Thank you all so much for the support! Here's a link to the new marking knife if you're interested: blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/pages/marking-knife

[@alexsnow3319]

More Why don't you build the form, then go back over all the seams and apply another layer? It's funny in a way, but you gotta learn at some point? Also, try setting up a spray booth in an active blacksmith and metal shop, lol. With a jerk employee throwing 1" chunks of steel through the plastic sheeting. Not a bad job on the setup, Cam. I would suggest plastic over fiber.

[@eedesign878]

Put your epoxy under vacuum before pouring, you will get rid of the air trapped inside during mixing the epoxy. Way less bubbles, like 99,999% less. I dont know if it is problem with wood but with carbon fiber it helps a lot.

[@joshmajor8662]

[@puritan7473]

I have to say, I didn't appreciate the camera people comment - I am a camera person, and I have NEVER left a negative comment! - we're not all bad!

[@WaffleStaffel]

Maybe a needle descaler for the bubbles?

[@connorb057]

Automotive painting tip: spray the ground with water before you start painting. It encapsulates any dust or debris on the ground and keeps it from spraying up onto the surface.

[@davey12678]

I was just about to ask if that's part of the spraying process.

[@Novice_Mentality]

Car guy here....beat me to it lol. Seen plenty of videos where spraying down the floor in a DIY paint booth helps reduce those contaminants. Doesn't completely get rid of them, but the difference is significant.

[@ItsDobbs]

I was about to comment this same thing!

[@Flornmonk]

This guy paints.

[@Omni11B]

Also seal the tarps together and to the floor. That air extractor is just pulling shit from the shop in through the gaps. (FYI I'm not an automotive guy, just a guy with a fraction of your shop.)

[@discodubber85]

Ok. I’ve done the DIY paint booth. I can give you a few pointers. 1) You need to use PLASTIC drop cloth. Fabric drop cloth has loose fibers that can blow around. 2) You need to put the drop cloth at top, sides, and bottom, and they need to be taped together to seal the area. Also, tape around your ventilation unit. 3) Your “doorway” needs to be double flapped. By that, I mean that an overlap isn’t enough. Where the curtain parts to allow you access, you need another drop cloth over the gap to prevent the gap from opening up and letting dust in. 4) You need more slack on your air hose than you actually need because you need to tape it down and seal the drop cloth around it. 5) You should be wearing booties over your shoes. They’re not just for protecting your shoes, they’re also to keep any dust and crud from your shoes from getting blown around. Basically, be as OCD as possible when it comes to prepping the area. Maybe bring your wife out to check the area? Lol

[@_iphern]

Another tip: get the floor wet before spraying, prevents any dust/debris from the floor getting blown/sucked up.

[@mxerable]

Another tip from someone who did this kind of spray booth in their garage: Lay out some Newspaper on the floor and wet it down with a watering can, It prevents dust from getting airborne and paint sticking to the floor.

[@ericlee8231]

Well said

[@RickSchiver]

[@Kevlar187]

[@cineblazer]

[@laurencapwell180]

Engineer's painting tip: After you set up your booth, run a hepa air filter inside the booth for several hours to remove dust and debris from the air. Keep it running while the piece is drying to keep the air as clean as possible. Also, if proper ventilation allows use plastic drop cloths for the walls instead of cloth. Cloth gives off lint and dust particles, but plastic is much cleaner and won't contaminate the space. Make sure the floor is clean (wet helps) and wear a fresh clean suit. If your booth is sealed from floor to ceiling, then most contamination will come from your clothing. Also make sure the ceiling of your booth is closed so that contamination can't float in from outside. Once your booth is set up and clean, make sure you run the air filter for a few hours before you start.

[@shen1801]

Mix that with water on the floor, and you wont kick up debris while you are coating it as well. This should be more than enough for a home shop.

[@tobetinkering]

@@shen1801 I painted in my uncles garage and wetted down the walls also and got a decent finish

[@-_-naab-_-]

@@shen1801 good comment you had same toughts as me!

[@un7ucky]

he also has no where for the air to come in except from the dusty ceiling, its not helping

[@user-yg5mi9tt2u]

If you haven’t figured out the dust problem yet from your DIY spray booth, it could be because you were using organic material drop cloths which have minuscule fibers. When the drop cloths are moved or bumped, they will drop fibers in the air and end up in your work. Could consider using plastic or spray your drop cloths with resin or another substance, which could bind all the small fibers, but still allow flexibility in the cloth. Just a thought, not sure I’m right. Also, your intake side of your booth if opening is at the top, your particulate matter is falling from the ceiling and ending on your work while being sucked through your vent at the bottom. Sealing your booth at the top and adding an additional filter at the bottom would create a lower entry point and exit point for your air intake and output and may keep particulate matter towards the bottom of your booth.

[@agracer1000]

First thing I thought as well, seal the top!

[@argentimaginationjewlery6020]

[@aaroncook8890]

[@joewwilliams]

The real epoxy tables are the friends we made along the way!

[@Zercell]

It would be interesting to one day see a table where you take advantage of the bubbles from the epoxy and turn them into a feature

[@jimmykelly5928]

Yo that's a great idea. I saw an epoxy table that had an accidental bubbling issue that ended up looking almost cool, but doing it on purpose would be super dope.

[@Danielism]

Yeah induced bubbles, then fill the bubbles with another colour. And then seal over them. Would be a cool experiment.

[@wiseguy5313]

Waterfall style table into bubbles…???

[@Zercell]

Perhaps taking advantage of how the bubbles can often look like they're glowing when lighted the right way

[@frednoble3547]

Or lots of levels of surface bubbles in very thin lifts could look like the epoxy is fizzing!

[@mattrowland8425]

The small accident on your first table is what made it so good. This one looks like it has a big black line through the middle of it. You should make it more organic with more “accidents“ more organic transitions from black to natural wood. Amazing work ethic.👏

[@user-pt5nm2hx9p]

I hate tubers that stand in front of the camera and talk about what they are going to be doing and showing a fire for ever. That’s the reason that I really like Blacktail, you talk in the background while showing what you’re doing! Excellent, keep them coming!!

[@gordy15604]

I will never make big resin projects or slab furniture, but your understated humor still makes this one of my very favorite channels.

[@slimdout]

From a fellow woodworker who was an auto body guy in a past life... canvas is fabric and holds dust and the like, bringing it into your booth. Plastic makes for a cleaner booth. Also, if you wet the floor a bit, it will hold down a lot of dust and light debris that you're finding in your finish. Makes the early and in between stages a lot easier on you. 🤘 Also, more. love these outside-the-box builds. Keep rockin on, man.

[@nickzeigler3134]

100% correct. Canvas for gust control, 5mil+ plastic sheeting on the inside for dust control. Have a filter on the passive INLET side to the 'booth' and keep the outlet(s) at or below floor level. Clean everything, then mist all surfaces with water and leave a decent amount on the floor. Bring in the slab, tack it clean, wipe down with fast drying spirits of some kind, then spray and pray. Sand, repeat. @Blacktail Studio - inflatable paintbooths are a thing! I also like using the cheap carports from Harbor Freight.

[@josiespreitzer1690]

Would spraying the canvas walls with water (as well as the floor) keep dust from getting on the project surface?

[@truckguy6.7]

You were also brushing up against the canvas which was dislodging the dust particles.

[@bv1726]

Ditto Real Fehlany's remarks. I helped a friend paint a home-built plane a few years back and we created a 'plastic' lined spray booth. We washed down the plastic with a hose and dampened the floor before spraying. We also had an air supply setup similar to what Marc T. described above. It worked really well and the plane won some prizes for its finish at aviation fly-in events.

[@VelebitMountainMan]

I work in construction and build hospitals. Part of what we do is build infection control so dust doesn't escape the site and infect patients. Never use drop clothes, they are filled with stuff. The best solution for you is Zip Poles, visqueen and tape. Add a zipper or two for access. Install some plywood over the joists, paint it so it seals up the pores and can be taped nicely. Install a negative air machine on one side and another on the opposite side. One machine will run negative and the other positive so you aren't sucking dust from the exterior. Tape all your joints including floor, ceiling and walls. You can adjust the negative air to compensate for the spray gun. Pretty clean and easy solution, whole set up is about $1,500. All the cost is in the negative air machines and the filters.

[@clericalthoughts]

I would LOVE a table from a series like this!!!

[@user-et4fb7yu9e]

Your dedication to perfect is off the hook

[@Zercell]

It's always impressive how you persevere and continue through errors and accidents to create something stunning

[@sshep7119]

If you intend to do this DIY spray booth again, look into buying a small wedding tent with all the wall panels. The fabric drop cloth do nothing but release the kraken when it comes to finish work. The PVC wedding tents don't do that, plus they have a canopy which is huge as a significant amount of debris is dislodged from the ceiling from the airflow of the paint gun. I saw another commenter mentioned wetting down the ground (you would be amazed at how much dust gets kicked up). Having a dedicated spray hose, or get a hose cover that is single use. The spray gun is clean, the painter suit is clean, but everyone forgets the damn hose for some reason. If you really want to get obnoxious with the prep and clean you can hook up a negative and positive to your suit and your part. If you think your suit is up to the challenge, try taking a really clean part and rubbing it on your suit. Wait until you see how much debris collects on the suit just from static. If you must stick with the drop cloths, buy a garden pump sprayer and fill it with water, right before you do the final tack spray the drop cloths to the point they are wet. Keep at it, there are so many lessons that are learned only through trial by combat.

I am a certified fan of this channel. A major that I worked with in the Army once said to me. "I know that you make mistakes but I just can't catch you at them." To which I replied "Sir it's not about making mistakes, it knowing how to fix them." That principle is what keeps me coming back for more of BlacktailStudio projects. You make mistakes but watching you fix them is as informative as watching you start the project. It is so enjoyable to watch your programing, you don't talk so fast that I have to hit rewind 2 or 3 times and you really do create some outstanding pieces. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks.

Having been to the giant redwood forests and seen the hundreds of years worth of forest fire damage on some of these beautiful trees, I think the burned redwood look tells such a rich story about the life cycle of a redwood. And on top of that, you made it look stunning! The black textured burned areas contrast beautifully with the smooth, rich red/ brown of the surfaced areas. Well done, sir 👏

[@perniciouspete4986]

Doesn't fire burn from the outside? The inner part of the wood is burned instead of the outside.

[@AdaSoto]

​@@perniciouspete4986 Redwood bark is fire resistant. When fires do get to them it's not uncommon for the fire to work its way between where the root/tree transition is then slowly smolder, hollowing out the tree. There were trees where I would camp as a kid that were alive and healthy but you could climb through a burnt crack into the trunk and see the charing.

[@sams6090]

A real good idea for doing a sterile work place area/spray booth is to isolate it like you did and then use a water sprayer with a fine mist to knock down any floating dust. Also don't use a fabric cloth to isolate things as every single time you touch it, a little bit of the fabric will break off and fall down onto your surface. Use a plastic sheet or at the least try treating your fabric first to strengthen it and make sure to never ever touch any of the walls or disturb the sheeting. Also don't have a blower going inside of the area as it'll still kick dust up and around. Also it might seem excessive but you can try doing a secondary layer of sheeting/fabric with a space between the two layers large enough for you to walk through. That way it limits any external air from entering the clean space when you walk between them through the void.

[@BlacktailStudio]

I appreciate that. I started doing the water treatment. Helped some. But I think you're right on the fabric wall part. Need plastic instead

[@dominicdiclemente8877]

As a person who is indifferent to this table, what I love the most about this video is how you take every challenge and every error as an opportunity to learn and perfect your craft.

I know this video is 3 mo old, sorry for the delayed comment. I’m not an automotive painter, but do specialize in staining and finishing raw wood among other things. I have a couple little ideas that may help. The first thing I noticed with your set up was the open top so anything near the rafters in your shop was free to come visit your wet piece. Secondly, the drop cloths used are fabric, which can have hairs and lint itself. Even the moving in and out of the booth could have been disturbing those. And of course anything that made it in while the curtain was open or on your feet or statically attracted to your “paint jammies.”As I like to call them. My recommendation for at home paint booths are actually really easy to get. They have plastic ones now that are sealed all sides and have a zippered entrance. I’ve seen both ones with a frame you can set up and ones that attach to the ceiling to hold open. I’ve seen them at Home Depot and Lowe’s. I’d be willing to wager they are available at some paint supply stores most places. I hope that helps with the dust and hairs a bit. Thank you for making these beautiful projects. You’ve inspired me to add slab projects to my list of goals. I even have a few giant beautiful knotty maple logs that I’ll be having milled and kiln dried before long.

Dust tip. Dust is ALWAYS in the air. No matter how clean a house or booth is. My advice is to have a piece of 1” plywood larger than your project and have it hover about 1” above your project while it is drying to prevent dust and hair from getting into your finished epoxy. Remember that every time you enter the area you have your piece you are bringing dust and hair with you. I would love to see more projects like this I love the look of the burnt wood

It’s utterly spectacular!!! You’re truly talented. I’m binge watching … lol Keep’m coming!! From Canada 🇨🇦

[@BrianLiming]

more: I don't mind seeing the problems you run into. I enjoy the problem solving you go through. Keep it up.

More, This table looks phenomenal and the overall look of a natural char vs a painted or dyed black is amazing. I really enjoy the look of the transitions between the live edge and epoxy running through the center. I think you did a fantastic job.

[@gramof5396]

Cam, what I like about you videos is your humble attitude, telling the good results as well as the bad ones! A wonderful way to teach people watching this channel. If we had a redo button on life this is what I would have done for a career, however back in those days “young ladies” didn’t get those opportunities. I am retired enjoying you videos please keep them coming. ❤

[@juliebeans5000]

More! And really loving the different types of wood. Of course the walnut is lovely. But part of our fun is watching you solve new problems in a creative way.

[@yaBigTree]

One of the most beautiful tables I've seen

[@almcrae3491]

More of these please. You said in this video that you didn't really like the fact that you could only see the wood grain in the burnt section of the original piece in direct sunlight but personally I think that it looks better than the effect in this new piece. High end furniture like you're doing needs that wow factor and I think that the original burnt table amplifies this. When people walk up to the table they're already blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship but then,as they walk around the light hits just right and all of a sudden the hidden gem of that burnt woodgrain hits them.

More! More of all of it! Your channel is the one I most look forward to updates on, and it's stuff like this - from the project itself, to your honesty about your "mistakes", to your humor that keeps me coming back every time!

[@radoris7112]

....do you know the truth? for you it seems dificult to embrace it.... please don't suggest overwise... ok? i guess this is the end for the fancyseekers.... like you....

[@abhinavm5952]

some fancy restaurants have tables with typical brown wood finish on the sides, and have a channel down the middle with pebbles filling it. I absolutely love that style. But this table, is that style turned up to 100, especially with the gloss you've achieved and the burnt wood finish. Lovely. also, definetely MORE.

[@JoeBrinkman66]

That table, like most of your projects, is absolutely stunning. Love the contrast between the burnt wood and the raw wood.

[@andersonbarbosa4405]

More of these tables PLEASE! They're amazing looking and watching you go through the process is both funny and satisfying. Perfectionists feel each other's pain!!!

[@fuzzyelm1]

You can’t be serious! That thing is ugliest trash ever it looked better before he touched it !

[@mangopies2260]

​@@fuzzyelm1Sometimes before you comment remember that no one cares how you feel when you say something negative like this so next time you wake up and think you want to make someone feel sad or disheartened just remember this. KEEP YOUR FEELINGS TO YOUR SELF.

[@fuzzyelm1]

@@mangopies2260 look it’s ugly ! If you think it’s not ugly then your stupid ! Simple facts ! Sorry I hurt your feelings! Didn’t know Ives’s dealing with a second grader !

[@andersonbarbosa4405]

​@@mangopies2260best reply ever! ❤

[@smokedaodblunt3755]

More! I think your work is amazing and your sense of humor makes a very enjoyable video

[@tazb745]

More , I'm in love with the desk/table top. Thanks 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

[@tibbers5211]

I love Scott! His input and your back and forth is so good and I feel like he really helps bring that soundboard into things, in a way that helps make the projects better? Not that you're not great already, but he's like an in-person audience, and the camera work is just 👌

[@doctimw]

MORE Your idea of using the metallic portion on the centered charr was AWESOME!!! It really makes the charr texture come to life! It added depth that I don't believe could have been done any other way! You Sir are a Master Craftsman. I love the way you gently put the "Naysayers" in their place in such a gentle, yet to the point way. Thank you for your honesty and humility.

[@UnconventionalChef]

MORE Just came across your video, and not only did I learn something, I was also entertained, and I got to watch a handsome man. And the table was absolutely gorgeous, you have a new subscriber!

[@123456bpb]

Not dangerous at all. You had control at all times and as a plus, you had a plan for unseen events. Keep up the good work. We all love it.

[@chartier67]

More of these types of videos. It looks absolutely incredible, never ever change the way you do things and don't stop challenging yourself. Also, I for one , appreciate the fact you leave your oppsies in your videos.

[@tylersmith9532]

As an automotive painter of 20 years and wanting to break away from the trade your work is a real eye opener as to how wide of an area my trade overlaps others. Keep up the fantastic work brother! Your whole garage spray set up did better than most shops in my area that have actual spray booth setups 😂 don't be too discouraged.

[@chrism5508]

So true, most people will spray and put out crap products because most people would never notice. It's a sad reality. You can get away with garbage work because unless you've worked it, most people don't even notice.

[@toastedt140]

​@chrism5508 If you buy any of this junk that's on you lol. I keep old saw blades and paint little sunsets on them and old ladies snap them up like they're hotcakes.

[@ADI121195]

That’s a beautiful table I love the burnt wood natural wood and epoxy combo

[@joymathein9078]

Definitely more. Way to persevere. It turned out stunning!

[@echoc7213]

More; the grain in the charred wood really popped, and it looks great! I love the contrast between the charred and uncharred redwood, with the charred live edges as well. Just saw the bidding is up to $11k! Congrats!

[@fielddranzer]

I will say, the contrast between the walnu- I mean, redwood and the burnt part actually makes this look pretty solid. It has the same appeal as the burnt table from years ago with the one un-burnt corner, but just so much more of it. Pretty good job on this one, to you and Scott ^^

[@micakeeley8551]

MORE MORE MORE!!! Backyard auto sprayer here. Done plenty of jobs which have ended in dusty, bug filled finishes so I don't have any recommendations for that however something you might consider is a paint depth gauge. I feel like your coats may have been a bit light and so causing a decent looking orange peel. If you go a thicker coat straight off the gun, the orange peel is a lot less. There is a fine line though between thick and looking perfect and a run in your paint. If you have a paint depth gauge you can see that it's going on thick enough and you have plenty of room for cutting and polishing. Now this works on automotive panels and I'm sure it should work on timber but I can't be 100%. Maybe something you could look into if you were interested. Thanks. Love your work! Huge fan from Aussie!
