I Like Money, But This is Better

Love the tongue and cheek humor. Id blow saw dust towards my neighbor if his house wasn’t more than a thousand feet away. A couple things to remember: Everyone in the comments is an 8th degree Theta level woodworker. No matter how clever you think an idea is, someone will kick you square in the nuts telling you that their cousin Leon did that shit years ago. Only better.

I checked the price the table went for. $12k! Absolutely amazing result. Well done mate! PS, love your work 😁

Beautiful table Cam. Thanks for supporting the Make a Wish Foundation! 👍

On the topic of money, I love how straight up you are with how much things cost and how much you make. Shows that you're trustworthy and have confidence in the quality of the product.

As a dad to an 8 year old cancer survivor who recently received his wish from Make-a-Wish, thank you so much for choosing to supporting them! That table is absolutely stunning and is worth every penny that it sells for. This video was truly heartwarming and it's so wonderful to see your amazing talent and generosity come together in such a beautiful piece. :)

The small table top brings people closer together lol. I wonder how much time he spent making that small top just for the joke... worth it!

Cam- Try drilling a hole through the center of the peg. This will allow air out of the hole when gluing and prevent suction when trying to remove the peg during dry fitment.

I'm no engineer, but Google says the flexural yield strength of Walnut is around 10,000 PSI, the thinnest section of this table stem looks like about 3" diameter? that gives us a 7 sq in cross section, or 70,000 lbs of bending force required to break that stem.

I bought this as a gift for my friend youtube.com/post/UgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5k… who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

$4,950. Beyond Beautiful! I showed it to my wife and got “The Look”. It would appear we don’t need another kitchen table as much as I thought…. Update 12 February…..my guess was SO far off. The latest bids attest to Cam’s talents & artistry, and his viewers generosity! Rock On!

Your a professional and i wouldnt expect you to stretch a product out past its life cycle but i know a trick when it comes to flap disk. If it starts getting dull you can run it on a piece of concrete for a few seconds and it will expose some more sand paper. It may be the difference between finishing a job and not. Hope that helps! Great table and i hope it goes for alot.

Absolutely stunning. I love walnut and the beauty that it has. I was gonna say that this table might score 7-8K but I'm shocked & pleased that it actually went for 12K. Amazing work for an Amazing cause! Great Job.

As a musician who loves figured wood, I think what you do is beautiful. There's enough wood to go around .

missed ya! I'm not a woodworker of any sort, but i love watching woodworking videos but none are as good as yours. I love the balance of personal chatter & technical talk, plus i love the fact there's no annoying music covering the sounds from the shop.

Rarely do I sit through a 10+ minute long video without skipping ahead q bunch of times or leaving early. Your projects, editing, and voiceovers are fantastic and intriguing. Thanks! Keep it up!

Keep up the great work! Probably the first 25-minute YouTube video I've watched beginning to end without fast forwarding / stopping. So well done! I'm a hobbiest woodworker, lately focusing on games for friends and family. The way you explain things and don't talk like a prideful expert is so wonderful and refreshing.

Your a legend for putting your own coin & sending your profits to make a wish. You seem like a really good person & deserve all the success you are experiencing. Very inspiring man love your work & content keep it up 🙏🏼

$12,120.12. Love the the table, the cause, the craftsmanship, the video coverage, the information on the links. You really put a lot work into one video and love all of them. Thank you for what you do Cam.

Cam, top tip for the glueups when doing M & T's that are so snug it's essentially a piston fit, and that would be to either drill a hole about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch into either the mortice or the tenon, OR (preferred method) to have at least a couple of shallow vertically cut channels in the loose tenon to give the excess glue someplace to escape from - this is why wooden dowels and domino's are ribbed, it's not to increase glue surface area but to allow a way for the excess glue (and air) to escape so you don't end up with something called "hydraulic lock" - a phenomenon that occurs when there's too much glue and air in the void below the tenon and no space for it to escape from, so the loose tenon cannot "bottom out" to full depth and sits above the pocket of uncompressable glue and air. (For the readers) Hydraulic lock is pretty much the #1 reason why a M & T / domino / dowel joint that is 100% snug and good when dry fitted, just will not close after glueup without applying excessive pressure (like ratchet clamps), that normally leads to joint failure. If the joint won't close with clamps using hand pressure, you've got hydraulic lock, DO NOT force it, fix it. If you fit a loose tenon, dowel or domino into a mortice or drilled hole and as soon as you push it in, it slides out again - that's also a sign of hydraulic lock - too much glue and air stuck in the bottom, remove it, wipe some glue off and try again.

I'm jumping in before I read all the other comments. Hoping it went for $15K at least. It's beautiful. My grandfather was a fantastic woodworker, but didn't have 1/4 of the equipment... My dad was a genius metalworker with a huge shop. I went the white collar route, but it is a blast to watch you and your skill. I really appreciate your sense of humor along the way. 7.9 billion non-subscribers? super funny.
