@@BlacktailStudiocan i share u my table design idea that i think would look great..on your next project or video,can u build a table and inside the table put a wood shape design like a tree and use green color epoxy for the leafs of the tree..can you please do that if you have the time or if you are interested..thank you for all yours beautifull wood working design videos..😮
@@Fergus_Nov_17 That would be kinda cool. An actual design built into the surface? Although to be fair he did say his 'art' skills aren't very good, so maybe that'd need an artist's help.
Rescue: The first "rescue" term my genius wife came up with took her 2 seconds, and it was REPOXY. Sounds like recycle, reuse, and rescue, but it's a brand new word. What a fun project, Cam !! "Scott the video guy" is perfect and should remain his name forever. :)
I did professional wood working for 30 years and I would say... the trait of a true craftsman was how well you fixed your mistakes. Bravo on having a real life portrayal of building something with all the challenges shown on the video. I love this top as well , beautiful depth of colors and figuring. Thanks!

I like how Scott has been promoted from just the video guy to one of the key materials in the shop. You find him on the shelf in between the walnut and the epoxy ready for filming. Just think about it. Your great Scott!
I m a 73 year old Grandma who absolutely loves watching your show! Thank you so much for the many hours of entertainment! Your wife’s word is good but I think you should refer to it as …. ENCORE… It’s beautiful enough to be called back to the limelight over and over again through many generations! Keep up the good work and may God bless you!
As soon as I saw the crack in the epoxy, I was reminded of the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery known as Kintsugi - using a special lacquer that's been dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum to glue the pieces back together. And I think this idea perfectly fits your idea of rebranding epoxy tables as a form of rescuing the wood or reusing it, because the purpose behind Kintsugi isn't to fix a teapot or a bowl, but to take something that was an every day object and give it new life as a piece of art that's unique because of its flaws.

At 26:40 whilst you're curing the UV coat, the epoxy fluoresces a bright blue at the edges of the wood. Wonder if you could recreate that effect in normal light and make a "atoll table" where the dark epoxy transitions to a bright blue at the edge of the wood. Would be awesome, but probably very VERY difficult.
I think the only way to do that is to make multiple extremely thin layers and let them cure long enough to apply the next one - and then you have to start progressively mixing in black epoxy so that it's a gradual darkening rather than immediate. The amount of effort would be immense - though possibly less so than the jeans table was.
I didn’t even notice that at first but that is definitely a cool effect. Maybe it’s possible to brush on a thin layer of blue and then pour in the black? Once you sand it smooth, you would see the thin blue outline. Depending on how “wet” the epoxy is, it may blend slightly into the black or it may just look like a border. Would be cool to experiment with though. 👍
It’s so crazy how often TH-camrs tackle upcoming criticisms with a “defensive” statement even before getting any comments. It shows how many people just focus on a negative and feel the need to make sure to comment it on everything they can. I really like your channel. I watch it with my 3 year old daughter and she finds it very interesting as well. Thanks for doing something that takes work and effort and putting in the work to make it something you’re proud of.
Rescue, I would call it a resurrected table. It was resurrected into a beautifully improved table. As always your craftsmanship improves more and more with each project. Your attention to details is so evident in the end product. Keep them coming, Every time you and other woodworkers post a new video I learn a bit more.
Rescue, this is my absolute favorite table you’ve ever made. That wood has to be the most beautiful piece I’ve seen and i remember feeling so bad when I saw the first video. Well I’m glad you saved it.
Rescue. I think revived should be the word. Alot of people would have shelved it. You breathed life back into the project and made it beautiful. Really enjoy your videos and tips. They have helped me alot
Loved the "Keep it to yourself, I don't need your charity " comment, keep your humor coming in your videos. And as long as Scott doesn't mind what you call him, why should any of your viewers. Keep it coming both of you. Awesome content, thanks.
Rescue. You and Scott are proof that all heroes don't wear capes! You saw a damsel in distress and you stopped at nothing to revive this beauty! Well done. Never give up; never surrender!
It's great that you've been able to salvage what was a great slab in the first place. You're right, the colours were and are so brilliant. Scott, there's a dilemma. He's become more that the video man. He's your design sounding board and sometimes labourer. So it's about time he became 'Scott', he's a valuable, and welcome member of the Blacktail Studio family.
Rescued me from my boredome with a beautiful video. Love the openness around you and scott and the viewers, its refreshing to see the little ways you guys do fake wrap ups and the funny little conversations. Ive only been watching for about 2 days but ive binged a good few videos, love the content, miss woodworking myself, glad to see someone with more patience than me really put together some amazing works.
It's incredible how that table came back to life. The fact that you were able to rescue it and make something so incredible is a testament to your ability. Keep doing your thing. It's awesome!
You definitely got a subscriber out of me, been in one of the most turmoil times of my life. Called my pops and said lets start doing stuff like this and immediately he said lets do it. Thank you for your videos and hard work im sure i speak for the majority but they are highly appreciated
Rescue, that burn at the end was hilarious! Also that table is so beautiful, I'm glad you stuck with it for this long and finally got it repaired and finished. It was worth the effort!
I must say, your dedication and hard work are unparalleled. The way you brought that piece back from oblivion shows that nothing is impossible when it comes to craftmanship. I admire your relentless spirit for not giving up.
Reacue : I highly recommend you purchase a number 8 hand plain. It's the really long one. It's length really helps removing bumps or ridges as it glides over the dips without going in them. Honestly, for large pieces to smooth, it's superb
Rescue. I love this channel!!! The fact that you resurrected the top instead of scrapping it, makes it all the more special. There will come a time when this type material will be nonexistent so utilizing as much of it by adding the epoxy makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing your craft with us all.
Rescue. Absolutely stunning! The richness and depth of that colour! Phenomenal job. I don't know how you can bear to actually let any of your work leave the workshop and go to customers ... every one of them ends up looking exquisite.
Scott is much more than a video guy. Confiding in him and heeding his advice should put him in the coworker category. Maybe the epoxy or the project is the boss
I really appreciate your sense of humor. Too many people would pull the punches to seem likable. You just told everyone to cram their stupid big clock down their throats. I'm going to go remove ours from the wall now in shame, thanks for the life advice.
The first episode i ever watched was when you and your friend collaborated on building this table. I just happened to watch another, and here i get to watch you RESCUE the table that had too much moisture at the time of the original build. I'm glad you did not build the clock! Love the way the base turned out. Great job all around!
I really like this channel and I like how honest you are. You seem to take everything in stride and you seem pretty fearless to me, I am somehow in my 60's now and have begun to learn some woodworking and when I need a boost of courage I just come here and get some! I will never be a maker in your class but I will understand what it takes to be. Thank you, Cam!
Rescue: Scott thank you for all the discussion in the process. Years ago a comment in a magazine (maybe Fine Woodworking) said that in addition to all the How-To articles they ought to have a How-To-Fix the mistakes. Your open admission to the issues we all run into and the approach to fixing them is inspiring and very informative.
Rescue. That table has to be one of my all-time favourite projects. When you originally made that top, I was really upset that it might never be made into a finished table. I'm so glad that it's finally managed to be completed. That "simple" base was a great call because that top has so much interest in it that a complicated base would have just been too much. Awesome work 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rescue: A beautiful job, Cam -- and Scott! -- I love how you show all of the flaws in the materials and processes, and then show how you recovered from those flaws to yield a breathtaking piece of furniture art. Well done gents!
Rescue. Spectacular looking top. Great reclamation. Rebirth. Reborn. Phoenix Project. Maybe one of those will strike a chord for this kind of rescue project. Well done by any name.
Rescue. That was an amazing “recovery” of the table. I agree that it is some of the prettiest wood that you have used for a build and am so pleased you were able to “recover” the table. I am constantly impressed with your abilities and builds. Thanks for keeping the interest in your builds and videos.
I love that you revived this table!! How does that sound? I am actually glad because it was a beautiful piece of wood and the simple clean stand(not simple to make) looks amazing with it. I also don’t think anyone would have a problem figuring out who Scott is in a conversation. Maybe even do a quick shot of him when you talk about him. That will help people familiarize with him and put a face, which is easier, than just a name!!!keep up the great work and videos guys. Always impressed!!!
I have been a wood butcher since the 6th grade. I have built alot of different things that I was genuinely proud of and thought I was doing good work. Then I stumbled upon BLACKTAIL. Brother you are the wood guru. I have never seen another person consistently produce the most beautiful masterpiece items. I feel a little less qualified as a wood worker after discovering your channel but I find myself wanting to step up my game. Knowing I will never achieve your level of craftsmanship I still have the passion to do better. I appreciate what you have shared and look forward to every episode of your channel. Thank you for teaching as you go. This table turned out stunning.
Glad you were able to salvage this table, it was and is beautiful. Love the base. Figuring out how to solve the snags is what makes things interesting,and Scott works just fine also!
Rescue. My daughter doesn’t generally enjoy woodworking. But she did watch this video with me and was blown away, how beautiful it is,and now she wants to build a desk together. Inspiration.
Hi, this is the first comment I've ever left since watching TH-cam for 3 years. I really enjoy the comments you make while working on this rescue job. The table is just beautiful, thank you!
Rescue! You're a timber lifeguard! 💗😆 Scott seems like a really great addition to the channel. I really like the creative angles and the close-ups showing the details.
Concur with the excellent camera work. But his sound levels are always good too - so often my bugbear with TH-cam videos - and he edits like a pro (which he is of course). Thanks Scott for helping to showcase Cam's down to earth brilliance.
Rescue. I know I'm late for any of the goodies, but I believe Rehabilitation is a good term for the table rescue I love watching your work. The tips and tricks and the honesty in your process really makes your videos a pleasure to watch to the end.
Im so glad you RESCUED this magnificent mistake! Besides the big piece on the wall, this is my favorite project you've done! And for those of us who have been watching long enough, Scott suffices. Big shout out for making an appearance on this video and including behind the scenes comments on editing. Because there is alot of work that not only goes into the woodworking/epoxy, but also the videography. I'm also impressed with the time stamps, and products used with hyperlinks! Bravo on this one! 😉
Honestly I have got to say that the way you two create and edit these video's is actually pretty impressing. The way you tell a story during the video is quite creative, include lots of thought's and not only conclusion and bring in lot's of mistakes and fixes for those ideas. I pretty much never comment on any video unless I deem necessary, but seriously you got some serious talent and I was hooked on this video due to a great story, not because I was that interested in this exact project, but I kept on watching without knowing why sooo, This is me giving you guys some good vibes and keep creating these very entertaining video's 💪
I feel your sentiment towards clocks, I'm the same way when it comes to epoxy tables. River tables especially. That being said, I love when someone challenges my firm design stances as you did with your tables. This one in particular is a thing of beauty.
As you stated at the end of this video Rescue... 🙃I have just been introduced to your channel earlier today... as a an artist who also trained as a cabinetmaker. I appreciate all the effort you went into resurrecting that amazingly beautiful piece of timber. 20 years ago I found myself in a timber merchants with all these fabulously striking unique pieces of all different kinds of timber. I ended up bringing a 18 inch x 13 inch x 3 inch deep piece back on the plane with me... It is some sort of burl.. its been so long since then, I don't remember what it is exactly. it has like your piece, beautiful medullary rays. My initial idea was to use a book-leaf design as part of a table top inlay. I took it to a timber specialist back where I live as there is many small areas that need to be filled... Over the years I look at it longingly, where little bits fall out when I pick it up. It seems sacrilegious, not to utilise its beauty in all its glory. I was put off by what the timber guy said at that time. And now, having watched many artists do amazing things with epoxy resin and timber an with all of the potentially inherent problems that can happen. I realise I don't have the skills needed to pull off reshaping it into something beautiful, especially given its actual size. Watching your video has inspired me to do or at least, get something done with it.
This table is Awesome! 🔥 And I agree with you in that it is the prettiest wood table I've seen anywhere. Thanks for not only sharing the build but also the rescue of this incredible piece.
Rescue of this beautiful piece of wood was my first step into your channel ! Bro you got a great talent & gift to rescue nature’s castaways. Loved your episode! I will certainly be back for more ❤ MGW
Would be cool to see if you could make something using standard framing 4x2 timber and see what level of finish you could get out of it? Love your work
Re Scotts car burning: I also had this happen many years ago. I was driving my car and flames started shooting out from under the dash. I ran to the nearest house to call fire dept. By the time they got there it was nothing but a burned out frame. It was speculated that while the car had sat in a wooded area for a couple of months not being driven, squirrels or mice may have nested under the hood. Great video! Very informative and enjoyable to watch! Beautiful table! 👍✌️
Yet another killer piece, useful tips, with 1st responder humor sprinkled throughout....and of course your fan of the week segment never fails to disappoint lol
This was the first video I watched on your channel, i definitely will be watching a lot more. I loved the humor as well. Thank you for the detailed tutorial. This piece turned out amazing. You are a very patient man. Thank you 😊
I'm so glad I found the update to this table. It is crazy how you can make something so profitable out of nature. Thought the table was toast when you had moisture but you fixed it. That base is beautiful. You are truly blessed with an amazing gift!
I loved this so much, you have skill! I’m laid up in bed recovering from a surgery and just been watching your videos, they are very therapeutic! Cheers from England 🙏🏼
Rescue, that base seems nice and heavy. Beautiful top, I'm glad you saved it. When you were using the power plane, I remembered seeing someone make a jig for it to slide in. That way they could duplicate exact cuts for glue ups.
I've been binge watching your videos. They are just great. A starter company I worked for purchased a $50,000 conference table. At the time I was like that is just insane. Watching your videos has enlightened me to understand why pieces can cost so much. I love seeing the giveaways and donating money. I also love watching the process, the mistakes, the end result. The amount of hate folks spew from their putrid fingers in the comments, your comebacks are just great! I find it hilarious 😂 😃 😄 Keep up the great work! 👍
Rescue: I’ve been a subscriber watching your channel for a while now. I have to say, as a fellow craftsman and woodworker I’m always impressed with the quality of your work. This is probably one of my favorite tables you’ve made. I like the stand you made I would probably went with something that was more natural or abstract like the top but definitely one of my favorites
You are 100% correct - that tabletop is outrageously beautiful. I really like the base, but I think it clashes with the top - a simple metal base would (IMHO) worked better. Still, great work - better than anything I could ever do.
Beautiful work! Don't beat yourself up about the table base having a wavy cut. Band saws by their nature, oscillate. This can be seen with a slow motion camera. It's only a problem on larger pieces like you had. I assure you, you did nothing wrong, fixed the issue exactly as I would have, and it looks great! Thank you for the videos! I've really enjoyed watching and hope to continue to do so for a long time. Cheers from NC
Rescue. So glad it got a second chance. And I think you redeemed it's original beauty and value. 100% your best...failure And Scott you rock! You always get the shot and I bet that's not so easy with cam around. Thank you both for all the amazing content.
Know what I like about you, is that you do learn from your mistakes and you give everything the personal touch. You speak your mind about what you think are your lack of skills, I see it as learning on the job. I've been making necklaces for the last 40+ years and with each new product that comes out, I learn a new way of making my necklaces better. My necklace are one-of-a-kind as I use crystals and stones. Like you top quality. If I won't wear it I won't sell it to my customer. Life is all about learning and being true to yourself. I turn 70 next week and boy oh boy have I learned a lot about Life. One is never give up on your Passion for creating what you love to do. Blessings. 💜💜💜
Rescue. I love the carve-out you did on the underside of the base--I think that texture would look cool featured on a visible surface in a future build (I forget if you've done something like that before)
Been watching your stuff when I can. I love how you easily share and resolve your mistakes. I’ve been doing woodworking most of my life as a hobby. Keep up the good work
Rescue! I like the idea of using the word redeemed instead of rescue or salvaged. Love how you redeemed your failure - it ended up a very pretty table.
RESCUE.... Although it's not "repossessed", "repo table" would be a cool name. Also a name that wouldn't technically depreciate with the name itself. Just an idea, but I love the videos. I usually keep them on whilst working from home, so thank you for helping me get through hours of online work!! Much love and keep up the beautiful craftsmanship!
Really enjoy your channel and I did subscribe. My wife even enjoys an occasional video of yours even though woodworking isn’t a big interest for her. I enjoy watching your progression to better and better woodworking equipment, products and techniques. Enjoyed watching Scott come on board and glad you have some help in manhandling the slabs. I really enjoy watching you profile your woodworking equipment and hope you continue that. I don’t know if you have ever given a video tour of your shop but I would enjoy that. Love the fact that you respond to the negative comments and haters and don’t just roll over.
You rescued my boring night lol. 😊 Possible names for second attempts on first failed projects: Cam’s Rehabilitated Tables: Recovery Doesn’t Happen Overnight Cam’s Table Revisions: Don’t Quit 5 minutes Before the Miracle Cam’s Table Salvaging: Progress, Not Perfection Have a great holiday friend 😄
That came out absolutely gorgeous. How about "2nd Life Wood" for a name. I sure wish I had a shop and the income to try to do this kind of wood working. The biggest problem I would have is since Black Walnut is my most favorite type of wood I wouldn't have any money left since I would try to buy all of your work you have.
I feel like just Scott works fine, although at this point "Scott The Video Guy" feels like his full name now
That's Mr. VideoGuy to you.
Absolutely Scott the Videoguy
Great Scott, you just read my mind!
Scott the video guy has shadows the neighbor Wilson W. Wilson Jr. That we only see his hat and eyes in the TV show Tool Time. He was there to be helpful. I'd keep the name most of the time so new viewers get to enjoy knowing his role and yet keep him somewhat nerdly-elusive

Unless you create a basin with resin,that you mix die to get darker and darker. But it's a really cool concept
@@Steamrickthe “jable” u mean?
agree 100%
I didn’t even notice that at first but that is definitely a cool effect. Maybe it’s possible to brush on a thin layer of blue and then pour in the black? Once you sand it smooth, you would see the thin blue outline. Depending on how “wet” the epoxy is, it may blend slightly into the black or it may just look like a border. Would be cool to experiment with though. 👍

Rescue, this is my absolute favorite table you’ve ever made. That wood has to be the most beautiful piece I’ve seen and i remember feeling so bad when I saw the first video. Well I’m glad you saved it.
Rescue. I think revived should be the word. Alot of people would have shelved it. You breathed life back into the project and made it beautiful. Really enjoy your videos and tips. They have helped me alot
Rescue im glad this came back up in my feed. Exceptional work, Cam. Thank you.
Loved the "Keep it to yourself, I don't need your charity " comment, keep your humor coming in your videos. And as long as Scott doesn't mind what you call him, why should any of your viewers. Keep it coming both of you. Awesome content, thanks.
Rescue. You and Scott are proof that all heroes don't wear capes! You saw a damsel in distress and you stopped at nothing to revive this beauty! Well done. Never give up; never surrender!
It's great that you've been able to salvage what was a great slab in the first place. You're right, the colours were and are so brilliant.
Scott, there's a dilemma. He's become more that the video man. He's your design sounding board and sometimes labourer. So it's about time he became 'Scott', he's a valuable, and welcome member of the Blacktail Studio family.
I love how you acknowledge your mistakes. You are a true craftsman, always learning always improving and you enjoy what you do mistakes and all.
I believe this is the most beautiful table you've made to date. One would never know it's a rescue at a glance.
Rescued me from my boredome with a beautiful video. Love the openness around you and scott and the viewers, its refreshing to see the little ways you guys do fake wrap ups and the funny little conversations. Ive only been watching for about 2 days but ive binged a good few videos, love the content, miss woodworking myself, glad to see someone with more patience than me really put together some amazing works.
It's incredible how that table came back to life. The fact that you were able to rescue it and make something so incredible is a testament to your ability. Keep doing your thing. It's awesome!
You definitely got a subscriber out of me, been in one of the most turmoil times of my life. Called my pops and said lets start doing stuff like this and immediately he said lets do it. Thank you for your videos and hard work im sure i speak for the majority but they are highly appreciated
Rescue, that burn at the end was hilarious! Also that table is so beautiful, I'm glad you stuck with it for this long and finally got it repaired and finished. It was worth the effort!
Rescue!
I love this table and I'm glad you went to the effort to save it. That wood is incredible! And, yeah, you can can just call him Scott now!
So glad you didn't give up on this table. It's absolutely stunning! 😍
Rescue
This is the ultimate table. WOW! Thank you for sharing.
I must say, your dedication and hard work are unparalleled. The way you brought that piece back from oblivion shows that nothing is impossible when it comes to craftmanship. I admire your relentless spirit for not giving up.
Oh thanks bud 🙏
Reacue : I highly recommend you purchase a number 8 hand plain. It's the really long one. It's length really helps removing bumps or ridges as it glides over the dips without going in them. Honestly, for large pieces to smooth, it's superb
Rescue. I love this channel!!! The fact that you resurrected the top instead of scrapping it, makes it all the more special. There will come a time when this type material will be nonexistent so utilizing as much of it by adding the epoxy makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing your craft with us all.
Resurrected! That's the perfect name!
Rescue. Absolutely stunning! The richness and depth of that colour! Phenomenal job. I don't know how you can bear to actually let any of your work leave the workshop and go to customers ... every one of them ends up looking exquisite.
The rescue table finished beautifully. I can see why you would want to keep it.
Scott is much more than a video guy. Confiding in him and heeding his advice should put him in the coworker category. Maybe the epoxy or the project is the boss
I really appreciate your sense of humor. Too many people would pull the punches to seem likable. You just told everyone to cram their stupid big clock down their throats. I'm going to go remove ours from the wall now in shame, thanks for the life advice.
The first episode i ever watched was when you and your friend collaborated on building this table. I just happened to watch another, and here i get to watch you RESCUE the table that had too much moisture at the time of the original build. I'm glad you did not build the clock! Love the way the base turned out. Great job all around!
I really like this channel and I like how honest you are. You seem to take everything in stride and you seem pretty fearless to me, I am somehow in my 60's now and have begun to learn some woodworking and when I need a boost of courage I just come here and get some! I will never be a maker in your class but I will understand what it takes to be. Thank you, Cam!
Rescue, the table is absolutely immaculate. The colours when you added the nano-tech just popped. Excellent craftsmanship!
Rescue: Scott thank you for all the discussion in the process. Years ago a comment in a magazine (maybe Fine Woodworking) said that in addition to all the How-To articles they ought to have a How-To-Fix the mistakes. Your open admission to the issues we all run into and the approach to fixing them is inspiring and very informative.
Rescue. Beautiful table. Thanks for sharing. "Pyro" for Scott seems fitting.
Rescue. That table has to be one of my all-time favourite projects. When you originally made that top, I was really upset that it might never be made into a finished table. I'm so glad that it's finally managed to be completed. That "simple" base was a great call because that top has so much interest in it that a complicated base would have just been too much. Awesome work 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rescue: A beautiful job, Cam -- and Scott! -- I love how you show all of the flaws in the materials and processes, and then show how you recovered from those flaws to yield a breathtaking piece of furniture art. Well done gents!
Rescue. Scott is truly good at filming and editing it’s like watching a movie.
What about RE-poxy?
Rescue. Spectacular looking top. Great reclamation. Rebirth. Reborn. Phoenix Project. Maybe one of those will strike a chord for this kind of rescue project. Well done by any name.
Rescue. That was an amazing “recovery” of the table. I agree that it is some of the prettiest wood that you have used for a build and am so pleased you were able to “recover” the table. I am constantly impressed with your abilities and builds. Thanks for keeping the interest in your builds and videos.
I love that you revived this table!! How does that sound? I am actually glad because it was a beautiful piece of wood and the simple clean stand(not simple to make) looks amazing with it. I also don’t think anyone would have a problem figuring out who Scott is in a conversation. Maybe even do a quick shot of him when you talk about him. That will help people familiarize with him and put a face, which is easier, than just a name!!!keep up the great work and videos guys. Always impressed!!!
Yeah "Revived Table" has a super nice ring to it.
Rescued that piece from an eternity as an oversized clock. What A nice man.
I have been a wood butcher since the 6th grade. I have built alot of different things that I was genuinely proud of and thought I was doing good work.
Then I stumbled upon BLACKTAIL. Brother you are the wood guru. I have never seen another person consistently produce the most beautiful masterpiece items. I feel a little less qualified as a wood worker after discovering your channel but I find myself wanting to step up my game. Knowing I will never achieve your level of craftsmanship I still have the passion to do better. I appreciate what you have shared and look forward to every episode of your channel.
Thank you for teaching as you go.
This table turned out stunning.
Glad you were able to salvage this table, it was and is beautiful. Love the base. Figuring out how to solve the snags is what makes things interesting,and Scott works just fine also!
Rescue. My daughter doesn’t generally enjoy woodworking. But she did watch this video with me and was blown away, how beautiful it is,and now she wants to build a desk together. Inspiration.
Is that the name of your daughter or an unfortunately placed comma.
@@colebryant4824🤣😭
It all depends on how you look at the world.
so glad this was recovered! Was so sad when the first one didn't work out
Hi, this is the first comment I've ever left since watching TH-cam for 3 years. I really enjoy the comments you make while working on this rescue job. The table is just beautiful, thank you!
Welcome Glenn!
Rescue! You're a timber lifeguard! 💗😆 Scott seems like a really great addition to the channel. I really like the creative angles and the close-ups showing the details.
Concur with the excellent camera work. But his sound levels are always good too - so often my bugbear with TH-cam videos - and he edits like a pro (which he is of course). Thanks Scott for helping to showcase Cam's down to earth brilliance.
I’m so glad to see this! I’m right at the beginning, and I absolutely loved that table! I hope you really enjoyed the project
Rescue - I should’ve waited till the end for that but I forgot 😂
Rescue. That is an excellent reclaim of a 'twice loved' piece. Beautifully done!
Rescue. I know I'm late for any of the goodies, but I believe Rehabilitation is a good term for the table rescue I love watching your work. The tips and tricks and the honesty in your process really makes your videos a pleasure to watch to the end.
Im so glad you RESCUED this magnificent mistake! Besides the big piece on the wall, this is my favorite project you've done! And for those of us who have been watching long enough, Scott suffices. Big shout out for making an appearance on this video and including behind the scenes comments on editing. Because there is alot of work that not only goes into the woodworking/epoxy, but also the videography. I'm also impressed with the time stamps, and products used with hyperlinks! Bravo on this one! 😉
Honestly I have got to say that the way you two create and edit these video's is actually pretty impressing.
The way you tell a story during the video is quite creative, include lots of thought's and not only conclusion and bring in lot's of mistakes and fixes for those ideas.
I pretty much never comment on any video unless I deem necessary, but seriously you got some serious talent and I was hooked on this video due to a great story, not because I was that interested in this exact project, but I kept on watching without knowing why sooo, This is me giving you guys some good vibes and keep creating these very entertaining video's 💪
Rescue. I am with you - I love the wood and the grain. This turned out to be a beautiful table.
I feel your sentiment towards clocks, I'm the same way when it comes to epoxy tables. River tables especially. That being said, I love when someone challenges my firm design stances as you did with your tables. This one in particular is a thing of beauty.
Rescue, Cam that table is freaking gorgeous. I love it. As always you do phenomenal work.
As you stated at the end of this video Rescue... 🙃I have just been introduced to your channel earlier today... as a an artist who also trained as a cabinetmaker. I appreciate all the effort you went into resurrecting that amazingly beautiful piece of timber. 20 years ago I found myself in a timber merchants with all these fabulously striking unique pieces of all different kinds of timber.
I ended up bringing a 18 inch x 13 inch x 3 inch deep piece back on the plane with me... It is some sort of burl.. its been so long since then, I don't remember what it is exactly. it has like your piece, beautiful medullary rays. My initial idea was to use a book-leaf design as part of a table top inlay. I took it to a timber specialist back where I live as there is many small areas that need to be filled... Over the years I look at it longingly, where little bits fall out when I pick it up.
It seems sacrilegious, not to utilise its beauty in all its glory. I was put off by what the timber guy said at that time. And now, having watched many artists do amazing things with epoxy resin and timber an with all of the potentially inherent problems that can happen. I realise I don't have the skills needed to pull off reshaping it into something beautiful, especially given its actual size. Watching your video has inspired me to do or at least, get something done with it.
This table is Awesome! 🔥 And I agree with you in that it is the prettiest wood table I've seen anywhere. Thanks for not only sharing the build but also the rescue of this incredible piece.
Rescue of this beautiful piece of wood was my first step into your channel ! Bro you got a great talent & gift to rescue nature’s castaways. Loved your episode! I will certainly be back for more ❤ MGW
Would be cool to see if you could make something using standard framing 4x2 timber and see what level of finish you could get out of it? Love your work
Re Scotts car burning: I also had this happen many years ago. I was driving my car and flames started shooting out from under the dash. I ran to the nearest house to call fire dept. By the time they got there it was nothing but a burned out frame. It was speculated that while the car had sat in a wooded area for a couple of months not being driven, squirrels or mice may have nested under the hood. Great video! Very informative and enjoyable to watch! Beautiful table! 👍✌️
Yet another killer piece, useful tips, with 1st responder humor sprinkled throughout....and of course your fan of the week segment never fails to disappoint lol
This was the first video I watched on your channel, i definitely will be watching a lot more. I loved the humor as well. Thank you for the detailed tutorial. This piece turned out amazing. You are a very patient man. Thank you 😊
*whens the Jonny Sins collaboration?*
He is Jonny sins, he’s just method acting as a woodworker
Not soon enough according to my wife
@@HateHater2205oh man the list of puns for the intro scene is endless…. Wood. Heh heh
He'll never Collab with Johnny Sins...
He and his wife only deal with black tail 💀
@@blacktailstudiouncut🤣
Rescue..and that last Fan of the Week shot had me snorting my iced tea. Well done - both the table rescue and the comeback. Well done.
That table looks awesome Cam. You should do more stands like that. That big chunk of wood on the bottom really made it stand out. Great work
Hard disagree. Taste is so subjective!
I'm so glad I found the update to this table. It is crazy how you can make something so profitable out of nature. Thought the table was toast when you had moisture but you fixed it. That base is beautiful. You are truly blessed with an amazing gift!
I loved this so much, you have skill! I’m laid up in bed recovering from a surgery and just been watching your videos, they are very therapeutic! Cheers from England 🙏🏼
Rescue, that base seems nice and heavy. Beautiful top, I'm glad you saved it. When you were using the power plane, I remembered seeing someone make a jig for it to slide in. That way they could duplicate exact cuts for glue ups.
I've been binge watching your videos. They are just great. A starter company I worked for purchased a $50,000 conference table. At the time I was like that is just insane. Watching your videos has enlightened me to understand why pieces can cost so much.
I love seeing the giveaways and donating money. I also love watching the process, the mistakes, the end result.
The amount of hate folks spew from their putrid fingers in the comments, your comebacks are just great! I find it hilarious 😂 😃 😄
Keep up the great work! 👍
Rescue: I’ve been a subscriber watching your channel for a while now. I have to say, as a fellow craftsman and woodworker I’m always impressed with the quality of your work. This is probably one of my favorite tables you’ve made. I like the stand you made I would probably went with something that was more natural or abstract like the top but definitely one of my favorites
I always wondered if you would do something with this again! So glad you did, it's such a nice piece
You are 100% correct - that tabletop is outrageously beautiful. I really like the base, but I think it clashes with the top - a simple metal base would (IMHO) worked better. Still, great work - better than anything I could ever do.
same. Or use the n3 for the base so they are both equally shiny.
Beautiful work! Don't beat yourself up about the table base having a wavy cut. Band saws by their nature, oscillate. This can be seen with a slow motion camera. It's only a problem on larger pieces like you had. I assure you, you did nothing wrong, fixed the issue exactly as I would have, and it looks great! Thank you for the videos! I've really enjoyed watching and hope to continue to do so for a long time. Cheers from NC
You are always nailing it with the Arrested Development references!
Rescue! I love the rescued table. I think "Reborn Wood" is a good description for reused wood.
Previously trees
"born again" wood 🤣
The word "Reborn" reminds me of those creepy "Reborn baby dolls" 😂😂😂
@@lorirain3486 LOL!!!!
@@aaronwatkins8973 LOL
This table is absolutely beautiful. It was an amazing rescue!
Rescue. So glad it got a second chance. And I think you redeemed it's original beauty and value. 100% your best...failure And Scott you rock! You always get the shot and I bet that's not so easy with cam around. Thank you both for all the amazing content.
Know what I like about you, is that you do learn from your mistakes and you give everything the personal touch. You speak your mind about what you think are your lack of skills, I see it as learning on the job. I've been making necklaces for the last 40+ years and with each new product that comes out, I learn a new way of making my necklaces better. My necklace are one-of-a-kind as I use crystals and stones. Like you top quality. If I won't wear it I won't sell it to my customer. Life is all about learning and being true to yourself. I turn 70 next week and boy oh boy have I learned a lot about Life. One is never give up on your Passion for creating what you love to do. Blessings. 💜💜💜
That’s awesome, thanks so much Samantha.
Rescue: The table is stunning. I wonder if you have made bases similar to that one before. I love the way it turned out.
Rescue. I love the carve-out you did on the underside of the base--I think that texture would look cool featured on a visible surface in a future build (I forget if you've done something like that before)
Been watching your stuff when I can. I love how you easily share and resolve your mistakes. I’ve been doing woodworking most of my life as a hobby. Keep up the good work
Scott is awesome. Video cuts are looking amazing. And as always beautiful work.
Rescuing this table turned out incredibly beautiful!
Rescue! I like the idea of using the word redeemed instead of rescue or salvaged. Love how you redeemed your failure - it ended up a very pretty table.
RESCUE....
Although it's not "repossessed", "repo table" would be a cool name. Also a name that wouldn't technically depreciate with the name itself. Just an idea, but I love the videos. I usually keep them on whilst working from home, so thank you for helping me get through hours of online work!! Much love and keep up the beautiful craftsmanship!
Really enjoy your channel and I did subscribe. My wife even enjoys an occasional video of yours even though woodworking isn’t a big interest for her. I enjoy watching your progression to better and better woodworking equipment, products and techniques. Enjoyed watching Scott come on board and glad you have some help in manhandling the slabs. I really enjoy watching you profile your woodworking equipment and hope you continue that. I don’t know if you have ever given a video tour of your shop but I would enjoy that. Love the fact that you respond to the negative comments and haters and don’t just roll over.
You rescued my boring night lol. 😊
Possible names for second attempts on first failed projects:
Cam’s Rehabilitated Tables: Recovery Doesn’t Happen Overnight
Cam’s Table Revisions: Don’t Quit 5 minutes Before the Miracle
Cam’s Table Salvaging: Progress, Not Perfection
Have a great holiday friend 😄
12 step guy
That came out absolutely gorgeous. How about "2nd Life Wood" for a name. I sure wish I had a shop and the income to try to do this kind of wood working. The biggest problem I would have is since Black Walnut is my most favorite type of wood I wouldn't have any money left since I would try to buy all of your work you have.
2nd life wood - solid suggestion. got my vote.
I stayed until the end. I laughed...out loud. This is a woodworking channel, right? Always appreciated!
vicarious woodworking pornography.
I'm sure his wife gets a lot of his wood.
Rescue: This table is gorgeous. Truly inspiring me to want to start my own thing. Thanks for all the time spent
