It makes me so happy to see you spreading the organic wood dust around the grass soils and gardens. Mother nature appreciates this very much. ❤❤❤
-
As an IT professional I appreciate your appreciation of our under desks environment and aesthetics
-
Big credit to your lumber supplier. They did the right thing by you.
-
@BlackTailStudio please don’t ever change your sense of humor in theses videos! I am also a woodworker and possessor of dry humor and I love it! It’s just the cherry on top of your videos.
-
Do over: As an IT professional I was laughing hysterically. You have no idea how many tables I've been under and thought, "They did a really nice job with this recessed bracket."
-
Do Over. Thank you for being so transparent about this failure. When I filmed my "World's Smallest River Table" video I had a pretty catastrophic failure that I thought would be the end of the project. Luckily I was able to recover but I felt so defeated at the time and strongly considered just giving up. Seeing someone with your level of skill have to go through something similar is oddly comforting. Also shout out to Aaron for owning up to the mistake and doing everything he could to make it right.
-
I love that you address the haters and let them know that their engagement actually helps your videos. LOVE IT! Great videos man.
-
Props to the wood sourcer for giving you the replacements at no extra charge. Respect.
-
Do over.....just want to say how IMPRESSIVE your ethics and honesty are. There are people out there that would NOT include any of this in their videos and even worse try to pass off their work as flawless.....mad mad props to you and your business, you're one of the rare ones!!!
-
Do over. I really respect you for never sending out a faulty product even though it costs you a fortune and takes 3 years. It’s great to watch someone with pure integrity in their art AND in their business dealings. And if you tube revenue enables you to do that, then that’s bloody awesome. Good on ya mate.

I am a retired arborist from the northeast 35yrs. I’ve earned respect, these MEN ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! GREAT DOCUMENTARY
-
Do Over - You should also do a follow up on how those slabs turned out after Aaron put them back into the kiln. I would love to see if they were salvageable or at least know the results.
-
Do over. Very impressed that you took the time to admit the “error” in the slab selection. Not many guys of your calibre are willing to admit it. Your work is amazing! Hope to do an epoxy table some day myself.
-
Do over: It's amazing to see how committed you are to your work and how seriously you take such issues, you're setting the bar high for all the manufacturers out there. Really enjoyed the process!!
-
Do over. It's a 'big' man who can put himself out there when he's made a mistake. Your admission shows something about you. I love your videos, and your honesty helps. Keep up the good work and please keep them coming. Your final products are worth the wait. Thanks...'a fan'
-
Some people say you’re not a woodworker, some say that you talk too much. Me? Absolutely love the attention to detail, explaining every step, and being honest about what and how you do things. I don’t have a place where to do something like that, nor I have the finances to have all the nice tools, so for now, I admire your work from a great distance. Keep up the amazing job you’re doing!!!!
-
Do over I'm not doing any kind of wood working, nor will I ever be (most likely) but I just love watching you work. It is so satisfying and relaxing. And you leaving in all the fails and errors just make it even more enjoyable to me, because mistakes happen all the time and it's nice to see artists being open about it. Also kudos for your amazing clients willing to wait even longer, they are truly great
-
Love your videos, sarcasm, honestly and final product.
-
Do over: while not a woodworker myself I am a custom builder. I can’t tell you how many times (especially right after the Covid pandemic) the very expensive and over priced lumber was bad big damage, structural cracks, and all the supplier would say is “it meets ASTM standards” and blew me off. I’m an so glad that Golby walnut made it right.
-
Do over.... I can barely cover a $30 mistake, let alone $30k, but I seriously commend you for your transparency. I can't thank you enough for how much you teach us for free, and someday I'll have the money to learn even more from you through your class. For now, I can't wait to see your other projects and keep my fingers crossed for how the second batch turns out🤞
