I just watched your channel, you did not purchase this table bud.

[@ElizabethEaton-q8p]

I am a wood and table nut and I would have you build one off your tables and then design my house around it. Just appreciate your skill and how you put love into what you do. Some of the woods are so beautiful and deserve to be showcased this way. ❤ from New Zealand

Kinda surprised to see you use those plywood blocks under the skis! Might have either used pre cast clear epoxy blocks our routed and filled after the initial pour. Either way, great video!

[@ninobreznik9354]

Seriously... what even was that?

[@errwb404]

I thought he'd route and fill them also. Realistically, who's getting under that table, but it doesn't seem like Cam to let a detail like that slide. He could've even made them a bit of a feature if he made little mountain shaped stands like they were spanning peaks. Idk, it's still a cool table.

[@Juze81]

I was thinking same. Why wooden blocks? Why?

[@BlacktailStudio]

This is one of those “seeing how the sausage is made” details. I never considered it would matter since nobody will be under the table, but I have around 40 of these comments in the first hour. So rest assured, my next table like this will have optical grade crystal stand-offs to keep the minions at bay 😊

[@jamesheid4660]

@@BlacktailStudio lol glad to hear it. And I do completely understand where you are coming from. Just surprised is all!

[@gfresh353]

This was a well told story and an interesting build. I can only imagine the challenge of making an all-epoxy table. Nice work! I like the overall build. It came out great!

[@AUCharger]

Wow the blue hue idea is brilliant! Good job! Always love your videos. I'm not even into woodworking, I just like your videos haha

[@Grimmwoldds]

It's an old hack. The USN has quite a few white(!!!) uniforms which are required to be brilliant spotless glowing white(these have been around for a LONG time). Age, washing, and simple wear make them yellow(even modern oxygen boosters doesn't exactly prevent nor fix the problem. So if you go to a navy exchange, you'll see bottles of blue dye. A couple drops in the wash and voila, brilliant glowing white. It's been going on for over a century.

where have u bn..I know nothing about woodworking but luv your monologues

[@CastorRabbit]

Same. I watch this guy and a British girl that reviews ocean cruise lines. I have zero interest in either subject but I like listening to funny people that are passionate about what they do.

[@andrewlowry2142]

Great storytelling ... and a great endorsement of an ethical craftsman / client relationship. There are lessons to be learnt here. Thanks.

[@KarlaJMO]

Love your customer service approach and holding onto the table for 6 weeks so he didn’t have to pay shipping twice. ❤

[@sahs3811]

The one thing I would have done differently would be to suspend the ski’s on a clear Perspex or Epoxy Block rather than the wood shims which you can see on the reverse side. As one the epoxy is added to the form and sets the clear blocks supporting the ski’s would disappear into the epoxy once set. So the skis would be really be floating the table.

[@brandonfoley7519]

What a surprisingly respectful interaction

[@prattropper]

You should start another KZbin channel on how to treat customer's. I commend you on your consistent caring on the products you make and how you really do care about your customers!!!!!!!!!

[@revolutionautoworks777]

I have never done any woodworking with black walnut, never used epoxy, but i watch your content and find it incredibly inspiring to see the kinds of projects you are creating in your workshop and using your talents. Great job on all of it!

i love how honest you are with this, and im sure the guy buying the table appreciates it too. great video, great ethics.

[@kurtrustin2548]

I'll be the guy who gives you a suggestion (as much as i know you hate them). I know its on the bottom side but it may be better to use small acrylic blocks instead of wood to prop up the ski's so that they better disappear after the resin pour. (only thing i didn't love about the project.)

[@bgross685]

If you build it, I will watch!

Bravo!! I can't compliment you enough on how you included the failed content of silicone to attach the epoxy slab to the metal frame!!! Seriously, well done on this content. You're doing great.

Now he wants another table with poles in clear epoxy and a third with boots. You've got a whole new niche!

@@vincedibona4687 make sure you have enough caps that to fill ot as you like it would be around 1mm (~0.04inches) of space around each cap, gotta hate getting the epoxy into the gaps...

Building custom houses in CO right now seems to be taking 3+ years. I've been driving by houses that are easily in the multi-million range and they have been in construction since pre-covid. Personally would walk away from these since the structure of the house is exposed to the elements for at least two winters now.

Amazing work !!

5million+ views and 80k+ likes in Jun 2024 just 2mo after posting, seems like a pretty popular video to me. So you never really know. People love to hear what you do and see the variety of books you do, to help them get ideas themselves, diy it, and gain knowledge. Thank you for all your work and especially for your detailed explanations. 🙏
