You know what makes Cam’s videos so much better than other woodworking videos? It’s the constant yap. I don’t think I could survive without it.

[darren]

Cam has cracked Youtube honestly. The thumbnails are always incredible, I've never not clicked on a Blacktail video the second i see the thumbnail

[truenorth]

This has to be one of the most genuine woodworking channels. No clickbait thumbnails or titles, honest and funny commentary, and also great woodworking content.

Как же мне в жизни не хватало таких энергичных людей, как вы, которые знакомятся по-старинке, делают ссылки на фильмы, не боятся ошибиться, и идут всегда вперёд с позитивом. Спасибо за ваши прекрасные работы и золотые руки! Смотрю всегда с интересом.

“That is more yellow than I was expecting”
Hilarious jump cut to the table! Great editing and even greaterer table!

Guitar builder here! When we're doing the multi coloring ("Bursts" as they're called) it's a lot easier to start with the darkest color. That way you can sand back the areas where lighter colors will go until you get the level of transparency you want. You can then put the next lightest color across the WHOLE piece, which will give you a much more consistent color gradient. This way, you don't really have to worry about blending the different layers as you had to here (the blending comes from the sanding step). Rinse and repeat for subsequent layers going from darkest to lightest.

I know he's been here a long time, but Scott is easily the best addition to this channel. His insights make you a better creator and I love his commentary.

I am ALWAYS entertained by your voice-overs. In fact, there are usually 2-4 instances where I burst into laughter (eg: heating colour sticks and assuming you won’t singe your finger). Yes, I love your videos!! ❤❤

[SIPATGaming]

Your original denim desk 100% gave me that feeling of " wow! I've never seen anything like that and I want that in my house" that was definitely your Holy Grail item for me.

[shootstuff_se]

I clicked the wrong icon and ended up on this channel a few years ago, and I'm hooked. Not only do you build amazing stuff, but the entertainment, humor and irony is 100 of 100.

[OSimon]

For what it's worth - I think your voice overs are freaking awesome! They are the main reason I watch your videos start to finish without even skipping once.
- I haven't seen anything like that table and I really want it in my house!!!

[paulthomas]

Absolutely stunning. As an amature workworker and furniture maker for decades I am always blown away by your creativity. Don't ever think you aren't creative because you are. I have started many projects with just a subtle vision and ended pretty close to my want. Your use of colour in replicating the master guitars of the past is fantastic.
Too bad I missed entering your contest but I will certainly keep an eye on your channel, very inspiring. And thanks much for getting so good at YT`ing

[davidsukalec]

HAHAHA! The burn from the fill stick was hilarious. I love the interactions between Cam and Scott almost as much as the beautiful pieces that come out of Blacktail

[renaudtheis]

The voice over is at least 50% of the quality of your video. Good humor and humility, it’s awesome. And I would love to have a desk like that. And that little round blue table is amazing.
Keep making video I’ll keep watching here in France.

Yes I would put this table in my house! My 22 year old grandson is a gamer and I would love to win this for him. He lives here with me and his dad. He doesn't have a room of his own, and our living room is his bedroom. I'm disabled and I spent last year in the hospital more than I did at home. My health is failing and I would love to do something for him before I pass away. I can't afford to do anything great and I have watched quite a few of your videos and I really love your work. I love the banter between you and Scott. I'd rather hear you talk about what you are doing than just watch someone make things with no audio. It shows that you have a personality and are a great guy. This table is so beautiful and I have never seen anything like it. Thank you for sharing and letting me share with you ☺️❤ Peace and Blessings to you and your family.❤

This would make a great media production desk. (Concept artist, Music producer, Streamer, Etc.) The color really pops on camera and I'm sure it's even better in person.

As a south african living in the UK. This table automatically made me think of the african sunsets I miss so much. I would love to have this table in my home office. This table is a masterpiece. You are so talented.. 😊

[santiagovilchisbarreto]

Absolutely love that you aren't just a woodworker, but also an artist and likes to try new stuff!

[dianerandall]

as a childcare provider i have had many kindergarteners come through my door and i can honestly say i would happily hang that piece of art on my fridge any day. even the testers would make great coasters or sandwich boards...thanks for sharing your process, i always enjoy.

[luisraulvelazquez]

I will love to have that in my house!!!! Talks about loves, passion, anger and perseverance!
