"I love all kinds of tops. I love those big natural tops too. I love these augmented tops. I don’t gravitate towards the tiny tops that much." [15:35]

I wish I was 50 years younger and happened to find a teacher like you in a wood shop! I love, as does my husband, you videos. Have yet to watch one that doesn’t amaze me. Your sense of humor is up there too!

Your 10 minute deadpan bit about how sometimes a top needs filling had me in stitches. Reminds me of the time I was at a job site meeting, and the GC and the plumber were arguing about the piping for the sprinkler system, because they had a problem with the test tees. Apparently the plumber put his test tees too low, and he was arguing that they might have been low but it shouldn't have been an issue. Nobody laughed besides me, I thought I was going insane.

I suspect that you have two types of viewers: those who enjoy the artistic aspects of what you do, and those who enjoy the process. I fall into the latter category, and absolutely loved seeing how you did the inlays. Great work!

I think "Glitch table" would be a good name; looking at this table it's like certain pieces aren't rendering right, with the grain going sideways or being the wrong color. I love it.

I don’t care what anybody says…I enjoy all the commentary and words in your videos.

I think the inlays being perpendicular with slightly contrasting colors and figure, turned out very nice. The real reward comes when you hit it with that finish. I might have added in some varying sized round plugs of shell flame or fiddleback maple. I’d mix circles and squares and maybe overlap them randomly. A lot of one-of a-kind potential for sure. 👍🏻

I know why people hate this! I live in a cheap apartment and this looks like my bathroom door, which has patches on it to cover up where the drunks that lived here before me kicked or punched in holes. It cheapens the appearance! Fine, whole, solid wood with its natural grain and unsullied beauty is always more pleasing to the eye. You do lovely work and I always appreciate how you let other peoples creativity inspire yours (I also love your not-so-subtle-humor), so my vote is to always keep doing what inspires YOU. It all turns out amazing!

Patch or no Patch. I think it would be cool if the patches were in a darker wood to make them stand out even more. It looks nice the way you did it, but maybe try to keep the grain of the wood in mind as you cut, so it's parallel to the cut. Somtimes it looks like your patches are not parallel to each other.

I love watching you work, create, brainstorm, and finish these pieces! Also, of all the woodworkers, your commentary, sarcasm, transparency is great!! Since I found your channel, I have been on a binge. Ironically, I am not even into woodworking.

love when you speed up the hammering, always cracks me up😂😂😂

Patch...I'm a nature photographer as well as a woodworker. One thing I've learned over the years is you can't please everybody. So, you please some people and let the others find something else that they DO like. At any rate, they're not wrong anymore than they're right. It's all perception. I think the table is beautiful and creative. Good job!

Patch or no patch, one still has to admire the craftsmanship and time that went into making this table. I'll admit it's not my personal style, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. Great work!

No patch. That line "Don't sell to the masses, sell to the classes" was hilarious. 😂

No patch. Your work as always is absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch. Thank you for letting me come into your shop and watch.

Patch: I thought I'd hate it, but did my best to keep an open mind and you won me over! I thinking blending the "stain" to help the colors balance was the perfect move, your risk paid a reward IMO! I'm sure it'll go for much more than $1!

I’ve been watching for this last year with my girlfriend. We try and put a blacktail studios video on before we go to bed at least once a week. I love watching for the craftsmanship, she always falls asleep before me because your narrating is “hypnotizing.” Thank you for being the happy balance for us. We both get something out of your videos.

Dear Patch - the quilted look in the wood finish is interesting, modern, and pays tribute to design elements of the 70's. I love it.

As a cnc operator i love seeing people work with hand tools, specially when people take their time to make something precise. It's like art to work with hand tools, and seeing peoples creativity and the mistakes they make is instructive and inspiring for me.

I think the best way to get the patchwork thing to be really clean is to lean into the contrast. Like if you tried using darker woods and pairing it with maple pieces too. Then you could have three distinct colors between the table and the patches.

The table ain’t for me, but with how many hacks there are on KZfaq, I really do appreciate the craftsmanship you put into your work.

Patch I like it for some things. Definitely a personal option. I love looking at the wood grain so I wouldn't always choose the Patch design. However, the table looks great 😊

Patch- I love it man. Unique and professional. I'm not a woodworker, just a guy who likes to see woodwork transform from start to finish. I like your videos because of your honesty in your commentary. You are truly a craftsman. Keep up the good work

This is actually a beautiful table top, in fact I think patchwork could be even more dramatic in variation of colour and still look amazing.

No patch. I really like how you listen to peoples opinions and continue on with the artist mindset that you are comfortable with. I continue to learn with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your skills with us here.

Patch. . . Loved the finished table. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.

Patch, I dig it! As with most of my own projects in wood, it’s the finish that sets it apart. Love the work, the demonstrations, and the nano finishing. Great job!

Patch. I absolutely in love with this table. I’d call it the quilted table. It’s so unique, and I really like the contrast of the shape patch corners, and the rounded legs and table edges. Well done!

You motivated me to make my own desk. I did awful but it's motivated me to get much better lol. Thank you!

I have never seen the patchwork in a table like that! Looks like a lot of work but I loved the result! Something I’ve noticed every time I watch your videos is that I always learn something new and I love it😁 Cheers from Norway

Patch! Using this to deal with imperfections, plus adding extra design features, is a total win. I like the patchwork effect. It showcases your craftsmanship, and creates a truly unique tabletop.

I've been woodworking since I was 14 and I'm still trying to find my niche. I love the fact that you are so open with your processes, tangible, mental, and emotional. I'm really struggling to come up with "what to do" from one project to the next. I've been doing cutting boards, sold a few given away more as gifts. Your videos are very uplifting for someone who aspires to make woodworking almost a way of life. Thank you and I'll keep watching. By the way I think the patchwork is excellent! Anything that makes a person ask you "how did you come up with that" is validation of a job well done.

I like the idea of the patchwork, would be cool to see it arranged over the entire surface with more patches. Thank you for inspiring videos!

This might be my favourite table you have made. Keep up the good work!

Patch I've recently found this channel and going through all your videos. Loving it. I have no background in woodworking or even watching woodworking. I just like the humor and the soothing videography. Keep it up!

patch or no patch: I love the table. Its gorgeous!

I can kinda understand why other people don't like the patchy looks but to me it looks fantastic. What you did was phenomenal and I enjoyed watching the whole video

Patch , I really enjoyed the build of this, and when the table top was completed I really liked the uniqueness of the patches. Great build , great voice, great editing.

I grew up watching my father and his woodworking. Grew up loving it and talking to him about the oddities involved (and for being the voice in the room "that's slightly off"). You mentioned CNC routing vs hand doing it. I will always love the craftsmans way of doing it. Sure, fancy ways are just that and better tools are for the individual. Powered tools beat out sawing by hand when the time is right. Just like advanced tech.

That humour at 15:30 gave me very lock picking lawyer april fools video humour vibes.

I'm honestly fall into camp no-patch, but this project is still an impressive display of craftsmanship. I unfortunately don't have the space (or time!) to take on this sort of craft, but I do love to binge your videos once in a while. They are very relaxing, and satisfying to watch for those of us wanna-be makers. Thanks for posting!

You are an artist in your own right and like any work of art, your patched table it’s created for people who appreciate it. I honestly think it’s a fantastic piece

Patch! I love woodworking and have done quite a bit myself. I love the variety and uniqueness of this table! Thank you for doing what you do!

Patch or no patch, I love your end results. I may not like some of the aesthetic choices, but I love your workmanship. Keep doing whatever patches, bowties, epoxies or natural voids make you happy and I'll keep happily watching!

Patched table looks amazing, I'd call it something along the lines of "Glitch"(The name would've been perfectly suited if the table be in green & purple, something futuristic like), great job!

I love the Patchwork in the table...Beautiful! And yes....I watched all the way to the end. Your talking throughout is very interesting. Thank you!

I really like this channel. I'm not a woodworker but I really enjoy listening to you tell a story about the projects you are working on and... I learn something in the process. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I wasn’t sure about the patchwork initially, but I think with the finish it comes together beautifully 🖤

No-patch. I wanted to love it and I so appreciate the complexity, creativity and effort to bring about this look. I would like to see maybe one red patch out of acrylic just to give it a pop (no other patches on the table or desk). So appreciate ur devotion to your craft as well as your generosity in letting us in on the secrets.

You're the craftsman. It really doesn't matter what others think of the patch work. Great work and happy new years!

"Patch." I think it looks amazing. I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and this is a cool step in a new direction!!! Love the table.

Gotta tell the dog story!! Not a huge fan of the look, but have mad respect for the process. I love adding bowties to my projects because it feels really good to pull it off. So to go through this process, adding all those "patches"....is really impressive. Good job!!

I actually really dig the rounded edges, they look slick and I bet they have a nice feel to them. I think that sometimes they way a piece of furniture feels is overlooked

I never stop learning I've been a painter contractor 40 yrs I love picking up all the little tricks you're never boring

patch....looks amazing..love walnut and love the different grains working against each other !! great as always !!

Patch -- Most assuredly. Nothing in this world needs to be perfect. The contrast of the patches with the slabs natural grain merely enhances the looks of your incredible projects. Love all of your videos. I wish I had been exposed to this artistry many years ago. I wasted over 40 years of my life in law enforcement, evidence the state of our country today, and truly wish I could have been involved in creating as much beauty as you. Take good care of you and yours.

I don’t understand the clickbait video title game. I like your channel because of what you make, but it’s getting so meta and attempting to reach new viewers through inciting some kind of drama and is bizarre. You gotta get yours and I respect that. But your builds stand on their own. The title could always be the thing you are filming a video on. EDIT: Cam has since changed the video title.

Patch, definitely Dude!!! I love the patchwork so much!

Patch! I absolutely love your tables, you have such a creative eye and make everything you touch come out gorgeous. I want to try so much of what you do, ive been wanting to make an epoxy table for so long, and will get your virtual class once i have a garage to work in. Im currently in an apartment in SE portland so im very limited on what i can do. Keep the videos coming. I watch every single one to the very end. Thank you!!

patch, easily one of my fav things youve put out, firm believer in atypical styling. I would even say that maybe you can lean in to it harder with a more visually distinct patching wood, the ripple effect was absolutely incredible.

Patch. I really loved the patchwork. Especially with the stain. Its soooo pretty.

I think that the patchwork turned out really well and it was really noticeable with the finish

Patch or No Patch - I’m digging the Mondrian Cube style. Someone else said it but it would be awesome to see other woods blended in. Dramatic contrast would be stunning. Great job!

patch, I'm genuinely shocked by how good it looks. It's such a happy table. The patches make it look so much more interesting as an art object.

I have been binge watching U! OMG! I’m 66, female. I have never watch anyone do the work Ur doing. I know my Grandpa made furniture for the banks, during the depression. When I was old enough to appreciate what he did. I was around 10 yrs old. Wish I would have paid more attention. The tools U have (hand) are to die for. I could only dream. I love all the show. Never boring. U do make me laugh. Which is really a hard thing for me. Ty Janette

I like your vids for all 3 reasons. And yes I do occasially fall asleep, it's so relaxing at the end of the day. Thanks for doing these.

Patch or not to patch . . that is NOT the question . Personally I'm on the fence about patches but you did a fantastic job presenting the option and that's really a woodworkers best tool . Options and an open mind to their use keep us moving in new directions and avoid the all too common proverbial ruts we tend to find ourselves in . Thanks for your continued pursuit of perfection .

patch! love the patch work! the grain direction you randomly used really gives this a unique look. each time you look at this table you see something new. this is what woodworking is all about! thank you for sharing.

Patch... I think the patchwork looks great. You did it for the right reason which was to rid the wood of knots and voids... Great job, beautiful table...

stunning wow 10/10 I am in awe at people like you who can take a piece of wood and make something so beautiful!

Patch! First, let me say thank you. You’ve literally changed my life. It is solely your videos that inspired me to turn my hobby in to a business. My daughter and I have never been happier. Second, the chisel shots…. Yeeeeaah, those were crazy satisfying! Third, you nailed it with the brass hammer. I’ll have to wait until the next round, but I’m looking forward to getting one. On the subject of products, keep it up, never mind the haters that don’t like to be “sold”. All your recommendations are spot on and the majority of us end up buying those products at the end of the day anyways. To me, you deserve to be paid for your work and many of us will be proud to support you and use a product with your brand on it. One thing you may want to consider is having a sample size that you offer a huge discount on. Customers appreciate it, and it’s a great way to get people hooked. Nothing like some good ol N3 withdrawals to drive business. Anyways… if you’ve made it this far in my comment I’d like to give you a little bit of credit (LOL) by doing exactly what you asked and giving you feedback on the patches. I really like the concept. On this particular table I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I feel like it would be more striking to me if it looked a bit more “intentional”. Ugh, this sucks to put it this way, but it almost looks like you were trying to cover something up but couldn’t quite match the color. However, if anyone will make it spectacular, it’s you. Personally, maybe try larger groupings of the patches that trail away in a slightly more linear pattern. Like throwing a handful of grass in to a stream. I think matching the direction of the grain yet using more contrasting colors would draw the eye and have a better flow. Have you thought about doing something like a crack/split in the crotch filled with epoxy as a kind of starting point for a bunch of inlaid patches that follow the direction of the wood pattern as if being pulled along by the flowing epoxy? I definitely think you’re on to something. I’m intrigued. Who know, maybe I’ll even start on an “INLAID INTENTIONS” table myself. Thanks again Cam!

Patch. The patches you created are on that fine line of being noticeable, yet not detracting from the beauty of the final results. Watching you reminded me of all the times I watched my mom patch my dad's jeans, which is an art in itself. My parents were very frugal and reused and repurposed so many things because they lived through the Depression and this made me think of the many ways that people living then would create beautiful things through necessity. The table makes me think of the strength of the people that lived through The Great Depression.

Cam, Love your work. Setting up for a desk myself so appreciate the detail!!

Patch. Your work is amazing so I think table is stunning.

Patch! Man this turned out pretty cool. It’s different and unique and the way you put your spin on it makes a huge impact on its success. I really like the combination of all the figured wood patches creating more depth and movement.

Patch! I absolutely love the table top. The layered patches give the feel of a favorite jacket that's been repaired many times over the years, and the round edges have the nostalgic feel of furniture from my childhood. The two together make this feel like HOME.

Patch… I really like this table. I think you’re spot on and offer some helpful advice when you say it’s smart to be different, it makes you stand out. I’m an aspiring wood furniture builder and your videos have me hooked. Actually going to ask for the epoxy online workshop for Christmas, or buy it myself, because I bet it does save money at the end of the day, instead of making those mistakes. Thanks man.

Patch I like all the stuff you do. Woodworking is a way to show the world that this is your mark

Patch. I love watching content like this. I’m an almost 70 year old woman, so I’m probably go into making my own tables, but really enjoy watching you do it❤

Honestly I was not expecting to like the patchy look. But you, sir, have done it again. It looks absolutely beautiful after the finishing touches!

Band-aid table! Love the soft edges too

Patch.. I think the table looks amazing. Creative ways to fix problem areas to make a previously "unusable" piece of wood not only usable but beautiful is something to be admired.

As someone who's learning to become a woodworking artesan, your videos are very inspiring, educational and just overall fun to watch. Keep up the good work!

As for the name I think this table reminds me of a 'collage.' All the elements overlapping and complimenting each other to come together in a much bigger picture like you do in scrapbooks or yearbooks. All the details add their own unique aspect, but as a whole they lend to each other a cohesiveness that I really like. I love Japanese woodworking and joinery so this table was actually very appealing to me.

Patch. That walnut slab was beautiful and i think the patchwork looked great on it. It complimented the piece rather than detracted from it. Well done.

Watching your videos every night just to get myself to sleep. Thanks a lot! It helped me with my insomnia.

No patch. In my opinion, but I always come back and watch your projects through to the end. I love that you are not afraid to take a risk and do something outside of the norm, that’s how all great artist become recognized, they create masterpieces that go “against the grain”.

Patch. Love how the table turned out. Love the soft edges to it as well.

I like the patchwork! Nice job.

I like the patchwork and the fact that you use some highly figured wood for them I think it adds visual interest to the table

i can smell the freshness of this release....... love it.

Patch! I love it! I think it might look amazing too if you switched up woods for the patches so it created more of a patchwork look. Like one wood a shade darker one the same like you did with the walnut, and one lighter. I think the three colors and different grains would look incredible. I want one for my kitchen table. But I think I liked the sharp edges. Rounding the top made the table look soft since the legs were rounded too. With patches the desk was not a soft piece of work. It needed some edges that weren’t smoothed out to match the bold square patch.

Besides the patchwork this thing looks fantastic

Absolutely beautiful work Sir

I may not ‘get’ the patchwork look aesthetically, but I thinks it’s cool that you tried it. I am always happy to watch you work and listen to you ramble. 🙂

Patch or no patch. That desk is incredible! The patches are just subtle enough to keep you looking for more. It seems like a good way to save a slab that other people would see a fire wood. Who cares if people don’t like it Cam! You continue to challenge yourself through this process and show real growth in your abilities as a woodworker. Let them hate, most of them can’t do what you do!

Patchwork is perfectly imperfect. The quarter round edge doesnt match the square lines just like the patches stick out as different, which i love. Mismatching the grain brings an extra layer of texture.

Man everything you make is just beautiful I have nothing bad to say about anything you have made you the man keep up all the good looking work.🙏
