been binging all of your videos and you saying “if you’ve already seen me explain how to make one of these tables and just want to see the edge trick you can skip ahead” made me laugh, as if i’m not gonna eagerly sit here and watch you explain it and show it to me 1200 times, i don’t think you understand how much i will re-watch the entire process ad infinitum 😭

I love that you invest in the legs. Makes a huge difference. I have seen cheap legs that lower the quality. Yours raises the bar. 5 stars!

I agree with you. Not having proper legs on a table "TO ME" can drastically raise the value of your project or cheep legs drop the value of a project. it is like having a VERA WANG make a dress for someone but then the model is wearing dirty old tennis shoes when modeling the dress ( well in todays world of clothes modeling that may be considered CHIC but you get my drift ) .

If I spent 10k on a wooden fancy table and it was on 10 buck legs I'd be upsetty spaghetti

Just stumbled on your page a month ago as I've begun to set up my shop and get into woodworking. I'm amazed how you turn what you call "blemishes" into almost unnoticeable yet unique notes in your work in a way that still demonstrates complete professionalism. Basically, you make it all look really good!

The bow tie adds just a touch of imperfection to the perfect table, great job

Amazing work, Cam. I love how you never try to hide when something goes wrong in your videos and how you find ways to deal with mistakes. The table came out beautiful and I think those legs are beautiful and really set off the modern feel to the project.

Stunning table and beautiful workmanship, very impressive

Man, I appreciate the honesty and transparency in your videos… especially the mistakes. I’m tormenting myself on where and how to get started with selling. Your videos are truly an inspiration on keeping us (me) motivated and continually learning techniques AND that it is okay to make a mistake.

Love the table cam such a beautiful piece of art/furniture nice to see someone that’s passionate about their work 👍🏼 Keep up the great work love your content

I really like the technique of trimming the edges to add thickness.

@@TheHuntron2000 if the epoxy seeps into the wood, even plaining and sanding won't save it. The edges get "blurry" because the wood gets dyed black by the epoxy and there isn't a sharp line of contrast anymore

Hello from Ukraine. This is my favorite wood related DIY channel. I like your black epoxy style and the way you present what you do. I found the idea to make the table looks more massive absolutely genius. I haven't seen it before and I will definetly try it in my next project! I think it's pretty useful when you have a lack of epoxy. Thanks a lot!

I’ve soon more than a few of your videos and they are all fantastic! The best part of this video is how you showed your mistake and how you corrected it. You don’t hide your mistakes and for me that is the mark of a real pro!

Love the table. Also love the technique for getting more out of slabs. Doing things this way you could get twice as many tables out of a single slab.

I second this!

100 yrs from now I can just imagine some walnut wood and epoxy specialist doing an evaluation of the detail and workmanship on one of your tables. Great tutorials and a pleasure to watch someone enjoy their work and produce such unique furniture.

I like how you always do your videos like it's their first video. It helps solidify knowledge hearing it every time and really helpful for people getting the most out of every video regardless of which one they click on.

One of my favorite projects so far.

Great video, great epoxy trick too! You're right, the legs are perfect for the profile

Your a class act, your content is above all and your willingness to tell it as it is on every video is refreshing. As a wannabee wood worker I can say your saving me a lot of time and $. Pleas do not ever stop. I can't get enough of your instruction or seeing the wonderful tables you create. Semper Fi

The legs are perfect, you are so good about teaching us as you make your designs, errors and all. That says a lot about you. Keep creating and posting.

As usual, a project finished to visual perfection! I enjoy what you do and how you make the wood scream with it’s true beauty. Myrtlewood for life!

Love the table and the entire video. Great job!

Love it. And the bow tie made it even more unique. Sometimes a mistake turns out to be the best.

Love the legs. LOVE thickness on the edges and the 30-degree chamfer. A sophisticated look.

Gorgeous table; love the finish, the way to make it look thicker, and the legs are the perfect set. It would look equally beautiful on the wall.

I believe that the imperfections give it depth. Great work, hopefully one day I will be at this level.

Simply Superb the way you attached the extension at the ends and made the angle

This superb table, an Eames recliner chair and a glass of 18 year-old Macallan Malt Whisky. Life does not get any better. Your craftmanship is well worth every cent.

I've been watching your videos for some time now and have watched most of the earlier ones. This table and the "trick" to save resin is great. I think the legs are perfect, especially if it's used as a desk. You have inspired me to branch out from turning resin and timer pieces to making my first river table, out of walnut no less! Walnut is not so common in Australia and you have to be in the right place at the right time to get some. A friend cut some slabs for me from his walnut tree that died of old age and they've been sitting in the rack for a few years. They're a bit wormy but that adds character (doesn't it?).

This table is so beautiful. I love the modern look of the legs you chose and the book match center is gorgeous. My only curiosity is how do you carry the cost of your wood stock. These pieces are very nice and I can't believe how beautiful you make all your pieces. The attention to detail is fantastic 🙂

I've been binge watching your videos and I really like this table a lot. Love the way you did the edges to double the thickness. Personal opinion on the "mistake" is that I loved the look of the mistake before you "fixed" it. I didn't see it as a flaw or mistake at all. I don't really care for the bow-tie - but that's just me.

I love the grain in the wood and the end result is wow

I love the way you made this even with the butterfly edge. It turned out spectacular. I went to look at the table legs and wow are there a lot of designs, you weren’t kidding. I think the ones you selected are just right for your desk. They really are stylish. And thank you for sharing the link. I usually can’t afford the legs, but omg, there is a sale $230 to $99. That is so do able for anyone. So glad for this resource. I had looked at Chinese sites, even though the standard legs are cheap and affordable the shipping is not. So, thank you very much for your videos. Very good technique, information, and diy skills.

I find your videos by far the best on YT. I’m an experienced woodworker (over 40 years) and think I can say that you do everything in that difficult balance between perfection and yet still needing to make a profit. Perfection takes so much time that you end up working for nothing; “good enough” is never good enough. I don’t see any other maker go into such detail about each step; the method and the reason plus taking the time to list out everything used. For instance, I suspect many YT people would not tell us where to buy those legs but keep it to themselves. That really annoys me - I don’t like videos which just say “look how great I am”; yours say “here is what I do; here is how I do it and here is what I use” I’m not a great fan personally of heavily refined pieces. However, I do accept that they are a great way to use pieces of timber which otherwise would be scrap. People like them at the moment but fashion is a nebulous beast. I don’t know what will happen when the fashion changes. Please maintain the very high standard of your videos. The quality of camera work enhances the quality of the work you show.

THIS is what I really need to learn to help me build this house I've wanted to build for the past 30 years. You can bet there will be a hella lot of "breakdowns" throughout that process! Best to learn how to keep my composure and get down to the business of sorting them out as efficiently as possible, so thanks for sharing that process you go through in your work.

There are no mistakes in life in my opinion, only learning moments. What I think would look really nice is IF you ever have to cover up another “Mistake”, instead of using a bowtie, you can somehow make your double X into an inlay & use it as your makers’ mark to cover it up. I don’t know if that makes any sense. The table looks absolutely amazing.

I recently came across your video and the table came out absolutely superb! The leg set selection enhances the job. Great choice!

Love the top and the legs and also the combo matched imo. Probably one of my favourite tables from KZread so far.

Nice trick, however it's possible to see a mirror pattern on the sides. I say that because I saw you doing it :) and if I didn't see it I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Yeah, the only thing I would have done differently here, would be to get the very ends of the timber vertical, so that when cut off and flipped the vertical edge would carry through to the underside.. That would be as easy as marking a line,cutting it back half an inch or so, and then hand shaping from the cut out to the live edge..

Love the table. Didn't look like a mistake to me. Instead of a wood bow tie what if you did an epoxy bow tie? Or some kind of trade mark with your shop name? The legs are an excellent addition and just enhances the over all table look. Beautiful work as usual.
