No shade on Cam's amazing talent and production values, however I believe the main reason for his channel's attraction and high subscriber count is the sensual, satisfying, ASMR nature of the epoxy and woodworking process.
As a former EMS helicopter mechanic and now an aspiring woodworker, I’m encouraged by his forthright comments and candid observations! Maybe there’s hope for me too! lol The interview was very well done, and most enjoyable to watch! Thank you both!
Cam's honesty. The no "I am the ultimate and perfect woodworker" persona that is so prevalent amongst other channels. I thoroughly enjoy and have learned a lot from his mistakes (most of which I have made many times over, I am not as smart as he is and it takes me a few tries to work through the best fix).......
Cam is easily one of the best "How to" channels on TH-cam, absolutely no fluff, no pandering, and no nonsense childish "gotcha" thumbnails to drive views. Just a well educated gentleman, showing how it is done.
How this interview was conducted, the subject matter, along with Cameron's personable manner, honest explanations and willingness to answer question in such a candid way really kept me engaged in this video. Nice job.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from an old timer when I got into high end woodworking. He told me a mistake is only a mistake if you cant fix it, and if it's a major mistake make it a highlight.
I'm a dentist and I DID Make my own walnut and epoxy coffee table thanks to Cam. It was a ton of work but I knew what I was getting into since woodworking was a hobby already. Great interview, great interviewee. Well done guys!
@@UpFlip i would think its difficult to make money woodworking- the wood and materials are really expensive. I've made 5 or 6 pieces of furniture for my house( all on my dental office website!). In almost every instance wood has been close to 1000 if not more. So at that point if it takes 5 days to complete a piece (wishful thinking for a hobbyist) it would have to sell for over 2k to net 200 per days work. Dont think that can happen, at least not for me.
I've been a fan of Cam's for a while and I still found this video really worth while. It's cool to hear him with another person and you guys asked a lot of great leading questions. Thanks for posting!
These are really great questions and I love how transparent Cam is about all of this. When you know you're miles ahead of the most of the competition you know you've got nothing to worry about in being transparent.
Yes he is transparent. He said he only works "high end" projects now, aka only 1%'s can afford. Forget all the 1.3 million subscribers who can't afford a $15k - $30k and up products he makes. It's a middle finger to his supporters. Subscribing to craftsmen who make and sell to everyone, not just the super rich, is the true good natured crafter. This is the problem with society, using people to get ahead, then ditching them for $$$. Politicians do it all the time to get elected. The commenters/fans of his totally missed what he said, it revealed his true nature, greed. I unsubscribed. Advice, most people suffer from the cult of personality, almost worshipping people they admire. The only person deserving of our worship is Jesus. God bless. 🤠🙏✝️🇺🇸
I've been watching Cam for a while now. I'm not a wood worker but what he does is facinating. The one thing that makes his videos so great is him. He presents very well. He cares about what he is doing and there is no BS, no bombast. He comes across as a genuine guy and people respond to that.
I love that dude is so honest, he had to stop being a pilot, because he didn't want to risk other peoples lives, doesn't want to just have 50 employes to rake in more cash, and just shouts out his wife all the time. good guy.
Congrats to Cam, I've been following him for a while and had a video chat with him when I started. Well deserved recognition and thanks for all the tips!
@@UpFlip yes, just at the beginning stage. 3rd carrier, turning a hobby to a business. Not good at the social media thing and learning how to make videos
So glad Upflip found Cam to interview! This guys is great at what he does, very honest and transparent, and overall seems to have a passion for what he is doing. He goes above and beyond on his videos and probably one of the people I watch most on TH-cam as I hope to be doing similar to what he does and to be able to make it a business as he has. Upflip I big thanks to you guys as well. I’ve been watching you guys a lot for the last month or so and appreciate the real deal content as I’m always trying to find a new venture of making extra income. Thank you for putting out this content. It’s always encouraging!
I'm a heavy diesel mechanic, but my passion and desire to start my own wood working business is strong. I love the aside about starting small and testing the market for demand when determining when to make that big leap. Thank you for this!
@@UpFlip I've been wood working for a couple years now. I started out making patio furniture using a basic blue print and I saw a big jump in demands, but stopped building because I was really selling myself short thinking "what would people pay" instead of thinking "what is my work worth". I think I'm going to start up again!
Thank you for watching Cliqboom. 😀We appreciate you supporting both channels. Cam has some great work and work ethic. What are some of your favorite pieces of his?
When it comes to what makes a business work...who you are and what you represent will sell itself. This guy is so open and honest, it makes you want to do business. All the internet tricks cannot hide a bad person. Awesome business!
Cam is the most honest guy...and one of the most respectable folks in the business of this...I have watched quite a bit if not all of his vids....along with backwoods, john malecki and many many more.......honesty is ALWAYS the best policy....things take time, especially with perfection....CAM is the man with this.... purchase with confidence...
I’m such a huge fan of Cam! He inspired me to start making cutting boards / incorporating epoxy art and filling in my tool organizers I build, or furniture that my mom asks me to build etc!! Her friends now even ask if they can pay me to make them stuff! He unlocked such a fun hobby for me and his videos are always something super relaxing to watch and learn from at the end of the day!:)
Super amazing Nicholas. 😀This is wonderful to hear. We love your inspiration and would love to see some of your work. What's one of your favorite projects that Cam has done?
Fan of Cam for a couple years and happy for his success and spotlight here. I greatly appreciate his candid and openness sharing what he knows and his revenue. Very helpful and inspiring! Thanks guys!
Another EXCELLENT interview with an extremely candid and inspiring business owner! So much value, insight and wisdom provided throughout the entire interview! The insightful and relevent questions asked and the way these interviews are edited keeps you engaged, doesn't waste time and culminates with a TON of valuable information being disseminated. This 30 minute interview honestly seemed to be much shorter but still delivered such high quality value and content! Everyone can learn something of high value from these interviews even if it's not your specific business or area of interest, the universal aspects of business that the various interview subjects/business owners share that they found to be most beneficial and the unique lessons they learned along the way are absolute gems! I always get so pumped and inspired every time I watch one of these videos, this one in particular! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Cameron is great. Very personable and knowledgable. I've watched almost all of his videos. I'm a budding woodworker myself, so I try to learn a lot from him. The biggest hurdle for me, I think, is the social media aspect. I have IG right now, but I have a lot of younger people telling me I have to do more, so I'll probably enlist my kids to help. Anyway, his story is inspiring and I hope to have even half his success.
I used to watch every single Blacktail Studio video. I never understood all the hate Cam got from the woodworking purists just because he uses epoxy. His work is always stunning.
The same reason someone who pierces ears would get hate from surgeons if they called themselves a surgeon. Just because he works with wood does not mean he has the skills or talent or knowledge of talented woodworkers. He proves this on numerous occasions with his mistakes in videos.
@@SimielBlackmost people don’t show their mistakes, they all want to come off as perfect. You think Tom Silva or Norm Abram are 100% perfect daily…doubt it. Lots of old school guys may be “more talented” don’t have a clue on how to run a business in today’s ultra fast paced world and are envious of someone “quick” success.
@@peterfreeman3317 The reason he gets hate isn't because of his success, it's because he calls what he does woodworking. 90% of his business is cleaning live edges and pouring epoxy. That is his business. It is not woodworking. He's evoking a legacy of talent he doesn't have. He IS extremely talented at pouring and finishing epoxy and a savvy business owner. He's still a terrible woodworker.
@@SimielBlack what is a wood worker? Someone who works with wood. He obviously works with wood. Epoxy tables are hot right now, he sees the market and goes for it. Is he a Master Craftsman? No he isn’t, but he still has talent. I like the guy. He saw an opportunity to do something he loves and make bank. What’s the issue? How about you put away all your tools and use 100-200 year old wood working tools like the “real woodworkers”, start a TH-cam channel, and start a 180K a year business!
@@peterfreeman3317 You not understanding what a woodworker is, is exactly why you don't get this. A mechanic who works with metal parts all day is not a metalworker. Someone who repairs phone screens all day is not a glassblower. Working with a substance does not make you a worker of that substance. He's a resin-worker if you want to be absolutely literal. However, that does not evoke the feeling of craftmanship he wants to convey, because he's a savvy businessman he calls himself a woodworker, because people who don't think about it at all will get the right "feeling". He wants to evoke the feeling of master crafted furniture, of a legacy business that maybe was a craft passed down in his family, or from another craftsman, over 10,000 hours, of apprenticeships and practice. He does little to no joinery, or actual furniture making, creating an epoxy and wood slab and adding metal legs is no more woodworking than you putting together an ikea table. You front me the £20,000 I'd need to get and furnish a workshop with which to start a business like his and I will make my own YT channel. I'm not an ex-helicopter pilot with a shit-ton of money and a wealthy family to help me start a business.
I'm a Uk based subscriber to Blacktail Studios and have for a very long time enjoyed watching Cams content which he delivers with a very candid open honest approach and easy manner which makes him totally enjoyable to both listen to and watch. Its great he's been featured on this channel
Just finished Cam’s online class and it’s worth every penny. I just bought my first piece of lumber and am about to begin my journey and I’m super stoked!!! 2 great TH-cam channels in one video
I've been building boxes for 7 years and I want to change my focus to something where I'm not doing installs. I love wood, love finishing and love the look of a gnarly piece of burl or pretty grained wood with or without epoxy. Sounds like there may be plenty of business out there so I'm gunna be watching all your excellent videos. Thanks for putting this out there! I don't know what we would do without TH-cam, I learned a lot of my cabinetry skills and prevented many mistakes by watching other folks stuff...:)
Thank you for your information you choose to share. You don’t hold back and that separates you from the average woodworker. Keep up the great work Cam. I always look forward to new videos from you.
I have been watching and learning from Cam for a couple years now. I think I joined his page with under 100K subs. Been a great ride to see him flourish and all the while teach his magic. Love this guy and his page and wish him all the success he deserves. Best part is his edgy and awesome comebacks to the TROLLS who feel the need to try to slight his work.. CLASSIC.
Don't know how the link ended up in my feed, but absolutely enjoyed the interview. I've seen some of the Blacktail videos, and am in a similar situation, although I maintain my "real" job, and still do wood/metal working as a hobby. You asked a lot of the questions I always wonder. Great show!
I had a phone consultation with Cam a couple weeks back about a custom desk project I'm working on. He was great. Super helpful and just as personable as you see him here!
This has helped me so much! Thank you UpFlip and thank you Cam. So much great information! I’ve recently retired and have struggled with planning and direction. This has helped me to realize you just need to do it.
Great interview, been watching Cam for at least 2 years now. Started binge watching when I broke my clavicle and was laid up for a while. Keep it up Cam it's great to see how well you're doing from another channels perspective.
Absolutely incredible work. I want to note here, the level of craftsmanship that Cameron brings to his wordworking and additionally to video production, etc… is born out of the ability to apply deep learning to the things Cameron tackles. I’m going to project here, Cameron can correct me if I’m wrong but, being a pilot by career, he learned early on, how to immerse himself in learning to achieve that, and in the same art while flying. The key of deep learning, hes then taken forward to his other efforts with I must say, an inredible level of effectiveness. Bravo Cameron, in everthing you do. Perhaps, at some point you can do a video on what you know, about how you learned, all that you’ve learned and applied in your career(s) and life.
This is awesome. I'm also a wood worker. Carver, burner and turner. I started a business a yr ago and it's been booming ever sense. Nordic Wolf Custom Carvings has taken off way beyond my wildest dreams. I'm also a one man team like yourself. So it's nice to see others in the same position. Thank you for sharing this.
@@marap4107 I haven't really even looked at my books an done the numbers. Everything is commission based word. Except a few things that have set prices. And mostly everything I do is freestyle, no format.
So good to see him on your channel. I’m knee deep in 3 resin tables at midnight. Funny I told a client 3 weeks for two massive tables I’m making for his coffee shop in NYC. I should have given myself more time!! Haha!
Great interview and very informative. One thing: selling 15k worth of product is not the same as “making” 15k a month. That’s a deceiving title/topic, as Cam could be selling 15k worth of tables and actually losing money. After 28 years owning 2 businesses, revenue doesn’t pay the mortgage and taxes, profits do. Much respect to Cam for taking the Entrepreneurial plunge and going for it!
This was great to watch. I’m a woodworking pilot too but in the UK. Ive started selling stuff and though I’m not at Cams level yet I thought this was very inspirational. Great questions and answers! Thanks!
I loved both of your infectious enthusiasm which flowed effortlessly throughout your presentation. Hats off to you, camera, sound, and your editing team too. Lots of background life lessons, made me want to be a kid starting all over again, Thanks so much! Kind regards Keith.
What a wonderful comment Keith. 😀💖Thank you so much!!! We love working with Cam and hearing his business success story. He such a genuine person. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch. Have you checked out Cams other video on the channel?
@@UpFlip Thank you so much. I just watched it with my morning coffee and once again found your interview inspiring. I also have now signed up for UpFlip as well. Kind regards Keith
@@UpFlip I also just subscribed. Thanks for your informative video. Cam is right, every business has its own approach. It might work in the USA, but much more difficult in my country Macedonia. However, thanks for the video.
From a financial perspective, selling a larger piece for $7-12K, even with 50-60% of that in materials, if you can then turn around and use off-cuts for a smaller piece to sell for $2-4K, leads to total revenue of $9-16K and expenses of $4-6K, or profit of $5-10K.
This was excellent. You asked all the right questions and some of them multiple times in different ways. I learned everything that I wanted from this interview. I’m a longtime fan of blacktail studio
Love your videos and this one was particularly interesting! I’d love to know what gear you guys use to shoot your shows that always look so good. In particular, what cameras are you using? Thank you!
This was a great video! Cam gave so many gems for starting a business, running a business, dealing with costumers and more. Super talented guy, I appreciate the video! Interviewer asked great questions too!
Whilst I enjoy and enjoyed this content and believe me, I get it, Its inspirational and shows us an insight and asks questions that I assume we'd all like to ask however, always remember to take this with a pinch of salt. This guys lives with the biggest walnut slab seller in the world on his doorstep, quite literally - would you say that building a business making tables out of walnut slabs would benefit from this? absolutely. its not like it was a POG factory instead. He was a full time EMS pilot, weather you agree or not, that's a pretty decent salary. 50-60k a year here in the Uk. Now yes, it's brilliant to completely switch and take up a new trade, takes a lot of risk, but financial risk? I don't think so - not for him. If he failed, will he loose his job, house, rent, etc? My point is, things like this steer & clickbait people (including myself) to a "built from the ground up from nothing" style, and yes, you could argue he has, he bought a few inexpensive tools, to begin with, but this man, from what I could see only risked "not liking it". Reminds me of that I.T Crowd quote "When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and 6 million pounds" I love blacktail studios, have watched hours of his videos an take inspiration from it and this was very insightful, but they gloss over the fact he started his business in literally the most idyllic situation possible.
That, and the fact that the actual woodworking is no longer the focus. It’s now about creating content to feed his social media. That’s a turnoff to me, makes him seem less authentic. I wish him well-obviously he is doing well-but it’s off putting to make it mostly about social media.
Thanks for sharing this great insight. I think we all would love to find that “dream job” and in todays internet world it’s easy to make things appear different then they are and you honed in on that. I found what you said more encouraging then this video.
@@annarichter4031 How does it make him lesss authentic? If you judge someone negatively for being on social media don't you find that hypocritical while consuming it? (Yes TH-cam is social media)
the podcast is simply awesome. Cameron is my favorite woodworker on earth, as well as the most inspiring person, professional, human being, to be like. Also from italy the audience is at least +1
I truly respect what Blacktail has built and celebrate his success, however I'm deeply concerned for the longevity of epoxy projects. I trained with a couple of the best woodworkers in the US and they strongly agree that wood movement makes river tables and similar projects likely to fail within a decade or two.
I do woodworking and stay away from them as much as possible. I've already heard from many people about furniture failure from so many social media woodworkers who only have a few years experience and just do what's popular. Epoxy separation is common as well as yellowing. Warping is probably the most common as the woodworkers don't let the wood dry down enough to be ready for working.
Cam is a straight up guy and is why its why i follow his occasional streams and videos posted. Ive binge watched for entire days just to sharpen my wood working knowledge. This guys work is at such a high level that i could only dream to be at one day. Lets give a hats off to the interviewer and photographer as well. For once someone asked all the right questions and in a professional manner. 👍👍
Love both your videos Love both watching both of you guys tremendous inspiration It would be nice if he hides an apprentice and kind of teaches like a younger guy to ropes and I think if he does that he'll be surprised at how much pressure it takes off him to run the business just a thought
Not true I started a painting business 3 years ago because I became a single dad of 3 boys and couldn’t afford a 9 to 5 pay check, 3 years later i did 1 exterior house for 34k my second highest was 22k and my 3rd was 18k those 3 jobs took my and my 2 guys 5 weeks, all are other jobs are between 8k to 12k non stop threw out the summer, now it’s winter and it’s cabinet season, an average cabinet refinishing job is 4 days to a week and can start around 4,200 to 8,000. But you got to hustle, advertise, network, know what your doing and get referrals. Not everyone wants to work 70-80 hours a week, 7 days a week eventually if you work hard at something and put everything in it it will pay off, some ppl know how to grind and work hard but don’t know how to run a business or advertise and market your business and that’s why they fail.
Its definitely helpful to have money to start or this much free time for sure. But many have started with nothing. Probably not as much growth or as quickly as his but doable for sure
This whole “must be nice” culture makes me sick. Stop making excuses and do the thing you want to do, envying someone who has made smart professional decisions isn’t getting you anywhere. It’s not about being set up financially, it’s about passion.
And how do you think he had this high income career?? Come on, this guy should be an example. He used his free time to do something else than going to the bar, developed his skills, in woodworking and social media,.. and it worked, he took risks...will you? I have only one thing to say, "bravo" And thank you for sharing and inspiring (that's actually two or thre things to say, I know...)
Suggestion- the continuous, irrelevant and super short b roll cuts y'all placed at every possible gap are quite disorienting. Maybe some relevant footage to what he's actually talking about next time?
I just found your channel, I have been watching Matthew Peech who is awesome. I am a nurse of 47 yrs will be 65 an a few days and want to get out of nursing. I took shop in high school, I have redone most of the interior of my home. I love woodworking and want to start as a side hustle to retire out of nursing. I have converted my garage into a woodworking shop and I getting ready. Thank you for your inspirations as well as Mr. Peech. You guys are awesome. God Bless
Age is just a number, Kelly! Never too late to start. If you're inspired to be like him, please feel free to check out our channel for more inspiration. We aim to lay out "blueprints,” so other people will be successful too. Best of luck! 👊
This may be my first comment on a TH-cam video ever; but I had to because of the quality of this content. The questions you asked, the pacing of the video, etc etc. This is some of the highest quality content I've seen on TH-cam. Instant subscriber. Thanks.
I started watching Blacktail a couple months ago. I’m not a woodworker but his content is so amazing and therapeutic. I’m now ramping up to do my first table. I recommend purchasing his epoxy pour class.
Glad you love this video! Your appreciation means a lot to us and motivates us to continue producing content like this. Do you have a business topic you want to see next on the channel? 🤔
Really impressive interview. Like Cam, I'm an EMS Helicopter Pilot in Canada and have a similar schedule. I "dabble" in the woodworking craft during my time off and slowly buy tools as I need them but have a long way to go! Cam is correct when he said that he had to make a decision because his studies were starting to suffer and his business was probably becoming a distraction. In fact, I'm studying for my annual PPC right now and checked out this video during a quick 5-minute break that I needed. He's a true professional for recognizing and rectifying the situation by walking away from flying. You are very inspirational! Keep up the great work Cam!! You have one more Subscriber!
We appreciate you taking the time out to watch Rob.😀 Thank you. So glad you found this video inspiring and relatable. Congrats on all your wonderful success and keep up the great work. Thanks for supporting Cam and the Upflip fam. Should we do more videos in this industry?
Great info. I have been a furniture maker for 50 years or so. Am now retired and wanting to build what I want. No employees just me making art. Probably smaller items that can ship easily. Thanks for the tips.
So, in summary… Cam married the most amazing and supportive wife ever, and has been able to use his new found talent to make great furniture. Damn, my wife was an idiot. Great interview with one of my favorite woodworkers. Thanks for showcasing Cam and his awesome projects.
I love his channel. He's doing it right he caters to his audience in the perfect way where it's not boring keeps you intrigued. I feel like his subs come from a community of like minded people who enjoy seeing things come from nothing
Welcome to the Upflip family Keith. 😀👍💖Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback. Please let us know what type of content you'd like to see on the channel?
I am NOT a youtube watcher! But Cam have transformed me totally. Not that I watch other youtubers but Cam... I love this guy, his tables, his sense of details and the tlking! And of course that he got that dog ,entlebuch mountaindog. And that well grounded fear of the Wife! One day when I get proper meticulouse ( I am a mess by nature) I will build a table myself!
This is really inspiring because I'm beginning my own wood working hobby/business journey! Thanks, this interview was great and Cam really gave it away in this segment. Thanks so much for so much info and experience!
I’ve been watching Cam for a while now, he seems like a very humble man. I think with the time and effort he has put in he deserves what he’s achieved.

No shade on Cam's amazing talent and production values, however I believe the main reason for his channel's attraction and high subscriber count is the sensual, satisfying, ASMR nature of the epoxy and woodworking process.
You all are growing quickly too. I remember when you only had 16k
As a former EMS helicopter mechanic and now an aspiring woodworker, I’m encouraged by his forthright comments and candid observations! Maybe there’s hope for me too! lol
The interview was very well done, and most enjoyable to watch! Thank you both!
Cam's honesty. The no "I am the ultimate and perfect woodworker" persona that is so prevalent amongst other channels. I thoroughly enjoy and have learned a lot from his mistakes (most of which I have made many times over, I am not as smart as he is and it takes me a few tries to work through the best fix).......
What stood out the most to me, was the interviewers great and relevant questions, good job sir :)
Cam is easily one of the best "How to" channels on TH-cam, absolutely no fluff, no pandering, and no nonsense childish "gotcha" thumbnails to drive views. Just a well educated gentleman, showing how it is done.
Yes he is Gregory. This is wonderful feedback. Thank you!😀Should we do more woodworking videos?
Thanks so much, and I try Greg!
Agree 100%
Can never asked you to subscribe until after you've seen some of his show. He's only looking for invested viewers.
No fluff? Evidently you've not seen the dog :D
I've been watching Blacktail Studio for a long time now. Glad to see Cam featured here.
Appreciate that man!

Hey same here. Good to see you on another channel Cam
How this interview was conducted, the subject matter, along with Cameron's personable manner, honest explanations and willingness to answer question in such a candid way really kept me engaged in this video. Nice job.
Absolutely right! Well, I am also looking for more genuine and smart short term investment, any idea here?
It's fascinating to hear that someone here also employs madam Christine's services. She has been managing my investment
A CNBC news host spoke so highly of💕Christine Lynn Saitta and her loss prevention strategies been trying to get to her ever since
I heard she always have a way of linking someone investment into something new and profitable👍
Honestly, I will also recommend madam Christine Lynn Saitta services for you, she is a genuis

I’ve been watching you guys a lot for the last month or so and appreciate the real deal content as I’m always trying to find a new venture of making extra income. Thank you for putting out this content. It’s always encouraging!
I'm a heavy diesel mechanic, but my passion and desire to start my own wood working business is strong. I love the aside about starting small and testing the market for demand when determining when to make that big leap. Thank you for this!
We're happy you found the video useful Michael. Thanks for watching. 😀How long have you been into woodworking?
@@UpFlip I've been wood working for a couple years now. I started out making patio furniture using a basic blue print and I saw a big jump in demands, but stopped building because I was really selling myself short thinking "what would people pay" instead of thinking "what is my work worth". I think I'm going to start up again!
Blacktail is my favorite plasticworking channel.
We're so glad to hear that JulienB. Have you checked out any of the other videos on the channel?
I have followed Cameron's work for quite a while. He seems like a legitimately great guy with an amazing work ethic. Thanks for showcasing his work.
Thank you for watching Cliqboom. 😀We appreciate you supporting both channels. Cam has some great work and work ethic. What are some of your favorite pieces of his?
When it comes to what makes a business work...who you are and what you represent will sell itself. This guy is so open and honest, it makes you want to do business. All the internet tricks cannot hide a bad person. Awesome business!
Cam is the most honest guy...and one of the most respectable folks in the business of this...I have watched quite a bit if not all of his vids....along with backwoods, john malecki and many many more.......honesty is ALWAYS the best policy....things take time, especially with perfection....CAM is the man with this.... purchase with confidence...
I’m such a huge fan of Cam! He inspired me to start making cutting boards / incorporating epoxy art and filling in my tool organizers I build, or furniture that my mom asks me to build etc!! Her friends now even ask if they can pay me to make them stuff! He unlocked such a fun hobby for me and his videos are always something super relaxing to watch and learn from at the end of the day!:)
Super amazing Nicholas. 😀This is wonderful to hear. We love your inspiration and would love to see some of your work. What's one of your favorite projects that Cam has done?
Fan of Cam for a couple years and happy for his success and spotlight here. I greatly appreciate his candid and openness sharing what he knows and his revenue. Very helpful and inspiring! Thanks guys!
Another EXCELLENT interview with an extremely candid and inspiring business owner! So much value, insight and wisdom provided throughout the entire interview! The insightful and relevent questions asked and the way these interviews are edited keeps you engaged, doesn't waste time and culminates with a TON of valuable information being disseminated. This 30 minute interview honestly seemed to be much shorter but still delivered such high quality value and content! Everyone can learn something of high value from these interviews even if it's not your specific business or area of interest, the universal aspects of business that the various interview subjects/business owners share that they found to be most beneficial and the unique lessons they learned along the way are absolute gems! I always get so pumped and inspired every time I watch one of these videos, this one in particular! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Cam is one of the best woodworkers on TH-cam. His work is immaculate!
Cameron is great. Very personable and knowledgable. I've watched almost all of his videos. I'm a budding woodworker myself, so I try to learn a lot from him. The biggest hurdle for me, I think, is the social media aspect. I have IG right now, but I have a lot of younger people telling me I have to do more, so I'll probably enlist my kids to help. Anyway, his story is inspiring and I hope to have even half his success.
I love Cam’s channel. He is so honest, humble and talented. He has inspired me so much. Thank you Cam!!!
This is great Joshua. 😀Do you do woodworking as well?
I used to watch every single Blacktail Studio video. I never understood all the hate Cam got from the woodworking purists just because he uses epoxy. His work is always stunning.
The same reason someone who pierces ears would get hate from surgeons if they called themselves a surgeon. Just because he works with wood does not mean he has the skills or talent or knowledge of talented woodworkers. He proves this on numerous occasions with his mistakes in videos.
@@SimielBlackmost people don’t show their mistakes, they all want to come off as perfect. You think Tom Silva or Norm Abram are 100% perfect daily…doubt it. Lots of old school guys may be “more talented” don’t have a clue on how to run a business in today’s ultra fast paced world and are envious of someone “quick” success.
@@peterfreeman3317 The reason he gets hate isn't because of his success, it's because he calls what he does woodworking. 90% of his business is cleaning live edges and pouring epoxy. That is his business. It is not woodworking. He's evoking a legacy of talent he doesn't have. He IS extremely talented at pouring and finishing epoxy and a savvy business owner. He's still a terrible woodworker.
@@SimielBlack what is a wood worker? Someone who works with wood. He obviously works with wood. Epoxy tables are hot right now, he sees the market and goes for it. Is he a Master Craftsman? No he isn’t, but he still has talent. I like the guy. He saw an opportunity to do something he loves and make bank. What’s the issue? How about you put away all your tools and use 100-200 year old wood working tools like the “real woodworkers”, start a TH-cam channel, and start a 180K a year business!
@@peterfreeman3317 You not understanding what a woodworker is, is exactly why you don't get this. A mechanic who works with metal parts all day is not a metalworker. Someone who repairs phone screens all day is not a glassblower. Working with a substance does not make you a worker of that substance. He's a resin-worker if you want to be absolutely literal. However, that does not evoke the feeling of craftmanship he wants to convey, because he's a savvy businessman he calls himself a woodworker, because people who don't think about it at all will get the right "feeling". He wants to evoke the feeling of master crafted furniture, of a legacy business that maybe was a craft passed down in his family, or from another craftsman, over 10,000 hours, of apprenticeships and practice. He does little to no joinery, or actual furniture making, creating an epoxy and wood slab and adding metal legs is no more woodworking than you putting together an ikea table. You front me the £20,000 I'd need to get and furnish a workshop with which to start a business like his and I will make my own YT channel. I'm not an ex-helicopter pilot with a shit-ton of money and a wealthy family to help me start a business.
I'm a Uk based subscriber to Blacktail Studios and have for a very long time enjoyed watching Cams content which he delivers with a very candid open honest approach and easy manner which makes him totally enjoyable to both listen to and watch. Its great he's been featured on this channel
Thanks for watching Andy. Cam is a really great guy. 😀Is this the first video you've seen on the upflip channel?
Just finished Cam’s online class and it’s worth every penny. I just bought my first piece of lumber and am about to begin my journey and I’m super stoked!!! 2 great TH-cam channels in one video
Nice, any sales yet?
I've been building boxes for 7 years and I want to change my focus to something where I'm not doing installs. I love wood, love finishing and love the look of a gnarly piece of burl or pretty grained wood with or without epoxy. Sounds like there may be plenty of business out there so I'm gunna be watching all your excellent videos. Thanks for putting this out there! I don't know what we would do without TH-cam, I learned a lot of my cabinetry skills and prevented many mistakes by watching other folks stuff...:)
Huge fan of cam's really cool to see him talking about his business on your channel. 👍👍
One of the best and most informative videos I've ever seen.
Thank you for your information you choose to share. You don’t hold back and that separates you from the average woodworker. Keep up the great work Cam. I always look forward to new videos from you.
I have been watching and learning from Cam for a couple years now. I think I joined his page with under 100K subs. Been a great ride to see him flourish and all the while teach his magic. Love this guy and his page and wish him all the success he deserves. Best part is his edgy and awesome comebacks to the TROLLS who feel the need to try to slight his work.. CLASSIC.
Don't know how the link ended up in my feed, but absolutely enjoyed the interview. I've seen some of the Blacktail videos, and am in a similar situation, although I maintain my "real" job, and still do wood/metal working as a hobby. You asked a lot of the questions I always wonder. Great show!
I had a phone consultation with Cam a couple weeks back about a custom desk project I'm working on. He was great. Super helpful and just as personable as you see him here!
So glad to hear this Allan. Cam is a great guy. 😀How's the project going now?
This has helped me so much! Thank you UpFlip and thank you Cam. So much great information! I’ve recently retired and have struggled with planning and direction. This has helped me to realize you just need to do it.
Great interview, been watching Cam for at least 2 years now. Started binge watching when I broke my clavicle and was laid up for a while. Keep it up Cam it's great to see how well you're doing from another channels perspective.
Absolutely incredible work. I want to note here, the level of craftsmanship that Cameron brings to his wordworking and additionally to video production, etc… is born out of the ability to apply deep learning to the things Cameron tackles. I’m going to project here, Cameron can correct me if I’m wrong but, being a pilot by career, he learned early on, how to immerse himself in learning to achieve that, and in the same art while flying. The key of deep learning, hes then taken forward to his other efforts with I must say, an inredible level of effectiveness. Bravo Cameron, in everthing you do. Perhaps, at some point you can do a video on what you know, about how you learned, all that you’ve learned and applied in your career(s) and life.
Can you elaborate on deep learning?
@@stanleythedoggy not just knowing or doing something but mastering it.
@@mikeg3950 Can you elaborate more? Is there some specific method/s they teach pilots?
Respect to Cameron and Blacktail for being so transparent.
Loved this interview! It gave a realistic view into Cam's business, the pitfalls and triumphs. Great tips on shipping products thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Pete. We appreciate the positive feedback. 😀 Have you checked out our latest video?
Cam isn't your typical woodworker. He's a perfectionist.
This is awesome. I'm also a wood worker. Carver, burner and turner. I started a business a yr ago and it's been booming ever sense. Nordic Wolf Custom Carvings has taken off way beyond my wildest dreams. I'm also a one man team like yourself. So it's nice to see others in the same position. Thank you for sharing this.
Whats your gross revenue if you don't mind?
@@marap4107 I haven't really even looked at my books an done the numbers. Everything is commission based word. Except a few things that have set prices. And mostly everything I do is freestyle, no format.
So good to see him on your channel. I’m knee deep in 3 resin tables at midnight. Funny I told a client 3 weeks for two massive tables I’m making for his coffee shop in NYC. I should have given myself more time!! Haha!
Great interview and very informative.
One thing: selling 15k worth of product is not the same as “making” 15k a month. That’s a deceiving title/topic, as Cam could be selling 15k worth of tables and actually losing money. After 28 years owning 2 businesses, revenue doesn’t pay the mortgage and taxes, profits do.
Much respect to Cam for taking the Entrepreneurial plunge and going for it!
Agree. I personally wouldn't quit my day job to gross $180K a year.
He mentioned his margins are 40-90% so you can't actually lose money while taking a profit.
exactly.
Great interview! Cam is so truthful and humble. Good job and thanks!
This was great to watch. I’m a woodworking pilot too but in the UK. Ive started selling stuff and though I’m not at Cams level yet I thought this was very inspirational. Great questions and answers! Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out to Cam! He is an amazing woodworker
We agree The Benston Woodshop! Thanks for watching. 😀Do you do the same type of Woodwork?
@@UpFlip I don't. I'm looking to get involved in more. Right now it's small stuff. You can see my IG under the same name if you would like.
Love seeing this channel continue to grow and evolve. Easy to see the work you guys are putting in to get better every video. Keep it up!
Los
I’m a forty year paramedic from SC who loves wood working. I very much enjoyed the information.
I loved both of your infectious enthusiasm which flowed effortlessly throughout your presentation. Hats off to you, camera, sound, and your editing team too. Lots of background life lessons, made me want to be a kid starting all over again, Thanks so much! Kind regards Keith.
What a wonderful comment Keith. 😀💖Thank you so much!!! We love working with Cam and hearing his business success story. He such a genuine person. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch. Have you checked out Cams other video on the channel?
@@UpFlip Thank you so much. I just watched it with my morning coffee and once again found your interview inspiring. I also have now signed up for UpFlip as well. Kind regards Keith
Blacktail Studio is my favorite woodworking channel.
So crazy. I only subscribe to a handful of channels. Happen to be subscribed to both UpFlip and Black Tail. Great interview!
This is wonderful to hear Devin. Glad we're all on the same page? 😉Should we do more businesses like this one?
@@UpFlip I also just subscribed. Thanks for your informative video. Cam is right, every business has its own approach. It might work in the USA, but much more difficult in my country Macedonia. However, thanks for the video.
I've been praying for a video like this. This has answered so many of my questions and concerns. Thanks guys.
From a financial perspective, selling a larger piece for $7-12K, even with 50-60% of that in materials, if you can then turn around and use off-cuts for a smaller piece to sell for $2-4K, leads to total revenue of $9-16K and expenses of $4-6K, or profit of $5-10K.
This was excellent. You asked all the right questions and some of them multiple times in different ways. I learned everything that I wanted from this interview. I’m a longtime fan of blacktail studio
Love your videos and this one was particularly interesting! I’d love to know what gear you guys use to shoot your shows that always look so good. In particular, what cameras are you using? Thank you!
They had quite the setup! Two cameras, one on gimbal, good audio too. Just a nice setup
This was a great video! Cam gave so many gems for starting a business, running a business, dealing with costumers and more. Super talented guy, I appreciate the video! Interviewer asked great questions too!
So true! Hope you learned a lot from him! 🙏
Whilst I enjoy and enjoyed this content and believe me, I get it, Its inspirational and shows us an insight and asks questions that I assume we'd all like to ask however, always remember to take this with a pinch of salt. This guys lives with the biggest walnut slab seller in the world on his doorstep, quite literally - would you say that building a business making tables out of walnut slabs would benefit from this? absolutely. its not like it was a POG factory instead. He was a full time EMS pilot, weather you agree or not, that's a pretty decent salary. 50-60k a year here in the Uk. Now yes, it's brilliant to completely switch and take up a new trade, takes a lot of risk, but financial risk? I don't think so - not for him. If he failed, will he loose his job, house, rent, etc?
My point is, things like this steer & clickbait people (including myself) to a "built from the ground up from nothing" style, and yes, you could argue he has, he bought a few inexpensive tools, to begin with, but this man, from what I could see only risked "not liking it".
Reminds me of that I.T Crowd quote "When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and 6 million pounds"
I love blacktail studios, have watched hours of his videos an take inspiration from it and this was very insightful, but they gloss over the fact he started his business in literally the most idyllic situation possible.
I have to agree.
That, and the fact that the actual woodworking is no longer the focus. It’s now about creating content to feed his social media. That’s a turnoff to me, makes him seem less authentic. I wish him well-obviously he is doing well-but it’s off putting to make it mostly about social media.
Thanks for sharing this great insight. I think we all would love to find that “dream job” and in todays internet world it’s easy to make things appear different then they are and you honed in on that. I found what you said more encouraging then this video.
@@annarichter4031 How does it make him lesss authentic? If you judge someone negatively for being on social media don't you find that hypocritical while consuming it? (Yes TH-cam is social media)
the podcast is simply awesome. Cameron is my favorite woodworker on earth, as well as the most inspiring person, professional, human being, to be like. Also from italy the audience is at least +1
I truly respect what Blacktail has built and celebrate his success, however I'm deeply concerned for the longevity of epoxy projects. I trained with a couple of the best woodworkers in the US and they strongly agree that wood movement makes river tables and similar projects likely to fail within a decade or two.
I do woodworking and stay away from them as much as possible. I've already heard from many people about furniture failure from so many social media woodworkers who only have a few years experience and just do what's popular. Epoxy separation is common as well as yellowing. Warping is probably the most common as the woodworkers don't let the wood dry down enough to be ready for working.
I like how REAL the dude is. Just like my dad, never using eye protection lol beautiful work, amazing talent
Cam is a straight up guy and is why its why i follow his occasional streams and videos posted. Ive binge watched for entire days just to sharpen my wood working knowledge. This guys work is at such a high level that i could only dream to be at one day. Lets give a hats off to the interviewer and photographer as well. For once someone asked all the right questions and in a professional manner. 👍👍
Love both your videos Love both watching both of you guys tremendous inspiration It would be nice if he hides an apprentice and kind of teaches like a younger guy to ropes and I think if he does that he'll be surprised at how much pressure it takes off him to run the business just a thought
Thank you Frank! We appreciate that.😀 Are you in the industry as well?
Watching bkacktail studio for a while... Such a down to earth guy
Gotta love him
Fantastic!!! You should feature us on an episode!
That's it! I'm quitting my job tomorrow and starting a woodworking business. 🙂
How to make 15k/mo woodworking......start with a high income career first.
Not true I started a painting business 3 years ago because I became a single dad of 3 boys and couldn’t afford a 9 to 5 pay check, 3 years later i did 1 exterior house for 34k my second highest was 22k and my 3rd was 18k those 3 jobs took my and my 2 guys 5 weeks, all are other jobs are between 8k to 12k non stop threw out the summer, now it’s winter and it’s cabinet season, an average cabinet refinishing job is 4 days to a week and can start around 4,200 to 8,000. But you got to hustle, advertise, network, know what your doing and get referrals. Not everyone wants to work 70-80 hours a week, 7 days a week eventually if you work hard at something and put everything in it it will pay off, some ppl know how to grind and work hard but don’t know how to run a business or advertise and market your business and that’s why they fail.
Its definitely helpful to have money to start or this much free time for sure. But many have started with nothing. Probably not as much growth or as quickly as his but doable for sure
This whole “must be nice” culture makes me sick. Stop making excuses and do the thing you want to do, envying someone who has made smart professional decisions isn’t getting you anywhere. It’s not about being set up financially, it’s about passion.
Hate your mentality
And how do you think he had this high income career?? Come on, this guy should be an example. He used his free time to do something else than going to the bar, developed his skills, in woodworking and social media,.. and it worked, he took risks...will you?
I have only one thing to say, "bravo"
And thank you for sharing and inspiring (that's actually two or thre things to say, I know...)
One of the best woodworking channels on TH-cam.
Suggestion- the continuous, irrelevant and super short b roll cuts y'all placed at every possible gap are quite disorienting. Maybe some relevant footage to what he's actually talking about next time?
I just found your channel, I have been watching Matthew Peech who is awesome. I am a nurse of 47 yrs will be 65 an a few days and want to get out of nursing. I took shop in high school, I have redone most of the interior of my home. I love woodworking and want to start as a side hustle to retire out of nursing. I have converted my garage into a woodworking shop and I getting ready. Thank you for your inspirations as well as Mr. Peech. You guys are awesome. God Bless
Ps. I live in Florida Space Coast, I can get you Palm trees. LOL
Age is just a number, Kelly! Never too late to start. If you're inspired to be like him, please feel free to check out our channel for more inspiration. We aim to lay out "blueprints,” so other people will be successful too. Best of luck! 👊
This may be my first comment on a TH-cam video ever; but I had to because of the quality of this content. The questions you asked, the pacing of the video, etc etc. This is some of the highest quality content I've seen on TH-cam. Instant subscriber. Thanks.
Man this guy is the real deal! Told nothing but truth the whole video. Insane work too!
I love videos like that. Excellent. You can tell how good it was by the number of ad breaks in it !!
I started watching Blacktail a couple months ago. I’m not a woodworker but his content is so amazing and therapeutic. I’m now ramping up to do my first table. I recommend purchasing his epoxy pour class.
That's amazing! Best of luck! 👊
I've got even more respect for you knowing you are a one man show. You edit your own video??? You are an inspiration!
Glad you love this video! Your appreciation means a lot to us and motivates us to continue producing content like this. Do you have a business topic you want to see next on the channel? 🤔
I've watched many of Cameron Blacktail videos and always enjoy his craftsmanship and beautiful tables. Nice interview!
Great video. We love Cam's work. The presentation is top tier. Straight forward, honest, and genuine. Great interview as well. Thanks guys!
Thanks so much! Your feedback means a lot to us! 🙌
I agree with admitting and correcting mistakes openly,
Adds integrity !!!!
I'm WATCHING this 3 times already...
Love wood and stone.
MAYBE MY NEW PROJECT TO START WITH AMAZING IDEAS WITH WOOD.
😁😁😁
Just stumbled upon Blacktail and really enjoy his channel. Thanks for sharing.
Really impressive interview. Like Cam, I'm an EMS Helicopter Pilot in Canada and have a similar schedule. I "dabble" in the woodworking craft during my time off and slowly buy tools as I need them but have a long way to go! Cam is correct when he said that he had to make a decision because his studies were starting to suffer and his business was probably becoming a distraction. In fact, I'm studying for my annual PPC right now and checked out this video during a quick 5-minute break that I needed. He's a true professional for recognizing and rectifying the situation by walking away from flying. You are very inspirational! Keep up the great work Cam!! You have one more Subscriber!
We appreciate you taking the time out to watch Rob.😀 Thank you. So glad you found this video inspiring and relatable. Congrats on all your wonderful success and keep up the great work. Thanks for supporting Cam and the Upflip fam. Should we do more videos in this industry?
Great info. I have been a furniture maker for 50 years or so. Am now retired and wanting to build what I want. No employees just me making art.
Probably smaller items that can ship easily. Thanks for the tips.
This is amazing John. 😀We'd love to see some of your work. What types of things do you like to build?
I've been watching blacktail for a few months now. Excited to watch this episode.
Cam is a total inspiration and a real gentelman
Thanks for watching Davinci!😀 That's nice of you! Have you seen any of his other videos?
So, in summary… Cam married the most amazing and supportive wife ever, and has been able to use his new found talent to make great furniture. Damn, my wife was an idiot.
Great interview with one of my favorite woodworkers. Thanks for showcasing Cam and his awesome projects.
Your wife will always be a vital part of the business, so treating her as a partner is important! 💪
@@UpFlip Cam’s wife, yes. My wife, Hell no. She stole as much money from me that she possibly could have.
Cam is who gave the confidence and inspiration to start my channel as well. Thanks again for all you do. Great job!
Wonderful Fill's Wood Work. 😀Do you do the same type of projects?
Cameron does beautiful work. He's impressive and is a true blue fellow.
I love his channel. He's doing it right he caters to his audience in the perfect way where it's not boring keeps you intrigued. I feel like his subs come from a community of like minded people who enjoy seeing things come from nothing
Thanks for the feedback jason. Cam is a great person. Should we have him back for a follow up interview?
This was an EXCELLENT video!!!! Great job guys!!!!!! asked and answered all the questions that most videos don't answer! Great Job!!!
I'm in Vietnam, but after watching Blacktail Studio's videos, it gave me the motivation to build my channel. I learned a lot from Blacktail Studio.
Excellent questions from UpFlip, and articulate insightful responses from Cam, amazing work, subbed!
Welcome to the Upflip family Keith. 😀👍💖Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback. Please let us know what type of content you'd like to see on the channel?
Best book...Short one too.... The "E" Myth.....perfect book for starting a business
I am NOT a youtube watcher! But Cam have transformed me totally. Not that I watch other youtubers but Cam... I love this guy, his tables, his sense of details and the tlking! And of course that he got that dog ,entlebuch mountaindog. And that well grounded fear of the Wife! One day when I get proper meticulouse ( I am a mess by nature) I will build a table myself!
G’day from Australia, Cameron is one top guy & it’s a pleasure to watch his TH-cam content as he’s very articulate & genuine but does great work 🇦🇺🍻👍
Been a big fan of Cam for a longtime. Great human being. This was a very cool perspective into Cam's realm. Thanks for the inside look.
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for your support and kind words! 👊
Cam’s work and channel is top notch! Great interview!!
I love this cuz this guy is doing hard work and getting paid for it, I love that we still reward art and hard work as a society
I got obsessed with Cam’s channel after watching this, and I’m sure I’m not alone either
This is really inspiring because I'm beginning my own wood working hobby/business journey! Thanks, this interview was great and Cam really gave it away in this segment. Thanks so much for so much info and experience!
I’ve been watching Cam for a while now, he seems like a very humble man. I think with the time and effort he has put in he deserves what he’s achieved.
We loved talking with Cam! Are you in woodworking, too?
