  • Hey Cam, I normally love your videos. However, I often watch with my 5yo son. I'm just wondering if the atrocious caulking is something we can expect to continue. Wouldn't want him seeing any more of that.
  • @rbgy
    Pro wood worker 27 years here. Wanted to give ya some pointers. Here we go. Just kidding, amazing work as usual. More than the craftsmanship it’s the humility that you show, calling yourself a mediocre woodworker, even though you are certainly not, it makes projects seem approachable and gets people inspired to try. That’s the most beautiful thing we can share with people - inspiration!
  • @JerodHughes
    I couldn't possibly afford one of your tables but watching you make them is so cathartic and I love your sense of humor.
  • @singulant
    Scott was the PERFECT addition to the channel. Literally not the same black tail without him. Truly the most perfect fitting attitude and personality to pair with your original style the channel was founded on. Scott, bro, you're appreciated for sure
  • @substanced9410
    The "please don't tell my wives" on the receipt was gold. Nice job.
  • @kerryka82
    I love having Scott as part of the videos. Your back and forth dialogue are great
  • @some_antics
    This has got to be one of the coolest tables we've watched you make so far. The reflective finish on the burnt parts looks amazing.

    As a lover of anything made of wood, former 25 year GC of my own company and total 40 year woods craftsman. Let me simply say, this is a beautiful piece of art and I enjoyed watching the build. I enjoy watching other craftsmen who actually care about the smallest of details and truly appreciate the process. As well, it’s also nice to learn new tricks I didn’t know about. Some people might think it odd for someone with an extensive number of years in the trade to make such a comment. I actually wouldn’t trust someone who didn’t, as I know from experience and my teachers who taught me. You should always be learning your craft, no matter what it is because materials and techniques are forever changing. That has never been more true than when you’re talking about working with wood. So, thank you for the overall experience and watching your built I did thoroughly enjoy it. Have a good day, sir.
  • @ViktoroMiller
    👍 The summary and "Please dont tell my wives" is priceless! Great job
  • @WGrace
    Something many folks never figure out about successful channels is that millions of people can make good content, but character is the ingredient that keeps bringing them back. Love the commentary/character you bring. We don't have to agree with everyone in the world. Good friends enjoy disagreeing at times! Rave on. Great entertainment. Thanks
  • @2muchyoutube
    I like that you take others people's thoughts and concerns and address them. Criticism is the best form of advice and your not afraid to ask for help and let it known. Very humbling.
  • @imo8513
    The algorithm brought me here. Never a fan of woodworking and carpentry but I found your videos somewhat therapeutic. Kudos to you.
  • @run4cover32
    I absolutely love how transparent you are about your craft and how you don't try to get people to believe that you're perfect you're awesome guy!!!
  • @blafaard
    You are the best narrator on the internet. One of the few channels I will never ever skip an episode. In fact your narration is so good, you could narrate movies in Hollywood. Big fish style. No joke!
  • @Rayyvyn
    I absolutely love your vids, not only the projects themselves (which are stunning) but your humor, self deprecating snark. Interplay between you both & finally, how you DON'T edit out your screw-ups & subsequent fixes. You keep making them & I'll keep watching 😊Thanks for the inspiration, the amusement & the entertainment !
  • @maplelump
    Scott is a goddamn treasure, and I can't imagine videos without him. You two are an incredible team. :)
  • @enhazevibes
    I have never been a fan of epoxy in furniture used as a focal point, but wow. This is the first time it has ever felt natural to me, something that just makes sense. Well done!
  • @sarbozam
    I just watched this and am blown away by the patience you show. That pencil sanding was wild.
  • @kramidanalub
    I like the Jeremy Clarkson, James May analogy. POWERRR!!!
  • @EricHersh
    8:42 Whether intentional or not, as a Marine, I audibly guffawed. Thank you. Also, the "stand of shame" at the end was a nice touch; hats off to Scott for all his contributions to your videos.
