Oh my gosh Barry. I literally jumped off the couch and screamed. Scared my husband 🥴. I thought I might have noticed at least one of the sewing machine drawers I sent but wasn’t sure until I saw that you actually engraved I little piece of wood with my name on it 🥹and put it inside the drawer. What an honor. You are thee best story teller and a wonderful craftsman. I bet your dad is so proud. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for all that is involved with posting this great content. 🇺🇸❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Had just come from a funeral. Great guy who had a successful operation after living with great pain on his spine, but got infected,killed him in days. Found he had been a boy scout leader,helping many who had needed a father figure, while losing his own Dad as an infant. Then had two sons who spoke for his meaningful life. What I am saying is that what you do is like this healing man. Using bits from all over to make something real and useful and lovingly. We all heal things differently. Thank you for making my day pull together. Pennsylvania,( Penn's Woods)
This video made me lose all sense of time and place. I was absolutely captivated by it. Great job on the furniture creation, the narration and video quality. Wow!!!!
I love that you documented the original pieces that "donated" parts toward creation of a new and functional cabinet with a long life ahead of it. Love your channel. (Please, everyone, consider becoming a blood and organ donor to help others to live longer, healthier lives.)
I donated blood for many years until I told the Red Cross that I felt dizzy on my way home. So that put the kybosh on that! So now I have registered to donate my body to the medicine dept of the Melbourne University when I go. Hubby’s not too keen on it, but none-the-less it’s organised! Or, if the organs are any good (I’m 71 now) they can divvy them up as required! I’ll be dead, after all! I just want to help someone who needs help!
When the say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, they sure had you in mind. I love that you kept the history of each piece and then put your mark on it. Your vlogs are a shear joy to watch and I always look forward to the next one.
Barry! I love the maker's mark on top, I love that you labeled the furniture pieces, I love that you put your own little story on the piece. One day, 150 years from now, someone will find this on the curb, take it home to restore, and find you there. It'll be like a little kinship, and you will go on. BTW, the piece turned out beautifully.
Spending time with your father is really important, I lost my father in 2004 and to this day I miss him so much. He was strict when us kids were growing up, he knew what he wanted after World War II and went into business himself and grew that business and passed it on to us kids. Now his kids are all retired and no parents around and I’d give anything to have those days back.
That turned out fantastic, Barry! Using the sewing machine base, combined with the sewing machine drawers, really tied it all together wonderfully! You have more creativity than you give yourself credit. You're able to see the possibilities of the pieces you have, then make it happen. Putting lables on each piece, to distinguish where each one originated, was a great touch, too! Each piece still has its own story, yet they all came together as one story that will continue. Splendid job!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very creative visioning to reuse and repurpose that dresser which most would have put in a burn pile. Using the ‘Lane’ label on the top, as well as labeling where other pieces had originated nicely highlighted the diverse history behind the piece,creating its own story in the process. I have used the old iron sewing machine treadles myself on a couple of occasions for table bases, which I resold. The finished piece I view almost as folk art. Great work!!
I love what you’ve done with all these pieces and I think you’ve sold yourself a little short here. To make a useable and practical cabinet from all those bits and pieces, and for it to look attractive, as it indeed does, is no picnic in the park. It takes a lot of time and skill. I love that you have respected each piece, dating and mentioning their origin. That is what makes you so special Barry, your respect and passion for even the dreariest piece of furniture. Someone made it at one time, worked to create it, and you have saved that memory. Well done on your creation and thank you for your channel, long may it continue. I look forward to the next chapter of your story Barry xxxx
It's a wonderful piece! Your creativity hits it out of the park again! Well done! You made me smile when you opened the drawer with the baby food jars with hardware in them. My grandfather had a workshop in his basement, and in one of the overhead beams in that workshop, he had nailed the baby food jar tops into it, than used them to store his nails, screws, little bits & pieces, & screwed the jars into the tops, storing them overhead, but always in reach. As a child I was fascinated by his storage system. It's a happy memory for me. Thank you!
That Lane table top was manufactured on my birthday, although five years early! The finished product is really a work of art, Barry. The years you've spent rebuilding and restoring old furniture have given you the understanding of how it all works.
I love this, it's so special! All the different pieces from all those different provenances make such a nice, unique cabinet. Kind of like a group of ecclectic people that would meet and work together, and become so harmonized they'd accomplish anything. Diversity and harmony. Very cool.
I learned to sew on my auntie's singer treadle and she gave it to me.... I used it for years and made many outfits for myself and relatives. The best machine to learn on, you can go as slowly as needed although eventually I could pedal like the wind!!!
Barry: this fabulous creative piece of furniture that you designed is a masterpiece. Outstanding! Being an interior designer and actually having the same Singer Sewing base sitting in my living room as a console table, was quite a delightful experience for me. The sewing machine was my Mother’s first machine. (I have a 48” w, 3/4” glass sitting on top of the base.) It has served me well over the years. This was a wonderful video showing the viewers how, and why recycling can be and should be done. Just brilliant! Carol from California
Amazing Barry. For not having an imagination this cabinet turned out beautiful. It is a joy to watch and listen to you. That cabinet is like our lives all the different experiences make us who we are today. Have a great day
I am crazy about this piece, Barry. You brought all those disparate parts and bits together so smoothly, and I am shocked at how you managed that. Fantastic work. I hope you are feeling well.
Oh MY! I am so impressed on what you created. Never under estimate yourself. You built a thing of beauty from a bunch of scrap parts. It is so inspiring. Incredible job Barry!!
You are in my opinion (and many others) the best woodworker on UA-cam. The passion, care, hard work, no cutting corners, humbleness and joy in the video’s is telling. Hats off to you sir. Great video and beautiful work! ❤
So many unwanted and unloved items used here. Which I think is fantastic! We tend to throw away far too much nowadays. I love the results too. Thank you for saving so much wood. 💖
That is the coolest storage cabinet with a great history! ( am a lover of old petal sewing machines as I learned on one….and still have it! Was in our house from as young as I can remember and I am now 64 yrs old! One drawer is from a different sewing machine! Great memories. )
Hi Barry 👋😊 I read through the comments forst and realised I really can't say anything even close to being as good as others have so I will just say you are more than a 'furniture restorer' you are an artist in words and vision you created something amazing that will last beyond our lifetime's be proud 😊
Beautiful work.. I watch every video you put out. I learn many new tricks. I also rewatch your videos if I'm having a bad day as your voice is soothing and calming.. thank for all you do ❤
What do you do with a cabinet that is impossible to restore to its original condition? You Frankenstein it into an amazing, unique, one of a kind piece! I can't wait to see what you do with the companion piece.
What a wonderful video of your creativity and consideration of all things old. Love this cabinet and loved watching you construct it--just excellent in all ways.
Barry, as I'm watching you build/restore, my eyes kept spotting items in the background. It seems you have an affinity for pieces that have multiple drawers; so it is no wonder you've chosen to create this apothecary cabinet! Great work of art as always! 😊
With how much lumber is, using any pieces left from solid wooden furniture is just good thinking, imo. Love how you used the sewing machine stand, makes it even cooler❤❤😊😊
Very cool outcome, Barry. Please don't ever underestimate yourself. You have grown leaps and bounds since the early days on here, and continue to grow every project. You are not afraid to do different things. As always, your heart comes shining through. 😊
This is soooo cool! I am seeing ways to utilize a number of pieces of furniture! Especially some of the old sewing machines and cabinets! Thank you,Barry!
Omg! I just love it! I collect treadle sewing machines. I do love how you used the treadle irons & treadle drawers! Congratulations my friend! It's PERFECTION!❤❤🎉🎉
WOWZERS Barry, you have out done yourself again, with this wonderful piece. To have recycled bits and bobs from other pieces and then turn it into a wonderful creation, is truly marvelous. WELL DONE! Blessings from Angela of Australia.
I have my great-grandmother’s treadle sewing machine & it is one of my most favorite pieces in my home ❤ I think the box you made is totally cool Barry & will be a beautiful home for all the magical bits & bobs of any shop, craft room, or other space it holds!
Congratulations Barry on another incredible creation. I loved the colour and concept and would be proud to own it. Thank you for your stories and history lessons. I could listen to you talk for hours and can imagine you reading a book out loud. I also noticed that you are so close to 100,000 subscribers and receiving your silver plaque. It won’t be long now. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the sewing machine. Take care and best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺.
While watching the video I kept thinking "what will he come up with???" and then here it is, another jewel that tells us all about your love and passion for what you do!!! Amazing job, Barry!!! PS to see my name in the video made me the happiest person ever! GRAZIE!!! 🙏
Frankenfurniture! Way to experiment and think outside the box! I know this kind of video is a lot of work, but the more you challenge yourself, the more confident you will be in your creativity! Keep up the great work!
Great fun project to watch, Barry! You kept the suspense going throughout, so I wasn't sure where the design was headed until the final reveal! Lovely to see all these pieces salvaged to make a new whole.
The way you blended the nod to Skillshare was perfect! I didn't fast forward...I watched, listened, and learned. Your channel is one of my favorite channels to watch. I do not work with wood. Clay is more forgiving, but I appreciate your skill and calm, gracious words. Thank you for the time and effort it takes to share this with us.
Now I’m envious! I’d love a piece like this to store all the items I keep accumulating for my various crafts. The creativity that has gone into using things that you’ve saved over time, knowing that “it’ll come in handy later,” is a lesson in appreciation of all the bits and pieces that make up our lives.
Having a love of old sewing machines, I spotted the drawers right away and hoped that you would be including those in your build. I love this piece for it’s sewing references! Your design choices were perfect. Thank you for sharing your journey and your passion. ♥️👍
My goodness Barry I thought well, he's gone over the edge with this one.Of course I was completely wrong. It's a true work of art! What a wonderful piece that I would love to have in my living room. Well done as usual my friend.
You inspire me with each new video! I'm not just saying that just to say it. Honestly, every time I watch one of your videos I'm inspired to be better, and do better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Ficou simplesmente maravilhoso. Adorei a mistura das gavetas e o uso do "pé da máquina de costura". Sua criatividade e capricho sempre são surpreendentes. Parabéns.
Oh, another beautiful Frankenstein! How nice! I love these unique creations. Congratulations! You inspire me, I have four sewing machine drawers and I think I will end up making something similar.
That turned out a lot better than i thought it would. You have to let slip every now and again because its your hobby and cant always be about the customer.
Yes Barry, by all means ... please spend time with your dad. For all of those out here, who no longer can. This was a great be it quirky project. I can even see another custom ornate box to hold your assorted woodworking books mounted to the foot peddle of the treadle.
Well. You said it would stay in your shop a long time and would make you smile. You made me smile seeing the finished work. You had a vision of what you wanted this to be (I, of course, couldn't picture it). Thank You for sharing your vision in finished form. You are a constant in my UA-cam line up and hope you stay that way - a long time. Just an aside: your subscribers have really, REALLY! grown. Congratulations!
This was a lovely video to watch on 10-28-2024. You are on the verge of your first 100K subscribers. May you continue to grow in all aspects. Thank for a wonderful story and a beautiful piece of furniture.
Fascinating! This opens up a whole new realm for repurposing furniture. I quite like your Singer storage cabinet with the treadle bottom! Did you fix the treadle so it wouldn't move or is it still "treadable"?

Thank you so much! Was hoping you would see that. I knew I would use some of these parts eventually
That is so amazing!
What a great guy!
Fabulous!!!
Oh how wonderful!
Barry, please never underestimate yourself. Great work.!👍🏼❤️
Thank you so much, it means a lot!

Beautiful comparison and understanding of what both men accomplish and so willingly give to others.
I'm sure Barry is very grateful for your comment from the heart.
A beautiful array of adopted children of different ages, colors and origins to blend into a perfect family portrait!!
What a great analogy...😊😊
What a beautiful way to say it! Thank you.
While I don’t like the end result, the craftsmanship was spectacular! Thank you.
Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing this with us.😮
I appreciate that you enjoyed it!
With the cost of wood, any solid wood furniture should get a chance at a second life in some way. This was very cool.
I couldn’t agree more
Well said.
This video made me lose all sense of time and place. I was absolutely captivated by it. Great job on the furniture creation, the narration and video quality. Wow!!!!
Thank you so much, this is the best compliment!
I love that you documented the original pieces that "donated" parts toward creation of a new and functional cabinet with a long life ahead of it. Love your channel. (Please, everyone, consider becoming a blood and organ donor to help others to live longer, healthier lives.)

Wow man. You are a master creator or perhaps re-creator. That was an amazing transformation. Give yourself a good pat on the back. I just subscribed.
When the say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, they sure had you in mind. I love that you kept the history of each piece and then put your mark on it. Your vlogs are a shear joy to watch and I always look forward to the next one.
Beautiful! I am a fan of reusing whatever I find in the trash. ❤ thanks to you.
Thank you! I am so glad you liked it.
I'm totally blown away with the reconstruction of the deconstructed chest of drawers. I like the story telling labels. Nice work Barry.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Haha beautiful "scrappy quilt" mixing vintage and modern materials!
It was fun to mix those elements!
Barry! I love the maker's mark on top, I love that you labeled the furniture pieces, I love that you put your own little story on the piece. One day, 150 years from now, someone will find this on the curb, take it home to restore, and find you there. It'll be like a little kinship, and you will go on. BTW, the piece turned out beautifully.
That is such a great thought!
So true!!
Franken cabinet in honor of Halloween. You should do this every October.
Thank you
I love that phrase….Frankencabinet! Very bespoke and clever
Spending time with your father is really important, I lost my father in 2004 and to this day I miss him so much. He was strict when us kids were growing up, he knew what he wanted after World War II and went into business himself and grew that business and passed it on to us kids.

Thanks! It was a fun one to do.
I love this Frankentable! It would fit nicely into my home!!!
Thanks for watching!
Barry, way cool work. You continue to evolve as an artist and a person.
Thank you 😊
That was absolutely stunning. The color and hardware choice was spot-on!!
You are so talented!! You are a true inspiration. Thanks for a wonderful video
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

I had so much fun creating this one.
Perfect for your workspace and will make you smile every time you see it.
Inspiring me to get out in my shop and put that old dresser back together that I started repairing a while back. Thanks, Barry!
That's awesome, I'm glad I could inspire you!

The finished cabinet is lovely. It made me cry.

I hope you are feeling well.
Oh MY! I am so impressed on what you created. Never under estimate yourself. You built a thing of beauty from a bunch of scrap parts. It is so inspiring. Incredible job Barry!!
This inspired me for upcoming projects reusing the old entertainment center that currently houses my 29 gallon aquarium. 3:36
You are in my opinion (and many others) the best woodworker on UA-cam. The passion, care, hard work, no cutting corners, humbleness and joy in the video’s is telling. Hats off to you sir. Great video and beautiful work! ❤
Very nice Barry, can't wait the next project!
Thank you

Wow, thank you
Beautiful work..
I watch every video you put out. I learn many new tricks.
I also rewatch your videos if I'm having a bad day as your voice is soothing and calming.. thank for all you do ❤
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you find my videos helpful and soothing!
You've taken various pieces of cast-off bits and gave them purpose again❤
Thank you so much, I really enjoyed bringing this piece back to life.
What do you do with a cabinet that is impossible to restore to its original condition? You Frankenstein it into an amazing, unique, one of a kind piece! I can't wait to see what you do with the companion piece.
Thank you
You made a wonderful and prettiest "Frankenstein" that I have ever saw. Lovely work! ❤
I’m so glad you like it!
What a wonderful video of your creativity and consideration of all things old. Love this cabinet and loved watching you construct it--just excellent in all ways.
Barry, as I'm watching you build/restore, my eyes kept spotting items in the background. It seems you have an affinity for pieces that have multiple drawers; so it is no wonder you've chosen to create this apothecary cabinet! Great work of art as always! 😊
I appreciate that you noticed my collection!
With how much lumber is, using any pieces left from solid wooden furniture is just good thinking, imo. Love how you used the sewing machine stand, makes it even cooler❤❤😊😊
Thank you so much
This renovation is very chop chop here and there. Your love of this restoration is very clear and interesting to listen to
Thank you
Very cool outcome, Barry. Please don't ever underestimate yourself. You have grown leaps and bounds since the early days on here, and continue to grow every project. You are not afraid to do different things. As always, your heart comes shining through. 😊
Remarkable.... A labor of love to be treasured as part of your journey in life❤
This is soooo cool! I am seeing ways to utilize a number of pieces of furniture! Especially some of the old sewing machines and cabinets! Thank you,Barry!

Stunningly gorgeous
Thank you!
That was seriously cool and looked creative and fun to do
Thank you 😊
I have my great-grandmother’s treadle sewing machine & it is one of my most favorite pieces in my home ❤ I think the box you made is totally cool Barry & will be a beautiful home for all the magical bits & bobs of any shop, craft room, or other space it holds!
Thank you so much, I love treadle sewing machines too!
I LOVE it when you do projects like these! They show your talents very well! Thank you!!❤

It might not be how you pictured it in your head, but it turned out amazing! What a beautiful piece!!
Your appreciation of the old and talent to make something new always amaze me. This piece is just so amazing!
While watching the video I kept thinking "what will he come up with???" and then here it is, another jewel that tells us all about your love and passion for what you do!!! Amazing job, Barry!!! PS to see my name in the video made me the happiest person ever! GRAZIE!!! 🙏
Ayyy!!! Te ha quedado precioso. Congratulations from Madrid, Spain.
Frankenfurniture! Way to experiment and think outside the box! I know this kind of video is a lot of work, but the more you challenge yourself, the more confident you will be in your creativity! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much 😊
Very beautiful and very creative! 👍👍 I love watching your videos, they are soothing! Big thanks, from Sweden! 🙂👍🇸🇪
Thanks so much 😊
You just made me all sentimental. I felt like I was back in my late father's shed, watching him create something beautiful out of junk!! Thank you ❤
Great fun project to watch, Barry! You kept the suspense going throughout, so I wasn't sure where the design was headed until the final reveal! Lovely to see all these pieces salvaged to make a new whole.
What a great way to re-purpose "garbage". With the high cost of everything anything that can be salvage should be salvaged.
Excellent!...a 'Cabinet for Curiosities' indeed, as well as tools of your trade...thank you Barry-boy...dgp/uk
Glad you enjoyed it
👍🏼 wonderful. Barry, your work is so refreshing and inspiring. Love watching .❤️
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.
The way you blended the nod to Skillshare was perfect! I didn't fast forward...I watched, listened, and learned. Your channel is one of my favorite channels to watch. I do not work with wood. Clay is more forgiving, but I appreciate your skill and calm, gracious words. Thank you for the time and effort it takes to share this with us.
A wonderful build. I love watching people take items that are discarded and make something gorgeous and useful.

The creativity that has gone into using things that you’ve saved over time, knowing that “it’ll come in handy later,” is a lesson in appreciation of all the bits and pieces that make up our lives.

I appreciate it!
Ficou simplesmente maravilhoso. Adorei a mistura das gavetas e o uso do "pé da máquina de costura". Sua criatividade e capricho sempre são surpreendentes. Parabéns.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Oh, another beautiful Frankenstein! How nice! I love these unique creations. Congratulations! You inspire me, I have four sewing machine drawers and I think I will end up making something similar.
I think this is my favorite project of yours! The more you took away, the more puzzled I became. But it all came together beautifully and I adore it.
This turned out beautifully!!
Thank you
That turned out a lot better than i thought it would. You have to let slip every now and again because its your hobby and cant always be about the customer.
What a lovely quirky piece of furniture!
Thank you
I LOVE that you used the Lane table top with the manufacturing label facing out! Goosebumps!!!
Yes Barry, by all means ... please spend time with your dad. For all of those out here, who no longer can. This was a great be it quirky project. I can even see another custom ornate box to hold your assorted woodworking books mounted to the foot peddle of the treadle.
I appreciate the kind words! And I’m so glad you enjoyed the build.
Barry you are by no means a beginner. That cabinet is simply stunning! A true one-of-a-kind masterpiece!
I appreciate that, thank you!
Wow!! Turned out beautifully 😍
I’m so glad you like it!
I must admit I was very skeptical of the mix and match woods and drawers but it looks absolutely beautiful
Thank you
I think the piece turned out really cool, I like it..❤
Well. You said it would stay in your shop a long time and would make you smile. You made me smile seeing the finished work. You had a vision of what you wanted this to be (I, of course, couldn't picture it). Thank You for sharing your vision in finished form. You are a constant in my UA-cam line up and hope you stay that way - a long time. Just an aside: your subscribers have really, REALLY! grown. Congratulations!
This was a lovely video to watch on 10-28-2024. You are on the verge of your first 100K subscribers. May you continue to grow in all aspects. Thank for a wonderful story and a beautiful piece of furniture.
Fascinating! This opens up a whole new realm for repurposing furniture. I quite like your Singer storage cabinet with the treadle bottom! Did you fix the treadle so it wouldn't move or is it still "treadable"?
Thank you 😊
Absolutely stellar! Love it
I’m so glad you liked it!
Amazing! I love that you reused old pieces to put in a new one!
