I think one of the things sharing the price does is keep you from getting a bunch of people trying to commission a table from you without understanding the costs involved. That’s how I’ve always interpreted you listing your prices. You do beautiful work, made even more difficult/time consuming by creating videos about it. If you didn’t mention how much these cost, I think you would end up buried in messages from people hoping to get one of your tables for $500-$2,000 or so, which just isn’t possible with the quality of materials you use, and how much effort you put into all of them.

Mentioning prices is actually VERY useful for people wanting to start their own business and don't know what's normal, or what (some) people are willing to pay.

To me, if you can execute a job like this, considering the work involved you can't be charging $500, The COGS on this job was close to $5000 and that is out of pocket, not considering labor or any capital expenditures needed to do the work. I don't know if what he charges even covers the actual cost for him because the video revenue and other things are really what make the "business" work. I don't know the hours put in, but he mentions directly about 12h for two discrete processes, nothing on sanding, nothing on making the cuts etc. I wouldn't expect someone of his skill level at crafting these objects to charge $10/hr, I make give or take $55/hr at my job. I would consider what he does more skilled than what I do. And you have all the other bits and pieces of running a business, (youtube aside) that shop was not cheap to outfit, there are no rubbish tools, or bargain basement shit in these vids, the kit is uniformly top flight, professional gear. I was a press photographer in a past life, and when I was working for real at it (5+ days a week etc), I had almost $30,000 of gear in my bags, and that job paid poorly. His prices are commensurate with his skills and the costs he incurs to be able to offer work like he does, the fact he films it allows him to do less work, and lets him be less dependent on "selling" a piece for success. There is another guy that does vids that does inlay work and he did a 2h video about the costs of his work/what he charged, and homeboy was making $12/hr for the most part as he calculated it for (to me) pretty mastercraftsman level work (each piece was maybe 40h work) and he observed he was not charging enough, but didn't feel confident he could charge more, which is where the video revenues can come in, which from what I can tell they have for Cam.

To be honest, he could probablty be getting a lot more for it, but that usually involves having someone on staff whos all about getting the high rollers in. A friend of mine was a cabnitmaker who made filthy cash, but his company had a marketing girl who really had a knack for getting those corporate boardroom table orders for the big end of town (Though the most expensive table I ever saw was over $100K in a mining company boardroom, and that definately wasnt him). Actually shit. -----> Corporate boardroom tables. Thats the magic hint. That and kitchen refits for rich folks (If you get your reputation up, $50K+ per kitchen for the full cabinets and benches is not unheard of)

@@shayneoneill1506 Yeah, what you need for high rollers is someone with connections to the right type of businesses (who can speak their proverbial language) - they'll just write those expenses off on their taxes. And to raise prices, it's always easier to have someone do it on your behalf.. (a manager / hustler of sorts) who knows what other people are charging.. who knows what the company can probably cough up. Basically, having anyone representable do that for you can raise your hourly price (and thus the total amount) by about 35% at least. (if only because they understand you have staff to pay as well) As a designer I made €70 an hour (max I ever made). But when - say - Nike comes calling you for a new website, you better charge $100K... (not the 10K 'that already feels like you're scamming them'.) That's how 'they know you're a serious business' (which is somewhat counter-intuitive) As an example, I know the University of Amsterdam has paid about $8M for their web infrastructure so far... and it's SHIT. 5 different websites (for each new one, they just get a new domain or subdomain... students have 2 student ID numbers for some reason (1 actual one, and 1 for the class schedules or something)... NOTHING works as well as it should on mobile (which is the main internet browsing device for young people).. and yet... 8 million, and they keep coming back to 'em. It's all about who you blow... err... know. (:

But I didn't, so now I love to watch guys like you exhibit their work here on KZfaq! I had put in a search for Walnut and this video got my attention.

I have a custom made muzzle loading, black powder percustion 12ga shotgun with a stunning black walnut stock. I often sit and just look at the wood.

But as a beginner hobbyist, (merely donating my labor, for fun) it was unfair to undercut prices charged by people who needed to make a living. When my turn came around, and I needed "income " I think the good Karma returned to me, as my items sold well for the "making a living " prices.

Both tables are stunning, but I have to say that the aluminium shelf really is a positive feature that helps provide a pleasant contrast to the wood. I see a lot of makers using black filler in their wood to fill holes, which always looks great, and I think that the black shelf follows in that style very well.

I love walnut, particularly black walnut. We had a volunteer black walnut in our back yard, and since it was an unplanned plant it was in an unplanned place, so this tree became an over 100-year-old behemoth, and the neighbors beside and behind hated it. All the squirrels in the neighborhood absolutely loved it. The neighbors thought of the tree as a nuisance and it stretched out long branches over both of the other properties, and the squirrels kept planting more trees and dropping its leaves all over their roofs and yards. My son decided that he wanted to put a hot tub in and we had to get a slab poured to support it and that was a last straw for the neighbors so they demanded that in order to get their agreement for all of the work done they demanded that the heritage tree had to go. The city loved their heritage trees, even the messy ones so we had to get special permission to have it removed. After months of begging neighbors and the city we finally received the necessary permits to go ahead. The day that beautiful tree had to come out was a day of mourning for me, but the most interesting part of the removal was that the tree surgeon had notified local wood artisans that it was going to be removed. There were several who responded so our family, a few neighbors and a couple of interested parties were there to observe the removal of that one tree. I've told you all of this just to say that that one trunk that was about six feet in diameter and then some had some folks wishing for a grandstand to watch the process. It had some of the most beautiful patterns in it, and it was used to make at least one very special dining table and a few other special pieces of furniture. I cried all through the process.

What is the point of aluminum here? When 100% coverage is applied, what is underneath is irrelevant. Could be aluminum, MDF, epoxy block, stone, whatever. When and expensive material is used, it should be shown. Pay extra money for a thick aluminum that will look like basic kitchen top in the end, is a waste IMHO. I do not say the table looks fantastic, I do not see the point of aluminum in the design here. No visual (100% covered by paint) and no structural need for 1" aluminum.

My father was a builder of small boats and made it a point to bring me up appreciating the beauty of fine woods. As I became a guitar player, I remembered his teaching and, over the years, acquired a small collection of guitars and a few ukuleles made from master cuts of Brazilian, Koa, Cocobolo, Adirondack Spruce, etc. In addition to looking beautiful, those woods must be "tuned" in order to produce the best tones possible. A master luthier was once asked how he built guitars and he responded, "I find a beautiful piece of wood and cut away everything that's not a guitar." Keep up the good work. You are truly a master craftsman!

It's the same as talking about wages, it can only be good for people to get exploited less and help people orient themselves faster.

It's well made and still holding up, despite 20 years of hard daily usage.

Dammit man! That is awesome! I love the look of both tables, normally I like the darkness in the walnut but the character in the lighter wood is just amazing. You are an artist in the wood shop!

I enjoyed this walnut table way more, the darker colour is much more refined, but I’m surprised you took up the challenge of working with aluminium! It’s awesome to see you able to branch out your skills even if bit by bit. I hope that finishing class is free for much longer, and that the nano finishing takes off!

2 things: Absolutely incredible. I was very skeptical about the aluminum shelf underneath, thought maybe for once you had gone too far. But my God, it is absolutely stunning. I absolutely love the fact that you talk about the price of things. You are one of the very few people that do this, and it is 1 of the things that helps you stand out. For people thinking about getting into this type of furniture building, it gives a good idea of material Is cost, as well, how much your skill set is worth. Thank you for doing this.

I've always enjoyed watching work in progress. This was especially rewarding. The aluminum looks great, much against my expectations. The powder-coating did it for me. Thanks for a great half-hour.

I love that pretty much every one of your builds has a story. There's drama, highs and lows plus the ever present and ready, unexpected.. As a bathroom design and installation guy I feel your pain and know that none of my own projects are impervious to the will of the wind and tides. You, like all who love to create persevere and see every problem as a new learning experience ( eventually 😆 ) and just figure it out. There's no manual for these moments haha. Love your work and the stories that hide in the grain of each piece.

Hey Cam,, been watching your videos for about two years now. I absolutely love the time and craftsmanship on your projects. You asked how long a video should be.... i personally think they should be as long as they need to be.. you give so much great information in every video... I learn new things from every video because no build is the same....keep up the great work!

Walnut table is amazing. I love the vulnerability and flexibility you show in each project; it's really the best part of the channel. You show the good, the bad, and as always, the process only realizes the natural beauty of the wood itself while the design compliments and showcases the craftsmanship.

I find it difficult to decide which table is my favorite, but in the end, my favorite is the coffee table because of the intense color of the beautiful dark walnut. And the aluminum shelf does add that certain panache the table seems to call for. Well done on both tables.

I love the way the walnut table looks. I wasn’t sure about the aluminum shelf that ended up being powder coated black, but it looks fantastic. Had it not been powder coated black I think it would have looked awful. As usual great video, and thanks for all of the information while doing the build. It’s very informative.

Untreated aluminum would have oxidized over time and would have totally spoiled the table.

Anodized in black maybe would look slightly lighter, but would be more wear resistant and probably would look nicer. Not many places can anodize such a large aluminum piece though...

I thought the walnut was good, both tables shined but that aluminum was pretty unique. 😊 Always love the content and the bad jokes. Your work inspires me to make tables myself, which my kids benefit from. It’s great to have a family made furniture that can be passed down.

@wislyjean9742 8 ай бұрын

I appreciate you adding the price of tables because it shows me how valuable your work is. Btw I’ve watching your videos for the pass couple days and admire your work I even subscribed to the wood finishing class you have. I’m a nursing student so watching your videos and doing wood working diy projects are very much a distraction from the stressors of school. Actually makes me want to make my own table myself. Oh btw I also like how you shoutout on your page other subscribers too such as those with smaller channels. It gives them a chance to come up. Anyways good job. P.s I like the subtle nonchalant humor. 😂

Walnut just gets the nod for me, but a close call. I too, really love this finished table but I must confess I shared your concern about the change to the shelf. Again, I share your surprise at how good it looks. It is hard to imagine the table with any other shelf. Beautiful work as always Cam & huge credit should be paid to your video man, he too does a brilliant job. Also, don't worry about talking about prices, it is an integral part of your whole presentation & nothing made with such care, precision, devotion & the cost of the materials can be expected to come cheaply. Thanks to both of you, Cheers, Don from South Australia.

I love both designs equally. Guess it would depend on the room decor and colors as to which finish I wanted at the time. They both would fit my living room with its medieval style. I really like the black aluminum shelf though. It would look great with the lighter tabletop too. Great job.
