Not only do I not mind you being open about the $ made, but I'm super appreciative. For many of us, we have no idea what's behind the KZfaq / content creator money curtain. It's awesome to learn, and I'm really glad you are earning a good living from all this! You deserve it.

Not too many people would be honest about the money made for content. Thank you Cam. Very interesting!

That blue river table was one of the coolest table. It was stunning. The swirls. Wow!

8:03 it looks like a sleepy dog 17:37 the shade of blue is what makes that look so fantastic tho, it’s so freaking pretty, it feels weird how much you called it ugly it’s so aesthetically pleasing. I think instead of ugly it’s be easier to say “not my tastes” instead of stating it as if it’s objectively bad looking, cuz it’s not

The burnt table. Life isn't fair. The amount of terrible projects I create I should be a millionaire 😂

Like you said in your last 'disaster' here that your customer service was so on point that she went ahead and ordered a 10k dining room table from you the next day . This is why customer service is a thing. Even with the mistakes and all that she felt so good about the way you handled it that she gave you more business and most likely spread the word about how damn good you are and how you treat your customers to her friends/family. That's how its done.

Love that your transparent about how much your paid, very eyeopening, your the only youtuber ive watched in my 26 years that actually showed how much you make, idk why everyones so private with it

The blue table is my favorite thing you have built... period! I love the bowling-ball blue epoxy, and the two islands. Now I know why you haven't similar ones on your channel. A shame too, as it looks so awesome. To each his own.

im actually thrilled that somebody i trust is just being transparent about youtube.

Of the “worst” projects the burnt maple is my favorite. I think a combination of burnt wood and white epoxy to make a cow print table would be pretty interesting.

I am one of those people who love the blue epoxy. Love how you handled the Hawaiian lady’s table fail. You learned from it. She ended up getting what she wanted. And you both benefited when she ordered the dining room table.

I genuinely gasped when I saw the outcome of the last epoxy table - I can't imagine how you must have felt seeing that! Excellent customer service though! A real credit to your trade

I love how Cam fairly routinely shits on his audience, but then counters it by sharing a lot of love and gratitude. The balance is perfect!

l absolutely loved the blue metalic epoxy table, and the charred wood. to be honest you've not made a bad table. l would like to see other colors than black.

That’s so crazy. I’m not a wood worker or any kind of DIY kind of person. But I’m obsessed with your channel. That “Fire + Epoxy” video was the first time I saw one of your videos. Now it’s 3 years later and I’m watching a video on your second channel. Time flies…

I think Trypophobia is a real phenomenon but not necessarily a disorder; there are certainly people who get freaked out by that kind of repetetive hole pattern but I would be surprised if it was as impactful as, say, claustrophobia

Amazing when a $3000 table messing up turns into a chance to show fantastic customer service and repays you over 3 fold the amount. I love these types of insider look videos, it always fascinates me seeing view count/payout ratios.

You are such a humble craftsman. Don’t ever lose that trait.

I love the fact you tell us how much these projects and videos make it’s super informative to people like myself who are just starting out into our KZfaq journey! It gives me hope that it’s not to late to jump in and make at least a decent living doing so

Trypophobia is definitely a real thing. I am 67 yo, so NOT a sorority girl and I experience trypophobia in varying degrees. The worst is nausea and vomiting from viewing dried lotus flowers, Bot fly infested skin and Suriname Toads. Other, somewhat lesser reactions are elicited by images of regulated dimples, holes, etc. It is a PIA because it can sneak up on you unexpectedly when suddenly confronted by objects and imagery with closely placed holes.

my LEAST favorite has gotta be the one that looks like my parents arguing!!!!

I gotta say, I do like the blue 'river' one. I love blue and I think it looks neat. I can respect an artist sticking to what they're comfortable with, though. I think in art - and this is art - it's important to stay true to yourself.

SUGGESTION: I wanted to share this for glass flat polished epoxy finishes(High value), on denim or pours where epoxy depth or how the wood soaks it in varies. It's absolutely essential to heat treat it at 60C for an hour or a few if it's thick(like it's done in the car industry). Otherwise, you will polish it to a flat glass surface, but in time, epoxy will keep setting and developing microrelief and stop looking like a mirror finish from an angle where you catch a sheen. Let it set first, then heat treat it, then sand it flat, then polish it for good. In car panel fixing, the depths are very small, but if we do not properly heat all the levelling epoxy products before the last sanding and primer, we get a flat finish, but after heating the last coat of paint(clear), we get crater outlines of fixes. Sometimes it develops after some time under the sun... We use infrared heating reflector panels.

I actually think the burnt wood table that you are giving away is my favourite of these projects. Although I love them all. Like you say just because you as the artist do not like the finished piece, everyone has their own taste. I have created sets of nails for clients that I really dislike, yet the while having them received many compliments and the client loved them. As artists we are our own worst critics. ❤😊

The burnt table top is my favorite out of this video but I have to say your worst project is a million times better than my best project. Still trying to get into wood working but having a hard time pulling the trigger on it. Worried about failure, all the time knowing that failure is always better than not trying at all. Keep posting projects it inspires me to clean my shop up and make room for a table build. :)

Looks like a Wild Hog with massive tusks. All of your work is absolutely awesome, I love the amount of time you take with each piece.

The long neck one! Not because it’s bad. I see something else. A light base for a corner lamp, with copper or brass for the lamp. For the round table. I had a very similar experience. I was in college. My side hustle was painting houses. My family is in construction in a different town. Yet, I could get any tools needed. I prepared and painted this house. The colors looked good on paper, and while painting. Afterwords, to say it didn’t work was an understatement. The lady was so upset. Not at me, she had picked to colors with the help of a designer. I told her to pick other colors. I would repaint for free. She needed only to pay for the paint, not the labor. She wanting to pay me something for her error. I insisted on no pay. I was raised that you leave, when the house was done right! The wife was happy with the work. I don’t remember how much I made off that job. The husband and the wife told everyone they new, if want your house painted. Call this guy. My college education was a bit expensive. I worked all seven years of college. I know without embellishment. I finished college with my masters and ZERO money owed. Sometimes, the best business ideology is, a happy wife is a happier husband. With warn regards.

I love your videos. Your talent, your sense of humor and your wife's comments are all priceless! Glad you found your niche!!!

I’m so glad you’re making a living doing what you enjoy. I personally loved the blue, it’s my favorite color. You do a great job, even on the ones that you aren’t happy with.

RE: phobias, something my therapist told me a long time ago comes to mind. If someone tells you they feel a certain way (e.g. phobias), it's literally impossible for you to tell them they can't feel that way. When I do a google image search of trypophobia, I'll admit It creeps me out. No one can tell me I'm not creeped out by it, because I am.

Love to see a video on your absolute favorite pieces that didn't sell! Thanks for your channel!

First build was my favorite. And the wood used is Lodgepole. 100% sure. Bark is distinct. Great content.

My favorite table is the last one. I'm wondering.....did she ship it back to you? Or, did you tell her to just keep it? And one more thing....thank you for putting your earnings out there. I for one had no idea that 30 m views would earn someone 70K. I'm happy for you. Keep it up!

That color changing table is my favorite worst build. Always enjoy the content it just keeps getting better. When you do something never done before you get to find problems never thought of before, no one is infallible and you never shy away from showing that. The joys of perfecting your craft.

I love the yellowed circle table. Your ability to balance two art forms is amazingly entertaining.

The burnt table. You know, an epoxy River chair could be your 6th worst project 🥹 Your experiences continue to inspire. Keep up the awesome work!

I don't know the first thing about carpentry but I enjoy your videos and your passion for your craft is apparent.

My favorite least successful build was the burned table. That looks amazing to me. I appreciate the honesty regarding the revenue for the videos as noone else seems to be sharing anything like that and it makes the whole concept of doing video content for youtube seem like a fools errand since you genuinely have no yardstick to go by. I like the fact that you share your mistakes and your successes with us.

Got to say I didn't hate any of them. The yellowed epoxy is a really good lesson! Have you found one that doesn't yellow or have you just avoided white since then? The revenue from KZfaq certainly makes the ability to refund / replace a great customer care option. You have a really good business model and the fact that most of your pieces are in fact art, makes your products unique and desirable. Waiting for more!

My favorite of all your videos is that black char table so it’s easily my favorite of this video. I honestly am hoping you do a few more similar to it. Seeing the charred wood under the epoxy when the light hits it is 🤌🏻💋

My favourite is the last one(before it turned yellow😂). Thank you for all your videos. I probably showed them to all my friends and family😅I bought the epoxy workshop back in the days and just started my own woodworking KZfaq. Keep the videos coming man!

I am so glad that you are doing well. I certainly enjoy watching you build furniture.

Tryptaphobia absolutely is a real issue. I have a mild case of it. Your table doesn't bother me at all...but one time I looked at some pics of holes in human skin (hands and feet) and it legit f$#@'ed me up for a few weeks. Intrusive, unsettling thoughts about those images that took far too long to shake. So it's real. And it's not fun.

I think you just reinvented the reupload.... will you be adding your earnings from this video to the totals from the other videos?

Having previously worked as a carpenter, I love your level of self awareness/deprecation which leads on to an honest portrayal of how things go...you'd qualify as a good Ozzie mate in my book!

Cam, thank you! I love what you’re doing with this video! I’m currently working my way into creating my own channel. I’m a long time construction worker and woodworker. I love making custom pieces. However I’ve starting all the way at the bottom, currently completely busted and broke and just finally switching gears to something I enjoy and love doing. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the information. Hopefully one day I’ll have a channel and business in this game. 🤞

I love the blue metallic from the river table! There are other colors besides black ya know... doesn't make it horrible. I dare you to do a project with some red or purple epoxy. Spice it up a bit.

Have anyone ever told you you look like Garand Thumb's older brother? lol Thank you for everything you put out there! It's motivating to watch you create art out of basically nothing and you definitely motivate me to get out of bed and get something done :)

Color pour epoxy table was my favorite. I get made fun of at work because I always wear black at the office. However, I do love splashes of color in how I decorate my home or office. Since the table is mostly wood, the bight, bold, river of blue is an amazing focal point. The swirls give it a sense of motion, magic, and mysticism.

I think this blue metallic epoxy table looks really cool, because it reminds of a river flowing through a valley :)

I think the burnt table was really interesting, lots of character. Whoever wins it should be very happy :-) The blue river was pretty, but I think I understand why you didn't care for it as much. Still striking! Thank you for sharing both builds you weren't all that happy with for whatever reason and how well they still paid you for all the time and effort of building them, filming the process, editing, etc. Great job!

The people who bought these projects now: 👁️👄👁️

It has always been very intriguing to me that people who possess an extraordinary level of creative artistry often times have polar opposite perceptions and preferences of what looks good and what looks terrible. First, you create some of the highest quality work on KZfaq. That said, I have created a few epoxy pieces (cork tabletop and 14' bartop in a Wine Bar). When you were describing your personal distaste of the blue epoxy river table, I was shocked. Then, when you described your affinity for the white epoxy tabletop, I was even more shocked. The blue epoxy river table was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Whereas the white epoxy table was one of the most disturbing assaults on my senses as an adult. Please don't misunderstand. Your workmanship is quite literally second to none. I just find it a bit funny how many people with artistic gifts can have such polarizing feelings of difference while looking at the same item. All that said, your workmanship is an amazing feat of artistry. Keep on keeping on!

The mandril table top! Interesting stuff, and very informative as well! I really think that showing how much you made with each build and telling how much the video made will get some people to react negatively, but knowing how hard you work to put out these projects and videos: you have earned it, Cam!

The blue one - is a river between two brown riversides. Seems cool for someone who loves a river and would like to have it at home.

This was a great video. I love this kind of analytics. Would it be possible for you to publish a rough estimate on how many hours you put into the build and the creation of the video? Thanks man!

Your honesty about woodworking and the income associated with it is soooo refreshing. Sets you apart from other channels. Creativity is off the charts. I’m hooked.

I LOVE the table with the blue epoxy. My husband and I watch your videos together and really enjoy your commentary along with your beautiful work.

I really don’t think tryptaphobia is a “real disorder“ but I do think that clusters of small holes reallyyyy unsettle most of us, because something in our lizard brains goes “something hatched from there. Many somethings” and that’s an overall uncomfortable thought to have, ESPECIALLY when it’s in relation to food 😅

The 'burnt' table was best of the worst for me. I love the frankness that you show in all your videos, and it seems that your customers appreciate it too, as that lady in Hawaii showed. Honesty, ethics and skills will take you a long way in this world, or at least I hope they do mate. Keep up the great work/videos.

You are one of the most honest people on this platform and appreciate it very much. Wicked skills to match your stellar personality.

The "expensive firewood" was the first project I watched you build. Hooked ever since.

Trypophobia is like OCD. People have a single symptom and then claim to have it. Just because you like your room tidy doesn't mean you have OCD, that's a single tiny aspect of it. Same with trypophobia; feeling uneasy when seeing holes is normal (it's commonly associated with bugs and disease), but that doesn't mean you have a full-blown phobia.

It's not fake. Trypophobia is real. "Trypophobia refers to disgust or fear of a pattern of holes. Seeing clusters of holes in foods, flowers and everyday items like sponges can trigger feelings of revulsion. Trypophobia is gaining recognition as an anxiety problem that can affect quality of life." The Cleveland Clinic.

As I am sure, most peoples favorite is the wood char table. there is a reason it is one of your highest watched videos. As I said on your last video, that char one is something that I would think about adding to almost any build. Keep on sanding :) I will keep on watching :)

I appreciate you sharing how much $ one can make from videos. I need to figure out how to video my hobbies. 😁

Do you realize you just created a bunch of new KZfaq competitors? But don't worry, you'll still be our favorite.

I liked the round table pre-yellowing the most. Also for the trypophobia thing, yeah it’s not a real disorder because it’s not a disorder to begin with, just an irrational fear. I wouldn’t say someone who is deathly afraid of spiders or heights to have a disorder, just fear

You must live in a very wealthy area. There’s no way I could get those prices for those projects. That first table made from the burned log might sell for $200 if I was very lucky, lol

My favorite of the five is the tabletop made from your neighbor's worthless piece of wood even though the leg is really bizarre. My least favorite is the ponderosa pine stump. The circles made by your carving burr on the stump triggered the trypophobia of this 66 year-old woman. It's not a phobia exactly because it is not a fear of small repetitive circles, rather it the nauseous reaction to said pattern--we sufferers are repulsed and sickened by anything that looks as if the cluster of circular holes might at any time spew gross eruptions such as insects, worms, putrid bodily fluids, etc. Make no mistake, trypophobia is very real. Cam, I just love your creations--you are a true artist with the vision and talent to make masterpieces. You are so self-effacing about your skills, but I have not seen any that could compare with you. I wish my dad were still alive, he was an amateur woodworker who would be blown away by you and your workshop.

Hey gentlemen, thank you for being humble and inspiring us hard working men class

I super appreciate your openness about what you have made on these projects. It gives me hope. 🥰 Now if I could just remember to actually record my stuff. 😅

The charred table was my favorite. It had a 3-dimensional depth to it. The brown and white was a very close second. Reminded me of a guernsey cow (brown and white dairy cow). I really like all your videos, your style, honesty, humility and integrity. You are very inspirational. I just signed up for the Creator Course waiting list. Thank you for all you do.

The burnt table is by far my favorite. Great story at the end to wrap up the "terrible" projects. Something great came out of an unlucky situation.

Although you see them as failures I believe they remain extremely good craftsmanship. Well done.

Hard choice! I like the Napster table top and base, but not together. I saw several things in that top depending on the angle. At first just a heart that turned into a sloth's face and then the Grinch was in there too. Surely you can do something creative with that base? The burnt table was really cool too. It had so much depth. Stunning. The last table was beautiful in white, but ouch when it yellowed. I loved that blue metallic epoxy, but it overpowers the beautiful walnut and I like the wood to be the show stopper. That trypophobia table would be my least favorite. It made me "uncomfortable" especially before it was burnt. It reminded me of cellulite, way too much cellulite. I might have a cellulite nightmare tonight thank you very much! I think that one is still the only woodworking project to ever make me feel weird.

Ive been building rustic stuff which is a big seller here in Texas. Ive been building things out of wood for over 25 years and its something i love to do, not for a living, but i find it peaceful. I will say that the table you built was amazing, so keep up the good work!

The blue river table is my favourite worst build, I'd definitely have one in my home, it's great to see your honest opinions of your own work 👍

I love that Rorscach table top! The transparency of the money you make is very cool of you, and you deserve it for the entertainment, education and beautiful work you do. I recently got my hands on some beautiful Greeheart slabs that I hope to make an epoxy table from, so I'll be signing up for your epoxy workshop soon. This video now has me curious about how much you've made from that workshop 😜

The yellowed table... sometimes the projects just fails. It's part of the process. Love your work! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

The Automotive Guys: "Cam, Loved the video. Let me give you advice on how to improve your finishing process. All the best."

Definitely the burnt table. So beautiful and timeless really. Somebody’s Going to be so happy whoever you give that to, or whoever wins it. You’re awesome, thanks for trying to motivate people into making their own channel, and trying to push people to try, that’s really cool of you! Much love from utah ☮️💟

Burned rectangular coffee table - great video! I think your presentation / voice overs / honesty is 99% of why I enjoy your content.

I like the blue river table, it reminds me of the blue on '69 Vettes! Black is always classic, but sometimes you need a good pop of color. Thanks for being so open. This a great video!

We appreciate you alot for sharing how much you making and motivating people out there and I love what you do in general

My pick of "your worst" would be the fired maple, that one is beautiful and not one you're gonna see very often! But really Cam, they are all unique and you underrate your craftsmanship. Your honesty and video making, along with your excellent projects, make you a top site in my opinion. Thank you for the example you set in your business operation.

My 6 yo daughter loves watching you. She said the yellow table looks like “the cheese in her grilled cheese sandwich at school” 😂 she is also POSITIVE we will someday own something from you. Fingers crossed she’s right!

my favorite of the worst builds was definitely the fire + epoxy table. also, regarding you talking about the money made from each video, transparency is great in my opinion. it gives people an idea of what can be achieved with what metrics. few years back there was a leak on quite a few twitch streamers that gave twitch revenue numbers. granted the leaks weren't 'permission granted' by said streamers, which is shitty, it's still knowledge that puts things into perspective. you stating these five videos' revenues makes (at least me) realize the huge value in putting your work on youtube. after the effort of recording and editing the video, it's essentially passive income. i know the view counts were quite large and thus the dollar value quite large as well, but the point still stands. so yes, thank you

This is one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen of you simply because it felt more behind the scenes with you. Your focused videos are nice and flashy and funny but I’ve always been so curious of how it actually works

My favorite build was the table with the blue river. I really enjoy your laid back not afraid of failure approach.

Blue River Table: The epoxy color aside, I think that the detail and colors of the wood itself on this one is spectacular. Being a mesquite bias kinda guy, I enjoy 'busy' woods. Thanks so much for your honesty and disclosures as to views and revenues. It's enlightening to see what can come of this creature 'KZfaq.' Truly enjoy all your content, Cam. Thanks so much for everything.

Thank you for some great ideas on how to use wood that others would throw away as I also engrave so I will put both to work. Thank you Ed

My favourite of ur "worst" builds was the charcoal tabletop. That was ... chefs kiss

Ironically your blue river epoxy table is probably my favourite piece of all your works.

Cheers for sharing! Oddly, I like the look of some of the projects when they're at the matte stage when you're buffering - know it's a complete waste of the hard work put into working the wood underneath, though!

I actually really like that charred table with the uncharred spot where you cut all the way through to plain wood. Doubt I could ever afford to buy it, but it's giving me ideas for the future.

Great summary video. I liked the last table that yellowed the best. At my amateur level this type of thing would definitely happen on my projects. Nice to see how your humility, and owning the mistake ended up being much better for you than had you "whitewashed" it, or just not had any problems! Keep up the great work, and videos!

I hate to admit now that the blue metallic river table is how I found your channel and is still one of my favorite pieces I have seen of yours. I came here looking at filling voids in wood with blue or turquoise epoxy as I am working on a classic truck with a wood bed floor and I want to use figured mesquite wood for the floor and rather than trying to scrounge up some 7' perfect pieces I think it would be awesome to match the tartan turquoise paint to some degree in some epoxy so I have been researching doing just that (probably a few years ahead of the project being completed).

Cam I am delighted that you are well paid for your efforts and I get well entertained by your efforts. Thank you.
