This was fantastic, 27 years restoring in the antiques business, and I cannot recall ever having done a medical piece like this, and what a beautiful job you did..
Thank you. That is why I decided to try something unusual like this.
Each item in your hands has its own story. It's not just a wonderful restoration journey, but rather a documentary in itself. Excellent work, well done!!
thank you so much
I have two of those tables in my medical office and use them daily. I love these tables. So nice to see another one.
wow! was hoping to see a comment like this
Who will but this and for what purpose? Saw the Dr. Who said he uses them every day. Unless you watch TV. and eat popcorn all day on it slanted up. Beautiful beautiful work. Thank you.stsy well.
Wow, this is certainly a departure from the usual chest of drawers/sideboard fare of typical furniture channels. 😂 Fascinating, soothing and engaging, as per usual. ❤
thank you. enjoyed trying something a little different
@@MadCityModern what are you going to do with it? It might be a bit odd in the living room 😂 I would have mad respect for a doctor who had such a cool exam table in his/her practice!
Perhaps you already answered this, but what are your plans for this piece, Barry? Will you sell it? It’s a beautiful piece of furniture but will take just the right buyer.
I particularly liked this video. My husband retired as covid interrupted our world. He is a family practice physician and practiced more than 60 years! He had an exam table very similar to the one you are refinishing and other matching pieces to this. They were in very good condition, I can't remember what happened to them, but he used for years! Thank you.
I bet he is so happy that he didn’t inject anyone with the thing that ruined my mothers life, giving her heart issues. His conscience must be clear
I love this comment. Thank you for sharing
You were fortunate that the vinyl was intact. Beautiful work as always.
@sew...
What wonderful memory! Thank you for sharing.
@@MissDelia...what "thing" ?
I enjoyed this so much. I'm 63 and this table reminds me of old Dr. Creiten who brought me my sister and mother into the world in small town Canada. Thanks for the memories.
this is why i decided to try an unusual restoration. memories like these
What a beautiful piece! Love the Art Deco design. Since it was manufactured in 1945, the Art Deco period was ending and the Mid Century Modern period was just about to begin. Love the history. Thank you.
excellent feedback. thank you
I love the stories about your pieces almost as much as your incredible finished products. Thanks for making an old lady happy by giving me something meaningful to watch.
I really appreciate this!
Simply amazing! Too bad the original craftspeople can't see how you have lovingly given this piece of our history a new life. Hopefully, one of them watches your channel. How amazing would that be if they did and reached out to you. As always, your finished piece is absolutely beautiful!
that would be amazing. it has happened in the past
I love that you restore these old time worn pieces. This especially touched me because I worked as a practice manager for an OB/GYN for several years. Our equipment wasn’t this old but I still appreciate the time you spent bringing the beauty back to this piece that probably served a doctor very well. Your work is spectacular, Barry. Thanks for sharing!
love this comment!
Awesome work done ✔️ 👏 👍 👌. A grand Salute 🫡
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, it’s like a museum piece now!
thank you
A treasure made even more beloved and valuable due to your gentle touch and love for the history of it. ❤❤
thank you
FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC video Barry!!! Man oh Man if this table could talk & I think about how many returning veterans were seen on this table & how many of their ailments & battle scars were treated on here. Your work is insanely detailed & a joy to watch Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
I absolutely love this insight. Thank you my friend!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. You are truly skilled and I love your appreciation for historical pieces
Thank you very much!
You did an excellent job restoring the exam table. Thank you.
thank you
My doctor still uses two of these. Looks just like this. It's very cool.
wow
This turned out beautifully and is not something you see every day.
You’ve done a great restoration on a truly wonderful piece that is fascinating in several fronts. Beautiful example of art-deco, intriguing medical history, great engineering, war stories…. This piece has SO much going for it and you honoured its historic interest with balance of clean, restore,renovate. I’m sure it will still look good in most domestic situations or even a museum, equally.
thank you so much for this
Just saw one virtually identical to this one on Letgo from a seller in San Jose, CA for $900. Such a beautiful piece!! Had no idea that even medical equipment was made so artfully back in the day!!
i saw a few others listed as well. Always interesting to find them
INCREDIBLE!! You have boundless patience. There seemed to be at least a hundred parts to that table. There were so many metal pieces that needed rust and corrosion removal. Just wow is all I can say, oh I forgot to say the mahogany is beautiful in the color you chose.
thank you so much
We so often think of household pieces when thinking of MCM items and never consider professional furniture used during the era. The craftsmanship and construction of this piece has so much depth of beauty and functionality than the current medical and dental exam beds in use. The original designer, manufacturer, and owner must all have felt a strong sense of pride in the appearance and ownership of this beautiful piece.
love this comment!
Hi Barry! Another superb restoration! But the biggest accomplishment was putting all the pieces back together in the right places. You are amazing!!
I've always loved wood-restoration channels. And even better that this one represents my own hometown, Madison, Wisconsin.
What a Cadillac of a piece, with those chrome details and bookmatched walnut veneers/panels! You certainly restored it to a beautiful shine!
Love the use of the dental tools on the dentist table, lol!
Haha. You caught that
Great job! I’m very familiar with this type of exam table as a retired ER RN of 28 years!
love this comment!
I introduced my husband to your channel today. I love how your restore vintage and antique and give us a history lesson about the pieces. Thank you for your dedication and inspiration.
Hi Barry!
Hello!
This examination table was built when skill, beauty and use all met. What an amazing job you did restoring it.
Excellent feedback! Thank you
That looks great! It could go in a medical museum, maybe? Interesting it was intended to be a dental chair?
I would love for it to go to a museum
Wow wow wow!!!! What a treasure!! 🤩🤩
thank you
Looks like you have yourself a nice "I'm just resting my eyes" piece of furniture for the shop. 😂
thank you
I’ve missed your voice! Your channel is my “happy place”. I actually gasped when I saw the finished beauty❣️My cat will verify this!
Thank you Elaine!
I like his respect and professionalism for each piece in his hands👍
What a great transformation, great to watch and very therapeutic as well. You would make a good surgeon or dentist yourself!
thank you so much
The best therapy I've experienced is watching your videos. Thanks for bringing these historical pieces back and even beyond their original beauty. You are loving old soul, Barry.
That's when things was made to last, gorgeous 😊
Well said!
You are an historian as well as a restorer and you’re just fabulous at both jobs! It’s amazing the ingenuity of the designers of these pieces with the heavy and complicated fixtures they used back then, but they had so much more CLASS than today’s dinky models for the same purpose! Thank you for showing them to us as they would have looked when new. Very impressive, both to look at and that you manage to drag it back into usability! Just love watching you work your magic! Keep it up.❤️🦘🇦🇺😊
I really appreciate this comment!
WOW! When I first saw it I said Ewe! But it looks fantastic now! Great job!
thank you so much
Great piece..I love the finish and wood on that table..there's something about wood that seems to be alive..only way I can describe it..shame that we can't still produce fine craftsmanship and detail..like the ol day
Thanks for inviting us along
Thank you for this vlog! Amazing restoration! Two Rivers (or "Twerves") is where my Mom Julie was born and raised. Her father, Sylvester Schmitt was the eldest of 17 children. He was an Architect and according to Mom, helped the government with designing nuclear subs starting in WWII.
Magnificent restoration. Such an unusual piece, of which I am sure few survive. Your descriptions and narration are spot on. I especially appreciate you going with original finishes, also great veneer work. ❤❤❤your videos. Thank you!!!
thank you so much Richard!
Beautiful thankful you kept the word most people would have painted it and of course run the whole Integrity of the Peace❤❤❤❤❤
This is a beautiful piece and wonderful restoration.
But I wanted to give you a tip. My old neighbor restored furniture and his favorite 'new' thing was an electric baby bottle warmer for his hide glue bottle. Apparently is works great....who knew.
Just a thought
such a great idea!
@@MadCityModern
Glad you think so.
Wow. That's a beautiful piece once more! It may not be a piece of furniture one would have in their home, but I really enjoyed seeing something so old and unique brought back to its former glory. Awesome job, Barry. Thanks for sharing this unique story. 👏
Thank you very much!
I love the uniqueness of this piece & you did a great restoration ♥️
thank you
I actually had at one time a matching piece for this exam table. I thought it was a dentist office piece. The top had a "hidden compartment" that had slots and holes to hold the tools of the trade.
i was hoping to find the matching piece
The medical office you showed us was quite lovely. There aren’t many buildings from that era here in the States. My dad worked for many years in an office building built in the mid-40’s. They were able to get building materials for an office only because they put manufacturing in the basement and had been building stuff for the war effort. My first job was working in that basement and the hallways were still the original finished cement in the basement
I'm thinking how could I use this in my house? Its that beautiful. Art Deco was certainly a unique style. Thank you Barry for another good refinishing post.
Others have suggested maybe using as a buffet
I'm thinking the same - for some strange reason I love it and want it, but firstly where would I put it and whatever would I use it for 🙂
This certainly was a complicated piece to restore. Your veneer restoration is impressive .Thank you for your time and effort.
thank you so much
Brilliant! What a difference you made to it.
thank you
Beautiful as always! Love the stories and history! You are a gifted craftsman and storyteller!
thank you so much
Beautiful restoration, Barry! I can’t imagine how long that took to do, you’re a master!
Thank you. This one took several days
Wonderful work, genuinely one of the coolest pieces you’ve restored. It’s such a novelty item!
thank you!
I sooooo love these historical restoration videos, I learn something new about American history (I’m European) almost everytime
Thank you 👍🏻🇩🇪
What an incredible outcome! You did a beautiful job on this. Well done!
thank you
That is a beautiful piece.
thank you
We really enjoyed this restoration.
Thank you!
That was really unusual and an absolutely lovely transformation.
thank you Lois
I think Gunstock is my favorite shade of penetrating stain…it is so warm! Boy this medical table had so many pieces and parts and you did it justice! Some medical practitioner should be honored to have this in their practice instead of the shiny cold metal medical tables!
Also one of my favorite stain colors at the moment. thank you for the great feedback. Barry
There are many restorers on You Tube and all show varying degrees of skill level from good to great. However, I most enjoy those like yours that tell the history of the item being worked on. Great job!
Stunning. Thanks for sharing this unique peice of furniture. 👍
thank you
Found your channel a few months back and have really enjoyed your videos! You have a very calming voice and love the way you calmly and patiently work. Almost thought after a month of no videos that you had left lol so happy to see your recent uploads! I love the calm music as well and the way you add knowledge of the piece you are restoring! By far one of my favorite RUclips Channels! Take care and keep em coming!
Wow! This comment made my day. Welcome to the channel! Thank you for the support. Barry
@@MadCityModern You bet 💕
Beautiful job as always, Barry! I could see someone using this as a baby changing table, with lots of storage for all the baby gear.
I could actually see this as a kitchen island with some modifications. So cool 😎
That's a great idea!
That was in surprisingly good shape. And you did a fantastic job restoring it. Loved the color. I love the layout of the draws and plus it's beautiful, that I'd almost want to remove the top chair thingy and fix the top to be more like a home furniture piece.
Great feedback. I would imagine this will eventually be repurposed.
This is a beautiful and useful restoration!!! ❤❤❤ Knowing that it was intended for a dentist, I'm relieved that there weren't any stirrups. 😅
well said
You picked the best ever word in your video description. Stunning. What a wonderful piece of furniture thanks to you, Barry.
WOW,WOW,WOW,WOW ! Stunning ! I've never seen such a piece of furniture. What you did was utter MAGIC ! Tons of different work there, and the end result is fantastic. What a piece of history you have saved. Your voice is therapy in itself, and watching you work is calming too. Thank you so much, WELL DONE. I'm almost lost for words ! Take care 🙂
Beautiful restoration❤️❤️
thank you
Barry, your work is spectacular. Thank you for sharing..❤️
thank you
Nicely done!!! a truly unique piece,
thank you
I would have never in a million years think an exam table could be a work of art. Barry sometimes you are out of this world. Beautiful, and just think of all the young ladies that found out they were having a baby so soon after her husband came home.
This is a beautiful restoration. I love the new finish. I’m impressed by how well the cushions cleaned up.
I can’t figure out how this was supposed to be a dental exam table. Gynecology, urology, even general practice makes sense, but I guess I’m too used to a chair being used for dentistry and podiatry.
I was confused by this as well
It would look right at home in a medical museum. AB FAB!
This looks interesting. Very cool Barry thanks.
thank you for watching
There was a different mindset amongst the builders of yesterday. Time moves on I suppose and the only constant in life is change I accept. The availability of different materials with different qualities and the pairing down to necessity of form over function has form of its own I guess. Still nice to see people like yourself paying appropriate homage to this chunk of artisanry.
Thank you so much!
wow! .... interesting piece to acquire! .... lots of work! .... beautiful result ... well done ad ...
thank you for all your support
I'm so thankful for every piece you restore and the story that goes with it. You do wonderful work.
it looks so much better after the restoration you gave it. Being a medical table I would've thought there would be decades of bacteria from the many different patients which would been absorbed in the wood and elsewhere. wearing rubber gloves and washing the med table with hospital grade disinfectant would been good protection
great feedback!
Such wonderful care on this restoration. Particularly impressed by the metal work. I love how you find out the history of the piece and I could listen to you all day. Love from SWFrance
Thank you so much!
Always an interesting journey with you! A piece of history and new skills learned. Bravo Barry 👏🏽!
thank you!
Beautiful restoration. Going with the lighter and redder stain was a great choice because it makes the piece less threatening and ominous. Certainly not your run-of-the-mill restoration video. Thanks!
It looks beautiful. My doctor has one just like that in her office.
wow
Beautiful exam table.
Thank you 🤗
Wow! I always appreciate that you provide insight into the history of a piece of furniture and the results of your work are great. But this time you have exelled yourself. The piece belongs in a museum...
Exceptional!
thank you
A perfect example of how a piece of utilitarian furniture can also be a thing of beauty
It’s beautiful. I love watching your process. It’s certainly ready for a museum or a doctors office with a flair for history.
Holy smokes Barry, that was a project. So many pieces, but, you did an excellent job. It looks beautiful. What a piece of history. Joyce❤️🙏🇺🇸
Really interesting piece. Great for your dungeon. LOL. I wouldn't have stained it. I like the natural color of wood and the variations.
I don't know what you intend to do with this piece of furniture, but I think it should be put in a museum
That is likely where it will end up
A fantastic rescue of a piece of history!
thank you
Quite the transformation! Beautifully done!
Wonderful history and lovingly done and fantastic restoration 😊 colour is beautiful 😊
Thank you so much
Beautiful project
thank you
Holy cow. This is an amazing restoration. I am happy that you posted this. Well done, sir!
Beautiful 😊
thank you
