Perfect Finish in a Dusty Shop II - Gloss Osmo

[@cdbflynow]

Cam, did not think this video was a bit too fast, It was way too fast for me. Like some others I would like a clarification as to what exactly the residue is that you leave behind. Keep up the great videos. Paul

[@BlacktailStudio]

I mean more of a fine powder than residue. I talk faster than I think sometimes.

[@ridercoachdanielle3220]

My name, Cam, I actually LOVE that you go really fast. I came here to know what you know, not to spend time with you and watch you mug for the camera and make stupid jokes and gestures. (You don't actually do that, but that's typically what I have to sit through in order to Know What This Guy Knows.) Also, I'm a fairly long-term odie's user, and I work mainly with figured woods that I want a polished-marble shiny finish on, WITHOUT eighteen coats of something that stinks and also leaves brush strokes and needs a long massage and a cup of tea and a long talk in between coats. So this was really helpful for me. Thanks for putting all this out there!

[@waynehoar4187]

Cam, As always this was a great presentation. You hit the highlights and all the unique processes. I really appreciate not having to watch 15 minutes of you routing a dado. Great tempo.

[@lisapie777]

Cam - we are the lucky ones who have benefited from your career change! Truly amazing talent. I don't always leave a comment, but I've watched every one of your videos. Again, truly amazing!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks for the comment Lisa!

[@nickcOfficial]

Cam- fast, quick and direct that’s how I like to take in my info cheers from Australia

[@BlacktailStudio]

Cheers nick!

[@GaryBrown-c1d]

Just getting started with osmo on a shelf, watching several different channels for tips. Your rapid fire production is easy to watch and learn from, rewinding as I need to if I missed something. Thanks for posting, I like the new finish.

[@randyowens264]

I have always loved a glass-like finish on my wood projects! I think that it looks better refinished, especially when you buffed it and then hung it on the wall. What a shine! Thanks for the videos and what you give to the woodworking community!!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks randy!

[@garthbowen9966]

So great to get quick access to the information I was looking for, without long preamble or talking off specific topic. Great job Cam!

[@azuriterocks2152]

Cam, shiny and you can feel the grain then I say this is better! Making my shop me is something I'm loving. You are a great inspiration

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks bud! Appreciate your feedback here

[@lalosandoval2347]

Cam, I just have to start doing something to see just how much I´ve have learned from your videos which I love very much, thanks a lot

[@AlterdA4]

high gloss adds more contrast, contrast is good in that it shows more of the beautiful grain of the wood. beautiful!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Agreed Tim!

[@Zomrem]

Thank you! Have used Osmo (happily) on black walnut before, and now I'll use your info to up my game.

[@marcovelez942]

OMG! I remember watching the original video for this piece and at that moment I didn't think it could get better however you did just that you perfected what was already perfect and I absolutely love this finish 💯🙂

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Marco! One of my oldest subscribers!

[@tomlunn7266]

Hey Cam.. the decision to redo with oil was spot on... it seems to give the grain depth and evenness. Keep the videos and tutorials coming.. cheers

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Tom!

[@Eric-469]

Cam, no question. Thanks for the great content. Cheers

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Eric!

[@kevinkimball1650]

Cam, you’re doing great. Don’t second guess. I love and use the Osmo finish. Now I need to get a light stick.

[@jodyrohde6938]

Cam, I enjoy your videos and you’re putting out a lot of great information. You do speak quickly, but I understand why. You have a great shop.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Jody!

[@MrShelzy]

Cam, the high gloss works well, shows off the unbelievable amount of patience you have your finishing method and mastery. The only thing you suck at is having confidence in your videos! lol What you share is valuable, relevant, and tremendously generous. Can't see why anyone would stop midway thru.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Oh thanks Jeff!

[@kevinmcskimming8419]

Cam. Thanks again. I’m a new subscriber from Edinburgh Scotland. I’m a trained carpenter and looking into combining epoxy and wood when making tables etc. Really appreciate your input.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Kevin!!

[@quotidien_]

Cam, you can't go wrong with too much gloss. You did the right thing with the sign.

[@matthewyaron5827]

Who doesn't have 5 minutes? Deschutes the Abyss!! Great info I've been getting back into this being a hobby again!!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Love it Matt

[@JillofAllTrades2]

Cam, thanks for including link to step-by-step blog post. I didn’t think it was too fast. Because it’s video, I usually pause, rewind & replay is there’s something specific I need to hear/see again in more details. (On purpose but by accident.) Starting reading your blog. So the hard wax finish can be used on hardwood flooring? AWESOME! Because I can refinish my floors in sections vs having to refinish an entire floor (as in 1st floor & 2nd floor in 1920s house) an not worry about various stop-start points.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Anytime Jill!

[@stephenmukwevho1359]

CAM Really like the content & speed of the videos no complaints The piece definately looks better with this finish...the shine is perfect Thumbs up!!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Stephen!

[@kellyh5405]

Hey Hey from Canada! Cam, first and foremost, no you aren't making these videos too long! Please don't feel the need to rush through them. The fact that you take the time to give us all this valuable info is amazing. I'll sit here and listen to an extended version.... because I'm learning valuable stuff!! Question for you about this finish. I noticed that you put your sign back up with a couple rags on your hands. Does this finish lend itself to showing finger marks? Can you use it for a table top situation without seeing finger/hand marks in the reflections?

[@BlacktailStudio]

It’s kinda sensitive to fingerprints for the first week or so for some reason. Good for a table after that. Good question Kelly!

[@lazarobento8792]

Cam, I really learned a lot through this video. I thought your detailed description was on point. So much info to cover while keeping me engaged. Thank you!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Lazaro!

[@mrshally454]

Can, tbh I like the new finish better great work

[@my2monkies]

Cam, no question this week...just a Happy Easter and thanks for being there.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Greg! Stay safe

[@stephenmarone1020]

Cam, thanks for the all the excellent videos. While I do not comment on all, I do watch all through the end. I have just started to jump into some projects, slowly building up my shop, and have learned a lot by watching your videos. Thank you! To your question; the waxed finish is amazing and is the preferred finish.

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s Stephen!

[@clickster1883]

Cam, you are an artist. Keep up the good work, both w the wood and the video production.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks man!!

[@bradhexumOSM]

Cam, I enjoy these videos. When you're doing a before & after, or a comparison, if you can, at the end show the difference side by side or back to back.

[@BlacktailStudio]

That would have been good. Thanks!

[@abydosianchulac2]

Hi, Cam, great video as always. I know you've moved on from Osmo for your builds, but since I haven't seen anyone mentioning it in the comments I have to ask: the ketchup/condiment squirt bottles you used. They're ingenious, but how long were you able to store the Osmo finish in them for?

[@chairman72]

Cam, I have started using Osmo Polyx and I adore it. Knowing that the 3011 can be glossy will fix an issue I was running into which was customers wanted gloss but I wanted a "good" finish. Great how to once again. Thanks.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Cheers!

[@Greg-fs8np]

Very helpful video! I used Osmo WoodWax finish with ebony stain on a white oak Pederson dining table sanded to 220 based on Thomas Throop's design. Despite using what I thought was minimal amounts applied with a white pad and lots of hand buffing till little or no stain showed, I had trouble with the finish looking patchy and dull.. I waited 24 hours and applied Osmo clear oil satin finish pretty much as shown here, again using a white pad and hand application. The pad removed what appeared to be excess stain and I kept going with clean white pads and paper towels till little or no further stain showed. The result was a dramatic improvement both in the evenness of the stain and a very nice satin finish. The oil appeared to remove the excess stain. I suspect my technique was far from ideal but the result was very good. I hope this might help someone else who has a similar problem.

[@bsw051]

Hey cam. I like them both. Really like the idea of being able to still feel the grain. Keep it up

[@BlacktailStudio]

It’s the only way to go!

[@chrisshort5711]

Cam - I’d love to see a video on more generally how you use your buffer, answering questions like: Do you have to replace the pads each time? Are there different speeds/settings? When does it make sense to invest in a tool like this? Thanks!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Good suggestion Chris

[@kylescott6225]

Damn! Awesome.! Got the reg job, been lol garage woodworking for 5yrs with the wife. Wish i had more space to adventure into more critical projects

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Kyle!

[@rdotson159]

Love how it turned out. I'm going to use some Osmo over some epoxy covered Dawn Redwood cookies to see how it comes out. Thanks for all your great videos.

[@shashankb2191]

Cam I saw all ur video's in one shot from ur first video to this last one with out skiping One thing u don't miss is telling abt that big work shop, u don't skip mentioning any steps I really loved this chanel And waiting for your reply

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s a lot of watching my friend!

[@WoodcraftSupply]

Good video here Cam, we used to carry Odies, but do not any more. I personally liked their stuff. I have passed this video along to our finishing product manager. Appreciate the video, and great sign using Osmo.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Very cool! And I like a mile from one of your locations 😊

[@TedAlexander24]

Hey Cam. The original finish is where I learned about Odies Oil. You saved my ass because I had over sanded a maple table and the finish blotched every attempt. But I must say that gloss looks awesome too.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Ted! Hope it helps

[@scoobiedew82]

HI Cam, thoroughly enjoy your videos and your attention to quality! I really like the way Osmo works on wood for a great finish, however, for your sign I liked the original better because glossy signs create too much glare to see the words and art. Not a big deal, just my preference. Thanks for helping us get better at this stuff!! Ken Pruitt

[@BlacktailStudio]

Fair! It actually reflects too much now and doesn’t look great in videos 😬

[@andyinasia0]

Cam, just found you buddy. I can feel a binge coming on lol. Like your style and way of doing videos. Looking forward to watching what else you have done. Stay safe!

[@gzubeck3]

Good to have multiple signs in your shop to show to clientele the different finishes that are available. The more the Merrier! Also, when your having to move thru complex multiple steps it would be nice to have a written synopsis at the end of the video where you can put it on pause and reread the steps in your video.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Check my blog 😊

[@scottdossa8484]

[@sheldonparrish8395]

Cam, I have a couple of questions, as you have time. I have been researching live edge and epoxy wood working as a new hobby, and learned I need to start with very small projects to experiment and have budget friendly failures. 1. How did you embed your logo on this piece and why was the logo not damaged when you refinished it (I asusume it is deep epoxy). 2. Other entities use multiple coats of thick poly coats; but I like your finishes: is this thin oil you use resistant to heat and stain marks? 3. I prefer (for now) lighter (whiter) finishing, hiw might I I achieve that? 4. Can I stain the wood a light or gray color and still retatin that color in the process, and confirm I should stain after expoy pour? You do excellent and professional work and I admire your attention to detail. Thank you for the videos!

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s a lot of questions. I’ll stick with the logo one to avoid a conversation here. It’s CNC’d about 1/4” deep and filled with epoxy. Sands just like wood!

[@marioperic8005]

Hi Cam.. I found you channel few days ago unintentionally and you seemed interesting but I don't subscribe that easy.. Today you came up again with burnt coasters and I subscribed immediately. I gotta say they turned out to be really nice and it got me thinking, what would be a good as well as challenging first project for someone who never even touched epoxy... Since you've said that you do your best to answer every comment I'm counting on your reply or even better - video, after all that was one of the reasons you got me to subscribe. Have a nice day buddy 😉

Cam, hi. I prefer this finish and would have liked a slower approach on this one, as I got a bit lost on the different stages. I have a 16th century farmhouse table that is in desperate need of some TLC. I think the Osmo is the way to go, guess I’ll just have to watch the video over and over! Thank you for the videos and your evident love of wood. Cheers

[@shawnkelly1325]

Cam, I love your videos. I agree with you that you tend to rush a bit. I have specific questions; what grit did you sand to before the first coat of oil? How long do you let the oil stay before you sand? What grits do you work through during your 6 coats of oil application? I've been trying to get better than just okay results with my Osmo oil, thank you in advance for your info.

Cam, thanks for this video. Good to see how a different finish will look. I've got a couple of piece of white oak and another elm which are pretty white in their natural appearance.

[@Lumberhacksteve]

Cam, another great video, not sure you really addressed the title other than saying dust is not really an issue over all when working to achieve a perfect finish. Also not to fast. Could not really see the difference between the 2 to be able to judge other than to say they both looked awesome. Great work and love the large buffer, worth the investment.

Cam, some finishes take 12,000 grit sanding and some take 240 grit. It all depends on what you, the artist wants to accomplish. Your videos are not too fast, very well done. Like in golf, your short game needs to be just as good as your drives. In wood working, your finishing techniques need to be on par with your wood working skills. Take pride in your accomplishments and continue to learn. Thanks Cam.
