Since I found your channel, I am was binge-watching your videos. Absolutely amazing! Can't see a reason why over a million subscribers shouldn't be possible for you!
Made it here from Blacktail. I'm a consultant and know all too well the impostor syndrome of dealing with people who earn a kajillion times as much as me and make it look easy. Let me say from this work and video making: Cam was lucky to work with *you*.
Cam seems like a stellar dude. I love his work and videos. But resin tables are resin tables. And that IS craftsmanship. But what you are found doing over here on your channel is often extremely impressive to me. I’m a graduate of James Krenov’s College of The Redwoods, and a longtime woodworker. I don’t get impressed very easily. Keep it up Brother.
@@SawyerDesign it was the year after krenov retired. He still came around occasionally. Laura was in her 2nd year and not yet on staff. So it was Michael Burns, Dave Welter, Jim Budlong, Greg Smith (f’ing genius) and Eijler Hjorth-Westh. It was a great experience but you are beyond anything they could teach you in a school. Honestly.
Came here from black tail studio! I must say this was the best Collaboration I have ever seen! It sucks the table was to high in moisture in the end! I think y’all should work together again but in the same shop, either yours or his!! What a beautiful piece
SLAB: I've been watching both Cam and your vids for a while now. Cam is insanely good at his speciality, and you're one of the most creative woodworkers I have ever seen. I'll happily cover shipping to The Netherlands btw ;)
Here from Cam’s video Your work is so creative and fun The trial-and-error process was so much fun to watch as well I hope that you both can recover quickly and do another collab, and with succes🤞 (I’m just a fine arts graduate and artist, but I can say that I somewhat understand what you guys went through)
Don't know how I tripped into watching this collab but wow on both parts of this table/wall art. Not a wood worker but enjoy watching the process. The starburst pattern reminds me of some fabric piecing I've done for quilts. I love the way it looks and believe it would make a beautiful table top. Sorry I missed out on the giveaway. Never work when hungry or tired. Congratulations on living in the grey zone. Great place to be. Best to you. Thanks for sharing.
Sunburst. A sunburst shows the creativity and attention to detail of the creator. I make slab tops often but appreciate the energy it takes to match veneers together to achieve the "perfect" look.

Sunburst for sure! I just feel like having that radial pattern throughout the top and base would really work well together! Amazing build and thank you for failing 😂
Sunburst please. Love how you look at this as a learning process and don't look at it as a failure. I need more of this attitude in my life please. The design is just gorgeous, and I'm sure you two will make it happen! Can't wait for the next video!
Sunburst - The results speak for themselves on this project. Beautiful work, and it takes a lot of guts and creativity to take on something as complex as your design. I'm glad it worked out!
sunburst design, amazing amount of detailed comment, jig implementation/layout and processes that i greatly appreciate to help on my woodworking journey.
Honestly, I would be happy with either, but have really enjoyed working with slabs. Seriously I am just blown away watching your videos, as well as Cams. We all already won.
I watched Cam's video first, so I knew what was coming. BEAUTIFUL table base! You should be proud of it. I'm in the process of building a pedestal base for a marble table top for my mother. It's a repurposed marble porch table top that she wants to use at her new house. The base is all White Oak. Designing the base has been a challenge. No where near as fancy as your base, but it's the first table base, and is acting as a practice/prototype for a circular dining table she wants us to make using some American Chestnut wood her Father had harvested a LONG time ago, and that's been sitting in her garage for decades. We only get one shot with that wood!!
Digging that slab. Beautiful work on your part, really like seeing your insight and getting a glimpse into how your mind works when problem solving, I think the slab is a conversation starter for people not aware of how beautiful “furniture” can be when not bought at IKEA, great work!
Walnut being my favorite wood second is Cherry. Both are so beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. Your skill is outstanding. Great work. Really glad you didn't give up.
The product that you shared in this video is the result of your art, creativity and skill. In addition to your abilities, those who are interested can also benefit from educational tips.
Sunburst or slab, both equally beautiful in their own way. I love the complexity of your builds and the fact that your shop is small comes through in you videos. It gives us inspiration to not be limited by your environment. Thanks
Slab! I tell my kids all the time that I never learned much from my successful projects but boy oh boy, I sure learn a ton from my failures. Well done. Many thanks.
Sunburst looks fantastic, especially with the cathedral grain! You don't see too many tables get a V3. Hopefully it all comes together on the next step!
Slab: Literally just found your channel and shared with my husband. We have just built a woodshop for him and we have been watching all kinds of videos on wood working projects to do. You are now on our list of must see videos.
SUNBURST! I added the exclamation point because I thought it was necessary. I appreciate your humor and demeanor in the face of adversity. Believe it or not, it helps with my own little problems. Keep up the imaginative work.
Sunburst!! I love cams videos but your furniture is more my style, would love to see you make a full piece with all your incredible veneer work. Thanks!!
That was a great video Nick! The editing and pacing was spot on and the final result looks so clean. The elevator scene at the beginning had me laughing ;)
SUNBURST! Wow, what an incredible level of attention to detail and proficiency! I thought I was thorough, but your work inspires me to be more patient in my creations!
I subscribed because Cam encouraged it. You are different, but both do quality, beautiful work. You’re both artists. I hope you’ll do another collaboration.
Right on.. both videos were good. I thoroughly enjoyed your perception of the " failure " project.. seems you know there is no such thing as failure unless you fail to learn something.. some lessons are more costly than others.. you both are wonderful and creative craftsmen. ❤
Slab! Cant believe the insane amount of work that went into making this. It truly is beautiful. Also, with all the calculations that go into making these your high school math teacher must be proud.
Came here from Blacktail. Enjoyed the Collab, and love your work. My husband and I love watching videos like these. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you for what you do. ☺️❤️
Sunburst: man, you are taking building furniture to a next level! I’m not a wood worker but I can’t wait to see when one of yours videos are out! Same goes for Cam, I pretty much watch him since he started.
Slab or sunburst - either would be fantastic. I can only dream of a point of failure as high as yours. I never miss your videos or Blacktail Studios. Thanks for your work.
SUNBURST , Nick you and Cam have given me the inspiration to make a shop and make furniture. I'm loving it so far and I've made several large tables and some smaller stuff, it's going great. Thank you both for all you do.
Man this is so good!!! My wife and I would be happy with either sunburst or live edge one. It's always a pleasure to see the great work you do Nick. I can only hope to be as meticulous and detail oriented as you someday. Thank you for sharing.
Came over from Blacktail and like what I see. Thank you for the entertainment as I am not able to afford my own tools to do wood working, I have many hobbies but wood working is my passion. God bless
SUNBURST: I love that you push your skills to the limit no matter how much of a time crunch you're in. Too much YT woodworking is about "nobody will ever see this part, so pocket screws are fine". Craftsmanship is about even the parts nobody will ever notice! Love your videos man!
Personally, I like both, having the radial veneer pattern on both the top and base makes for a cohesive piece, not really drawing the eyes to one specific area, but the live edge slab top combined with your table base evokes the funky, organic nature of trees, lending to the viewer’s curiosity to ingest visually the beauty of another’s interpretation of nature through an artfully created piece, great job, both of you!
Slab - Just watching your videos with my extensive TH-cam watching experience, I can say that you produce top quality content and art. You are very deserving of way more subs and i think your going places. Great work.👍
Sunburst , truly unbelievable. The Magic is in where the bent lamination comes to meet the bottom how flawless it looks, melts right into the bottom. I would be proud to show off that show piece.
SUNBURST for sure. Thanks for all of your videos. I appreciate how much you push yourself and how fearless you are. You definitely have done some crazy builds.
Honestly. Having the choice just gives me the opportunity to say that I would love to see your creativity at work and see what you would match it with.
SLAB - this is GORGEOUS, and you are an incredibly creative woodworker. I appreciate that you aren’t afraid to just try something new and see if it works!
I would be happy just owning the base you made, You are flat out an artist and are doing museum quality work. I look every day for a new post from you. You are the star of TH-cam woodworking. I have become addicted to your work. Thank you.
Slab! I'd really love either actually but I had to pick one! Done correctly they can both be beautiful in their own ways. A sunburst is beautiful to me in the craftsmanship as it is the wood while a big slab of walnut oiled up nice is just nature's beauty on full display in my opinion! Can't wait to see the second half next week!
SUNBURST for sure! Have enjoyed your projects. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Trying my hand at a little metal and tile work for a table. Thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone to try something I’ve never done before!
You are my hero for using a vacuum bag. Most woodworker have zero concept of how much clamping force vacuum bagging can exert and how uniform the force is. A full vacuum is -14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI), a full vacuum is impossible but depending on your vacuum pump it is possible to get close. Lets say you wanted to clamp together three 30"x 96" sheets of Baltic Birch plywood to make a workbench top and you put them in a vacuum bag to clamp them while the glue dried. Let us say you used a vacuum of -14 PSI, your work piece is 30x96= 2,880 sqft, multiply that by 14 PSI and you get a whopping clamping pressure of 40,320lbs! If you wanted to use 8"x8"x16" cinder blocks(38LBS each) to try to get the same clamping pressure it would take 1,061 blocks! And..... the stack would be 39.3 feet tall....Damn It is too bad the curved pieces were not 100% structural and the octagonal core was hidden up inside the top of the curved pieces with the steel pipe inside i.e. the steel pipe does not connect the base on the floor to the underside of the table base.
Saw your collab with Blacktail. I love the table and am not phased at all about the concerns you both had with the end result. I know makers are really hard on themselves; I'm a part-time photographer and am super exacting about my deliverables. Still, you both create beautiful and functional art. Keep doing it!
SUNBURST Sawyer, you’re really outdoing yourself with series. Your video production is reaching a quality that I wouldn’t even expect from a woodworking technology business like Kreg or Rockler. Your style has always been unique, but you’re approaching a level of creativity and talent that is going to really make things happen for you. Sky’s the limit for you. I started pursuing woodwork as a hobby 3 years ago, but I knew I wanted to make it my day job after the first year. Since then, it’s been a struggle getting a solid focus. I’ve done nothing but collect tools and scraps for 2 years, outside of building my shop fixtures. I now rent 3 single car garages without electricity, and have just completed my first poured table. It’s looking real good. If I knew you’d take a look, I’d upload a video

Great video man! If anyone is curious about my epic failure and what is next, I elaborate a little more in my video. Out 6/2/22
I've been excited to see this project in full for months, can't wait!
Thanks Cam! Can’t wait to see your edit
Can't Wait Cam!!
Waiting with bated breath
Two days before my birthday. An awesome present to be sure! Even if you consider it a failure. I'll consider it an educational experience as always!

Thanks Raman. That’s nice of you to say. I’m just stoked to work with another craftsman!
Are you saying cam was using him?
Cam seems like a stellar dude. I love his work and videos. But resin tables are resin tables. And that IS craftsmanship. But what you are found doing over here on your channel is often extremely impressive to me. I’m a graduate of James Krenov’s College of The Redwoods, and a longtime woodworker.

@Dave Parker thanks man! Really appreciate that. Definitely envious of your instruction. Did you study under Krenov or Laura?
@@SawyerDesign it was the year after krenov retired. He still came around occasionally. Laura was in her 2nd year and not yet on staff. So it was Michael Burns, Dave Welter, Jim Budlong, Greg Smith (f’ing genius) and Eijler Hjorth-Westh.

I've never seen as pretty of a finish as that guy can put down. Awesome! You're on the list! Appreciate it, Jasper!
Just a killer looking table, getting it that steady was an achievement.
Here from Cam’s video
Your work is so creative and fun
The trial-and-error process was so much fun to watch as well
I hope that you both can recover quickly and do another collab, and with succes🤞
(I’m just a fine arts graduate and artist, but I can say that I somewhat understand what you guys went through)

SUNBURST - Love your tenacity in tackling the problems from the first iteration. Always find your work inspiring.
Sunburst for sure! I just feel like having that radial pattern throughout the top and base would really work well together! Amazing build and thank you for failing 😂
Sunburst just adds a whole other dimension to it. Love your videos. Your work inspires me to do more with my own woodworking.
Slab! I think the contrast from the 'natural' finish of a slab vs your clean designs is stunning and makes it an attention grabber.
Sunburst please. Love how you look at this as a learning process and don't look at it as a failure. I need more of this attitude in my life please. The design is just gorgeous, and I'm sure you two will make it happen! Can't wait for the next video!
SUNBURST. Both versions of this table are simply stunning.
Sunburst - The results speak for themselves on this project. Beautiful work, and it takes a lot of guts and creativity to take on something as complex as your design. I'm glad it worked out!
Thanks for taking Cam up on making the base. I learned a few things watching your video! 👍😃 Very nice pedestals, too!
sunburst design, amazing amount of detailed comment, jig implementation/layout and processes that i greatly appreciate to help on my woodworking journey.

For an older couple, I think this would be a great breakfast table. Love the column! Like epoxy top! Nice collaboration.
Respect to you for your compassion, kindness and integrity.
Sunburst yes !!! Love to see great woodworker collaborating on a art/craft project. Beautiful
Digging that slab. Beautiful work on your part, really like seeing your insight and getting a glimpse into how your mind works when problem solving, I think the slab is a conversation starter for people not aware of how beautiful “furniture” can be when not bought at IKEA, great work!
Walnut being my favorite wood second is Cherry. Both are so beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. Your skill is outstanding. Great work. Really glad you didn't give up.
SUNBURST: that Walnut is just beautiful. And your workmanship is really top notch. Really enjoying the videos. Thanks.

SUNBURST love to see you learning from version one, and the rework that required. Both are beautiful pedestals.
Slab: Literally just found your channel and shared with my husband. We have just built a woodshop for him and we have been watching all kinds of videos on wood working projects to do. You are now on our list of must see videos.
That’s Awesome! Thanks Kathleen
Sunburst: I can appreciate the painstaking hours that goes into the math/time/re-math/cuts....etc.
This is an AWESOME colab idea!
SUNBURST! I added the exclamation point because I thought it was necessary. I appreciate your humor and demeanor in the face of adversity. Believe it or not, it helps with my own little problems. Keep up the imaginative work.
always necessary! Hey I feel ya and glad to read this!
Sunburst!! I love cams videos but your furniture is more my style, would love to see you make a full piece with all your incredible veneer work. Thanks!!
That was a great video Nick! The editing and pacing was spot on and the final result looks so clean. The elevator scene at the beginning had me laughing ;)
Thanks Miles. Haha That was such a pain. Can’t wait for the M1 Ultra to show up. Rotoscope. Everything. 😂
SUNBURST is amazing. Love the design on the base and this one seems super solid all things considered.
Sunburst for sure. The contrast and the skill required make it so much more interesting than just a live edge slab
SUNBURST! Wow, what an incredible level of attention to detail and proficiency! I thought I was thorough, but your work inspires me to be more patient in my creations!
SLAB. My brain melted a little until I saw you blue taping this together. Super creative. Bravo
I subscribed because Cam encouraged it. You are different, but both do quality, beautiful work. You’re both artists. I hope you’ll do another collaboration.
Right on.. both videos were good. I thoroughly enjoyed your perception of the " failure " project.. seems you know there is no such thing as failure unless you fail to learn something.. some lessons are more costly than others.. you both are wonderful and creative craftsmen. ❤
SUNBURST this is absolutely a perfect blend of artwork/engineering/craftsmanship.
Sunburst is amazing. I love that you redid it and even made it better.
Slab! Cant believe the insane amount of work that went into making this. It truly is beautiful.
Also, with all the calculations that go into making these your high school math teacher must be proud.
Came here from Blacktail. Enjoyed the Collab, and love your work. My husband and I love watching videos like these. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you for what you do. ☺️❤️
That table Really well done!!! That is over the top!!! Incredible craftsmanship!!!
SUNBURST: Awesome job and I can appreciate the amount of effort and skill that you possess; can't wait to see what Cam has in store.
Slab - Amazing detail and work! I will also remember "not your fingers, not your problem" forever!
SUNBURST is amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing the process!
Sunburst: man, you are taking building furniture to a next level! I’m not a wood worker but I can’t wait to see when one of yours videos are out! Same goes for Cam, I pretty much watch him since he started.
Friendship is more valuable than all the wood in the world. Best video EVER. wood love to see you try another project together.....
Slab or sunburst - either would be fantastic. I can only dream of a point of failure as high as yours. I never miss your videos or Blacktail Studios. Thanks for your work.
SLAB. Blurring that line between craft and art! Love the collaboration idea, too.
Sunburst. And thanks for posting videos where the results aren't perfect. Great to see the process of fixing things that didn't go as planned!
SUNBURST , Nick you and Cam have given me the inspiration to make a shop and make furniture. I'm loving it so far and I've made several large tables and some smaller stuff, it's going great. Thank you both for all you do.
That's super rad! Happy to share the love of the craft. Congrats on the shop!
SUNBURST for sure. Unbelievable the amount of attention and effort that you put into each layer of the base.
Man this is so good!!! My wife and I would be happy with either sunburst or live edge one. It's always a pleasure to see the great work you do Nick. I can only hope to be as meticulous and detail oriented as you someday. Thank you for sharing.
Came over from Blacktail and like what I see. Thank you for the entertainment as I am not able to afford my own tools to do wood working, I have many hobbies but wood working is my passion. God bless
Sunburst for sure. The clean aesthetic makes it beautiful. Great work.
SUNBURST: I love that you push your skills to the limit no matter how much of a time crunch you're in. Too much YT woodworking is about "nobody will ever see this part, so pocket screws are fine". Craftsmanship is about even the parts nobody will ever notice! Love your videos man!
Sunburst for sure. Epic table. I am sure a bistro sized top will work perfect. Congrats on the collaboration
SUNBURST looks awesome. I really enjoyed this video series.
Sunburst: The skill and patience you have to overcome mistakes and then finish the project just beautifully is noteworthy.
Sunburst. Gorgeous design. You put a lot of work into this piece and thanks for not giving up!
Personally, I like both, having the radial veneer pattern on both the top and base makes for a cohesive piece, not really drawing the eyes to one specific area, but the live edge slab top combined with your table base evokes the funky, organic nature of trees, lending to the viewer’s curiosity to ingest visually the beauty of another’s interpretation of nature through an artfully created piece, great job, both of you!
I think the matched radial pattern would look amazing. Slab tops are gorgeous, but having the radial theme throughout would just be 👌
I’ve always wanted a slab table but I really like the look of the sunburst!
Thank you for the paper recommendation for the vacuum process at previous video. I’ve tried it last week for my project and worked like magic.
Glad it was helpful!
Slab - Just watching your videos with my extensive TH-cam watching experience, I can say that you produce top quality content and art. You are very deserving of way more subs and i think your going places. Great work.👍
That means a lot. I really appreciate the kind words, Myles!
You are a craftsman that creates functional art. None the less you are a great artist, and your design is inspiring. Keep creating brother.
Slab for sure! Love that you and Cam are working together on this.
I’m here after watching Cam’s video, loving your channel so far! Definitely gonna have to say live edge is the way to go!
Sunburst , truly unbelievable. The Magic is in where the bent lamination comes to meet the bottom how flawless it looks, melts right into the bottom. I would be proud to show off that show piece.
Definitely pleased with execution on the remake! Thanks so much.
Radial matched veneered top for sure!
Awesome build. So nice, we got it twice! Enjoyed watching your lessons learned and continuous improvement.
Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it the second time around haha
SUNBURST: love the contrasting complexity of the tabletop and base!
SUNBURST for sure. Thanks for all of your videos. I appreciate how much you push yourself and how fearless you are. You definitely have done some crazy builds.
Thanks man! Always trying to find that next hardest thing. Glad you dig watching the journey 🤙
Honestly. Having the choice just gives me the opportunity to say that I would love to see your creativity at work and see what you would match it with.
Thanks so much Richard.
SLAB - this is GORGEOUS, and you are an incredibly creative woodworker. I appreciate that you aren’t afraid to just try something new and see if it works!
I'm a long time subscriber of blacktail studios I'm glad you did a collaboration with him cause I found another great channel to watch
Really digging the sunburst pattern. Huge fan of the radial look
I would be happy just owning the base you made, You are flat out an artist and are doing museum quality work. I look every day for a new post from you. You are the star of TH-cam woodworking. I have become addicted to your work. Thank you.
Wow really appreciate that Rick! Thanks so much
Definitely a SLAB on top! I am really happy to see you two doing something together!
Spectacular piece I must say. That’s going to make someone real happy. Stellar work guys.
Slab! I'd really love either actually but I had to pick one! Done correctly they can both be beautiful in their own ways. A sunburst is beautiful to me in the craftsmanship as it is the wood while a big slab of walnut oiled up nice is just nature's beauty on full display in my opinion! Can't wait to see the second half next week!
My preference for the table is a slab. I like seeing the imperfections and the more natural state of the wood. Both are amazing
SUNBURST - Honestly, both would look amazing, but I really want to see the theme throughout the piece. Can't wait to see the end result.
SUNBURST for sure! Have enjoyed your projects. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Trying my hand at a little metal and tile work for a table. Thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone to try something I’ve never done before!
Heck yeah! Love to hear it. Comfort zones are meant to be broken.
Love yours and Cam's videos. so glad to see your work together.
Keep up the excellent work
Thank you! Will do!
Beside the moisture in the table the base was AMAZING. The table top its self was also very AMAZING. Great work on the base bro
Thanks man!
‘SUNBURST’!! Can’t wait to see the final piece. Just found your site. Looking forward to watching your content.
You are my hero for using a vacuum bag. Most woodworker have zero concept of how much clamping force vacuum bagging can exert and how uniform the force is.

It is too bad the curved pieces were not 100% structural and the octagonal core was hidden up inside the top of the curved pieces with the steel pipe inside i.e. the steel pipe does not connect the base on the floor to the underside of the table base.
Sunburst, of course. Really admire how you (both) stick to it to get it right. Table looks great and you are a creative person.
Thanks scott! too deep to quit at this point haha
Saw your collab with Blacktail. I love the table and am not phased at all about the concerns you both had with the end result. I know makers are really hard on themselves; I'm a part-time photographer and am super exacting about my deliverables. Still, you both create beautiful and functional art. Keep doing it!
Dove falcons diving into wood. True art right there.
I watched the table being made. You men are true artists. I love the " Live Edge" look
SUNBURST
Sawyer, you’re really outdoing yourself with series. Your video production is reaching a quality that I wouldn’t even expect from a woodworking technology business like Kreg or Rockler. Your style has always been unique, but you’re approaching a level of creativity and talent that is going to really make things happen for you. Sky’s the limit for you. I started pursuing woodwork as a hobby 3 years ago, but I knew I wanted to make it my day job after the first year. Since then, it’s been a struggle getting a solid focus. I’ve done nothing but collect tools and scraps for 2 years, outside of building my shop fixtures. I now rent 3 single car garages without electricity, and have just completed my first poured table. It’s looking real good. If I knew you’d take a look, I’d upload a video
Thanks so much! Yeah I’d love to check it out
Both look awesome, but I think I prefer the sunburst. Nice work!
