    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 YouTube / 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.
  • @TheJrrk
    Not too many people would be honest about the money made for content. Thank you Cam. Very interesting!
  • @Natec_k
    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
  • @psyfusion
    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.

    The burnt table. Life isn't fair. The amount of terrible projects I create I should be a millionaire 😂
  • @timpatty
    That blue river table was one of the coolest table. It was stunning. The swirls. Wow!
  • @Beyondthebark1
    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 YouTube journey! It gives me hope that it’s not to late to jump in and make at least a decent living doing so
  • @prestonbrice5425
    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. 🤞
  • 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.
  • 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
  • @chadduke1454
    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.
  • @NEWGHOST9
    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
  • @megaflux7144
    im actually thrilled that somebody i trust is just being transparent about youtube.
  • @MsRotorwings
    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.
  • @linagardiner5759
    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.
  • @cadehall6399
    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.
  • @sealdoggydog
    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!
  • @IWILSONMCF
    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
  • @bruceallen6377
    Love to see a video on your absolute favorite pieces that didn't sell! Thanks for your channel!
