Yes, I know I spelled Mohogany wrong inside the drawer. I guess I did it right for the rest of the video but mistakes happen. When I mention that I have never done something before, I am not looking for pity or a break for my mistakes along the way. I just hope that by sharing some of my work, you may be encouraged to take on a new project. I always appreciate all of your support. Thank you for your kindness. Barry
Who cares as long as you enjoy what you do, and besides no one is perfect. I'm going to volunteer to be one of your kids. That is a beautiful and beautifully made cabinet.
@@cherylcarnes4207 You're gonna need a mother. I'm throwing my name in the hat . . .
Beautiful cabinet, for future reference, you can buy glass pliers, and hold the other side of the glass after cutting, and tap on the pliers to break. A clean cut, also can help to cut both sides of the glass first. Don't feel bad, I only know from helping my mom with strained glass, for years. Don't be so hard on yourself, it's a beautiful piece. ❤
No, Barry. What you do is marvelous and amazing!!! I give 2 junks about nothing if you have an inconsequential error. Nit-pickers can go play by themselves. I did my best with language here. It was difficult!!! 😂
@2Cambell
After I first got into working with wood, I started making small gifts for family/friends. I have 1 family member who likes to point out every flaw they can find. A few years go by and they ask me how come I've never made them anything...I said Because I wouldn't burden you with such subpar workmanship. You deserve much finer things.
Oh Barry, how can you say it’s far from perfect? It is completely perfect. One day, in years to come, your children will look at it and say, “our father made that with pieces given to him from our grandfather”. They will love it and treasure it because you made it with such love, care and passion. To them it will be a most wondrous and perfect piece, believe me. They are so lucky to have something created by such a special man. I absolutely love it. ❤
Definitely)))
It's perfect
I also agree! The glass work is super.
Perfectly stated!💕
It’s beautiful!
Can confirm. I have 2 book cases that my grandfather made. Nothing fancy but they are cherished.
I have to say that I’m glad you don’t have all the fancy tools. Nearly every similar channel I watch has gone over to all the expensive, high-tech tools. I think I’m a pretty typical watcher. I’m interested, I don’t have the space or the means for much woodworking or rehab, but I love watching others make wonderful things. Thank you for staying humble and low-tech. It makes me really look forward to your episodes.
I appreciate that!
@catherine… exactly why I was thinking, said perfectly. Thx!

@@MadCityModern
Yes, I for one would watch a so called high tech woodworking video now and again but based on watching them, I would not tackle a project. I would feel so inexperienced and way out of my league with all of the new gadget$ and just not attempt to even try. While I consider the laser thingy you use as high tech, others wouldn't. I can't even seem to get my PC printer to work for more than 10 pages.
(Yes, I have fresh ink)
So, I tend to subscribe and view YT channels that motivate me to learn something that makes sense to me.
Peace be with you.
I completely agree.
This is the first time I have seen your channel! I am surely impressed with your workmanship! I am a 74 year old widow whose husband died last year. He was not a woodworker, but a car body repairman. We lacked just six weeks celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. He worked with metal, like you do with wood. He was a perfectionist when it came to his job! I’ve watched in awe many times as he turned wrecked cars back into beautiful machines! Watching you today brought back many memories! I hope that your channel will continue to inspire me. I look forward to seeing what else you do. As you used your hands to lovingly make this gorgeous cabinet, I couldn’t help but think of Bill and how proud I was of him. I know your family will treasure this piece for years to come! My best to you and I pray you have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing your skills!
The "To My Children" engraving made me emotional haha. I watch videos like these every night to help with my insomnia. I've never been so genuinely moved by one of them. Peace and blessings to you and all of your children!
I choked up as well. Made me think of the song, "Morningside", by Neil Diamond.
My dog thought I had lost my mind because I got notified of this video and jumped up and said, "Oh GOOD! A new Mad City Modern!" and dashed off to my computer to watch! He is sitting here with me now. I just love that you took so much care with old, discarded pieces and made something wonderful! I love the wood grain on the drawer your father gave you. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you enjoy it!
Well, my dog felt my excitement too:) as I was watching and I'm all the way in Tirana, Albania, full of wonder! Great project & execution, amazed - i.
OMGosh! I love it not only because it's beautiful but, first, I'm a compulsive organizer, and second, apothecary chests remind me of card catalogs and I LOVE card catalogs. My dad enjoyed a little woodworking. He also saved every nut, screw, bolt, nail, and washer he ever came across all organized and labeled in baby food jars. All the neighbors knew where to go to get any specific thing they needed, easy-peasy and free for the taking. One of the reason I enjoy your videos is that sometimes I get a little reminder of Dad. (He's where I inherited my organizing impulses.) 😊
Same here. I inherited a garage if tools. Old BIG lathes, band saws, table saw, routers, drill press all the way down to my great, great grandfathers tools. I think one of my favorite is just the planer. An old Stanley hand planer. All the hand saws and hand drills. And yes! 4- 5 gallon buckets of nuts and bolts! I actually went through and cleaned them up and organized them. I use pill bottles for small amounts. He had built a cart with 12 drawers and each drawer has deciders in them. That is where most my nuts and bolts fit into. Sure do miss my Dad!
@@shericreates
@skaranasos I understand this right down to the Stanley hand planer.
You made something cohesive out of unrelated parts. What a joy you must feel having incorporated pieces from your family's woodworking heritage.
My dad taught himself how to work with wood. He made a dresser for me when I was in junior high just a few years before he died at the age of 49. I have other pieces he built also. It means so much to have furniture that was built by my father. Your children will treasure what you have made and it will be perfect in their eyes. Please keep creating.
I so admire people who go ahead and do things, even though they don’t feel like their skills are 1st rate. I enjoyed this so much, your skills are amazing to me, especially your filmmaking skills! And I love the cabinet!
Well, Barry this cabinet sure looks perfect to me. My uncle used to build things using the not fancy tools. Personally, I prefer that above the new way. In my opinion you saved some historical wood and used your amazing talents! You never cease to leave us wowed! Thank you Barry for sharing with us your awesome talent with us an the story behind your thoughts! Gorgeous job! 😊❤
The tranquility of the music, the ease of your movements and the final result are quite mesmerizing. And the piece is so well utilized. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I adore seeing components of past pieces, reimagined into something new. This is lovely
I do, too. It warms my heart.
You did a fantastic job from a pile of trash to a work of art that give your children something beautiful to remember you by.
It’s perfect! Lovely and useful, you don’t get better than that. And the best thing about it was the note to your children, and that your father gave you one of the drawers. It’s an heirloom now.❤️🤗🐝
I'm sure I'm far from the only one who watched this video and cried at the end. Happy tears for the beautiful piece you were able to create from the "trash,"with your family tools. And sad tears for the memories it pulled from my heart. In 1967 a fire raged through our ranch. The house was spared, but many out buildings were destroyed. Among those buildings was an old tool shed. I have many fond memories of building "stuff" in that shed. Tinkering and creating. My grandfather had a tool chest in there full of beautiful old tools we weren't allowed to use. I often opened it and admired them, dreaming of day I would be allowed to use them. I can go there still, and while they no longer exist, the memories sure do. You are being a goodcsteward for your family memories Barry. ❤️ And thanks for your channel. You do a great job.
This is so beautiful; I cried at the final reveal having missed the section where you placed your father's drawer. Your inscription to your children is so precious. Thank you for your vision.
Barry, what you do that's so unique from other restoration channels is you have heart, every project has a part of you and its because you don't use fancy tools or expensive special machines. Everything you do is by hand. 😊
Your grandfather and father I can imagine are very proud of you. You restore everything with love ❤
Very touching ~ your children very fortunate ~ so good to see your precise work ~
This apothecary chest you made is beautiful. I mean really beautiful. This is real craftsmanship. MadCityModern you ate an artist.
Thank you for sharing your passion for beautiful furniture on your channel… more importantly though, you somehow share kindness as well! Mentioning the legacy of your father and grandfather and then investing in your own legacy by the plaque etching/quote to your children! It brought tears to my eyes, and encouraged me to consider what my own legacy will be with my children. Blessings to all.
You remind me so much of my dad. Your creativity, skill, tools, the collection of vintage items you've found new purpose for, your hands and forearms, music selections, just everything. All of it brings memories and tears. I miss my dad! (My dad's surviving eldest brother (my uncle) resides in Sun Prairie. He was Professor of Music at Green Bay, retired.)
Your children will cherish this piece and all the others you've returned to glory. And such a wonderful tribute to your father and grandfather!
Thank you, Barry. ❤
You have such an affinity with family, memories, old things and wood and you bring them all together in this piece. Then you add another memory - kids, look what dad made. Well done.
I’m not sure why some of your videos are emotional to me 🥹 music, the pace of filming, I don’t know it’s just very nice to see life brought back to something that’s been discarded. This was a very handsome piece Barry. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Exactly the kind of thing that will mean something to your children when old enough to appreciate it. Wait till you get to build something together with them, it's a special kind of feeling. Thank you as always for the content, Barry!
You know, it doesn't have to be fancy to work or be special. This is your foray into cabinetry. One day you will look back at this piece and say it was a learning experience. It will still be special to you and it will still probably work too! I love watching the effort and love you put into it. I know you will will enjoy it for many years. ❤
This is special
I see the making of furniture as a labor of love. My father was a construction worker for most of my life and now he is beginning to become a carpenter. So beautiful to see pieces be given life and a purpose. 😭
Awesome. I’m 75 and love the chest you made from things your grandpa and dad gave you. What a loving tribute 👍🙏🏻💕
I was just thinking about your channel this morning and was wondering what the next upload would be. Didn't disappoint and glad to see you still restoring great pieces to their original beauty!
What an amazing artist you are.
This is beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much 😀
My sense is that this is a tribute to your dad and is very meaningful to you. It's beautiful.
I love all the vintage pieces of furniture you have repurposed for use in your shop. Older pieces are made so much better then stuff is nowadays that it’s wise to reuse them.
What a lovely little cabinet. I’m not a fan of ASMR but paired with the soundtrack you selected, it was very enjoyable and relaxing. You created a future heirloom from scraps and trashpicking and I think that’s wonderful. Thank you for a delightful video today, Barry.🌸
Once again you’ve succeeded in making a beautiful piece of furniture that’s worthy of your note to your future family. You are great!
Without a spoken word, once again your storytelling evokes emotions and nostalgia. The laser printing adds finesse.
The final look is so unbelievably beautiful! I loved hearing that many of your tools are from your father and grandfather. Seeing the photos and you honoring your heritage was heartwarming. ❤
Watching for a third time, even without speaking, you tell a story of creativity and family history. You always have the best background music too! I really admired the finished piece and what a story it will have to tell. You creatively adapt pieces into a new piece, which is how families often re used what they had to repurpose for what they needed. You never disappoint!! Thank you for sharing this project and process.
Barry: most impressed with your creative ability. Taking pieces from different wood pieces and creating something beautiful is special. The cabinet is fabulous looking. Your workshop is so exciting to look at while I watch you create. Just simply love it all. Carol from California
When you said you would use your father's and grandfather's tools made me teary eyed. I love that so much!❤❤❤
😊😮 a wonderful creation being brought to life, in front of my eyes. Wow. I am impressed, and think I may try something like this, when I retire 😊
3 young daughters, leave me so little me time.
I guess a labor of love doesn't go without blood though... I was concerned about your hand placement with that nailgun, ouch, you ok? 😮
❤This was a different kind of build; I liked it. 😊
Didn't feel good 🤣
You are fast becoming a woodworker. Care and precision are required and you have those qualities. You are working at a good pace, not to win a race to produce, but to create quality. Carry on. Your videos are excellent and informative. Thanks.
Your father and grandfather would be so proud of you, a beautiful piece of work. ❤
Stunningly beautiful. The inscription to the kids is perfect. We need more of this in this world.
You are so kind
High class project. Love it!
Your bravery and diligence is so inspiring ! I often think: oh I can’t do this, but it’s through videos like yours I tried some things anyway. And ( might have mentioned before) I gained a deeper love and appreciation for natural and stained wood…❤
Thank you so much!
I salute you for the chances you took to take some miscellaneous pieces and make something beautiful out of them. So what if you don’t have all the tools you would like to have. That’s what sparks creativity. Knowing how to use simple tools such as a plane will add to your furniture adventures for years to come.
Loved this video. Was very satisfying, and says a lot about you. You are a creator with a kind soul.
Your beard is getting really sexy!
nice work ....But by your own description you made a small wooden tool cabinet chap not an "apothecary cabinet" that stores natural medicens made from plant .... not chisels, planes, book and old photos.
It's "medicines"
Barry…this piece is gorgeous and utilitarian. It is perfect. Showed my husband the finish result and he said “it is beautifully made, is it an antique?” He saves pieces of lumber as well but planes down wood to make furniture, does not refinish. But can appreciate the recycling.
Nature is not perfect. We accept her beauty with all its various flaws and we count it enough just to be in her presence. Your children will be forever blessed to be surrounded not only by the beauty you have restored and created but by the love with which you will forever surround them. Your cabinet is perfect and your talent beyond measure. Grateful are we who are encouraged and inspired by you 💙💙💙
Well said!
What a lovely precious box! Something for your children to cherise! 😊
You totally remind me of my Dad when he was young. The pride you take in your work and your shop is evident. I can tell you find Beauty and joy in the process as well as the end piece. Also you’re very good at telling a story in your video! (Without speaking!).
I followed Dashner Design since he started, and followed Thomas Johnson even longer, and I add you to their family. You work like they did, in quiet, thoughtful peace. You music selections backing up the shop sound are like being in your peace filled head/heart as you thought this through. I guess that’s what made it so emotional at the end when you revealed the engraved tribute. 100% artistic from inception to reveal. Your family, your treasure. ❤
I think this is awesome!
I'm a beginner carpenter and am teaching myself from scratch.
All the other carpentry channels I've seen have are run by people whose skills are way beyond mine, and sometimes it's a bit disheartening, wondering if I'll ever really get the hang of it, let alone get to where they are.
But you're not so far ahead that I can't even see you - but you also you have the skills to make nice-looking, useful things, even if they're not perfectly polished.
It makes me feel like your level is an achievable goal, if I work at it!
I love the tools you use, and your skill using them. This was really nice to watch.
It’s just so very cool. Maybe not “perfect” but organically beautiful.
I love that you used discarded drawers and pieces of old furniture to make a new piece of furniture
YOUR BRAIN ONCE AGAIN HAS CREATED SOMETHING FROM BODY PARTS OF VINTAGE FURNITURE AND THEY ALL GO TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY AND THE STAGING COMPLETED THE PROJECT AMAZING
Thank you
I love using repurposed woods for longer life. Beautiful useful cabinet.
What a creative piece. It must be such an honor to take a piece from the past, made by a talented craftsman (most likely long gone) and give it new life for years to come.
😅Barry, once I was watching a video a few years back and the accomplished woodworker said if you pick up a piece of wood and do anything to it, you are a woodworker. He was trying to encourage anyone that you need to start somewhere. I am a mostly self taught wood worker and have made several pieces that I am proud of. I am encouraged by that woodworker to keep learning and enjoy the creativity of it all. You have far surpassed that premise of just picking any piece of wood up and had the greatest courage to put it on youtube. Alot of the high-end wood workers will say they did not start off with fancy equipment. They also just started with a piece of wood. A wonderful first project that is attractive and fully functional. Always so excited when the bell rings for Mad City Modern. Thank you so much .
Love this comment
What a beautiful heirloom to leave for your children ❤ Maybe one of them will follow in your footsteps and love the beauty of old wood.
I really think you underestimate your abilities. This apothecary case was perfection. I’m glad I found your channel.
Beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes due to the dedication to your children and your military flag.
This was an amazing video. It touched my heart. 🥹❤
Your craftsmanship is incredible! And what a beautiful piece you’ve created, to be passed down for generations. ❤
Seeing a man continue his father’s, and grandfather’s work…it is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent and artistry with the world.
I find I enjoy watching a youtube channel about woodworking with a man with featured chisels. The cabinet is beautiful.
I wish there were more people out there like you. My Dad had a wood shop in a 150-year-old barn that was built with wood pegs. He would pick up scrap wood from demolition sites and make pretty amazing things.
Looks perfect to me. I nearly cried when I read "to my children" ❤
Sir, for those who say they only have beginner's tools, you do a great job. I wish I had your talent... Wonderful work. Congratulations.
It looks wonderful. I wish I had it! What a great thing to pass down. I wish you made more videos! Your work is amazing!
You might have basic tools,but your skill and craftsmanship are definitely next level.
Добрый вечер Бари,я снова смотрю ваш новый для меня рллик и получаю массу удовольствия от просмотра.Вы великий труженник.Ваше мастерство ,это просто супер.Результат,как всегда восхитителен.Да,мне нравится очень музыка.❤
А результак ,как всегда шедевр.
Sometimes perfection includes beautiful, tiny imperfections imho. An artist is always so hard on his work. This was lovely to watch and beautiful end result. ☺️
Such a quqlity piece of furniture and one to be cherished forever.
Nicely designed and executed. I'd buy that. What a wonderful keepsake of course.
What you do is not just work, but art. You also contribute to preserving the resources of our planet. Thank you for the video!
Your children will love this as much as I am sure they love you.
Hi Barry, it’s beautiful. I like the glass etching. Nice touch. You put your heart and soul into everything you do. You love what you do. That’s why every piece you work on is beautiful. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
A beautiful result likely to survive and be enjoyed for many hundred years + more.
What a great build!
You say you refinish furniture, you are not a woodworker. Yet you just made a lovely, one of a kind cabinet out of broken furniture you found in the trash. The more you do, the more your skill set will grow. I love the piece!
This was fun! Instead of bring an old piece back to life, you made something new and useful from mismatched bits and bobs that many would have thrown away. I love it!
Even though you have mostly ‘entry level’ tools you will learn a lot by figuring out how to do what you want to do with the tools you have available! Often the best way to learn!
Love this
Wow!! Are either your Grandpa or Dad around to see this amazing piece of art?! If not, as a Mama, I want to tell you how beautiful this is and how proud I am that you made this!!! Your Gramps and Pops would be so proud as well ❤
I hope your children will appreciate what you made. Great job taking trash and making it into something useful!!
Amazing, so happy to see vintage wood and furniture being rescued, restored and reused.
Stumbled upon your video on a cold, dark, tired morning in Copenhagen. Your work reminds me so much of my Dad. And I have been looking for a new hobby for some time now. I just might take up wood work - at the ripe old age of 56. Thank for the inspiration.
Oh my, that is amazing. So beautiful! I love repurposed things.
To think of the old odds and ends used to put this together brings a tear to my eye. I guess that's my nostalgia in addition to my great appreciation of things handmade. It's absolutely wonderful, Barry. The "inscription" is such a heartfelt addition. Your future children will be very fortunate to have this little cabinet. 🤎
All of the different sizes of bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and tacks in the baby food jars is so accurate.
Beautiful! The result might not be perfect to your standards, but I would be hard pressed to find fault with any of it. A gorgeous piece you’ll enjoy using for years to come!
barely 5 minutes in and i can tell you put so much dedication into keeping your workshop organized and in working condition; mad respect to you and your family, please don’t ever give up on your passion, thank you for being on this planet 💕
thank you for noticing this
I love that it is made of entirely repurposed wood and following in family footsteps.
Magnificent! Your Dad would be proud! 🥲
Absolutely fantastic job you did there! That should be a family treasure for years to come. I have a table that my great-great-grandfather made from a fallen walnut tree from his front yard . Thanks for sharing you're really outdid yourself on this project❤
Wow, what a treasure!
Wow this is amazing! I never thought about making cabinets out of old pieces that are no longer in use. Beautiful work!
Oh my goodness! That cabinet is so stinkin cute!
While I love your musings , the stories you tell and the questions you ask. Todays video of silence and quiet was fantastic. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce something so reflective
It looks great. The best part is you will have a marker for your skills for years to come. The moment you look at it and say “that could be better” you will know you have improved 😊
