How to make an epoxy dining table. I get a lot of questions about how much my tables cost, and how much it costs to make one. So I'll put all that info out there in this weeks video! The slab cost $1000, this amount of epoxy retails for just under $1000, a custom base like this one costs $1500, add in another $700 for consumables and shop rental time and that totals $4200 and sold for $10,000 after about 60 hours of work. You can definitely do this cheaper though. Less epoxy and a cheaper base would be a good starting point. But I hope those numbers get you started!

"I'm a sell out that's all I ever wanted to be..." That's an instant thumbs up. Ok on to the rest of the video.
Little honesty is good now and again
@@BlacktailStudio Yes!
And yes!
The other could be about getting a wife with OCD... also worth a thumbs up.
@@BlacktailStudio You're actually not even a sell-out. A sell-out would be promoting something you didn't use or trust. This is just solid advertising lol.
10/10 for the table
11/10 for being generous with your knowledge and teaching other people to do what you get paid to do.
Salute to you, champ.
Considering he makes more making videos than tables, there is a reason he is generous with knowledge.
@@codycast you have no idea how much money this couple makes from you tube or making tables or flying helicopters or editing or whatever they do!! BE HAPPY FOR SOMEONE!!!!!! They seem to be happy. Mind your own business. Piece out 🇺🇸👌👍✌️
@@codycast I’m pretty sure that these people have their house in order.
@@mike5162 uh he says in his videos that he makes more from TH-cam than woodworking.
Settle down. I’m not attacking anyone here. Just pointing out there is a reason he is being “generous” with his knowledge. Its how he makes $
Nice job. Just hope whoever uses it doesn’t hide it with a table cloth.
😂
Transparent one
That would be a crime
People who buy a table like this don’t even own a tablecloth
- Hey, how's the table I've made for you.
- Perfect, here is a photo.
- *Crying face*
This is truly an outstanding channel. I have no desire to make an epoxy table, but I am nevertheless impressed and inspired by this man's attention to detail and transparency. He's the essence of a creator and a true credit to youtube. I'm watching all his vids so he gets paid.
a year ago but still interesting. thanks for this entertaining making process of an expensive wood table
Succeed
Sehat selalu cak Budi
Most impressive. The character of the wood when finished is amazing.
Thanks!!
I'm sorry. Who can be offered the wooden canvases shown above? I can find a lot of them.
I love that you actually respect your clients and viewers rather than doing anything to get more and more money. It makes it so much nicer to watch and learn from you.
T, and I have to say that I love how honest and thorough you are. The humour, the attention to detail, the vast amounts of knowledge that you share, and even not being afraid to share how much these cost, how much you make and sell them for. Now I'll go watch another video of yours!
chris. this is my favorite table of yours. that base is so cool and elegant and I love that you don’t keep secrets about your process-just hard work.
i can't be the only one that would pay to work with him right?
he clearly knows what he is doing and i would learn so much
Awe thanks
It's incredible when an ordinary board turns out to be a masterpiece! I respect your work. I wish you good luck and inspiration!
Ngl the slab cleanup/bark removal is my favorite part of your videos. It's so satisfying
The finish on this table looks perfect. I can almost feel it from just looking at it. Great job.
That table is gorgeous! I absolutely love it, the final reveal took my breath away! Stunning!
That's gorgeous! Walnut is so distinctive.. it has that crazy, swoopy almost trippy grain pattern. And so hard and dense... And heavy, lol as we got to see!
Excellent work.. and video!
This is the third of your videos I'm watching and every table looks better than the previous one. You really make an amazing product, I love the care you put into it, it really shows into your finished items. Congratulations!
I love it, I've leaned a tone going to try the same. Will use Elgon Teak wood, very good pattern but a tough wood even for machines when dry.
That is a work of art , it will stand proud in someone’s house for centuries
Thanks Mark, I sure hope so!
@@isaackvasager9957 - Thanks, sunshine.
Blacktail Studio actually how long do you expect to last? Would epoxy hold up to being outside in the sun most time? I’ll have to check out your blogs out. Lots to learn for me
@@isaackvasager9957 - I don't know. I just can't imagine spending what these tables cost and not keeping it "forever." The walnut and black tables seem like they might be time-proof, but I do agree that the bright blue "river tables" would start getting old to me pretty quickly. Those ones actually look borderline tacky to me from the start. But the typical blacktail studios table with black epoxy filling around walnut seem more classy than trendy to me.
@@damienwills8658 - Most epoxy is not UV stable. For instance, the manufacturers of marine epoxy will tell you that you must coat it with marine varnish or paint for exterior applications.
I had to look up "Gandy Dancers" and found it had a rich history in the railroad, a form of transportation I truly love. Thank you.
I like the way you shook off being crushed by the table, a laugh will go a long way towards healing and regaining your dignity. Cheers! Great video.
thats such an amazing table. i cant imagine how you see an idea in your head and you bring it to life.
Thanks Russ!
Max- I’ve been watching basically all the build videos over the past week since I subscribed and I realized that the reason is because despite being completely out of my price range I find myself thinking “I want to get one of these tables for myself.” So I’ve essentially just become a kid in a candy store through my phone for wood/epoxy tables.
I am adicted to watching your videos. I am niw one of the ancients, but during the 70s my husband and I used to do woodworking in a very small way. In those days, of course, there were very few products available, and boy, would he have had fun these days, using all these products.
Your work is amazing.
I’m so close to attempt my first table, you make it look so easy. That’s the sign of a true professional .
I’ve just literally watched this video clip and was really impressed with everything you did.. and how simple you made it look 👌keep this video’s coming cheers Lee 👍🏻
Thanks lee!
This is great! You should pitch these to any mountain hotel especially the ones with a bit of archetonic flair.
Good idea!
David McIvor
Just wanted to say thank you.
I learned so much from your video.
It was one of the best, concise, thorough, detailed videos that got right to the point with dozens of great tips. You are an expert craftsman & teacher!
I am just amazed at how beautiful it is. and thank you for breaking all the things down!
“Selling out” is often another word for a good business practice. I’m sure you’re in the biz for the love of the craft but it’s the $$ that makes a business grow and ...... feed your family. I’ll be sure to use this use this product as my projects evolve. Love your vids!
Thanks Paul! And well said!
Pues a mi me gusto la mesa y las fotos tambien, felicidades.
Saludos desde Austin, TX.
@Dale Page Pues yo si te endiendo.
Haces un trabajo muy bonito con esos arboles.
Saludos desde Austin, TX
Jim here and that is a spectacular piece of craftsmanship! The more I see of walnut and epoxy tables, the more I like them...and I'm surprised this only cost 10 g's....the amount of work alone, the labor costs, was worth that! Excellent!
I'm usually impressed with people who can do such things. But I'm always amazed at people who do them, then put a good video together showcasing it! Takes a lot of forethought. Good job.
Ya! Did a coffee table back in the early 70's using an old damaged well used wood crate. And still in use today.
Love that
Looks amazing, always a joy to watch the process.
Thanks!
Emily, I absolutely love watching your videos, they help keep me sane while I do a task that I absolutely hate 😂 but I've always been fascinated by woodworking and thoroughly enjoy the content you put out!
Absolutely beautiful job. I think with the workmanship and detail you put into your tables they are worth every dime of what you charge for them.
Hi Cam, I saw your video as it popped up in my recommendations. I really have to say that your wood working skills are great and you have great eye for detail. I'am a woodworker myself, mainly wooden flooring. Most of the floors I sell and make are finished with Rubio Monocoat. Just like in you I am really impressed and enthusiastic with the performance of the finish and sealing capabilities. Through my personal experience I would highly recommend using Rubio Woodprep before you apply the oil. Woodprep opens the pores of the wood and therefore the wood gets a more even and better saturation with the oil finish.
As a test you can try it on a piece of scrap wood. Sand the scrap wood like would do on one of your tables, clean half of it with Woodprep and finish both halfs with the Monocoat oil. I think you would be amazed how good the result is with Woodprep.
Good luck and keep up your beautiful work!
I prefer the satin finish to the gloss finish to be honest, looks more modern
Satin finish is more forgiving than the high gloss and more time saving!
This is the most beautiful wood work that I have ever seen!!!. I wish I have the knowledge this man has to build such a perfect table!
Beautiful table, nice job. I worked a short time for a furniture maker who made wood panels and various other pieces of furniture for famous people including movie stars and the like. I realized very quickly that I wasn't cut out for this type of work. But watching him do his craft was a neat experience.
That final piece is epic... ABSOLUTELY Beautiful.
Thanks!!
Beautiful work ! I really enjoyed watching your progress.
Re: sheets for backdrop photos. Wrinkles are always seen.
Try using black velvet. Velvet will absorb light. Less chance of seeing any wrinkles. Cheers!
Thank you a beautiful piece of wood well done.
Way back in the seventies I used to get big wire spools from PA bell and used whiskey kegs cut down to size and filled with sand for a base. Made the first one for me. It was a big one, sat 10 to 12 folks. Then several more till we found another Victorian to remodel.
Love the time you put into your work. Wood and epoxy makes beautiful pieces.
7:00 I love how you manage to squeeze all this information in such a short video, easier to focus and take away as much as possible
I try!
I really liked the video, and just when I wanted to ask about cost of materials in the comments, I checked the description - and there it is, all the info I wanted to know, and more! So well thought.
That's is one insanely beautiful table. Heck, that transcends table. That's a work of art.
Wow, thanks!!
That is correct. :-) Anyone can buy a table anywhere but, THIS....... not so much.
Price is as beautiful as the table itself :)
It’s easy to make! DIY
Wow, this is beautiful!! I loved all the tricks you come up with too to help the process. Just wonderful ♡♡
Great work, love the base! I too absolutely LOVE Rubio monocoat! Its by far and away my favorite finish, hands down.
I'm Michael and I watched the whole video! I think your calm and clear attitude while building this piece came through in this piece. I know a lot of people think black resin is a bit ominous, but I really liked what you did with this one, it looks fantastic and I actually think it looks regal. I also just uploaded a video I shot last year of my biggest resin table, which is small by comparison to yours, but I am very happy with how it came out! Keep up the great work and Stay Creative!
Awesome, thanks!
Joe here Cam. Yes, I would like to see a video on the placement of C channels. Another great table. For new viewers, you need to binge watch Cam’s other videos and you will see all the processes come together. This video is like a 400 level class in college and it is you ur first day. Plus I recommend buying items that you need through the links Cam provides. Just a small way to help this craftsman out. Plus, I recommend to make a “sanding glove”, I wish I would f known about this years ago. Thanks for all you do Cam, stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Joe! Hope everyone listens!
@@BlacktailStudio another vote for the C channel video
@@Grengis agreed, i don't even know what a c channel is
Dito on the placement of C channels. Can't support amazon though, a truly evil company. Wish there were more decent ways for you to earn a living than linking to that, though I understand why you do it. Thanks for the videos, and keep up the great work!
Luc here, another vote for the c channel placement.
This craftsmanship surpasses the threshold into Art, the perfection to details is what takes it there 🙌
Wow, the finished table is a gem and something you must be proud to have in your portfolio. Amazing the ground you have covered in less than 15 minutes. This is certaining your calling as you have it nailed down tight.
Why am I watching this at 3 am, the day of one of my final exams lol
😂
That's what's average students timing to love watching 😂
At 4
Maybe showing u what u should be doing instead? Hmmmm?
Cause it’s ridiculously addicting!
Albertine here. "Get a wife with OCD", made me laugh pretty hard! I like it to see how the tables get so smooth and shiny(ish). And I'm always amazed by the grain of the wood when it's being buffed.
Thanks bud! And she’s pretty helpful
Lol
Beautiful looking table. Just getting into the epoxy resin as a hobby and some upgrades around the house. I appreciate the diy tips.
man, this is so skilled and a beautiful creation. impressive for a life's work
"Geta a wife with OCD". There is another kind? I thought that came standard. :-). Beautiful work. I love watching what you come up with.
It’s like power windows. Most all of them have it. But can get a fleet model without
It's not that Wife's have OCD it's just we are lazy bastards
I'm sorry. Who can be offered the wooden canvases shown above? I can find a lot of them.
12:20
That’s a palm router, excellent piece of kit man
Ok!
Thank you for sharing so much “secrets” in wood works. Defiantly an eye opener for me.
Just discovered your channel tonight and I love it. Fantastic informative videos. It’s great to watch the progress of each project with detailed explanations and commentary. Love seeing the finished products of course too. Such great workmanship. 👌
Nothing like a man that's true to himself.
Get a wife with OCD - ✅
Seriously, that is amazingly good work!
Love the work. It's your videos which drawn me to this. Just started yesterday with small epoxy products, but will move to bigger products slowly and steadily. Thanks for motivating me. Love from India.
I always watch the entire video when it comes to this kind of wood Work !
Amazing work of Art... I am trying to learn so I can make my own, since I can't pay that much money for a table, but boy do I want one! Love how descriptive you are. Thank you for a well produced, timely, and informative video. Cheers!
Thanks James!
Wow,, mind blowing.
You're officially my new favorite channel. Love the content you put out! Keep em coming 👌
WOW, this table turned out absolutely stunning!
Thanks!
8:24
100% been there.
Right
Your tables are beautiful and your teaching is excellent. Thanks for being real!
Ash,
These videos are so enjoyable to watch and the tables are defiantly something I'm going to save up for.
"This is a one-man shop"
Aww man that line is a life lesson!
Thanks bud!
I'm sorry. Who can be offered the wooden canvases shown above? I can find a lot of them.
Amazing craftsmanship. You are a true artist, sir. Regarding sponsorship: Go for it!
Love watching shows like this. Great peace of ART.
Great job!! Love the passion and enthusiasm you project with your video and narration. I especially like that you can speak honestly and concisely and that's what make your video great!
Best regards from Malaysia!!
If I need a new trade I now know how to make tables as well as ball bearings, linen, candles, shoes, etc. And I only popped on youtube to listen to a song! 5 hours later!
same here, I am busy watching a vid for an AWS project and somehow I am watching woodworking vids, hahahahaha
BEST TH-cam COMMENT EVER!
These videos are Amazing, very well done and finally, someone with a voice I can listen to :) All this is way beyond my abilities but still love watching :)
Love that Linda
This is my favourite of all the tables I have seen so far
I'm speechless, art comes in many forms.
I liked the wrinkles in the back drops, show character, product so rough can be made to perfection. Leave the drop clothes as they are. Perfect
I am in absolute awe, that 1 man can do all of this heavy duty lifting, positioning, & yet be sssoooooo precise, to make an accomplished machinist blush. Unbelievably gorgeous table!
You are so far out of my class and I don’t have the tools, however I do have an ocd wife. I love your work and your tables. On this particular job I didn’t care for the legs but the table was so beautiful. You are a true craftsman, and that is so appreciated in today’s world. Stay safe my friend!
Hi, Terry here, love your work, really love your sharing all your process! Thank you! I'm also from Oregon, over here on the Eastern side. Thanks again keep up the awesome work! Be blessed.
That there IS a $10,000 table! Beautiful. absolutely beautiful.
I cannot tell you how Gorgeous that table looks without swearing !
Swear away
Dan W. Great tips and tricks. I've always wanted to build one of these and you give me the confidence to get it done. Thank you.
I’ve been watching your videos consistently and I’m really loving the knowledge you actually share!
My name is Dan Schappell and I am from Reading Pennsylvania. I love the look of your finished product, which definitely shows your eye for detail. And I am sure that you are correct about your wife having OCD and not letting anything less than perfect leave your shop. I am quite OCD myself , and I could imagine if I were to have a wife that was also OCD What I love the most is the trick that you showed about gouging out the holes that need to be filled before filling them. That is an excellent idea, as well as quite innovative , if I might add that. And also, I must say that I like what you said about being a sellout, because I had always had the outlook and held the stance that I would only become a sell-out for something that I feel is worthy of me becoming so and being called as such.
I appreciate that!
nice table. He does the grinding in his driveway? his neighbors must love that.....
The do 😊
Where do you live where neighbors get upset that your doing something in your own driveway??
@@TERRORoftheLORD anybody with ears or where houses are in close proximity. Sanders aren't that loud tho tbh
@@TERRORoftheLORD Some of us have semi-detached houses and some people don't even have driveways. His workshop is bigger than my house. We're not all made of money. Or we live in countries that don't have lots of space. I do have room for my 4x4 on the drive, but only for that and the recycling/rubbish bins.
Omg that’s the most beautiful table I’ve ever seen. Kudos to you man
Love the tables, keep it going. You earned my sub. If I never make an epoxy wood table I have already learned some new tricks from your videos that I never thought of. Thank You
I wish that I could afford this table. It looks stunning and elegant you did a great job.
make one, he is showing you how t make it
Thanks so much, I’d love to make you one Simon
@@BlacktailStudio thanks.. a thought that counts :-)
My dad had the same problem flipping large metal gates, he fitted an electric winch in a track on the workshop ceiling.
you are a phenom in your craft, much respect to you and your creativity , good job man.
That is gorgeous! I love wood and resin combined!!

Matthew:
This is so awesome. Been wanting to do the charred wood table myself but I think I am still not capable of doing so.
Just wondering what your thoughts on my new idea. MDF base, seal it with sanding sealer then have a resin pour all over it. I've seen people doing it as a portrait but I think it will be gorgeous as a table. Any ideas who I should do the sides?
Oh man, not sure!
Charred wood tables look nice but only with a soft wood like wite pine and such. Dont ever do it to walnut it looks horrible and you are baisicly ruining the wood. Also would not recommend epoxy and mdf. Mdf is what ikea uses for there funeture to keep it cheap. it does not hold up well long term. Atleast do pine or even ply wood if you are trying to keep the cost down while keeping durability. Just my thoughts.
You could also do test pieces so you aren't using a lot of expensive materials. This is what scrap wood is for, so I've been told.
CAPTAINBUCKETS S .
Tom- I really like watching your videos. The walnut is such a beautiful wood. The table turned perfectly.
Im Quincy. I love this table. Im going to keep watching cuz i want to start making tables myself. Its been something that ive wanted to do for a while now so thank you foe the good work and the attention to details.
I prefer this gloss, more is just distracting and makes the wood less visible
Thanks!
