Nice work, but those handles must go darling!
Someone posing as your channel responded to one of my comments saying I won a give away. I knew it was a scam, but I played along to see how much they would try to scam me for. Once I called their bluff, they disappeared. 😠 😡 👿
What a great story! You are such an incredible human!
@@TheInselaffenthey will go, with the dresser 😊
@@KimNevelzerglad you caught this
Shawshank Redemption on the TV! My fave film. Also loved your paint removal process. Great restoration overall! 🙏🏽✨️
Barry, my grandmother would stop at every dump, pile of anything along the curb or roadside looking for treasures. I remember her refinishing EVERYTHING she found. She would strip off the old paint, varnish and refinish the beautiful wood underneath. She even reupholstered chairs she would find along the side of the road.
I had to give you a sub because of your perfect calming voice! I loved your voiceover story too. You got my vote!
❤ You got a key for the locks ❤
he is too calm!
I like hearing stories about other peoples fathers. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a good dad and had a horrible step father but it’s nice to know there are good dads out there and people with happy memories.
I'm also enjoying the comments
I'm in the same boat. My dad spent his time behind bars at Menard State Prison in Southern Illinois. In fact, my dad taught me everything about being a father. Just do everything he never did.
Every Sunday I would sit in a big recliner and my dad would read me the funny papers. (Comic Strips)
Love this!
Fantastic restoration, Barry!❤ I loved the story about your 4th grade teacher and when you revealed that the teacher was your dad, I teared up a bit.🥺 That was a sweet moment.🥰 My own father was a great man. He died when I was 24 years old and I miss him all the time. I will honor his memory, as I always do, on Father's Day. Stay close to your dad. You're going to be a wonderful father too!☺
Thanks Barry for sharing. My dad came from nothing - one of 9 kids born to an alcoholic welder and a homemaker - and went on to finish high school, college and have a great career. We never saw eye to eye on everything - he had extremely high expectations for us - but he taught me the value of working hard, being a good person and that there is nothing more satisfying than a job well done. I am lucky to have him around still and to be a great grandfather to our son. He did a lot for us - investing thousands into a computer in the mid 80s, paying for our college and helping us move into our own homes - and without any expectation of paying it back, since he knew what it was like to have nothing. Have a great Father's Day with your dad. Regards.
Thank you for this comment
I’m glad you had such a great Dad. I did too 😊 Hug your Dad for me. I lost mine in 2019.
The dresser looked divine when you finished restoring it. Thank you,
This video warmed my heart. When you started talking about your fourth grade teacher I thought "how nice he's still in touch with his teacher!", and then you said "Thank you' Dad" and I shed a few tears. Family is everything to me, and it is so nice to imagine your father's pleasure when you shared this project with him. He must be very proud of his son, and anxious to walk the woods with his grandkids.
My grandad was an agronomist, and we would take walks together, when I was a little girl, and my favorite game was to try to find a tree he could not name. I always lost! Grandad is long gone, and my mom and dad also. But their presence in my heart is strong.
Here is to many years of you sharing things with your dad! Bless both of you.
Hugs from Sao Paulo, Brazil
Another amazing piece!!
Thank you.
Another handsome result! And that you for the shared remanences.
My dad was 50 when I came along. Needless to say, when, at age 10, I did "the math," I decided to spend time learning all about his wood-working skills. He was a man of deep conviction and faith, and we had many discussions about faith, life, and God's view. June 20th marks 29 years he's been gone. I'm glad you, too, we're blessed with a loving father. Being a public h.s. teacher, I attest there is no greater or more significant role for a man than to be a dedicated father.
Watching at 1am in Australia. Loved the shirtless overalls you were wearing. Hot stuff.
Beautiful 😻 colour scheme...😳
I have a nearly identical little dresser like that at my cabin. Someday, I will strip and refinish it to bring it back to life. I hope it will be to as high a standard of craftsmanship as you have set.
I also have one that if not identical, is close enough to confuse. It had many layers of deeply imbedded paint. In the end I was left with three distinct layers, all melded and burnished. It is very unique, I get frequent compliments.
Peeling paint is soooo satisfying!
Yes!
I think of my dad every time I watch one of your videos. He loved to work with wood and taught himself all the techniques he used to make furniture over the years. We all have items in our homes he made for us, and they are lovely momentoes to have. My dad was a role model in so many ways. He had a tough life. At fourteen he lost his own dad and dropped out of school to start work and to support his mother. I look back at the struggles he and my parents faced and I'm proud of how they survived and had a happy marriage for over 50 years. Losing him to cancer 4 years ago was very hard, but his legacy lives on. We talk about him every day, and I regularly quote him. My siblings and I often say "what would dad do?"we always seem to get an answer. The people in our lives that give us love and nurture us, leave lasting imprints. I am lucky to have many such positive influencers in my life, my dad being top of the list. He would've loved your channel Barry and would've given you every encouragement in what you do. You are in the role of influencer now and your positive messages are just as impactful as those between a father and a child. Keep doing what you're doing for as long as you get fulfilment and pleasure from it and share your experiences with us. We all benefit and we all grow in our experiences together. Much love from Liverpool, UK.
This means so much
I am a new subscriber, but after watching how you restored this beautiful piece I just had to. Loved listening to you. So soothing! I cringe when I see a piece that has been painted over, it is like a blow to the soul. Much prefer the natural wood shining through, especially with something so old when the craftmanship was so beautifully done. They don't make them like this anymore or not that I can find. Kudo's to you!
I love that you kept the glass knobs!
Those were my favorite
My dad is the best man I know, always in hood spirit and able to do basically everything. He can repair all kinds of stuff, is hard-working, generous, creative and kind. I wish to be more like him ❤
Another amazing resurrection of a great furniture find, combined with a fantastic, and meaningful narrative throughout the process. I always look forward to viewing your next project videos. Bravo Barry! 👏
Thank you so much
Shawshank Redemption is playing on TV
Yesss! A sad but Awesome movie.❤ Well the ended was epic! Lol
Enjoyed your video and restoration.
My dad... He was one of those people who could do and fix anything. Engines, house renovations, plumber, tiler, painter, builder, gardener... As a child I was often his assistant, handing over tools, passing things up to him, holding the ladder. Learnt to have attention to detail and always making sure things were square and plumb. 😊
My dad wanted to do what you do. He loved making things right. He worked so hard to raise his 12 children and I know his passions were left largely unaddressed.
Wonderful! Beautiful work & faithful vision. Thank you.
Thank you
Shawshank Redemption! My favourite movie! 🇨🇦❤️
yes
Lovely.
Lots of love for Dad and teachers. I wish I could let my 6th grade teachers (whom I drove crazy because I didn't work hard) that the revenge is I am now a teacher.
I would love to have this in my bedroom. reminds me of my grand parents home. they were born around 1900, give or take a few years.
Hi there Barry..so happy to see you doing your good work..love it! Sending hugs from your neighbour from the north 🇨🇦
My father was an incredible man. Self taught carpenter, who could make almost anything out of wood. His love of family was incredible, even now 20 years after his death, I still hear stories of his kindness and big heart.
Love this
love the dresser! are those knobs original? never seen knobs like those before on older furniture. tell your dad Happy Fathers Day for me. never knew my father. but i was lucky to have a few role models in my life so i did not miss out. they were fathers to my friends and have since passed on. treated me just like their daughter and i was grateful for it.
Beautiful work as always Barry. Dad passed away this February 2023. While its still raw, he taught me so much about wood and how to work with it. We spent many a Sunday in the shed either chopping wood for the week, or just messing around making something. I think about him all the while..
Thanks for the awesome and heartfelt story. This was an amazing restoration Barry. I remember going into our basement and shed just to see what my dad was working on. To this day the smell of a workshop reminds me of him.
I think this is your best video to date. Loved it. What a special dresser, story, and honor to see you include your Dad. One day you WILL be an amazing Father. All the best to you.
I love how much time you dedicate to expanding on your furniture projects and connecting them to a larger story - either about the furniture, it's manufacturer, or a personal story. It's a nice reminder that these are more than just things - they are parts of homes and lives 😊
Thank you so much
One of my absolute favorites: Shawshank Redemption. Great movie choice and great restoration. :)
Might be a long-shot, but I'm going with Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A for the cassette. Thanks for the great video as always. Brought back lots of memories of my dad, furniture my grandfather made, and a few of those special teachers I'll never forget.
I am always charmed by the simplicity of furniture pieces like this dresser. Thanks for bringing it back to its basic beauty!
I’ve stripped and refinished several of these pieces over the years. I called them ‘sideboards’…I still have two in my living room. Both are painted but I’ve reworked their finishes. I love them because they hold memories…one was given me by my late brother George and the other was a kind elderly mother of a friend of mine. Good for you!
The shawshank redemption. One of my favourite films 😊❤
mine too
Shawshank Redemption. My favorite movie. Beautiful video, Barry. 💕🙏🏻✨
The movie is Shawshank Redemption. I’ve refinished a couple of these type of dressers, so I know how much time goes into it. Beautiful restoration, Barry!
thank you for understanding this
My Daddy is 84 years old and still works on the farm everyday. The other day he was up on the roof of his house with the roofers! I have many wonderful memories of him but one of the best was how we rode on the tractor with him. This was a small Massey Ferguson and 4 kids. My brother(the youngest) would sit in Daddy’s lap. My 2 sisters would each sit on a fender facing inward and I stood on the drawbar on the back and held onto the fenders behind my sisters. There were kids hanging all over that tractor when we went down the road lol🤗 I had to keep my knees bent and if we hit a bump and I got bounced into the air, be sure i came back down on that narrow bar. Lol. People would have kittens if they saw us doing that today🤗 but it’s some of my fondest memories.🤗❤️🐝
You voice is so calming with your story telling.
Aww, that made me tear up a little. Blessings on you and your craft. (Shawshank Redemption)
My father passed away in 2017. I loved him dearly and miss him desperately. We were extremely close and shared many long, loving conversations about life and the importance of family. Faith in Jesus was a common topic. My Dad was my greatest cheerleader and encourager. I appreciate your obvious love for your Dad as you spoke about him. Keep up the great work and I wish you continued success in your business. BTW, the movie was Shawshank Redemption.
Thank you so much for sharing this
Thanks for sharing such a touching story from your past. My dad had many occupations throughout his life, the most memorable to me was when he did carpentry work. I watched and learned how to use power and manual tools, which has proven to come in very handy throughout my life. Thanks Dad! And thanks to all the dads out there, know that your kids do pay attention once in a while lol😂 the dresser is awesome, by the way.
The transformation is incredible!
So therapeutic watching you. I never get bored watching learning and seeing someone’s trash turned to another’s treasure ❤
You are right about the scraping. The only time I would hesitate to do so would be with doing a really fine antique, or something with intricate detail that might be easily damaged by scraping. The same for chemical strippers. Some of the older finishes can be released, or for that matter renewed with specific solvents. Shellac for instance responds well to denatured alcohol, but Shellac does not respond to some strippers. I learned that one the hard way. Also, some lacquers can be toungh for any chemical to cut through, scraping or sanding is the best answer. Last note Iearned from an elderly neighbor when I was young who helped me with a few of my first projects, the importance of figuring out the old finish you are working with. Shellacs and related work well with scraping, but some of them, sanding heats the old finish and makes a mess and stains the old wood. Just some ramblings.
This is such good information. Thank you
By the same token, older furniture that was produced in a factory was usually finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. This can be stripped with lacquer thinner.
@@islandblind also, denatured alcohol is the test for shellac
@@richardpfefier1171 It is.
Shawshank Redemption on the TV. 😊
Shawshank redemption is the movie. This piece turned out just wonderfully!
I see you're listening to The Shawshank Redemption...classic. However, I must state ...your work is beautiful. You have given this piece a new lease of life.
Such a heartfelt video ! I hope you do get to have children and share things with them, I think your dad would love that he has such a place in your heart and that he will be remembered always by what you teach your kids ! I'm sure he is proud of you 😊
Thank you so much!
My father and I didn't see eye to eye during my teenage years, we disagreed on almost anything. After I left home I missed him more than I had anticipated and every time I visited I was greeted with a huge smile and I realised that it was my own teenage arrogance ( I knew best what was good for me) that caused the past tension between us. He taught me and my siblings to be decent caring human beings and not have any ill thoughts to anyone "different". As I and he grew older he delighted in my children and loved my wife who in turn adored him (She had never known her own father). In short my dad was my hero and I miss him every day. I am 60 now and m lucky to have had three kids of my own and, just recently, welcomed my 4th grandson into the world. I love your channel Barry, long may it continue. Jim, from Scotland.
Thank for the honesty in your story. A similar story at that and 60 here as well😅 he taught me more than I even know. darn "Cat's in the Cradle ", right 😅
Hi Barry 👋 👋
What a beautiful relationship you have with your father ❤
Shawshank redemption. Loved this episode. You do beautiful wrk and I love the stories especially that your 4th grade teacher was your dad 🥹❤️My father adopted me and my sister when he married my mother in 1970. He was a 5th grade teacher then an assistant principal at my middle school. He passed away last yr at 81. I too was given the gift of outdoor education and appreciation to trees flowers birds etc. thank you Barry for bringing out the memories today ❤️
Thank you for sharing this Jodi
Wonderful tribute to your Dad & Teacher! Your meticulous attention to detail and perseverence to restore these furniture pieces are a testament to the man he raised. My Dad was also a teacher - he taught American History - first in a high school and then later on at the college level. He taught for over 30 years. Sadly, he passed away 12 years ago now - at age 90. What I admire above all else about the man my Dad was, was his ability to teach himself to do whatever it took to accomplish something. My folks bought an old house (1854) when I was 2 years old. An old house has many many things that need to be replaced, repaird and updated in it. Since he was a teacher - there was rarely any extra $ to hire someone for these projects. So he taught himself how: plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, wall papering, painting - you name it. More often than not one of us children were his 'extra pair of hands'. [there were 4 of us]. In his later years, finally retired, he taught himself woodworking - buiding cradles for one of my children and one of my sister's. He built a video storage cabinet for my Mom (who took more videos than she bought - but they all needed someplace to be stored). He also built a cabinet for each of the bathrooms - to replace wall mounted simple sinks , with substantial cabinets that suit the age / style of the home. I have now inhereted this family home. So many memories of all his 'project's and improvements' surround me here. There are machines and tools in his 'workshop' that I would be afraid to use - but would love to see them put to use by someone who knows how.... [Care to make a road trip to MA - ?] Thank you for giving me an opening to share about my Dad - I miss him.
Your comment brought me to tears. I'm so glad you have such sweet memories and now where ever you look it reminds you of family.
this would be incredible to see! I have been there many times. I will keep you in mind the next time. Thank you for sharing this story
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed hearing about your dad. Sounds like he was a wonderful person.
Thank you for this story! I've finished reading with tears in my eyes.
I love seeing a piece with good bones brought back to it’s original beauty! 👍🏼
Thanks for this one Barry. I'm loosing my Dad to Alzheimer's but my memories of him when I was wee in the shed with a saw/hammer or a shovel. We made a kinda sit in seesaw out of the headboard and foot board of an old bed. I like this make over, it looks loved. ❤❤
Such a lovely restoration and an even more lovely story! Barry, I enjoy your videos so much and the care you give to each item you work on comes through! Give your dad a great big hug from me for loving and nurturing such an amazing human being. Be well and may this Father's Day bring much joy to you and your family.
PS The movie is one of my favorites. The Shawshank Redemption. Another favorite is The Green Mile. Both by Stephen King, my favorite author! His books definitely give one a deeper look at the human condition and what makes us tick. 😊
My 90 year old father, spent most of his life (and nearly all of my childhood) as a missionary in Kenya. He taught me to love people of every race, religion, and culture, as well as their food, clothing, smell, language and so much more. He loved taking me on safaris, walks or bike rides through the African bush. He taught me all about the wild animals that we saw wherever we went. He taught me how important it is to know and understand history so I can make good decisions for today. He taught me to love the Bible and to understand the true nature of God. He was - and still is - gentle, kind, and hilarious. Though he can’t remember much these days, I remember everything he taught me. I love you, Dad.
Aww, what a wonderful story and a fascinating childhood! Thank you for sharing this, I could only wish my father had taught me to love the Bible, I had to find God on my own(thank the Lord for His relentless pursuit of us!). My father is 97 and an atheist and refuses to listen to anything about the Bible.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I’ll pray for your Dad it may be. the Lord is keeping him here so he can be saved. Keep showing him the love you know.
@@Greenacres1958 indeed! I’ll add him to my prayer list as well. It’s only too late once we have passed from this world. .
@Catherine Palmer - how blessed you are to have had him there to teach you and to instill the importance of having Christ in your life. 🙂
Do u love the parts of the Bible that condone slavery, sexual assault, and the mass murdering of children?
favorite movie quote and life philosophy " get busy livin or get busy dyin'" from Shawshank
I was late for your Live, but I really liked what you said about your father. My father was also my best friend and advisor. It's good to have these memories in the heart!! Great week for you!!
Thank you for this
Once again BRAVO 👏🏽. To the story telling, cinematography, editing and to embracing this new chapter in your life! Many of us don’t follow our hearts in making changes. Kudos to you for doing so. Can’t wait to see what this new chapter brings 😉!
I really appreciate the encouragement
You told us and showed us a beautiful story….🌟
Thanks for listening
The Film Playing In The Background Is The Shawshank Redemption Love This Movie. As Always Great Work
You did a meticulous job bringing this dresser back to life. A piece that anyone would be proud to display in their home. Thank you.
I have to say it Again....BRAVO Barry!!! You don't disappoint. Wonderful restoration and story!. Warms my heart to know you love and respect your father. Men, husband's and fathers are the anchors of any family, and obviously your father did a spectacular job. Just as I'm confident you will too when the time is right. Until then, PLEASE keep doing what you're doing. Happy Father's day to everyone.
I wish we had the option of giving a ❤️ instead of the 👍🏻. Sometimes these videos deserve the ❤️ most of all.
Great Video. The movie playing in the background in "The Shawshank Redemption".
Barry, thanks for another sensitive restoration. And for sharing your memories of your dad.
My dad taught himself to refinish furniture in the 1960s, including re-caning chair seats and backs with flat reeding. I spent some happy hours working with him on projects.
What a gift to think about him today! Thank you.
My grandfather was a carpenter, and I loved looking around his shop in his basement. I have some of his tools, and also some boxes and a chest he built from scrap from his work. They are beautifully crafted, and I have refinished them very carefully so their beauty shines through. My father was a mechanical engineer who loved to tinker in the garage fixing things, and I was his shadow because I love to learn how things work. We would sometimes spend a Saturday afternoon at little airports watching planes and talking to people in the hangars, Dad would just stroll in and start chatting with the pilots and mechanics, me in tow. Such fond memories, and I miss them both very much! Both of them are long gone, but I think I inherited their love of wood and tools; I am learning woodworking now and how to better refinish things. I have the time to pursue this now that I am retired.
this is such a wholesome and peaceful channel
thank you so much
💜I think about my Father every day. My Mother too. They taught me so much by example, humility, frugality, and being of service to others. There were also many practical lessons. I am 75 years old, and I still do a lot of things like my parents taught me. They were here during the depression and that shaped their whole lives. Thank you for sharing this project, and your thoughts.
I love it. I'm so glad the handles were all there. It turned out so so nice.
Ah Shawshank Redemption such a good movie you do great work I enjoy watching your videos
Wow! A new life for a classic piece. Thank you for bringing this sad piece back to its beautiful self.
The Shawshank Redemption
Absolutely beautiful. Having loving parents is something to treasure, for sure. My dad is 92, and still has wisdom to share. 🙂
Love that!
The dresser looks amazingly 😊 the movie is Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me😅
The Shawshank Redemption! One of my all time favorite movies!
That turned out so wonderfully! You certainly have given this piece a new life!
Thank you so much!
There are no words to describe how amazing this transformation is. Beautiful doesn’t do it justice!!
My father was a veterinarian so I had an amazing childhood. Too many stories to share here, but I’m so grateful I had the chance to thank him for a great childhood as he was preparing to leave this earth. He seemed surprised when I told him how grateful I was and started crying. 😢 He’s been gone for 5 years already!
so sorry for this loss
That turned out beautifully.
This was delightful to watch, and the finished result is beautiful. My dad was a carpenter and made most of our furniture. I loved to watch him work; it’s so satisfying to see nice, well-made old furniture restored.
Love this. Thank you for sharing
You're such a wonderful storyteller! I always enjoy listening to your commentary when watching your restorations. You did such a phenomenal job, as always, and brought so much life back to this piece. Great job!!!
As someone who came from an extremely dysfunctional family, I still struggle with finding joy in my life, even in the little things. I used to feel bitter when hearing someone's story and all the great things they went through in childhood. Now I'm just thankful that despite my own past not being great, that doesn't count for everyone. I'm glad you shared this nice story from your childhood, it made me think of the little things in my own childhood that made me happy.
The dresser also looks great!
The history and furniture, wonderfull¡¡¡¡¡ Amazing¡¡¡¡¡
You are a wonderful story teller. I have an oak desk more than 100 years old that I helped my Dad refinish. He was a very patient man who taught me so much.
Thank you so much
Wow it looks amazing. I love how you are so detailed when restoring every part of this cabinet ❤️ I can see how much it truly means to you doing this. The patience. You had seen it’s natural beauty the moment you spotted it. To me that is an art a gift that only few have. I thank your father for opening your eyes to Gods creation 🙏 to view the world as you do. Great job! You give me inspiration & that I truly thank you for 🙏
This means alot. Thank you
Stunning. I do miss restoration. Sunday morning at flea Market. The enjoyment of stripping paint off to reveal the beauty of the wood beneath ❤
06:15 I wasn't paying any attention to the movie until now. Then I saw Tim Robbins. So, of course, it's The Shawshank Redemption. 😁 One of my all-time faves. 🥰
Прекрасная работа. Замечательный результат. Ожившие вещи доставляют радость. Спасибо
Everything you do Barry is done with love and great consideration for the item that you are restoring. You have endless patience and produce a high end finish every time. From this I can see that you are/were an amazing paramedic which is something to be proud of. My dad and I had a difficult relationship and as such we never really knew each other. He was not a bad man and was hard working but we never did anything together not even talked as I was growing up. I think that it stemmed from how he himself was brought up. Best wishes.
I have noticed the same things about Barry. He treats each piece with respect to its history, which I truly appreciate. I've also thought that Barry was no doubt a very caring paramedic. 🤍
I'm sorry to hear that you and your father missed out on getting to know each other. Having a distant father can really leave scars, which I relate to. Most of the time, they are simply repeating the way they were raised, but that doesn't make it any less scarring. Hopefully, you've been able to thrive despite your upbringing. 🌸
This means alot. Thank you
The Shawshank Redemption is the movie. My dad was a mechanical engineer. He wasn't really handy but he built 2 small boats in the backyard. He loved building them and I loved helping him.
Thank you for sharing
I like “Shawshank Redemption” very much. My overall favorite movie. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for making them.
Thank you Nelson
As always, Barry, this is a beautiful restoration. How do you do this EVERY time?
Barry it was fantastic as always! I was wondering through the entire video if You Were going to keep the glass hardware or try to put something that was closer to. Correct back on the dresser but it looked great in the end.🎉
