The Best Thing I've Ever Made

Blacktail epoxy table workshop: www.blacktailstudio.com/the-e...
This extending dining table was one of the toughest woodworking projects I've ever taken on. I partnered with Nikon to make this video on the Nikon Z 6II which, as you can see, seriously upped my video quality. In the end, I made an extendable walnut dining table that goes from 108" (275cm) to 140" (355cm) with two continuous grain (mostly) leaf extensions to make it a totally functional expanding table. When not in use there is no visible hardware, screws, or brackets that get in the way of daily use. The wood I used is locally salvaged black walnut. I used two sequential slabs, also referred to as a bookmatch. Bookmatched tables form a symmetrical, mirror image of each other and are my favorite style of table. You could take everything applied to this table and use it with your own DIY live edge table project. Whether it was a bookmatched live edge table or a single slab natural edge table, this continuous grain leaf extension would work. #Sponsored

Cam, as long as you, the creator, need it to be. That’s why we watch, because we like the content you’re creating! Excellent work!

[@alanalan8769]

Cam...15 or 30 or 45 if needed to get what you feel is enough to get all the important things of the build. There are times for each length of video, and you and your woodworking make it easy to watch a longer vid as well as a shorter vid. Keep up the awesome content!

[@dragonbreathsmaugh559]

Jordan Bock I totally agree. Great projects and loving the table Cam. Will you make chairs or benches to go with ? I am appalled by the price of raw wood. I am a fan of oddly shaped off cuts which can include the bark like used to be found in old type woodyards which always had a huge heap of pieces which were inexpensive which you could trample over and move stuff around to find what you wanted. The old guy who owned it a mine of info about types of wood and what was best for the thing you were making. We lose expertise and knowledge every day sadly. We need your channel badly - a bit of a poem ! 🤗 🦩

CAM, 30 minutes can be a drag when they just overlay music, and so on. Your videos tell a story, and I never skip around. Even if I have to pause and come back later, I watch the videos 50% to see your craftsmanship/ learn new tricks, and 50% to hear you tell the story of each piece. Thanks for all the hard work, and that Nikon is sharp!

[@mikefendel]

Cam, I am not a woodworker, but I am a woodworker admirer. You do wonderful work and your narations are entertaining and informative. Make the videos as long as you need to to fully cover the build. That way those of us who are interested will not miss out on any details. Thanks so much and I look forward to many more of your videos!

[@davidhite1868]

Cam, as far as I'm concerned, the longer the better.

[@JohnDotBomb]

Nah, I like my pants short ...oh, video length? I don't mind long videos. 10-30 min is probably my comfort zone though

[@chunkymurps]

@@JohnDotBomb I just left a comment on another woodworkers channel saying pretty much the same thing. It depends on the content but 30mins is about what i'm comfortable with as well. There's other channels i want to watch and i only have X amount of time to spend watching KZbin videos per night. I'd rather see shorter videos more often rather than a long one every now and then.

[@blazkobal2317]

Cam, imo there's no need to make the videos shorter. I find them very relaxing and your content is of such high quality that I don't even think of skipping a part of the video. There's just a constant flow of interesting and useful information.

[@koenhendrickx1142]

I totally agree with this. I am European and when I pass by clips/content made by Americans, they stretch the video desperately with nonsense. :D Cam is the first American I witness, whom shows and explains just the right things to keep you hooked the entire video, whatever the length of the video. Great work! One of the very rare occasions I subscribed, after barely seeing a few minutes of content.

[@w98seeng]

Cam, finally, someone who makes a video without annoying background music. Just a good voice explaining what he is doing and why. I have seen videos where the background music is louder that the voice of the person talking. Awesome work. Your tables look amazing and I love the process you go through. I also work alone when doing projects, so its interesting to see how you do some heavier things. Love the leaves. Trying to get a seam in wood to look like it isn't there is almost impossible. You did a perfect job. As for the length of your videos, I have ADD and can't concentrate for too long, but your content is educational and very interesting, so a 30 minute video is perfect.

[@oldworldforgejayvenable1578]

Cam, I don't mind the longer videos. I believe if a person (like myself) genuinely likes you and your content they'll stay and watch. You do amazing work. I am a blacksmith / bladesmith and I find myself wanting to incorporate what I do with what you do. So, thank you!

I most admire your willingness to take on tasks that require new skills and/or have a serious chance of disaster. I don’t er want to see the disaster, but as someone who takes half an hour to make a box joint jig because I hate screwing up I can honestly say you are an inspiration.

[@terrygere1617]

I have been a general contractor for over 30 years, and a rank amateur furniture builder forever. Wood is my thing. In my opinion you are a true artist and I enjoy the hell out of your videos.

The psychology works for any kind of project....possibly even life itself.

[@steveschutte4990]

Whenever I'm faced with the question of how long a video or written document should be, I think back to my Sophomore year of HS and the advice of my English teacher. She said that "the length of a paper should be like the length of a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject but short enough to still be interesting." It's the only thing I learned in high school that I still use on a regular basis.

Cam, I like the longer content that’s targeted to each project. That’s what I want to learn from. Thank you!

[@michaelmccullin5725]

I support longer content, when the content is quality wood being sanded, cut, joined or finished. Or worked in ANY manner. KZbin is my favorite form of video entertainment, so bring it!

Cam, this video did not feel half an hour long! I started watching with the knowledge that I could skip ahead, when I got bored. I did not skip ahead. Also, that camera is really great!

Cam I had no problem making it through the video fortunately I like most projects you are doing. I enjoy learning through your builds and your mistakes. It was long but I like the detail you are covering. I am just starting with some epoxy and have worlds to learn but I am really liking your tutorials. Thanks for sharing your talent and your craft

Cam, don't try to stick to any specific time. Take all the time you feel you need. We are here to learn. I personally don't want to miss anything. Thank you for what you do and how you do it.

Cam, i'm an amateur woodworker who aspire to, one day, live from this work. The moment you realized you cut the extension wrong, i felt it in my gut. Even when you measure once, twice, thrice, mistakes happens. When i do it, i feel furious with myself, and i tend to abandon what i'm doing, to never come back. But you said "i bit my tongue a little bit, took a walk around, and then came back and did it the right way". These words reached me. They made me realize it's ok to make mistakes, you just need to take a deep breath and start over. Thanks for your videos!

Cam, a creative video takes the time it takes. If your teaching or dispensing information you don’t stop mid word, sentence, paragraph, page, chapter or book. You go till the end. When all information has been conveyed. I just came across your videos and I enjoyed them very much. Keep up the good work. Your burnt table with the custom legs on eBay was cool. At $10,000 with 68 bids I can’t afford but you have shown me how to make one. That is more valuable to me, the knowledge to make for myself, to do for myself. And to share such knowledge is an even greater valuable blessing. Thank you…

The flame on that wood is absolutely gorgeous. Well done!

[@octoberashley7304]

Cam, I am so glad I found your channel. To watch someone create art has no time limit, and if they are also teaching well, that's even better. It is a gorgeous piece keep doing you.

[@xeygar]

This channel has become such a habitual thing for me at work. I literally just sit and have your videos play while I work and love listening to the narration and the work being done in the background and its just so satisfying. Never stop man, love this content so much.

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

I love the longer videos!! I could watch woodworking all day 😂

[@merckxy54]

What a master piece. Great table, great workmanship. My father was a carpenter and i really appreciate the craftmanship that goes into making something like this. Good length of video, shorter and we would have missed your skills with the machinery. Well done, thanks for sharing with us!

[@shannonelam6766]

Cam, a 30 minute video is totally acceptable for a project like this so that every one of the many steps is covered or at least touched on. Thanks for the video and the camera did an excellent job!

[@DaveKrick]

Cam, this didn't even feel like 30 minutes. I normally like quick to the point videos but the visuals and transitions were great so I loved it. Great job.

[@katz6983]

I just found your videos! Your work is amazing and don’t be so hard on yourself! I am astonished at how beautiful your work is. ❤

[@bagadixs2943]

cam I could watch your videos all day long. super inspiring which is why I started building tables and doing epoxy.
