Aside from your YouTube income, I think the advertising value of your Blacktail Studio videos far out ways any "secret techniques" lost to your competition. And people looking for $10,000 tables are not shopping by price, so your reputation is paramount. The videos show your integrity.

A true Gentleman sharing hints and tips to save people thousands  well done sir.
Love howvyou saved the best tip for the end

I am relatively new small buisness and wanted to tell you that all your videos helped me get confidence in my wood working.  Long story short,,,,,,, 2019 my wife fell sick with cancer for the 2nd time and she spent a year fighting but we lost her.  BUT,  while she was sick that year her and I would watch your videos and she convinced me to take the risk and do what I love to do.  You are right in that your videos help your competitors but doing something to help others has a karma affect and you are proof.  Sorry for the rambling but your videos are so so appretiated!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't clamp to the melamine!  I did on my first table; the melamine slowly gave way.  Corollary: support every bit of melamine with plywood or your bench.

Cam, I am a beginner woodworker  and I've been watching your various videos for the better part of a year. I have picked up most of your rules from them but it is great to have them all in one spot. Thank you! You have inspired me and I'm ready to start on my first round coffee table project. Thanks for everything. You rock!

Vinyl contact paper (self adhesive shelf liner) works great as a mold release. Works especially well for covering forms with flat bottoms/sides. Much faster to apply than packing tape, and pretty cheap too.

WELL DONE. I WILL BE BACK.

Hey Cam, I'm a couple weeks late on seeing this video so idk if you'll see this, but would you be willing to purposefully screw up some test tables to show examples of some of these errors? Like the bleeding pigment or not sealing the top or even wet wood? I would love some visual examples! Thanks for the tips.

Cam, your humbleness is awesome❤

Thanks for all the helpful info. Removing the bark is a great tip. I thought about leaving it on. Now I won't.  Great job!

How long do you wait between the pours?

You know what I just love about your videos; your honesty, your humor and your assertiveness to say what you think regardless of what others think.  I have been watching your videos since you started (at least I think it was when you first started) and have enjoyed each and everyone.  in short and in my opinion, you call a spade a spade.  Keep it up.

Rule number one applies to epoxy table making and the bedroom equally

0:27 keep it as thick as possible
1:20 seal your edges
3:42 clamp your pieces
4:52 remove the bark
6:22 use a fan to cool epoxy
8:42 always seal your forms
10:34 always use mould release
11:39 let epoxy cure
14:17 limit epoxy thickness
17:05 only buy dry wood
18:38 use good quality products
19:00 mix epoxy well
21:00 seal the top of your slabs

Thanks for doing this, Cam! I love your work, your attitude, and your humor.

Liked your last rule best seal the top.  I always watch to the end.  Giving the temperature rang that is too hight was good insight.

Took me till 14:00 to realize this was a second channel and get subbed..

))))
Your reply to the troll of the week is just epic! ))) I can't stop smiling ))
Top marks here! )))

Thanks so much for all your good information. Your products are brilliant, your input is extremely valuable, I'm just getting started with all this and have made at least half the mistakes you mentioned in your top 10 list. Mixing the epoxy is my first and foremost Rule and I'm using liquid glass as a first choice because it seemed like the best. All my best, Robert

Your transparency and humility are refreshing- I tend to more comfortably trust a person who can not only own their mistakes but that will also share what was learned from those mistakes. Your explanations are great as well- rules are helpful yes but it’s so much easier to follow any rule if you know why the rule specifically exists. Your videos are comprehensive, thorough yet engaging I don’t feel I have to skip or jump to “the point”- everything is relevant. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know this video is 3 years old- but I’ve just discovered your channel. I wish you much inspiration and success!
