I am back! Thank you to everyone who has checked in over the last month. Hopefully you will understand after watching this video why I took a short break from RUclips. Can't wait to share more content with you soon! Barry
Love the dark finish. It may not be what you originally wanted but sometimes beauty comes from necessity. Regardless it now has the chance to be loved for many more years!
It's great to see you back, Barry! Your booth at the antique mall is fantastic! The chest of drawers turned out really good. If you want to really darken oak but still allow the grain to show, lye, (if you can find it), is a good way to do that. Of course, it needs to be diluted. Lye reacts with the tannins in oak, and it actually burns them. The longer it is left on the wood the darker the wood will get, but it still lets the grain of the wood show. You did a fantastic job on the piece! It is definitely MUCH BETTER than the way you found it! Looking forward to your next video! 👍
Потрясающие преображение комода. Великолепная работа.Черная морилка,это блестящая идея ,видна текстура дерева, это намного интересней,чем краска.Просто супер. Комод заиграл новыми красками. Очень стильно, красиво ❤❤❤❤❤
I always appreciate your reasoning for doing projects like this - to save these pieces from utter doom. And that you did. This dresser looks rather masculine and could work in a multitude of spaces - living room, dining area, entry, office, place of business, and yes, even a bedroom. Very nicely done as always, Barry.
I really like how it turned out. I’m fond of dark colors & the espresso shade is dark without being black. I would have hesitated to use a shade that dark. It’s so lovely I’m going to order that 4 a family piece I’m working on. I live how u are always so patient working on things.
what a pleasing feeling to see that woodgrain appearing under that horrible grey paint.....i used to find it very satisfying when I did anything like this, I wish I was fit enough to still be doing this.......baeautiful job ...I love it.
Wow, I think you did a beautiful job on this dresser. I know you said it isn’t your style but you would never know by how much love you put in it. I would buy it any day of the week! Lol
Came out nice! I would like to see your journey with opening the shop. Some inspiration for you: I rented the ugliest room in the town and opened My furniture shop! First day of my new furniture store! I gave 100 dollars to first client to buy something! :) Difficulties makes a good drama for videos.
I don’t know how or if anyone else has ever become “Unsubscribed” but I was from this channel. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting current or notifications. Boy is that maddening. I’ve resubscribed and we’re back in business. Hope not to miss anymore. This was a nice surprise with the finished piece. Beautiful
I would call that a huge success given the original condition. It looks great. The stain choice is perfect and adds some wonderful character to the piece while working well to hide all of the veneer issues you had. Great work!
Glad you’re back. It’s been ages since you did a update on your postcards and amazon wishlist. Maybe a short? I love seeing all the different postcards!
Wow! That looks super, yes it’s dark but lovely, in the right atmosphere with that hardware it will shine for many more years to come, well done for saving from the landfill
This turned out very differently than I'd supposed. But beautiful. Your workmanship, your mesmerizing voice! So glad I found you! I wish I could join your Patreon support, but alas, I'm crippled and trying to live on, not even regular SS, but Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid, which is impossible. So I cannot help you except with fervent admiration. So glad you came back
Wow! This was different with a great result!!! 👍 To watch this, as you said it was a practice piece, is reassuring in the way, that we have to practice and learn skills. 😉 Thank you!!!
So weird. I have your notifications on but didn't get it. I was just sitting here wondering why you haven't been around. Glad to see you back. I have the low boy dresser of this set. It belonged to my mother and unfortunately my daughter destroyed it. I salvaged as much as I could but my aunt wants to turn it into a workspace for her. So its alive and well but not in the original condition. Nice that you're back!
Good to see your video pop up, Barry! I love how this dresser came out. Sorry that I missed your Live though. Until next time, God bless you, Barry 💜❤💜❤💜
Glad to see you are back! Totally classy piece with nice hardware. Would love to see a close-up of the desk where you keep your sander- it looks so intriguing as to its design. You have a unique workshop filled with treasures!!!
Welcome back, I missed ya. You didn't seem happy with your choices of color this time but the dresser turned out beautifully. Glad you're back and looking forward to seeing your booth. Stay well and God bless you.
Even though you knew it couldn't be restored you made it as beautiful as you could. Cause you love furniture:) Love the new shop and wish you all the best :)

Hi Barry, where have you been??? I missed you!🤨
Well done. Welcome back !
I’m relieved your back, as I LOVE your videos, and appreciate the time it takes you to do them. Welcome back! ❤️
Yay! Missed your videos, but having your own vintage booth sounds so exciting, congratulations, 👏
Your own booth.. WOW!
Still glad to have you back though. Good luck with your booth. ❤
Somewhere on RUclips, there's probably a video of someone showing the process of scuff-sanding and painting that very piece.
This one made me laugh
I have to say, for a project that didn't go exactly as planned, you sure ended up with a sharp-looking result! Very nice!
Just watching your work and listening to the tone of your voice has saved me so much money on therapy. I feel so zenn.😊😊
Wow!
This black finish is very popular in some markets. You did well with what you had to work with. You ALWAYS give it your best.
To finish previous comment, as an 80 year young woman,,I really enjoy seeing someone young doing this worthwhile task.
Your booth looks like decor heaven to me. The dresser has been saved even if not in the finish you had envisioned, and it lives again.😄
Thank you so much
And will live on for many more years to come.
Your booth has some beautiful pieces.... love the orange sofa!!!
So glad you used the original hardware
Me too
Love the dark finish. It may not be what you originally wanted but sometimes beauty comes from necessity. Regardless it now has the chance to be loved for many more years!
amazing, looks a thousand times better than it originally did.
Thank you Joyce
Glad to see you back my friend😉 very elegant result 👌
Thank you! Cheers!

I think it really turned out well. You should be proud.
Thank you Neil
I love that you are constantly trying new techniques and stress learning! We all need to stretch and grow in life!
This piece with the dark stain turned out to be quite a classy piece. Excellent job on the finishing!
Oh, and glad to have you back on line!!
Thank you Richard
Absolutely beautiful. Well done
Your restoration work is as usual exceptional! You also do an amazing job with camera angles, editing, and voiceover! Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽
Thank you so much 😀
Glad to see you back. You’ve been missed.

The espresso finish looks very classy. Baby dresser, all grown up.
That turned out great Barry. Glad you’re back. Have missed you and your videos.
Your booth looks great; one of the best I've ever seen!
I absolutely love the dark stain color on this dresser! It is beautiful!

Thank you Marvin
Wow, I think you did a beautiful job on this dresser. I know you said it isn’t your style but you would never know by how much love you put in it. I would buy it any day of the week! Lol
Wow, this looks amazing. I’m glad you decided to restore this dresser.

Wow! This is awesome. Would love to hear about your own experiences on your channel. Love your videos. Take care my friend

Great suggestion! I'll do that
Nice. So much better than paint. Painting wood furniture is a real pet peave of mine.
*It looks beautiful after renovation* 👏🤩
