Here’s a link to the limited run of the Blacktail Studio brass hammer. Thanks so much to DFM and Hoffman for making it possible! blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/products/the-brass-by-blacktail-studio
-patch-|-no patch-| meh art is art mate. and there is no reason for it. in art school i was taught you dont have to give a reason "why did you do 'X' for your art?" its in the eye of the beholder. let them all guess 'why' or 'why not' you did it. take the real reason you did it to your grave and leave it at that. i personally think it looks good. id use it for a table, or post it up as a wall piece personally, but thats just me. just depends on how i have the room designed at the time. reading the comments "butchered" they forget, the piece of wood was already butchered when you got it in the first place. so maybe you are just improving upon it. someone somewhere is gonna like it. it just takes one person who really wants it then its sold, its not like you gonna sell that one piece to 100s of people. so **shrug**. a way i think you could improve is with contrast. if your main piece is in dark wood, prob go with a light wood to contrast the dark woods finish? so with the dark walnut maybe go with a birch or white oak, or even a buckeye burl. just something that will pull your eye from spot to spot making the grain stand out more. thats just my opinion as an artist and designer.
Nice hammer sadly the shipping to Australia would be a killer cost wise. Oh no shipping to Australia.
SHIPWRECK table
Goes with the patched theme. And the hardwork put in.
A name for the table.. Maybe something like.. The Tartan Table? tartan is just a synonym for patchwork but Tartan Table has a ring to it ( I know what tartan cloth is)
Patch for sure. Not for everything but looks great here and there.
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
I suspect that you have two types of viewers: those who enjoy the artistic aspects of what you do, and those who enjoy the process. I fall into the latter category, and absolutely loved seeing how you did the inlays. Great work!
im both type at once 😎
I am the third type - here for the witty humor.
3rd type, those who enjoy someone suffering working hard hehehe
I love both and yet have no experience
I love both
I wish I was 50 years younger and happened to find a teacher like you in a wood shop! I love, as does my husband, you videos. Have yet to watch one that doesn’t amaze me. Your sense of humor is up there too!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 bot
Your 10 minute deadpan bit about how sometimes a top needs filling had me in stitches. Reminds me of the time I was at a job site meeting, and the GC and the plumber were arguing about the piping for the sprinkler system, because they had a problem with the test tees. Apparently the plumber put his test tees too low, and he was arguing that they might have been low but it shouldn't have been an issue. Nobody laughed besides me, I thought I was going insane.
Found myself thinking “we still talking about tables here, Cam?” Haha
"I love all kinds of tops.
I love those big natural tops too.
I love these augmented tops.
I don’t gravitate towards the tiny tops that much."
[15:35]
"Recently did a big black top"
i'm just listening to it on the background while working then suddenly became curious why he is talking about tops and bottoms
I know why people hate this! I live in a cheap apartment and this looks like my bathroom door, which has patches on it to cover up where the drunks that lived here before me kicked or punched in holes. It cheapens the appearance! Fine, whole, solid wood with its natural grain and unsullied beauty is always more pleasing to the eye. You do lovely work and I always appreciate how you let other peoples creativity inspire yours (I also love your not-so-subtle-humor), so my vote is to always keep doing what inspires YOU. It all turns out amazing!
Couldn "ruining" a whole slab of wood just be another flex?
@@snealf013 Sure, it just depends on your perspective lol. Rich people can call this style "ghetto chic" and it'll sell like hotcakes!
@@intpleb4206 this is what I market my poorly made crap as, and it works lol, during lockdowns I had someone from bumfuck egypt (ok, scotland, but it's almost as exotic) inquiring about shipping costs. I'm in Poland. There's a sea in the way >
Haha wait so you don’t like it bc it looks like a wooden bathroom panel door? Haha like 2 wood veneer sheets with cardboard in the middle? Hahaha yea bro hahahaha it’s the same look with grains and all. Just different type of wood and thicker! This one just has boxes haha which literally zero panel doors have.
Yep, I feel the same way, not a fan of the patches, especially on a high quality expensive slab of Hardwood.
No patch. That line "Don't sell to the masses, sell to the classes" was hilarious. 😂
I don’t care what anybody says…I enjoy all the commentary and words in your videos.
I think "Glitch table" would be a good name; looking at this table it's like certain pieces aren't rendering right, with the grain going sideways or being the wrong color. I love it.
_That_ is a good name!
Like a glitch in the Matrix.
Wow good name
Reminds me of missingno from the original Pokemon that was a glitch
Patch. Tetris?
that's literally what I was going to say. you beat be to it.
Patch...I'm a nature photographer as well as a woodworker. One thing I've learned over the years is you can't please everybody. So, you please some people and let the others find something else that they DO like. At any rate, they're not wrong anymore than they're right. It's all perception. I think the table is beautiful and creative. Good job!
I can totally relate to that. I was a fine artist for over 35 years, but when I was starting out and going to galleries to see if they'd handle my work, I'd get responses like, "Do you paint old barns? They're selling really well, but you'd need to bring in at least 6 a month, or it wouldn't be worth our time to promote you." Well, I painted really interesting faces, of people that intrigued me, some really large and just the face. Definitely not for everyone, so I opened my own art gallery and painted what I wanted to paint! That's the only way to be true to yourself And Cam, it really doesn't matter what people say here, about patch or no patch, do what's in your heart, what makes you happy and proud and let's you sleep at night. You're a great artist/craftsman! I love watching you work! At one point I put my huge oak easel in the front window of my gallery and people LOVED it! Not only meeting the artist, but watching her work! I hope you get as much pleasure out of your audience as I got out of mine... and as much pleasure as your viewers get watching a talented woodworker make exquisite dining tables out of "the stuff people used to burn"! Do what makes you happy! And thank you for allowing us to watch these amazing creations evolve! Susan Keane
You can be the best chocolate ice-cream in the world, but that doesn't change the fact that some people just like strawberry.
@@davidramziz3200 ROFL 🤣. THAT IS SO TRUE !
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
@@davidramziz3200 Great analogy!
No patch. Your work as always is absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch. Thank you for letting me come into your shop and watch.
I think the inlays being perpendicular with slightly contrasting colors and figure, turned out very nice. The real reward comes when you hit it with that finish. I might have added in some varying sized round plugs of shell flame or fiddleback maple. I’d mix circles and squares and maybe overlap them randomly. A lot of one-of a-kind potential for sure. 👍🏻
Patch or no Patch. I think it would be cool if the patches were in a darker wood to make them stand out even more. It looks nice the way you did it, but maybe try to keep the grain of the wood in mind as you cut, so it's parallel to the cut. Somtimes it looks like your patches are not parallel to each other.
I second the darker wood, although the tigers-eye effect the inlays had was pretty cool too.
I had to smile at your literal interpretation of Cam's end of video instruction. 😁
Putting the grain perpendicular to the rest of the wood adds strength.
this is some good constructive criticism
Agree completely. And his dog looks racist.
I’ve been watching for this last year with my girlfriend. We try and put a blacktail studios video on before we go to bed at least once a week. I love watching for the craftsmanship, she always falls asleep before me because your narrating is “hypnotizing.” Thank you for being the happy balance for us. We both get something out of your videos.
I love watching you work, create, brainstorm, and finish these pieces! Also, of all the woodworkers, your commentary, sarcasm, transparency is great!! Since I found your channel, I have been on a binge. Ironically, I am not even into woodworking.
Dear Patch - the quilted look in the wood finish is interesting, modern, and pays tribute to design elements of the 70's. I love it.
The table ain’t for me, but with how many hacks there are on TH-cam, I really do appreciate the craftsmanship you put into your work.
Patch or no patch, one still has to admire the craftsmanship and time that went into making this table. I'll admit it's not my personal style, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. Great work!
😂The idiot Scammer below used the wrong fake name! They must have forgotten they were logged into their fake BourbonMoth account while watching a Blacktail video. Don't ever fall for those "Real..." accounts saying you won something, FYI. Good Job Tard! Keep up the brilliant work @RealBourbonMoth.
As a cnc operator i love seeing people work with hand tools, specially when people take their time to make something precise. It's like art to work with hand tools, and seeing peoples creativity and the mistakes they make is instructive and inspiring for me.
love when you speed up the hammering, always cracks me up😂😂😂
Patch: I thought I'd hate it, but did my best to keep an open mind and you won me over! I thinking blending the "stain" to help the colors balance was the perfect move, your risk paid a reward IMO! I'm sure it'll go for much more than $1!
That humour at 15:30 gave me very lock picking lawyer april fools video humour vibes.
I have never seen the patchwork in a table like that! Looks like a lot of work but I loved the result!
Something I’ve noticed every time I watch your videos is that I always learn something new and I love it😁
Cheers from Norway
Patch- I love it man. Unique and professional. I'm not a woodworker, just a guy who likes to see woodwork transform from start to finish. I like your videos because of your honesty in your commentary. You are truly a craftsman. Keep up the good work
I've been woodworking since I was 14 and I'm still trying to find my niche. I love the fact that you are so open with your processes, tangible, mental, and emotional. I'm really struggling to come up with "what to do" from one project to the next. I've been doing cutting boards, sold a few given away more as gifts. Your videos are very uplifting for someone who aspires to make woodworking almost a way of life. Thank you and I'll keep watching. By the way I think the patchwork is excellent! Anything that makes a person ask you "how did you come up with that" is validation of a job well done.
Best of luck. I'm 74 and have done woodworking since I was about 10 years old...I still haven't found a "niche." I've gotten to the point I just build things I want to see and then give them away because I've filled my house with "stuff" I've built.
Boone, I do hope you'll find your niche. A niche where you love what you are doing and is able to "make an honest living" (I think it's called when being able to pay your bills) and you'll find peace in your heart and mind accomplish that combination. ❤
I think the best way to get the patchwork thing to be really clean is to lean into the contrast. Like if you tried using darker woods and pairing it with maple pieces too. Then you could have three distinct colors between the table and the patches.
Yeah, when blending clashes... go for contrast. 👍
So you're saying he was too subtle in the end?
I have been binge watching U! OMG! I’m 66, female. I have never watch anyone do the work Ur doing. I know my Grandpa made furniture for the banks, during the depression. When I was old enough to appreciate what he did. I was around 10 yrs old. Wish I would have paid more attention. The tools U have (hand) are to die for. I could only dream. I love all the show. Never boring. U do make me laugh. Which is really a hard thing for me. Ty Janette
Patch I like it for some things. Definitely a personal option. I love looking at the wood grain so I wouldn't always choose the Patch design. However, the table looks great 😊
No patch. I really like how you listen to peoples opinions and continue on with the artist mindset that you are comfortable with. I continue to learn with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your skills with us here.
You motivated me to make my own desk. I did awful but it's motivated me to get much better lol. Thank you!
I grew up watching my father and his woodworking. Grew up loving it and talking to him about the oddities involved (and for being the voice in the room "that's slightly off"). You mentioned CNC routing vs hand doing it. I will always love the craftsmans way of doing it. Sure, fancy ways are just that and better tools are for the individual. Powered tools beat out sawing by hand when the time is right. Just like advanced tech.
This might be my favourite table you have made. Keep up the good work!
Patch. I absolutely in love with this table. I’d call it the quilted table. It’s so unique, and I really like the contrast of the shape patch corners, and the rounded legs and table edges. Well done!
This is actually a beautiful table top, in fact I think patchwork could be even more dramatic in variation of colour and still look amazing.
Patch , I really enjoyed the build of this, and when the table top was completed I really liked the uniqueness of the patches.
Great build , great voice, great editing.
You are an artist in your own right and like any work of art, your patched table it’s created for people who appreciate it. I honestly think it’s a fantastic piece
I can kinda understand why other people don't like the patchy looks but to me it looks fantastic. What you did was phenomenal and I enjoyed watching the whole video
I like the idea of the patchwork, would be cool to see it arranged over the entire surface with more patches. Thank you for inspiring videos!
A good place to use up small scraps of highly figured wood. A fantastic table.
Patch! I absolutely love your tables, you have such a creative eye and make everything you touch come out gorgeous. I want to try so much of what you do, ive been wanting to make an epoxy table for so long, and will get your virtual class once i have a garage to work in. Im currently in an apartment in SE portland so im very limited on what i can do. Keep the videos coming. I watch every single one to the very end. Thank you!!
patch or no patch: I love the table. Its gorgeous!
Patch or no patch, I love your end results. I may not like some of the aesthetic choices, but I love your workmanship. Keep doing whatever patches, bowties, epoxies or natural voids make you happy and I'll keep happily watching!
This is the best looking table I've seen so far on your channel.
Patch I've recently found this channel and going through all your videos. Loving it. I have no background in woodworking or even watching woodworking. I just like the humor and the soothing videography. Keep it up!
I actually really dig the rounded edges, they look slick and I bet they have a nice feel to them. I think that sometimes they way a piece of furniture feels is overlooked
I'm honestly fall into camp no-patch, but this project is still an impressive display of craftsmanship.
I unfortunately don't have the space (or time!) to take on this sort of craft, but I do love to binge your videos once in a while. They are very relaxing, and satisfying to watch for those of us wanna-be makers.
Thanks for posting!
Patch indeed! Awesome work Cam. Haters gotta hate. But youre not a hater, youre a doer. Just keep doing what you do!
I honestly can't understand how people could dislike the patched look so strongly. I think it's classy and just outright visually stimulating.
I wasn’t sure about the patchwork initially, but I think with the finish it comes together beautifully 🖤
Same! I was really skeptical, but I loved the finished table. It definitely feels high end but also something that I wouldn't be afraid to let a family around either.
Patched table looks amazing, I'd call it something along the lines of "Glitch"(The name would've been perfectly suited if the table be in green & purple, something futuristic like), great job!
I agree with that name, I was thinking "Texture Glitch" but "Glitch" works as well.
Glitch is good , it fits.
Patch. . .
Loved the finished table. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
Patch! Using this to deal with imperfections, plus adding extra design features, is a total win. I like the patchwork effect. It showcases your craftsmanship, and creates a truly unique tabletop.
Patch! First, let me say thank you. You’ve literally changed my life. It is solely your videos that inspired me to turn my hobby in to a business. My daughter and I have never been happier. Second, the chisel shots…. Yeeeeaah, those were crazy satisfying! Third, you nailed it with the brass hammer. I’ll have to wait until the next round, but I’m looking forward to getting one. On the subject of products, keep it up, never mind the haters that don’t like to be “sold”. All your recommendations are spot on and the majority of us end up buying those products at the end of the day anyways. To me, you deserve to be paid for your work and many of us will be proud to support you and use a product with your brand on it. One thing you may want to consider is having a sample size that you offer a huge discount on. Customers appreciate it, and it’s a great way to get people hooked. Nothing like some good ol N3 withdrawals to drive business. Anyways… if you’ve made it this far in my comment I’d like to give you a little bit of credit (LOL) by doing exactly what you asked and giving you feedback on the patches. I really like the concept. On this particular table I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I feel like it would be more striking to me if it looked a bit more “intentional”. Ugh, this sucks to put it this way, but it almost looks like you were trying to cover something up but couldn’t quite match the color. However, if anyone will make it spectacular, it’s you. Personally, maybe try larger groupings of the patches that trail away in a slightly more linear pattern. Like throwing a handful of grass in to a stream. I think matching the direction of the grain yet using more contrasting colors would draw the eye and have a better flow. Have you thought about doing something like a crack/split in the crotch filled with epoxy as a kind of starting point for a bunch of inlaid patches that follow the direction of the wood pattern as if being pulled along by the flowing epoxy? I definitely think you’re on to something. I’m intrigued. Who know, maybe I’ll even start on an “INLAID INTENTIONS” table myself. Thanks again Cam!
I really liked the subtlety of his design, but now I want to see a table like what you described! What an incredible centerpiece that would be! I don't do any woodworking myself, I just love seeing what creative people do with their preferred medium 😁
I thoroughly enjoyed what he did with this table but I definitely would love to see how your idea would come out too! If you decide to do it definitely post it. I’d love to see it!
Patch or not to patch . . that is NOT the question . Personally I'm on the fence about patches but you did a fantastic job presenting the option and that's really a woodworkers best tool . Options and an open mind to their use keep us moving in new directions and avoid the all too common proverbial ruts we tend to find ourselves in . Thanks for your continued pursuit of perfection .
Patch. I really loved the patchwork. Especially with the stain. Its soooo pretty.
I've never been interested in woodworking in my life, yet I opted to watch your video instead of study for my exam tomorrow
patch, easily one of my fav things youve put out, firm believer in atypical styling. I would even say that maybe you can lean in to it harder with a more visually distinct patching wood, the ripple effect was absolutely incredible.
Band-aid table! Love the soft edges too
I think that the patchwork turned out really well and it was really noticeable with the finish
Patch. I love watching content like this. I’m an almost 70 year old woman, so I’m probably go into making my own tables, but really enjoy watching you do it❤
No patch for me, but I think it's really cool technically. If you want to continue the artist theme for the patchwork table, you could call it the Mondrian, he made the square abstract paintings lots of people know.
Patchwork is perfectly imperfect. The quarter round edge doesnt match the square lines just like the patches stick out as different, which i love. Mismatching the grain brings an extra layer of texture.
one of my woodworking instructors once told me something that has always stuck with me. "It's okay to do patchwork... but the key is to make flaws and mistakes appear to be done on purpose and should never look like coverups." This is why I imagine people have a problem with your table. If the patches had oblong (more natural) shapes instead of squares and rectangles, they would have blended into the piece as a whole much better. I still think your workmanship is wonderful, but thought I would share advice I once received from the best.
Patch! Man this turned out pretty cool. It’s different and unique and the way you put your spin on it makes a huge impact on its success. I really like the combination of all the figured wood patches creating more depth and movement.
15:18 Instagram gives us unrealistic ideas of how a slab should look 🤣🤣🤣
Patch! I love woodworking and have done quite a bit myself. I love the variety and uniqueness of this table! Thank you for doing what you do!
Patch, definitely
Dude!!! I love the patchwork so much!
No patch. In my opinion, but I always come back and watch your projects through to the end. I love that you are not afraid to take a risk and do something outside of the norm, that’s how all great artist become recognized, they create masterpieces that go “against the grain”.
As someone who's learning to become a woodworking artesan, your videos are very inspiring, educational and just overall fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
I really like this channel. I'm not a woodworker but I really enjoy listening to you tell a story about the projects you are working on and... I learn something in the process. Thank you and keep up the good work.
"patch" great work man. Looks amazing
patch! love the patch work! the grain direction you randomly used really gives this a unique look. each time you look at this table you see something new. this is what woodworking is all about! thank you for sharing.
patch, I'm genuinely shocked by how good it looks. It's such a happy table. The patches make it look so much more interesting as an art object.
Patch I like all the stuff you do. Woodworking is a way to show the world that this is your mark
I like the patchwork and the fact that you use some highly figured wood for them I think it adds visual interest to the table
As for the name I think this table reminds me of a 'collage.' All the elements overlapping and complimenting each other to come together in a much bigger picture like you do in scrapbooks or yearbooks. All the details add their own unique aspect, but as a whole they lend to each other a cohesiveness that I really like. I love Japanese woodworking and joinery so this table was actually very appealing to me.
Patch! I absolutely love the table top. The layered patches give the feel of a favorite jacket that's been repaired many times over the years, and the round edges have the nostalgic feel of furniture from my childhood. The two together make this feel like HOME.
I’m an artist (photographer) and honestly, loving the patch! 👏💓
I never stop learning I've been a painter contractor 40 yrs I love picking up all the little tricks you're never boring
No-patch. I wanted to love it and I so appreciate the complexity, creativity and effort to bring about this look.
I would like to see maybe one red patch out of acrylic just to give it a pop (no other patches on the table or desk).
So appreciate ur devotion to your craft as well as your generosity in letting us in on the secrets.
Patch. The patches you created are on that fine line of being noticeable, yet not detracting from the beauty of the final results. Watching you reminded me of all the times I watched my mom patch my dad's jeans, which is an art in itself. My parents were very frugal and reused and repurposed so many things because they lived through the Depression and this made me think of the many ways that people living then would create beautiful things through necessity. The table makes me think of the strength of the people that lived through The Great Depression.
I had my share of patched clothes growing up. Now I play with patches making quilts.
Patch, this is the first ever video i watched by this guy and it was great
Alright man, I'm gonna say it, you are the best woodworking youtuber out there! I love how you can make something absolutely beautiful out of what most people would see as junk. you have a hilarious sense of humor, you don't have a foul mouth and have really inspired me in my woodworking journey! thank you so very much and keep doing what you're doing! much love from Buffalo NY! 👍👍
also...patch all the way!! 💯💯
Honestly I was not expecting to like the patchy look. But you, sir, have done it again. It looks absolutely beautiful after the finishing touches!
Gotta tell the dog story!! Not a huge fan of the look, but have mad respect for the process. I love adding bowties to my projects because it feels really good to pull it off. So to go through this process, adding all those "patches"....is really impressive. Good job!!
Always good to account for taste. Sometimes we're not gonna like how something looks, in our own work and others', doesn't necessarily mean it's not good stuff.
Patch. Your work is amazing so I think table is stunning.
My Grandfather - whom I wasn't able to meet in my live, because he died shortly before my birth - was a master carpenter. Allthough we never met, I also just LOVE Wood as working Material and learnd a lot from my dad, who in turn learned it from his dad. Neither my dad nor I are in woodworking (because of money and space), but I Love to watch you guys working with this wonderfull material ... and whenever I have the chance I try it myself ... mostly with handworking tools or just a dremel. Maybe I would have become a carpenter if I met my grandfather .... I think I would.
Patch or No Patch - I’m digging the Mondrian Cube style. Someone else said it but it would be awesome to see other woods blended in. Dramatic contrast would be stunning. Great job!
Ya I was hoping they would actually pop out more would be really unique
Patch, I dig it! As with most of my own projects in wood, it’s the finish that sets it apart. Love the work, the demonstrations, and the nano finishing. Great job!
for the patchworking, it’s your project. if you think it looks cool, go for it! do whatever makes you the most satisfied with your works
Patch … I’m a fan of character, every inlay/patch makes the piece of art unique. One of a kind! With each of your videos I learn something new … thank you for being you!
Patch. Love how the table turned out. Love the soft edges to it as well.
Great job I genuinely loved the table also you could call it pat for patch working idk.
Respect for doing what you wanted to do for years despite people complaining about it. I find the design interesting since I don’t see pieces of wood like that! If you really want to do something and people complain about it I think you should do it anyway. Which is what you did, so great job on this video!
Edit: watched the rest of the video and saw the part where he said that he makes a lot of stuff that people hate. Couldn’t respect this guy more.
Patch or no patch. That desk is incredible! The patches are just subtle enough to keep you looking for more. It seems like a good way to save a slab that other people would see a fire wood.
Who cares if people don’t like it Cam! You continue to challenge yourself through this process and show real growth in your abilities as a woodworker. Let them hate, most of them can’t do what you do!
Patch, and I completely agree, Walter. I'd also point out that the rounded corners and edges help mitigate the "boxiness" of the inset repair patches. Great job, Cam.
I may not ‘get’ the patchwork look aesthetically, but I thinks it’s cool that you tried it. I am always happy to watch you work and listen to you ramble. 🙂
love the patchwork! adds a layer of uniqueness to yhe already unique slab, but also shows the precision and artistry of the woodworker. Haters are lame
Patch... I think the patchwork looks great. You did it for the right reason which was to rid the wood of knots and voids... Great job, beautiful table...
I love your patchwork SO much, that I think you should call it the Kintsugi Table - which means “golden repair”. Although it comes from the Japanese custom of repairing broken *pottery* with gold, the general idea is that, as a result of your efforts, you’ve created a piece of art and something that is stronger and more beautiful.
Here is a great explanation of the concept (I am quoting from an NBC, Better by Today article that you can google if you want to read the entire thing): “built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design.
