My wife asked for one table, so I made her ten... She wasn't thrilled with what I came up with.

  • She married him because when she asked him "what do you bring to the table?", he answered "I bring 9 more".
  • I don't know if you realise but what makes you much better than other woodworkers (apart from the amazing work) is the constant yapping we love it
  • Hey Cam, I'm a blacksmith and I've worked with damascus steel a bit. One thing that struck me when you said that the Giraffe pattern being disappointing is that all the best patterns in steel are the more symmetrical or ordered ones. I think the style is organic and random enough on its own, so an ordered base pattern tends to look best. I also have two suggestions I'd love to see you try to mimic: first, feather (sometimes called flame) pattern and second: a mosaic of some sort, the most common being "star", "burst" or "explosion" patterns. I could try to explain these, but I think it's best if you just look them up here on YouTube. Great video as always!
  • @KinuGrove
    Love how you knew exactly what she would pick but still made all the options so you have fun making stuff.
  • @spellfireforge
    Shoutout to SB Mowing - "that nice kid that cuts people's grass for free" - a real hometown hero of mine here in Wichita!
  • @theHacksmith
    Damascus Denim - so hot right now! Awesome work, Cam.
  • @michaelgill9273
    "If it turns out lame, call it a Bourbon Moth table base or something." LMAO! FnA Cotton, that was a good burn. Blacktail Studio and Bourbon Moth are two of my absolute favorite woodworkers!!! I hope you two become besties. I would love to see a big collaboration.
  • What I loved most about this video was the way your lovely wife looks at you. It is so obvious that she is absolutely in love with you - and you with her. While your self-depreciating humor makes me laugh, that wonderful love-filled banter between the two of you made my heart soar and brought tears of happiness to my eyes. God bless you both!
  • @kevinmccann316
    Rounding the edge on the pyramid base was ABSOLUTELY the right choice went from "yeah ok" to "DAMN DANIEL" IMHO
  • @MrCsheller
    This is a hilarious amount of work for what was boiled down into a 6 minute denim sommelier bit. I'm here for it. Dying laughing the entire time. I also spent 6 weeks on a nightstand build just so I could do a post about my SO wanting a One Night Stand for her birthday.
  • @nathanswift8098
    This is honestly so sweet, it seems like you guys have a very healthy relationship! You made a real effort to wow her with the options and some patterns / color combos that you knew she'd like and some you knew she wouldn't, but, ultimately, still made her a top that perfectly suited her taste and respected her decision, despite your own opinions. I got such a kick out of your wine tasting-esque display of the different tops / bases, your delivery was spot-on. And props to your wife for genuinely comparing the different styles in an attempt to find one she would like, even after seeing the oak top ;)
  • Honestly I love when you went all the way through and the wood is there with the denim
  • @DaddyBooneDon
    I work in the paint dept in a big box store, and our record was 52, so your wife is the new record holder. Congrats! Have you thought about painting the wall plaid?
  • @arvindkumarts
    As an architect, I'd love to see a video tour of your home showcasing all the exquisite woodwork and furnitures, like a parade home display. Your work is truly commendable! 👏🏻
  • The "Islands" top is my favourite. Beautiful when you showed it as the first option with that base. I also love the foil trial as well.
  • @jamesadowney
    Obviously there are more of us out here spending more time enjoying your content (including the sarcasm and amusing wife stories) than analyzing where you and she fall on an "SMV chart." And I, for one, appreciate you putting that individual on a pedestal for our collective side show mockery.
  • @cooper3018
    I think the giraffe patterns gonna take the cake! Edit: what the fuck
  • @_JamesBrown
    I love that Scott has turned into more than just filming and editing. You guys work well creatively together. It's nice to have a second set of hands in the shop. I think we all can say that.
  • @imdebmccann
    You crack me up! I just realized that you pop into my feed so often that I hadn't realized until today that I haven't subscribed. Fixing that now. My favorite table top was the raindrop--I thought that in the right place it would be stunning.
  • @emciki1
    I must say that all the samples you provided are of exceptional quality and it's difficult for me to single out one as my favorite. I appreciate the effort and dedication you put into creating each one of them. In fact, I believe all the samples should be showcased to the customers to give them the opportunity to choose the one that resonates with them the most. Love it love it ❤😊
