WARNING! Do not respond to any messages saying you have won something on my channel. This is a Scam and has been reported! So happy to be back narrating! This was supposed to be a simple restoration, but there were many challenges along the way. Thank you for all the support. I am slowly catching up with all of your comments on the channel. Barry
Table didn't look too bad at first, but then multiple layers of surprises! You are so professional with your restorations, I thought you had been doing this for decades. Appreciated your kind words in this video. Thankful for all of the differences we all have. Keep encouraging and uplifting everyone you cross paths with. You are an amazing individual! 💖💖💖
You must be an amazing health care provider. Your calm voice gives a feeling of almost absolute lightness. Your work as a caretaker of furniture that needs attention is UNBELIEVABLE. Congratulations!
Like you, I began taking care of elderly neighbors in fourth~fifth grade. I never charged, it was so interesting listening to their life stories. You are exactly right, we are supposed to be of help to our people. I try my best to make someone, anyone smile or laugh. Every chance I get. If you’re down. Chances are so favourable that you will not only lift them up. But yourself as well. You’re a good man, Barry.
Barry, you have the touch! Every project you do seems to turn out so gorgeous. And your gentle personality really comes through in your videos. I can't wait to see new videos from you because they are entertaining, inspiring and calming all at the same time. Keep up the good work and know that there are many people out there (here) that appreciate you.
Holy cannoli! That was some thick layers of paint to scrape off. It looks so nice now. Well done. 👍🏼 Edit to add how nice it was that the seller disclosed the need to let you see the table before committing.
I'm not sure which is more mesmerizing... your calm, mellow voice... or your amazing way of working with the furniture. I only know I can't wait to see your videos. Much love and appreciation from a grandmother in Texas. (It's my dream to take up restoration... because of you!)
Your level of detail and care for furniture is impeccable. I am sure that same level of care is imparted to your patients in your health care job! Great job as always.
I love how you research the history of the pieces you work on. My grandfather and my dad were furniture men. I grew up appreciating their views on all kinds of furniture.
You went from nurse to surgeon. Your dedication to a project is impeccable. This explains your patience, and I have often thought that you remind me of a nurse.
I bet the weight of the table went down by half when you stopped off the paint! Another beauty with an uplifting message, too. Thanks Barry. You bring a bright spot to every day that you share content with us.
If you put half the care into your patients as you do your restorations, I’d be happy to have have you watching over me in the hospital or setting your in. Amazing work and what an inspiration.
Your patience is the key to your restorations, your story telling and your calm manner. Thank goodness for types like you to keep the rest of the world calm and level headed. Beautiful!!!!
Barry, you have the patience of Job. This poor table looked beyond saving, but your detail work and persistence carried the day. It's lovely and will find a good home with ease. Thanks for another trip to your garage/shop!
We're really enjoying your channel. About a month ago, I was admitted to the hospital with a blocked kidney and sepsis. I 100% appreciate the healthcare workers that saved my life. Thank you for this fine content and for the help you provided to sick and injured folks.
I so appreciate that you didn't give up on this little table. Usually you have one layer of paint to get thru before the item's potential starts to appear. But there were literally so many layers with this one, and you transformed it into something truly beautiful. Thank you Barry.
You are kind, and talented in your hobbies undoubtedly as well in your chosen field of health care. That you for your service to your community. 💝🙏💝 Thank you for your time and it's very wonderful to watch you.
Beautiful job! I’m so glad you went with the Rubio. It really brought out that gorgeous grain. And I loved the idea of using another coffee table to perfectly clamp down the veneer - genius! 😊
I really like that you chose a stain that would let the wood grain come through. Even though that’s not the typical color, it looks wonderful on that piece. Thank you and take care!
@@MadCityModern of course. I was happy to see this one live!! This one looked like a lost cause initially when u stripped the flaking veneer...but I knew u would take that lifeless piece and bring it back to life. Have a good evening Barry and all mcm fam
I really enjoy your videos and this is an excellent example of why - what a simple piece, but what a change. The finish is what really does it for me - simple, clean, appropriate for the era. Nice.
Another superb Restoration, Barry. I am constantly amazed at the damage prior owner's cause to furniture. I'm equally amazed at Your ability to restore the piece to its original condition.
I love the shape of this table!!! You are all unique individuals, but I love your work and your character! You can express your thoughts in a few words and I always enjoy your videos! You did magic on this poor table! The finish is beautiful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing
I was wondering when you would find a surfboard coffee table. I remember them from my childhood. You did a beautiful job, especially considering what you had to work with. I love that you rescue these gems from the past. 😊
Wow Barry you worked your magic yet again! I do furniture flipping full time now as my retirement job and you’ve inspired me to venture into doing more restorations. Your videos are so detailed and informative and your beautiful, creative soul shines ❤️
What can I say that has not yet been said...enjoy every minute watching you put so much care into your work, and sharing your philosophy...thank you...oh, and what a cool ending!!!
I have a glass and brass 60's surf board table, so i love this style and you did not disappoint in bringing it back to life. btw, i love that wing back chair. you have great taste
I was glad to see you add a tad bit of water to the wood filler. I've done that many times but wasn't sure it was a good thing to do. The table is a beauty.
Clean, simple lines, beautiful bookmatched veneer surface, and an excellent choice of finish - You have made this worn out old piece of MCM new again. KAWABUNGA ! 😁
Beyond the amazing restoration work, you have such a soothing voice! I found your channel very recently. Most often I watch videos like this in mute, but not yours. It's very informative and calming at the same time. Thanks for the nice work. Regards from Brazil!
Not at all. I got immense satisfaction from picking my teenage brother's spots many years ago. Nowadays I pick litter in the local woods. It's turning wrong into right. 🙂
You are amazingly talented Barry. You took what may have been in the bone yrd to something that belongs in a modern home. Long and hard wrk but boy what a beauty. 🇺🇸👍🏼
I love the way you look at all the little flaws before you even begin. Amd then the way you explain why you made that choice. Your restorations are very soothing and educational and you lift us up :) Thank you :)

🤔and I thought I won something. Figures, I never win anything.
I thought I'd won something too, I was hoping for a Chest of Drawers 🤣😂😁
@@cheryl2103 this is too good!
@@Christin5554 me neither : )
So glad I offered to regift it back to Barry as the prize was be too insanely expensive to ship the prize to northern Canada, lol.

What an incredible transformation. That poor abused table had definitely seen better days but you gave it a new life. Beautiful job.
Hope you saw your name on the Rubio! Thank you!

Thank you for replacing the veneer! Another UA-cam restorer replaced the veneer then kept the piece for herself. This makes my day! Thank you!
I appreciate this

It doesn't get more beautiful than black walnut, man that looks good!!!
I agree. Thank you so much
You gave her back the blush of her youth! Beautiful
Thank you
I truly appreciate what you said about uplifting and supporting each other despite our differences. Thank you.
Thank you. I meant it
WOW!!! I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SURFBOARD COFFEE TABLE RESTORATION SO MUCH!!!
IT LOOKS FANTSTIC!!!
WELL DONE!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you
A labor of love! Once again you took something most people would have just thrown in the trash and made it beautiful again.
Thank you
What an absolutely beautiful restoration. That poor table needed a lot of TLC.
It's beautiful. It's so satisfying to see a sad damaged piece brought back to be beautiful again and live a new life.
Thank you Beverly
I love that you routinely disassemble the pieces you restore.
Thank you!
In the master's hands, what is broken becomes whole. What is old becomes new. You have an amazing talent, my friend.
Wow. I love this
Holy cannoli! That was some thick layers of paint to scrape off. It looks so nice now. Well done. 👍🏼 Edit to add how nice it was that the seller disclosed the need to let you see the table before committing.
Hahaha. You caught that. It made me laugh
Oh boy! You hit the jackpot on that veneer, the word grain is stunning!!
Thank you

I wasn't concerned at all that you could bring this table back to beautiful, Barry!! Gorgeous
Thank you Lori
WOW Barry, that turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You NEED to read a book for one of your videos. Your narration is so soothing 🛌😴💤
Haha. What book?
@@MadCityModern you could read the dictionary and I would be happy 😁
As always, you told a story and treated this poor table with greater respect than it had received in its previous life.
Well said. 🤍
Thank you!!!
Another beautiful job Barry with your signature high end finish. Stay safe.
Thank you
You went from nurse to surgeon. Your dedication to a project is impeccable. This explains your patience, and I have often thought that you remind me of a nurse.
Wow! Thank you so much
The table was worth the extra money for the Viners, it came out stunning. Great job Barry 💜
I agree!
Wow! The surfboard coffee table looks amazing!
As always, you pick the best finish to bring out the best in the wood. We’ll done!
Thank you Joe!
When the painters claim the piece was "too far gone" I always call BS. This is proof that nothing is too far gone. Nice save!
Thank you Mike!
I bet the weight of the table went down by half when you stopped off the paint! Another beauty with an uplifting message, too. Thanks Barry. You bring a bright spot to every day that you share content with us.
Haha. Yes it did
Hard to believe that’s the same piece! Well done! Another lovely piece rescued 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Thank you Janet
If you put half the care into your patients as you do your restorations, I’d be happy to have have you watching over me in the hospital or setting your in. Amazing work and what an inspiration.
I can hear my mother’s voice just now. “Get your feet off the table.” 😊 nice job, looks really nice.
Haha. Yes!

Beautifully done Barry
Thank you Marcia
Watching the wood grain coming alive under the stain had to be satisfying. This is so beautiful.
Gosh, what kind of hell had this poor table been through. It's definitely got It's dignity back now.
I wondered how it could have received that much abuse

Great feedback!
Barry you really downplay your abilities. The finished table is beautiful! Even if you haven’t been doing this very long you are very skilled.
Thank you!
I was glad to see you add a tad bit of water to the wood filler. I've done that many times but wasn't sure it was a good thing to do. The table is a beauty.
Yes. I love adding a little water
Looks amazing. The veneer was a great purchase for this.
Thank you
Pretty sure you are one of the sweetest people on Earth. I'm a happy subscriber and I hope you are having an amazing week!

KAWABUNGA ! 😁
Excellent feedback!
I admire your patience. Another great save !
What an undertaking, but the results are stunning. This is the first time I’ve seen this design and it looks just beautiful.
Thank you Edna

Removing that paint was like opening up a can of worms 😅 loved the new veneer you added on the top👌🏾!
Yes!
Removing that veneer was like peeling an onion - but worth it. A transformation!
Is it weird that this was the most satisfying part for me 😁
Not at all. I got immense satisfaction from picking my teenage brother's spots many years ago. Nowadays I pick litter in the local woods. It's turning wrong into right. 🙂
From trash to treasure. Beautifully restored xxx
Thank you Lyndsey
That was pretty amazing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Love the ending. 😂
Thank you
Best trick reveal!!
Thank you Julie
Love your music choice when you started applying the wax to the top. 😊
Thank you Robyn
