I've had comments like this too. I'm not a woodworker or carpenter, but I build RC planes/drones. After over a decade of doing something you're passionate about, of course the skill, experience and tools build up. There's no way I could build the machines I do today, with the tools and skills I had 10 years ago. Do I find it easy now? of course, but for me the journey was the adventure and I'm always willing to learn more and invest in tools that can make things a lot easier.

There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

You don't need to have the capacity to do woodworking in most places (in the US). Community colleges, community centers, non-profit membership shops, etc are available in most communities around the US. I haven't checked out the website that Blacktail Studio mentions but it sounds like a great idea. I was a professional woodworker for several years in my early years. Since then, I've continued woodworking using the above mentioned places. I do have my own handtools and small power tools that I take with me to these shops to avoid the inevitable problems with poorly maintained equipment. I've lived in many small communities around the US and have never been in a place where there wasn't such a shop available. I'd encourage you to take advantage.

If you are willing to work with hand tools, then your kit can be shockingly small and your landlord and neighbors might not even know you're working. Typically a lot less noise & dust. I've seen several woodworkers make it happen on an apartment balcony. For a small project or one off a hand tool kit is often faster than trying to set up a power tool to make something. Power tools are great for lots of repetitive tasks which offsets the time used to set them up. Hand tools are amazingly efficient once you understand and develop the skills how to use them.

I just wanted to say, I love your response to that comment at the end of the video. But honestly, being someone who does woodworking as a hobby and a side hustle, the tools come as you go. Start with the basics and work your way up. Its not going to be instant but you can slowly make some sales and eventually pick up some of the more critical tools to better your product. Oh and I prefer the voiceover. I don't understand why people complain about that.

Tee hee- I'm both! Raise them together usually. Kittens with grown chickens with wire barriers; Manx house kittens with grown toy poodle; older kittens with 8 week old puppy. I love watching all manner of woodworking. A little thought and creativity and it's always possible to come up with a way to adapt that knowledge to one's personal situation. Beautiful products from your workshop.

Thank you for the inspiration! I realize that I've been selling myself too cheap, I've had difficulty with sales in the past, and my response to that difficulty has been exactly wrong. Lowering and lowering and lowering my prices until I got to the point where it's not even worth doing. I absolutely gave up about six years ago, and it's been super depressing. Making stuff is what I do. It's how I've defined myself, and not making stuff feels like I've lost my soul. I'm going to go back at it, and not be afraid to put a little pride into my prices.

It works with houses, I’m pretty sure it’ll work with pieces too - sometimes when something isn’t selling the best move is to *increase* the price 💪 Good luck and thanks for sharing

Regarding "water-popping" the grain: I've tried skipping it when I work on my cutting boards, and it DOES make a difference. It's not that it sands any smoother initially, but it prevents the grain from popping days or even weeks later when it absorbs humidity. The idea is to preemptively pop the grain while you're already sanding so you don't have to re-sand it later. I live in a desert but I still get enough moisture that I can feel the difference between pieces I did and did not wet. Hope that helps!

Cam is right; and he’s awesome, but I gotta put in my two cents. I definitely think it also depends on where you live and the cost of materials. For shits and giggles, I just priced the materials for this project, from where I live. The wood alone would cost me $220 and then something like Rubio monocoat is around $40 for a small container. If I used epoxy for the glue upon bottom, that would add another $50. This project would easy cost be over $300 right now. That might be easy for someone like Cam, who’s got the funds for it, but a guy like me (even though I have a lot of great tools) who is barely making it by right now…. I couldn’t afford to spend that much money not even knowing if they’ll sell or not. Hopefully its cheaper where you live.

I was a dog person until my precious Dewey was killed about 5 weeks ago and 3 days later I became a cat person when Cassie came into my life. That being said, I love your videos. I live in a small rural town on the Northern California coast in a tiny place with no garage or shop space. I have the most rudimentary carpentry tools and loads of driftwood across the street.

I just found this channel yesterday and I've only watched a couple but omg I love the "fan of the week" at the end. That's funny. Considering none of my woodworking makes any money, I guess by that guy's logic, I'm a legit woodwoorker! WOO!

I am a both person. I love dogs and cats. I have 1 dog, an 8-year-old golden retriever, and 2 rescue cats we adopted in February after losing our 14-year-old cat, Charley last November. Those tables are beautiful. I am glad you sold them.

I just found your channel, watched several videos. I really like the talking and explaining. It also shows me why good furniture is so expensive. I got a table $700 that I thought was outrageous in price. Now I see that it really was the steal the woodworker said it was. Thanks

Sir, I absolutely love how you put what you did along side the alternative. I am basically a weekend warrior but I have a lot of the tools. So this is very interesting to watch.

I just became a subscriber and wanted to say that I really appreciate the alternative tools. I am a Dog person. Thank you.

Never considered myself someone good enough to do the carvings like this but after watching what you did I think it's pretty dang cool and I'm more likely to give it a shot now. Thanks again for what you do this is awesome.

My two cats are my shop companions. The three of us just bought a new drill press with the extra money we made doing exactly this type of thing in our small shop. A hobby that more or less pays for itself sure is a nice thing. Beautiful work as always!

Dog and aquariums. Those tables were rad. Keep making cool stuff.

If your viewers really enjoy working with wood, then they know that some of the most beautiful projects are done mostly by hand. Power tools are great but if you want to make something really nice you don’t need all the power tools to do so. Furniture has been built for centuries but we have had power tools for less than a hundred years, you will find a way. Love your videos brother keep it up.

From a dog guy’s perspective… Regarding cutting circles with a router… one technique is to first cut a template out of 1-2” MDF using a pin and a straight bit on your table. Then pre-trim your lumber very close to the finish size. Use double-sided tape to attach the template to the wood blank, and then use the flush trim bit to match up the template. Making the template is a little extra work, but it’s safer than trying ton plunge cut for finish piece, you don’t put a hole in it, it’s repeatable, and you can re-use the template many times…

1) Absolutely a dog person! 2) Love how you made something that could be done by the average joe and proved how well the market would support the price point. Thank you for all that you do!

I like dogs, cats, and dirt bikes, my kids, my wife and whitetail deer hunting. I build stuff out of steel. Came across your vlog one morning and like to see people that create with their hands and mind. It is a gift to be able to do so. The best of the best are the most humble people. Rock on

Now they are my companions. Little Lucy comes in at night and lays in my lap. Never thought I would see me as liking cats. Anyway, thanks for sharing all of this. It really motivates me.

Cats.

I get so much enjoyment from drooling over expensive tools, then going back to my great grandfather's machine and carpentry books to teach myself how to make them all, and that's from before Bell, Edison, In fact, one of the best "Tools" I have found is my enquiring mind coupled to my hands.. but I love your instruction, Kind regards Keith

Dog guy here. Another router turning jig could be a nice touch for doing your table bottoms. Love your work, learned a bunch

"Neither Person" here and just wanted to say I'm seriously considering doing something like this in future to see what will sell. In my line of work of asst golf course superintendent I do a ton of tree removal on the property and a co worker and I in spare time split up and sell as firewood rather than going to the brush pile for burning. Along the way we've been saving the nice lumber like Black Walnut and Cherry that he used for a mantle and slabbed for table top projects. After seeing your channel and this video specifically I think I might just give it shot and see what happens. Looking forward to watching more in the future.

You’re an amazing craftsman and I love your “clap backs” to some of your jealous viewers. 😁 Love your content. I don’t understand why some argue they can’t do what you do bc they don’t have your nice tools. Woodworkers have been making spectacular pieces with hand tools (only) much longer than we have with power tools. Power tools are a new invention in the grand scheme of things. Thank you for your content. Love your channel!

Love them both have always made them live together. If Dog and Cat can so can we.

I'm a dog person, and love all the instructions to help me avoid mistakes.

They look really pretty. I've been watching these types of videos for years and I finally made my first step towards woodworking. I called a local shop and asked the guy for some one on one time to help me make a few cutting boards. We'll see how it goes!

Welcome to the club, dan! Best of luck!

Dogs all the way! Love these tables. Simple yet stunning. Definitely something I could replicate in my tiny shed shop. Good to see the spokeshave out there too. I love using mine, such a satisfying wee tool.

Amazing video. I’ve watched your channel for years and myself and 2 of my friends are starting a furniture business and I am looking for easy diy furniture designs which we can make to get started. This video sparked some ideas. I would love for you to make more of these types of videos for those of us starting out. I always love and appreciate your work. Keep inspiring us 😎👍🏼

That is a great project and is definitely feasible with just basic tools. I think the biggest challenge for most is the perfect circle top. Great work!

Love these vids, makes me want to do this stuff. Very inspiring the way you say that most ppl can do this using ordinary wood work tools, but as per usual, great job

Cat. Excellent video. Thank you for the transparency about how to sell the items. Scanning through your library of videos to glean more info about shipping vendors. Also, I think your idea for an app to share workspace/tools is awesome (Perspective of someone who has shop & tools) Looking forward to seeing more videos about how to operate a business.

Asking around to barrow a tool before you buy is great advice. Until you have a shopping list XD. Love the tables and advice.

I am a neither person. I loved watching how you created this and enjoyed that you provided tool alternatives.

Dog dog dog!!! Thank you Cam!!! Seriously…you have inspired me. I’m a firefighter in Michigan and I’m getting close to retiring. My goal is to make my hobby wood shop into a retirement-supplemental-income shop. I’ve been really on the fence about retiring and the fear of not being able to bring in any supplemental income through wood working. Well, this video (plus so many of your other ones) have shown me that it really is possible for me to retire from the fire service after 25 years and truly enjoy retirement as well as generate a small small small income from my wood working. Thanks man….I really appreciate this video A LOT!!!

Lucky guy, wish I could retire after 25 years, government jobs have the best perks.

Dog guy myself. Great job, I really appreciate the little projects. As I’ve mentioned before I do woodturning, that project you just did looks like something I can do with my lathe. I just needed inspiration. Thank you

Have watched quite a few of your videos, and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them! I love your work, your taste, style, and your videos are very informative, and inspiring. I’ve played around with woodworking before, and looking for a way to do get into it again. Thank you!

I dont have much experience at all with woodworking, but this feels like something I really want to get into. I've been researching related info this past couple days and this video is really inspiring me to start the process for real. I'm already converting poorly used spaces in my home and outside for future woodworking.

I’ve never watched a woodworking video before but wow the production was amazing and I love how many methods and different tools you suggest. It really shows you care about teaching others

When money is involved it's not really about care, is it?

Hey Cam, really nice tables. As far as tools I always say buy the best you can afford that has served me well for over 40 years in several successful wood working ventures. I love festool watching you sold me on adding the vac clamp (thanks) Dogs for me specifically golden retrievers Keep up the great work

Dog person. Cats are OK as long as they are cooked correctly and served with a good gravy. Loved the tables. I am a beginning woodworker. I mostly have made charcuterie and 3D cutting boards, but I have made a few night stands, plant stands and one bed frame. I've made stuff then given it away to my friends and my wife's friends, so now I'm at the point of needing to sell stuff to have room to make anything else. Still haven't set up on Etsy, but plan to in the next week or so. I haven't tried the power carving before, so I'm excited to try that out. If you are in Texas sometime and see a huge dust cloud, that will be me trying my hand. Thanks for the great idea!

Don't pay mind to the hater's, so what you could afford the space and all your tool's, keep doing what your doing.

Dog all the way! Thanks for making this, videos like these make woodworking feel accessible. We just bought our first house with a 3 car garage and 1/3 of it is already becoming my shop and I am excited to get better!

Cat-person! Awesome job Cam. The tool-alternatives tips are great, and it's a great idea to also show projects that more of your followers can do. Cheers from Denmark

Dog, if I must choose, but I like both. I've had both and I miss having both. At this point we only have a dog, but the madness he brings is just as fun to have.

This is a brilliant example of what can be done on a budget. Even without your referencing tool alternatives I was plotting in my head less expensive methods to do the same thing! Love your work!
