Tech class this past semester. He built me a beautiful keepsake box, side table, speaker box, folding chair, and we’ve been searching out wood online for future projects. Thanks for sharing your passion!🥰
  • @kaiawarmhearth
    “Europeans, everyone knows, loves guns” 😂😂 what?!
  • The touch of adding the waterfall end table at no cost is a wonderful way to do business. The customers had already accepted your mistake and were so excited about the new pieces, so to go the extra mile and add another piece speaks volumes about your character. Brought a smile to my face almost as big as the smile on your customers!
  • @anonmelclean
    Your videographer is on point, between the epoxy jug emptying tip, helping decide to redo the plug and the reminder on the items that go into the crate, he's the real MVP 👍
  • @dansmith8403
    "Make sure the camera is rolling and tag me in the comets. " Pure comedic gold, well done sir .
  • Love how he promotes and supports other content providers or suppliers in his industry... leading the way and bringing along whomever he can... its just awesome. I hope someday I can own a piece of your work, they are inspiring!
  • @ronc6302
    I’m a disabled veteran and haven’t been able to work in over 13 years. I have a 32’ x 56’ garage that I was planning to convert to a wood workshop. I’ve been fascinated with making acrylic tables. I just came across your YouTube page. I find it wonderful that you show both the failures along with your successes. Thank you.
  • Hej Cam, Just finished my first table. Turned out great as I followed most of your tips. Fun fact, the guy I bought the slabs from here i Sweden was ”oh, do you watch Blacktail on Youtube”, and i was ”oh, ya- totally” Also, stop making it look so easy! It’s a ton of work. 😅 Keep up the good videos!
  • @Pierre-gk5ky
    That dining room table is unbelievable. Absolutely gorgeous.
  • Great closing line, "Got the coasters?" Great video, loved all 4 tables Keep up the great work and the sense of humour
  • 1: Love the longer videos. 2: Loved the sense of humor so pointed in this one! 3. You should always show the bow tie process.
  • @Supr2baboy
    I was saying it with Scott: "Got the coasters?" Haha! Love your honesty and how thorough you are, Cam. Thanks for the great content!
