Ep. 38 Amazing RESTORATION of a RARE VINTAGE Lane Side Table
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I found this Vintage Lane Side Table on Facebook Marketplace for $25. The previous owner painted this table with purple chalk paint. After researching the history behind the Lane Furniture Company, I discovered this table was part of the Lane Copenhagen series made in 1957. I decided to restore and refinish this furniture using the carbide paint scrapers, paint stripper, the orbital sander and several old unique refinishing tools. For the finishes I decided to stain this table with Minwax Walnut Gel Stain. I then used General Finishes Arm R Seal Oil-based Wipe on Polyurethane. For the last step I applied Howard Feed N Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner. Follow me on this DIY journey as I discuss flipping furniture for a profit. I hope this will be a great ASMR video in support of mental health awareness. Thanks for all the support. Barry

I hope people watch this for entertainment and not education. The refinishing process is completely wrong. It only takes a little more time and effort to refinish correctly.
Where do I even start with this one? Over 900 comments on the video and this is the first negative comment. I certainly did not expect it from a fellow youtuber. It takes time, but I reply to every supporter who leaves a comment. Without them, I could not do this. I took the time to watch the 1 video on your channel, gave a thumbs up, and became subscriber #57. My finish choices may not have been your preference, but this journey is about so much more than that. We are here to lift each other up. I would imagine after creating 1 video for your channel, you understand how much time and effort goes into creating quality content. It's sad that you didn't even take the time to respond to the 11 people who supported you by leaving a comment on your first video. May I suggest a humble approach to your work and a greater amount of respect towards others? Thank you for watching my video. Barry
What did he do wrong? It is beautiful!!
@@mythreesons8084 wrong color, blotchy, used wipe on clear coat over top the toner which smears it.
@@MadManRestorations give me a longer response so I can enjoy my popcorn. This isn't a good look for your RUclips channel. Is it really that difficult to be nice to people? They are your supporters
@@MadCityModern Sure. You talk about a journey in refinishing furniture. In terms of skills and techniques your channel is novice at best. It seems that along your journey you have not learned the correct and better refinishing techniques. So you shouldn't call it a journey but more like an infinite loop that revolves around inferior stains and polys. You should strive to learn but instead people like you get butt hurt when there is constructive criticism that is outside your echo chamber. I'm sure bringing up my channel is a dig at me. Which is funny because I really don't care. I only care about furniture being refinished correctly. These poorly restored pieces end up making their way to me and I have to correct all the mistakes someone made from watching a RUclips video. I hope this response is long enough for you. I was more than happy to not respond. But like you mentioned earlier, I should respond to all RUclips comments.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting your return and am glad to see another video of your work. To answer your question early in the video, I have a three-drawer dresser that was my great-grandmother’s. It was refinished by either my mom or my aunt and stood in the kitchen of my parents’ house when I was growing up. The top drawer was where my dad put change for us to use for school lunches, so it holds sentimental value for me. Today, it stores linens at my house.
I think people resonate with your channel not only because of the quality of your work but because of your kind heart. Looking forward to learning more as you share your skills here.
I love this comment! It amazes me how different all the stories are. The memories you shared are so unique and that makes a video like this worth it. Thank you! Barry
Lovely comment Bob.
My parents' maple bedroom set, (they were married in 1944). My Mother fell victim to the 60s “antiquing” fad, in red! When both parents were gone I inherited the double bed, bedside tables, 6 drawer dresser, and stool, all of which I restored to their beautiful original glory. Still solid pieces, in use in our home. Company is Imperial Loyalist, Stratford Ontario Canada.
Such a great story. I have heard so much about the "antiquing" fad. Thank you Janice
I stripped a dresser that had been painted red and for the weeks that I worked on it my garage looked liked the site of a mass murder. Stripped red paint does look just like dried blood.
😮😮😮On one hand she preserved them in some fashion under paint instead of getting rid of them, on the other hand, RED OH MY! it took years for you to find the true beauty of them.
My parents weren't even born until 1960! I think my grandparents were married around 1957, so that's where I was.
I have an upright grand piano from 1836, it was commissioned by one of my great uncles. It's very special to my family. It's in fantastic condition and hasn't even refinished. It does have one lovely spot in the stain where a fingerprint is visible and I love to think of the person who worked on it and left their mark.
Also, bleeding hearts are my favourite flowers, thanks for the close up!
I'd love to see that piano
Hello !
I once lived in a neighborhood frequented by "flippers" , who would swoop in at the passing of the elderly homeowner and purchase it (on the cheap) from the grieving family . In short order , the contents would appear at the curb , while cursory " improvements "were made inside . After checking with the new owner , I rescued a Lane cedar chest , whose date declared it had been made February 13 , 1945 ! Although someone had nailed a piece of sheet vinyl to the top , the inside was pristine and still had its original hang tag . When I was in high school , it was customary for the local furniture store to gift each senior girl a miniature Lane cedar chest...hoping her family would purchase a real one for her . That rescued chest has followed me through all my moving and serves me still !
Another awesome video! I appreciated your “paint correction” for this piece. I often see furniture that has been given a cover up paint job in a color that I assumed was on sale, lol. The end product speaks to a time when people were more aligned with nature and it’s beauty, craving that ambiance in their living spaces. Keep up the great work and take care!
Such great feedback. Thank you for always being supportive! Barry
1967 this piece is 10 years older than myself. Once again, beautifully restored!
It was 1957, so maybe the same older
@@MadCityModern I was born in 1967 lol so it's 10 years older than me 😁
I was a child in 1957 but I live in a 1959 mid century modern so you have to have a bit of furniture from that time period. My oldest piece is a drop front desk from about the mid 1800’s . When I purchased it it had its original ebonized finish but was in terrible shape. When I removed the old finish I was surprised and delighted to find that under that black was solid curly and tiger maple with veneer only on drawer fronts. It is a stunner.
Wow! What a rewarding find
I so enjoy seeing old things made new. I hate waste. It's good there are folks who are willing and talented enough to invest the time to accomplish what you are doing.
I have built scale models for more than 60 years. In recent times, I have devoted my time and skills to rescuing old junk models and giving them new life. There is a joy in restoration that is hard to put into words.
I am actually considering starting a new channel for toy models
I have viewed several that focus on Tonka trucks made in the 50's and 60's. Such videos are far and away more engaging than most of what passes for entertainment on network television of today. Six months ago, I did away with the propaganda feed it has become, and now I am free to pursue many new things!
I have 2 wooden bean shaped side tables that have ebony and ivory embossed within, my grandpa got them in Africa whilst serving in the Navy, making these tables 65+ years old, these are 2 tables that I will be holding onto for the rest of my life
Wow. What a story
Great restoration as usual, and very educational. Thank you.
In 1957 I didn’t exist, I wasn’t even an idea 😂
The oldest piece of furniture I own is a Thonet console & mirror, it’s almost 100 years old and it was passed over to me from my grandma.
Thank you for sharing this. So cool to own a piece that is almost 100 yrs old. barry
My goodness, what a beauty hiding under that purple paint! Well staged. You are very talented. Keep up the great work!
This table look almost new again. 🤩
Thank you Paula
Your generous and kind nature is so inspiring. Let’s start a “revival” of doing things for people… with no gain for ourselves. Looking forward to your next video, and best wishes!
Awesome idea!
Watching the rolls of paint gave me chills. What a beauty of a table!
It was rewarding to peel
@@MadCityModern I bet it was! i'm a little jealous!
Barry always love listen to your thought while we watch you work. You have a gentle spirit and so grateful for all you shared. This piece is beautiful
Thank you Sarah. Enjoyed seeing you in Ashley's video
1957 - wasn’t even an idea in my parents’ mind lol. And now I know what robin’s egg color looks like, so thank you 😊
I can't remember the official color name, but these were new and still so glossy
That purple is noxious!!
Yes
In 1957, I was 3 years old. I turned 3 in July of that year. I was living in Huntington, West Virginia, where I was born, and lived until October of the year I turned 30. I honestly can't remember much about the furniture we had back then.
It's nice to learn the history of pieces
You asked, I was a year old in 57, and the oldest piece of furniture I have is my grandmother’s sewing machine, a Kenmore in a simple maple cabinet, it’s sentimental because it was grandma’s then my mother’s, and now mine !
I can only describe this video as joyful. Furniture restoration and a beautiful American Robin. Thankyou so much! (PS my Mum was pregnant with me in 1957).
Thank you so much
I was 11 years old and living in Brooklyn in 1957. I loved it when the Life Magazine arrived, I get such a kick out of watching you relax with your copy. ( ;
You are such a KIND, GENEROUS, precious human. I wish that our societies were like you… Oops, I guess I defined “Heaven”.
Wow. Thank you
Now thats a beautiful table.Thank you Barry
Thank you for watching
My wife has her grandmothers White Rotary sewing machine, bought between 1922 and 1947, from either NJ, PA or MD
I was 6 year's old. Waiting for Barbie Dolls to be marketed! Little did we know how well she would change the toy industry.
I just learned something today. Didn't know this. Thank you for sharing. So cool
Another beautiful transformation! I sure wish people that decide to paint furniture would consider the future of that piece, and at least put a coat of poly on to keep the paint out of the wood grain. That just protects the wood and anyone down the road that decides they want to strip that paint will have a much easier job. This turned out great, Barry.
I was ten years shy of being born in 1957. I have several pieces in my home that are much older than me. I have a walnut armoire that belonged to my husband's aunt, an old camel back chest that still has all of her newspaper clippings and other collectibles, and her buffet and china cabinet. The buffet and china cabinet are most sentimental to me because I had to spend a lot of time and effort to clean them, repair them, and polish them.
I think finding the newspapers would have been my favorite part
@@MadCityModern Maybe one day I will get the courage to pull all of the contents of the chest out and record it. Only one newspaper has stuck with me and that was the Lindbergh kidnapping. I honestly don't remember what else is in it.
You are such a kind soul. I love that your robin is back. And a gorgeous finish, but it's so nice to watch a channel that's interesting in other ways.
I really appreciate this comment Joanne
LANE would be proud.
Thank you Lynn
While I prefer natural wood over paint, I understand that there are times when paint is the best choice. Nice job as always.
Love this approach
I have my grandmother’s Queensland oak sideboard from the 1920’s and my parents mid century dining table and chairs and a coffee table from the early 1960’s
All of them are sold wood and beautiful
Yes I live in Australia
Great pieces! Wow
I respect your philosophy and words so much. Thank you for being a great teacher and mentor through youtube! I've been watching to learn how to restore furniture for my house, and so far it's been going great.
Love this! Thank you for sharing Rebekah. Barry
I love the fact that you have such passion for history. and you have such a soothing voice..
Thank you Tony
Simply beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This turned out perfect! The manufacturers date was my mother’s 20th birthday. I was not thought about yet.
Wow. So cool
WOW! I love watching these transformations. So theraputic and satisfying. Amazing skill. Nottingham, England UK.
Thank you Dawn!
Love your channel! You are the "Bob Ross" of furniture restoration-- always a joy to watch.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one that thinks like that lol, I just refinished a 1958 voice of music speaker and I wonder what music was played on it or was it in a dorm room at one point or a child blasted the Beatles on it. You just get a connected feeling from the past when you refinish these things. Amazing work as usual keep it up!
This is awesome!
i enjoy watching you working your craft, your voice is mesmerizing too.
Thank you Cathy
Yay a Robin!
Yes!
I was waiting for a new video from you and here you are!!! What an immense pleasure to see you in such a labor of love! You're more than therapeutic, you're really great. Thanks for sharing beauty!!! Hugs from Milan
Thank you and hello to Milan
Stunning result,
Thank you Patty
I am really enjoying your channel. I have a Lane hope chest I received in 1981, but my favorite Lane piece was a boomerang coffee table my grandparents had from the 1950s. Keep up the excellent work and content.
So glad you enjoy the channel! Barry
My mother has a Lane cedar chest. My house is full of old furniture either from my grandma or from the previous owner of my 1954 home.
That's awesome!
Looks awesome! Great staging too.
Thank you
I have a walnut double bed made in Nepean, Ontario in approx. 1910's. I paid $75 for it in the 1980's. It was falling apart but I couldn't find any newer bed that I liked half as much, so I got it fixed up
Great result!
Thank you Roxana. Barry
Glorious! Such respect for another time revived to be a pleasure once more. Lovely restoration of the veneer. Art and craft sublime!
Your ZZ plant is gorgeous!
In 1957I was 7 yrs. old. My parents had a maple dining room table & chairs with leafs, a maple desk and two narrow book holding end tables. (V shaped shelf under the table top so the book spines could be read easily.). All these were sold when my father passed away. I wonder what you could have done with the desk that had a cigarette burn on the top. It had a high gloss finish.
Thank you for sharing these memories
At age 78, I have my grandmother's oak dining set and matching hutch. I also have an oak dresser from her small home. A family story accompanies the hutch, called "Merlin's Pony." Merlin was the youngest of three, and my father. He wanted a pony, but when enough money was saved for it, Nana used the funds to buy the dining room piece. Merlin's Pony occupies my bedroom, while the dresser with mirror are in another bedroom. The table and chairs are in my dining/kitchen area. Unfortunately, I live in the tropics, so termites and humidity have impacted their condition.
As always gorgeous job. I love watching your videos.
thank you Valorie
Just got this exact table off FB for $25 as well. Top painted with white paint, bottom with a bad purple-red stain. Will be taking some tips. Thanks!
New subscriber here ... love this rehab of such a beautiful table. Thanks.
Welcome to the channel Linda! Barry
My parents weren’t around in 1957, so I certainly wasn’t! I have a few vintage pieces from my grandmother, some of which I’ve had to very carefully upcycle as they had lead paint on them, which while I can appreciate keeping things original, they didn’t work in my house with young children around. Your restoration videos astound me, the attention to detail is incredible!
Thank you so much. Barry
Hi Barry! Great video. Love the way this piece turned out. It's so satisfying removing paint from pieces like this and seeing the beauty underneath. Keep up the great work! In 1957, my mother was 4 years old.
Hi Don! Thank you for all the support. Always nice to chat with you. Barry
Beautiful! I love your work. I was 11 years old in 1957.
Thank you for sharing this memory. Barry
I don’t know what I enjoyed more, your content or the transformation of this table! Your attention to detail is astounding. The balance between the high speed video and soothing slow music is perfect. The staging of the reveal is bringing back my childhood. In 1957 I spent a few months on this 🌎. Thanks for a beautifully executed video and restoration!
Thank you so much for this awesome feedback
You have great style! Dress up those plants with some dried moss covering the soil to elevate their look.
Great suggestion!
👌👌 gracias
Thank you
Hey!!! Barry!!!
L🎈VE. From Michigan !!!
Love Michigan!
I wasn’t around yet in 1957
But I picked up a resale John M Smyth maple dresser in great shape for $25.
Wow. Great find
Un trabajo perfecto. Como han podido pintar la mesa,de rosa?
Saludos desde España.
Thank you Teresa
What's with all the purple furniture? Does purple hold a particular attraction for those with no taste? Great save!
I was 2 yr old I have 100 yr old rocker given to me , 70 yr old cedar chest, mid century chair and small side that's at least 80 yr or more
I was a new born 1957!
I have a dining table and buffet which belonged to my great grandparents.
Wow. Love this
I have a piece of furniture that my uncle made in high school
Those pieces are special
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you
Hmmm... 1957, My parents were 1 year away from their wedding and about 7 years from my appearance. 😀
Thank you Mike! Barry
1957 I was born August
Awesome!
In 1957? My MOM was only 12 so I wasn't even a seedling thought yet!
where i was in 1957??? I was born September 11, 1957 in the Netherlands
Love that!
Year I was born…no furniture, but I do have a 1930’s piano
Ah, good ol Etsy listings. If it’s even REMOTELY a thing, you bet there will be Etsy listings for several times any reasonable price for said item.
Yes I agree
I have to bring my old furniture pieces home from my mothers… but I have a tall skinny corner cabinet that has been with me for a very long time and it use to hold knickknacks from my late great grandmother’s house it’s kinda unstable and not all that heavy but it has sharp corners I remember my mother screwing it into my wall when my baby sister was born because she was afraid it would fall over and I thought she was Crazy 😂 (I was 10, I’m almost 30 now) … however a couple weeks ago now I went to her house and she had a slight scratch on her face I said oh my gosh what happened and she said “ well, do you remember when I secured that corner cabinet to ur wall” I replied “yes” and she said “well I went to move it and it tipped over onto my head” and we both laughed about it because it is almost absurdly petite with a little heart cut outs but it is a solid wood piece so 😬 ouch!
As always, you never cease to astound me . Your channel is very therapeutic, your voice and watching you bring a beautiful piece of furniture back to life is a joy to witness. There’s something about wood that shows the beauty of nature .
Thank you so much for this encouraging message. I do my best to share a variety of thoughts while I am working. Barry
I was 1 year old in 1957. Sometime in the 1960s, my parents purchased a Lane Acclaim step table, which I still have. I found an Acclaim side table in Goodwill 3 years ago with something sticky all over it, for $1.75. (it cleaned up pretty well.) This is a beautiful line of furniture.
I am retired from Nursing now so I "shop the curbside" on trash day and have found mid-century furniture in need of a little repair or cleaning which I do, then donate it to the Humane Society Thrift Store in our county. This has brought the puppies and kittens a lot of revenue!
This is one of my favorite comments. A Lane Acclaim Step Table. I can't say I have seen one. Thank you for sharing all of this. Barry
@@MadCityModern 2:34, with the gold chair- we called it the "step table".
You are an angel!!
God bless you for helping the animals
Oooh, yes!!
Great idea, Pamela P! Refinishing curbside cast-aways and then donating the items to a charity such as the Humane Society to sell is an excellent idea!😍🤩
This was a small project that took just as much time to complete as some of the larger furniture items. I trust you enjoyed the variety of day to day activities in this video. Where were you in 1957? Thank you for all the support! Barry
"Where were you in 1957?"
A Midwestern playpen.
I wasn't even a gleam in my daddies eyes yet. Or so he told me on various things. I miss him and that sense of humor. Lol
Two years from being born! Maybe I was a twinkle of lust in my parents eyes!
Trying to climb up and into my baby sister’s bassinet to play
I was 7 years away from being a gleam in my Daddy's eye and 8 years from being born in Oconomoeoc and named, (my actual name) for the guy that lost the 1964 US presidential election.
In the summer of 1957 my father had worked in the mountains above Flagstaff, AZ cutting ski trails to earn the money to buy a brand new 4-door "convertible hardtop" style Bel Air about when that table was made.
I love that you are going to offer this piece back to the original owner. You are not only creative, you are also thoughtful & kind. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you Deb
It’s a good thing paint doesn’t permanently cover the gem underneath.
I think this is the first time I’ve never been afraid to see dentistry tools 🤣
Love that table, and the bird life too.
I think sometimes the paint helps preserve what is under it, but every once in awhile the veneer is damaged from prep sanding
I don’t know why, but seeing full restorations like this make me emotional. I love seeing worn down pieces brought back to life!
Me too actually
In 1957, I was 7 years old and playing hopscotch on my street that was covered with a cathedral of giant elm trees. The trees absorbed the sound in a way I remember still. I'm sure you would've appreciated those trees. Those trees, like almost all the elms in my city, died from Dutch Elm disease. I still miss them after 65 years.
I'm not a big fan of painted furniture because I love seeing the natural wood grain. Your comments helped me to realize that painting it may have brought much joy to the painter or the person it was being painted for. Thanks for helping me see that.
Beautiful results, as always.
Thank you for this
Barry, things have been busy for me so I have been intermittent on RUclips for the past few months. The quality of your work, both the filmography and furniture restoration, has grown immensely! Keep up the great work. You’re super! -Phil
Hi Phil. Glad to see you again. Barry
As a wood purest myself, it is so incredibly satisfying to see that wood freed from that purple paint! Thank you for saving these beautiful pieces.
And boy did that brass crab make me smile! My mother had that exact same piece when I was in high school 😁
Thank you so much
You're a stand up guy my man. Gotta give back. I'm more impressed with you're humanity than your amazing restoration work.
Thank you so much. Barry
You bring so much peace and joy to the planet! I was 3 in 1957. Poor, living in the country, no tellie or radio, so climbing trees and playing outside all day was my existence. Had no idea such elegant furniture was the style of the day. I love the format of this video, but truly, I enjoy all of your work. ☮️☮️☮️
Thank you so much for this Glenda
I feel like there's so much more going on here other than just doing the restoring. You have a good soul and clearly put your full effort and heart in your projects. I truly love your videos, thank you and greetings from Finland!
I was 3 years old in 1957, in Tasmania, Australia. The oldest piece of furniture I have in my possession is a writing desk made in 1927, by a young man who was finishing his cabinetry apprenticeship. It was his final examination piece. When he aged and passed away, his family didn't want the desk, so my late father offered to take it off their hands. This unique piece of furniture means so much to me and I use it daily. Mary Joh.
Thank you Mary Joh. I love this story! Barry
The finished project with the lamp, birds and magazine made me smile.
The table is beautiful.
Your comments about what you were going to do with the end table and your generosity towards the young couple warmed my heart.
I enjoy the beauty you bring out in each piece but I am moved by the beauty of your soul. Thank you.
This comment made my day. Thank you Linda
A few minutes of calm in this turbulent world. Love your channel and appreciate the extra steps you take. My father was a French polisher by trade and your attention to detail reminds me of him. Cheers!
Thank you so much for always leaving a comment
Absolutely beautiful!
I love that you returned it to the seller. Would love to know her reaction. 💙
She was very pleasant
@@MadCityModern My hero of understatement.
I was born in Scotland 1956.
Growing up a lot of our furniture was salvaged from ships as my father was a manager of a ship breaking yard. By the 1970's most of the pieces he brought home for us to use were sanded and painted matt white.
All the pieces of furniture he brought home were well made solid wood pieces, perfectly functional but they lacked design elements as the ships being scrapped were ex Navy.
Some interesting things he saved from being scrapped were passed on to other people as well. I had a radio booth in my bedroom for about a year. I could sit inside it and tune into radio stations around the world. It was great fun, full of knobs and dials. It was eventually given to a radio enthusiast to enjoy.
You have done another wonderful job. That table was crying for help and you gave it. Striped it, sanded it, and then refinished it back to it's glory. That poor table looks like it was painted a couple times. Purple is my favorite color but not on wood. You have a very nice even voice as you talk us through this as well. Love all the bird life around your area and the flowers too. You have a great day and keep being you.
Thank you Elsie! Barry
I LOVE your videos. My 8year old granddaughter wondered what I was watching, and when I showed her the paint stripping portion, she sighed, “soooo satisfying.” YES! She gets it!!
That's incredible. This comment made me so happy
Awesome restoration on this end table. It came out absolutely beautiful! Well done Barry!
