He keeps saying customer, but from the story told only put down a deposit and hadn't bought anything. So if the other table never goes through, possible as that table is going to likely inflate in price after 3 years just to get the wood. This will have been the only purchase, plus some interest from holding the $16k.

I thought that too, would make them "float' more, but nobody is really looking under the table, so I don't think it really matters.

Kinda surprised to see you use those plywood blocks under the skis! Might have either used pre cast clear epoxy blocks our routed and filled after the initial pour. Either way, great video!

I thought he'd route and fill them also. Realistically, who's getting under that table, but it doesn't seem like Cam to let a detail like that slide. He could've even made them a bit of a feature if he made little mountain shaped stands like they were spanning peaks. Idk, it's still a cool table.

This is one of those “seeing how the sausage is made” details. I never considered it would matter since nobody will be under the table, but I have around 40 of these comments in the first hour. So rest assured, my next table like this will have optical grade crystal stand-offs to keep the minions at bay 😊

Keep up the good work and the excellent videos.

@RobHowdleMusic29 25 күн бұрын

I love your videos. I don’t care whether you’re making a video on making an epoxy table, adding a new tool to your shop, making a how to video on wood panelling your toilet or making an wooden fish. You’re one of the best KZfaqrs I watch, your videos are high quality, informative, honest and funny. I watch all of your videos when you upload them and I think the best part of your videos is that when you describe things you’re honest about them and your abilities and it makes them so much more relatable to people who are getting started out not being made to think “if you aren’t born a professional woodworker you’ve got no chance”. I also really appreciate the fact you show your mistakes and own up to them. We all make mistakes and seeing people make them and then show how they fix them but also explain WHY it didn’t work is so important. Keep up the great work!
