I can unequivocally say that I have always picked up some new or old way of doing a project from your videos. Especially working with resin. Also, I like how you deal with some simple project that turns into a problem. THINK ABOUT IT.

Sorry, Electric sheet metal tools would have made your life easier. There is a tool which looks like the wringer on an old washing machine that would have helped your hammered copper. Sunlight UV curing works really well and fast on a "nice" day as long as you get uniform exposure. Works for UV cure hard finishes too. This is the last comment, I hope I don't sound annoying ...

Hey Cam, I don’t have insomnia, just really into woodworking

I’m going to watch this later to go to sleep to tonight, you have a soothing voice lol, and woodworking just comforts me, my dad passed away 2 years ago and he was a carpenter and we used to make stuff together. Thank you for all your videos Cam

Insomnia yes its me again just wanted to add that you do get a lot of beautiful wood and din't let the haters get you down I've been carpenter since 1974 and the real woodworkers are the ones that enjoy working with this awesome medium that the real woodworker has made for us to use. 😉 👍

For all the people that say your not a real woodworker, I say that you are more of a real woodworker than I will ever be. Your workmanship, and finished projects are beautiful!

Honestly, I would say take the ppl watching your videos to go to sleep as a compliment. It's de-stressing and satisfying to watch a project come together from raw materials.

Insomnia is not a problem anymore, but when it was, I picked up a habit of putting on something to listen to, so dark thoughts wouldn't overwhelm me. The voiceover in your videos keeps the loud sounds of the tools down and makes them calming. I've seen (or listened to) most of your videos and woke up to the end of this one today. Had to start it over to fully enjoy it. Thank You...

Cam, I have always preferred longer videos on KZread. My husband and I have been watching KZread on a TV for over 6 years.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the best woodworking channel on youtube!

Yes I totally agree with this. They are so relaxing

Cam, Insomnia is not a problem for me. Love what you do. Absolutely glued to this channel . Thanks for a brilliant video. Well done!

When my 3 year old doesn’t want to nap, we watch your videos. Inevitably he falls asleep and I get to watch supremely satisfying woodworking content. He won’t fall asleep to other woodworking channels (I’ve tried) but you’ve nailed the voice tone and machine volume. Thanks!!

Insomnia - LOL, I could not sleep woke up at 4:30 am. I started watching not realize it was 2.5 hours. Great builds, so precise on your measurements, I am amazed and at awhed. I did learn few new things for me. Thanks. I am retired and like working with wood, gives me sense of accomplishment.

I watch for wood working, I rewatch to fall asleep. The even cadence and soothing sound of his voice… like a lullaby

Your videos are like unintentional ASMR, and you do satisfying work too. Thanks.

The reason people watch ur vids at night to go to sleep is for 2 things, they are relaxing and satisfying and that's why its so great to watch ur vid at night to go to sleep

I don't want to start with insomnia ....This is a nice way to chill on Boxing Day ...I didn't realise I'd been watching you for over three years. My son even joined me for some of this.. Donate the table to a school library of your choice. It might inspire the kids. Loved every project here but your wife's desk is still my favorite!

I literally just started using your videos to help me sleep this week! What incredible timing. I promise it’s a great compliment, I only use the most comforting of content to send me off. Thanks so much for creating such pleasant and inspiring content :)

Cam, insomnia is not the problem. I loved watching your work. I used to build custom furniture, but switched to the lathe after making 22 spindles for a baby cradle. Great channel, great spirit, I subscribed.

@blacktailstudiouncut

Oh, I’d love to get into lathe work eventually

Also, I absolutely love the backhanded dad jokes 🤣 your dry sense of humor is great!

I know it's an answer to an older video in an anthology, but I am absolutely a fan of longer videos and content.

Cam I love the long videos I watch them while I do the dishes and crochet !

I really liked the style of almost re- voice overing parts of the video, helps the flow and hearing the prices while seeing the final piece was cool.

Insomnia. Just wanted to say I made it to the end, but not from lack of sleep. I play your videos on a screen in my workshop as I work so I learn new tips and tricks as I work. Have a great day!

Insomnia. I watched this video in the middle of the day. Yes, I watched it because I wanted to watch it. Though I was doing some other things I still kept sitting down watching the vid. Love your work and videos.

just what i needed for background while I work! Thank you for this Cam.

You really have some gorgeous pieces there. I can see that you put a lot of pride in your work.... Kudos

For the record, your voice is soothing enough to put me to sleep. However, I cannot turn on one of your videos if I need to go to sleep. I am not able to keep myself from actively watching your process. I love your channel.

You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.

i love your work! i am just a kid, but you inspire me because i find woodworking fun, and have been doing small construction projects since i was young. thanks for the finishing tutorial!!!!!

I love compilation videos and I really hope that there will be some more on your channel in the future! I actually planned watching this while falling asleep… well I couldn’t comment if I was asleep 😂

Insomnia isn't something I suffer from. Your work is so captivating, I can't stop watching and learning. Btw, I would've called the epoxy table the "GLACIER" table.

44:17 "I'll spare you having to watch both coats going on..." Seeing the coats go on is one of my favourite parts of your videos. Please keep them in! 🇬🇧

Ngl Cam your work is amazing and I like watching it both to learn and fall asleep too. Which tbh I'd say take it as a compliment to those who find that you make videos that are good enough to help people fall asleep, as it's still beneficial to the human mind to learn right before going to bed. On top of that you're content is extremely interesting and inspiring even for a simple desk! Keep up the good work!

Cam, my man!! Yes, I agree too with plenty of people out there. I definitely watch your videos to fall asleep at night, like a relaxing video to wind down the work day :) The work you have done actually motivated me to build my own bed, which took me about 3 weeks to finalise! Thank you for all the awesome videos!

I haven't got to the point of falling asleep to your vids, but I do play them in the background while working (programming). You're incredibly funny and have kind of a comforting voice, so..

Definitely like the longer videos and while I don't fall asleep to the videos, I usually do watch them later at night because they tend to be pretty relaxing.

Cam, it was great watching your video, I have insomnia and I actually woke up to it playing and rewound it and watched the whole thing! You are a very talented Craftsman thank you for your videos!

Insomnia.😂 I love your videos. You do amazing work. Your tables are absolutely beautiful. I’ve Woodworking all my life and I love the way you are so detailed about your finishing. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing what’s next. By the way, I guess I need help because I watched the whole video.😊

Cam, Love your work man! Let the haters hate. People love to hate successful people. I'll be up all night with insomnia watching your work.

Insomnia isn't the reason I - and I am sure most of us who are not asleep - are not sleeping. I rearely, if ever, comment on videos, regradless of how much I like them or not, however I felt it necessary to thank you, because your videos made me realize how much I want to start woodworking. I can hardly wait to start. So thank you.

love your videos 👍🏻

Also think of adding glue to both sides like adding resin to wood. Wood absorbs a lot of stuff in it, and the bond between the glue and wood is determined by the absorbed amount of glue, more glue absorbed will mean better adhesion and strength. So applying to both sides is optimal, however you need the added pressure of the clamps to ensure there's not any pockets of air that can weaken the glue, so it also will depend on how much glue you use as too much is just a waste. It's a balance between glue amount, pressure, and time to make a good bond.

Well said. One needs to understand how wood glue works

Very relaxing. Easy to look at and slow the brain down. Something real to just help wind down. Love the videos either sleeping or watching to the end.

Insomnia is under-appreciated ;) I thoroughly enjoyed watching these over again. My original reason for falling into the KZread rabbit hole was woodturning videos. I was enthralled and wanted to make anything turned wood to the point I was trying to figure out how to make it work on my apartment porch. My daughter kept reminding me that I have a degenerative nerve problem and it would be highly dangerous. Plus, woodturning is an expensive hobby even if you buy second hand. While I was bouncing around woodturning videos, I was also getting suggestions in my feed for woodWORKING videos. That's how I stumbled across your channel. Yes, your voice is relaxing but your work is intriguing and your commentary is hilarious. Thank you for putting together these videos that are informative, entertaining, AND relaxing. Hope you have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to next year's offerings.

Insomnia is also the title of one of my favorite Stephen King books. I've been watching your videos for years and really admire your progression across the board. Not just with the quality of your builds, but the quality of your videos. This was a nice journey through some of my favorite builds. Love the humor you put into your content, as well.

I first off want to say thank you for long videos. I stay up late doing my college homework. I love getting to listen and watch in t breaks. My boyfriends that goes to bed early has to have the tv playing to fall asleep. I had workshop in my small town high school. While i watch your videos, i can reminded about all the projects and things i made in school. The teacher we had gave more skilled projects kids that were in the shop classes longer. So a fun memory I have making a scrap wood cutting board, the guy next to me was building a dog house. He furnished the roof and siding and then crawled inside and fell alseep. our teacher was not happy.

You & Scott are hilarious together. I’m glad you have a sidekick to help you with the videos. You 2 work well together!!!

Cam!!!! wait, you're only 39??? i thought you were older (Not because of your looks) because of how much wisdom and knowledge you have with woodworking. I think you should build a surfboard or wakeboard one day. I'd love to buy one of those for the right price! Keep up the great work, been watching you for years now. also, instead of using shears, look up a product called a nibbler, we used to use them in construction for ripping through tin metal and stuff. very useful tool

I have been watching this video for 9 days every day before i sleep thank you for helping me sleeping

Yes, you should take it as a compliment that people fall asleep to your videos!!! Good music ( good metal music that is!! The more brutal, and heavier the music is, the faster i fall asleep!!) and good "science videos", and wood working videos are all i watch at night. I have trouble falling asleep unless i watch or listen to one of the 3. I also have very bad sleep walking episodes, unless i keep music on ( or a movie on) all night long. So, again, yes, please take that as a HUGE compliment!!!! Well, at least from me anyway....

You've said it before too, one of the easy nights I've had while listening to you and occasionally peeking to see what's actually up, you've knocked me out many times both in sleep and craftsmanship. Yes definitely something calm sooding in your voice with humour surely puts many to sleep. Funny when you think about it but true!

CAM A sub from a couple months ago. Im not a wood worker. Love your channel. Great dialog. Great humor. I like videos that do a great job explaining what's going on. And you nail it. Especialy when the worker or craftsmen are elite at what they do, and the level of care they take on evey minute detail. I watch this luthier "twoodfrd" for this same reason. I watch all your channels to the end they are that good. I rarely comment though. Insomnia - that was the name of my band when I was young. edit: added CAM - wrote this comment before I reached that point. 2nd edit.

I have a confession..I having a warm spot in my heart for woodworking from my high school days...watched the entire video from front to back. I will also admit my jealousy of your shop and the awesome tools and various machines it is equipped with. Clearly I am impressed with your talent and most impressed with your persistence in perfection (or as close to perfect as possible). I'm at this stage in my life 72 years young and still intrigued by the wonders of wood. Please keep up the great videos as I am definitely one of your subscribers. Thanks Cam.

As a person suffering from generalized anxiety, I can tell you - "you make me fall asleep" is the highest order of compliments you can get from people like me.

Insomnia... I really appreciate your humor... and everything you do is top notch!

As a web designer, I'm worlds apart from the realm of woodworking-I lack the tools and the skills. But I'm genuinely captivated by watching your craftsmanship. It's not about relaxation or ASMR for me; it's the sheer joy of seeing a simple piece of wood transform into something extraordinary. Your work is truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic creations!

Insomnia is not an issue. What IS an issue.. is I can't stop. I played this.. without looking at the length.. and I realized I didn't move for more than an hour and a half. So.. I dunno if this was intentional.. but :D yeah, please do make more. Lovely content as usual, was really nice to see these older videos again.. keep it up and thanks for all the tips&tricks you share!

Cam I really enjoy your projects, sense of humor, and your voice, which would make you a great reader for audio books.

Cam! I absolutely put this video on to fall asleep. Now it’s 2:33 am, but I’m feeling inspired to get my shop together and get woodworking.

I've recently been having huge problems falling asleep. This video, your peaceful voice helps to fall asleep in 15-30 min. That is a good thing. Your videos are interesting and I watch every video from the start till the end. I would love to spend hours in your shop.

Insomnia isn’t a problem if you started it at lunch time. Cheers from another woodworking Cam!

Insomnia lol. I enjoy watching your videos as it reminds me of watching my dad when I was younger. He was a qualified carpenter and joiner over here in the UK for many years and always made bespoke furniture for around our house. Sadly dad was taken from us over 20 years ago and watching your videos always brings a smile to my face and I'm sure if he was still alive he would enjoy them as well. I like the long format videos you do! Keep up the great work Cam

Bob and family, very touching gift of your Mom's yarn, you'll never know the lives that you will touch!

Hi Professor Cam, you’re living the life. You’re not working with your hands, you’re creating works of art with your hands. I had shop in jr high and hi school back in the 60s. Electric, metal, and wood shop and I must say the most soothing,relaxing, and satisfying was wood shop. Your video’s should be shown in public schools to introduce and encourage kids to an enjoyable profitable future they can have in woodworking. Your demonstration and explanation in each project was top shelf. 😊 Thank you

Yes Cam, you have a really nice tone of voice, especially when you talk a bit slower, coupled with the soothing visions of what you do, that is all so great for chilling out. I find it interesting when I'm awake, and really good for drifting off to as well. Thank you.

Give me the table. No long giveaway nonsense, no picking and whatnot. Just give it to me, and I'll love it forever. You got a great channel dude

What a nice afternoon seeing this video. I love your work. The way you explain each step of what you are doing, showing mistakes as well as victories, is extremely educational. Big hug from the Azores islands. Emanuel Silva

I love watching long versions of your projects.

Cam, make both long and short videos. Sometimes I just want to watch something quick. (20-30 mins) sometimes I like the hour-long stuff. Just depends on the mood. And I don't watch television anymore. Who does? Old people. They call it programming for a reason. You make some very nice pieces. Thank you for sharing.

I would definitely take it as a compliment about people using your videos to fall asleep to your voice. I enjoy your videos and I do watch them all the way through. But I also use them sometimes to help me relax and sleep. I will only fall asleep if I feel comfortable and safe. So it’s a big deal if I use someone’s videos to help myself sleep. Gotta love.. insomnia! lol

Cam, your video is awesome! A solution for insomnia. I often talk to your videos with affirmations or suggestions that you never hear. I also listen to videos in the car and then sometimes go back and watch what I missed. Thanks!

I have actually enjoyed you getting artsy. No apology needed. Great work as always. I really enjoy watching your work.

"Cam Insomnia",😂 Watching makes me want to try some similar, but smaller projects. However, i don't wanna stop watching your videos for that long

The green tea and avocado smoothie turned out exactly as would be expected.

I’d love your Blue acrylic table! I jut fell in love with it! All the Amazing hours you put into it!!! My husband watches you all the time…. I can’t believe how many times I hear your voice , walk through to our bedroom..,. And never complete my task!! I I can’t seem to just see a little.. it’s now 3:30 am. I cane in to go to bed and can’t turn off the TV ! You’d think I had “insomnia “!!!! Love your channel!!

Cam I really like the longer content. I settle in with a cup of coffee and just enjoy!

I can't answer the glue question. Don't do woodwork, but my co-worker is a master woodworker from Russia, I'll ask him. I just love good craftsmanship!

I love every video you make; you are awesome. You worry too much about what people think. If they don't like it... well, they don't like it. Everyone deserves an opinion, and you just need to ignore it because they are wrong.

Yes, keep all scraps. Several times I’ve challenged myself to build something with nothing but what I have on hand, no exceptions. Zero trips to the store or borrowing from friends and it’s all come out great as I build something I wouldn’t have done otherwise. Make something great with zero $$. It’s fun.

What's up Cam, what a wonderful video. Just the inspiration to cure my insomnia. Sorry I'm a few months late but count me as a new subscriber.

insomnia - I don't know about putting me to sleep, but you always have something interesting to watch.

Thank you, man! You're a savior! I have been watching your channel and enjoying your projects for the last year, I keep coming back because I enjoy the awesome work you do and the witty jokes. I had a few insomnia weeks because of the stress at work but, since you released this anthology, I've been piling up playback (and sleeping) hours like nothing! I just let it play in a loop overnight and it keeps my brain from waking me up to think about work, life or how come "all together" comes in 2 words but "separate" is just 1. I love your job and I sincerely wish you success. Saludos desde México!!

Insomnia.... The video I never knew I needed to watch at 2 am! You have a new subscriber!

Dont ever stop,im glad you had the nerve.Ive learned some cool stuff from ya

I too recently made the jump to that sandpaper. I never thought I’d be so amazed and passionate about it. I’ve been trying to convince all my woodworking friends that they need to make the switch. Unbelievable the difference

Insomnia doesn't mean bored... I wasn't... You touched on virtually every facet that came along during my ten years as an associate in the Aerospace Engineering Department of Texas A&M University... Tnere was a bit of Electronic requirement which is why I was hired in the first place, but the hands on toil on Student Graduate projects was by far the most rewarding... -pp

Insomnia is something I struggle with, because my work schedule leaves me having to flip my days and nights back and forth all the time. BUT! I did sit through all of this, and it was very soothing. Your voice has a quality that my anxiety responds very well to. As for what I would like to see... honestly, whatever you are doing, I will watch. Sometimes, I am really intrigued by the project, but even if I'm not, I watch to see if you are going to get into some spot where it just isn't working. I guess I like watching other people ride the struggle bus. Makes me feel like I'm not as much of a freak as I think I am. LOL Thank you for the videos, thank you for the honesty when you make mistakes. Perfect people are boring. :)

Cam, I love your long content. I watch KZread as I drive for many hours every day. Love your tips, tricks, skills and mistakes. I learn a lot.

Hey Cam, insomia isnt an issue here, i enjoy the vids, easy listening in the background when doing other things, and your creativity really inspires me.

Only a small nap, and I did go back to watch the part I slept through.

There is nothing better than a piece of curly wood after it has a finish ❤

I a m a retired helicopter flight engineer and I totally think what you are doing is amazing. Eff anyone giving you crap.

Cam, insomnia is not why I watch your videos. I like to watch videos like yours while I'm turning pens, and the longer the better. Sometimes I watch them a couple of times to catch parts I might have missed. I don't have the space, tools or money to build the projects you do, but I have your channel and that's close enough, for now. The extension table is my favorite in this compilation. 3rd time watching it and I could watch it again, and I still want to jump through the screen as I watch your first attempt at cutting the profile edge of the extension.

And I have to say you are a great wood worker don't listen to who ever is saying your not , love your work

This is my first watch. You do a great job showing and explaining how and why you do what you do. Anyone that criticizes you isn’t worry of a response.

Hilarious intro, I literally put this on so I can fall back asleep 😂

I feel like when i fall asleep to vidieos, it is because it was so good that i was unable to put it down and probably did all i could to stay awake til the end and might be on the 5th vid in a row 😂 and ya i was allwase told glue to bolth sides never to 1 but who actually knows . So im a chainsaw carver. This power carving stuff looks supper useful a bear with a smoth nose sells better for some reason and sander disks clog up on wood .I'm glad i found your channel 👍

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM IMPRESSED BY THIS BEAUTIFUL PC OF WOOD!!! WOW!!!

I love love your commentary !!! Insomnia !!! Hahaha ! 😂 😂😂 Love your sense of humor
