I prefer the Rubio Monocoat. I love the fact that it brings out the natural look of the wood.

Why did you use five finishes ?

It's beautiful now!

Wow! It's looking almost new! Fantastic work.

The Candlelight gel stain is the one I prefer. Thank you Barry.

nice to see tools made of solid materials instead of plastic crap!!

Number 1 looks great

HEY THERE! Hope everything is fine up there...I was just thinking about what you were thinking about trying to match the cigarette burn on the table. It popped into my head to try pigments from a good set of neutral mineral-based EYESHADOWS! Why not? Not the cheapie ones, but ones from mineral based companies like Laura Geller or Bare Minerals brand, they will have higher qualities to them, may be more light fast. Get the brown based "nude" palettes for mix n match color tones. I think this might prove successful. Try it! ❤

Wow, I came from your furniture videos and wasn’t sure I’d like this but I did! I feel very happy seeing old things not tossed but restored and used again, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love this! Other tool restoration videos use all sorts of fancy equipment and devices that a normal person could never possess. Your video makes me feel like it's within my reach. I am dedicated to repairing instead of replacing things that break, and have a shop full of older tools. I appreciate what you do (and you seem like a lovely person). Thank you!

I like one!

Do you have a source for a chuck for a Goodall and Pratt hand drill?

Thank you for the educational video and history of the Lane Company.

This is great. I just water ringed my coffee table bad from a poinsettia plant. fml. So im trying to see what im gonna do.

That is 1 Beautiful tool you have their now / lol // no really, it is a remarkable restoration👍👍

Out damn standing.

I have similar Stanley hand drill to restore but it is missing the jaws and springs in the chuck. Where can I find these parts. Any help will be appreciated

I like numbers 1 and 2. I suppose it would depend on the rest of the room. Did it hurt you a bit to do that? 😊 I do appreciate you sharing it. Very informative.

That egg beater drill came out great. I wished there was a way to take the chuck apart! I have a chuck which needs to be taken apart so i can put the springs back into the holes of the chuck wedge bits. Oh well.

#1 love the original look. I just bought a 1957 Lane Console with chips and spots but I am not brave enough to do a total refinish. What do you recommend for “spot restoration”? Thanks!

I like number 1. Thanks for the video and your commentary.

Very cool.

Sorry, I meant 1

Number 5

I love the bits of history you include…. hey, that company had a place in St. Catherine’s, Ont! Just down the highway from me!! Fantastic cleanup on this monkey wrench. Which gets me to thinking about the saying “throwing a monkey wrench into the works” ???

Barry that handle was a real bute I tell you and real bute! (Said like a gangster from the 30’s 😂) loved the music and the and the American flag 👍🏼🇺🇸❤️

I restored an entire fire extinguisher with flitz. It was hard work but beautiful. I love this channel Barry. Nice work

Tools that built America. And we’ve been watching on the History Channel Machines, Food, Snacks, Drinks etc that built America. Loved your content Barry on this channel. Love your other channel too. This is so relaxing and educational. Thank you for all that you putting these videos together. Much enjoy ❤️🇺🇸👍🏼

I love #1 and #5 is cool. Glad I finally remembered to go to this channel Barry. Very educational. Your gardens are so pretty 💐🪷🌺🌹🌸

Hello Barry, Love your content and how you explain your work. You do such a fine job on both. I feel like #1 is the winner for me. That one shows the grain off very well, along with the contrast.

Four is my favorite.

Enjoy videos on both your channels

No lead test on the paint? 👎 It's common for the paint of that time period to have lead in it. Proper disposal of toxic and/or hazardous materials is the responsible thing to do. But first you must identify whether or not you are dealing with hazardous materials...

1 looks best to me. But I'm glad to see the options involving less effort & exposure. I think consideration of how the table will be used is paramount. Thanks for this! What a great reference for future projects!

This is one of the best tool restorations I've ever seen!

I like listening to your comments, you said you go back and rewatch the video and add comments as you see fit. Great idea. I think if people would rather not listen to comments, they could mute the video. Win win, those of us who look forward to listening to you chat and explain can, and those who prefer no talking don’t have to. In the end all of us can enjoy the beautiful work you do together. Also I see there is very few videos listed for this site, and they are a year old. Did you change the name or move it?

Truly amazing!!

Beautiful

Amazing

I liked number four the best.

Well done, Barry! Is there nothing that you can’t resurrect!? You could have had a field day in my Dad’s shed! Every tool he owned was rusty. ❤️🦘

I like #4!

Beautiful

*Beautiful collection* ... ♥️ Loved seeing the different finishes side-by-side. And I appreciate that you left the area's in-between each of them untouched.

My Dad had this tool and used it for years before he bought a power drill. I even used it on a few projects as a boy. I forgot that the bits were kept in the handle!.He's passed away, but it's still in my Mom's garage. I was visiting her a few months ago and needed a drill and tried to use it but it was in sad shape. After watching your restoration, I think I will give it a try. Thanks!
