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.

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!

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 someone who does art on a tablet/with a pencil, I love watching people who work more with their hands. Art in different mediums has so much variety, including the process, and I love seeing the passion that comes with it. Your projects look amazing. Keep going at it.

"I have friends, I have colleagues, I have have wife...I have one Coughed up my mouthful of water bro.... hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

I love having Scott as part of the videos. Your back and forth dialogue are great

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

I love how you show all the mistakes of every day work. Gives off a good authentic vibe

[runcover]

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!!!

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!

[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

Hi, I'm a woodworker and I'm looking forward to learn more from your videos. I love that it's not the "everything goes exactly as planned...always" kind of stuff, but it's really the "learning while you go" and even though you have a lot of experience but still not knowing everything or making mistakes is so accurate. I love that you're showing that as well. You're a real example for me now. 🥰☺️💪🏻

[apexpredator_jku]

I applaud that you acknowledged the swear jar folks, assesed the situation & kept it real by being unapologetic for being you & no promises were given to appease those who've mistaken this for the Disney channel. Never change.

[substanced]

The "please don't tell my wives" on the receipt was gold. Nice job.

[Newmoor]

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!

[snafuagain]

Wow‼️Super impressed‼️Love that you care about the details. My Dad was a Chemist then an Aviation Engineer then ended being a Master Carpenter. He cared so much about the details! In the end, He would build things in the garage just as intricate and beautiful as what he produced at his big shop. I loved how his furniture looked good at 6 inches away as it did 6 feet away. Such a joy! New Subscriber!!

👍I think this may be the piece you've done that I've liked the most. Understatedly elegant, the matte finish on the wood highlights the polished char-and-epoxy sections and allows the attention to detail you've shown in this work to shine through.

[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.

[ViktoroMiller]

👍 The summary and "Please dont tell my wives" is priceless! Great job

[gratchets]

I think it came out really beautiful. Living in a part of No. Cal that burns just about every other year.... I like it. Love that you show the "not perfect" parts. Makes it far more relatable. :)
