Ep. 45 OLD Step Table RESTORATION...Lane Acclaim

[@MadCityModern]

I am excited to be kicking off this Lane Acclaim RESTORATION Series! These episodes will be included a few times a month along with the normal restoration videos! I will be trying several different finishes for all these pieces. Let me know some of your favorites! Thank you for all the support. Barry

Thank you Samantha! Barry

[@1Freddie55]

I have one of these tables that came with my first apartment when I was in college, many years ago, that I was able to take with me and I still cherish it today. It's lovely to watch how the table is constructed, and while you're showing the restoration I'm able to gaze at my table with a newfound appreciation.

[@marilanderos977]

The able u restored in this video , my parents used them as end tables. They had 2. We also had that giant round coffee table from the same group. I never knew until watching ur videos how popular this furniture series was. Had no idea it was made by the cedar chest company. It really brings back a lot of memories.

[@kimberlyallen6582]

beautiful!. I noticed the typewriter and table in the background. My dad still has the one like that we learned to type on and typed our high school term papers on. Wonderful.

[@MadCityModern]

Love that you noticed the typewriter

Dang I can’t believe how much education I get by watching your videos. Thank you Barry

[@shaynabrowning9681]

Beautiful work! My mind is blown too because I never knew you could reverse clamps to gently pull pieces apart. 😲Thank you for all you do and the care and time you put into your work.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Shayna!

[@ednaalegria8710]

Love the metal ice cube tray! So interesting to see how you use the different sanding blocks (I didn’t know they existed 😳). I learn something new from every one of your videos. Your love and appreciation for these pieces is evident in the meticulous way you restore them. Thank you for sharing.

[@MadCityModern]

One of my favorite parts of the vid

[@WobblyBiped]

Beautiful work, as always, Barry. My father made much of our furniture in the 1950-70s, so we had few commercial pieces. Lane used to sell miniature "hope chests," and I've inherited a few of them from my grandmother and great-grandmother. These Acclaim tables are the ultimate eye candy, and I can't wait to see more of them in your subsequent videos. Thank you for all the time and TLC that go into your projects!

[@MadCityModern]

I can't wait to discuss more about the hope chests

[@tinydancer7426]

Oh yes. The Lane mini cedar hope chest. It was a tradition that girls received a gift certificate from a local furniture store in there senior year of high school. Mine came from from M Shaivitz & Sons, Inc in Baltimore City. I got mine in 1968 (fall of my senior year) and it is in the same condition as when I received it. It went to college with me, when my son was in his teens I let him use it to keep "stuff" in, then took it back from him when I discovered that the "stuff" he wanted it for was cigarettes (big NOPE there), and I have had it since. Love my little Lane chest. I often wonder how many, if any, of my classmates still have theirs at all. Wow, I just did the math .... my chest is 54 years old. Unfortunately, Lane did not put a manufacturing date on those chests. Rats. It would be fun to know when it was "born".

[@keith4936]

Thanks!

[@MadCityModern]

Wow! Thank you Keith! Barry

[@janeyhazelwood9894]

Hello Barry I'm so excited to here you're doing a series on Lane pieces. As I live in Virginia I have been to the Lane factory & showroom in Altavista. Growing up we had these pieces in our home. They are timeless pieces of furniture. I still own a Lane hope chest. Thank you for doing a series on this. :)

[@MadCityModern]

This comment made my day. So there is actually a showroom? I'll be visiting that area next month

[@janeyhazelwood9894]

The Lane Plant in Altavista closed in 2001, but they have a museum. I read some interesting facts on the Lane Co. on the internet. I'm sorry that you won't get to see the plant or show room.

[@That_Girl_7_11]

I know nothing about Lane Acclaim Furniture other than it's beautiful. I love it when you start to put the last coat of finish on the wood, that's when it really brings out the colour and shines! Stunning, just Stunning! Thanks Barry again from showing us how to restore gorgeous pieces of old furniture.

[@MadCityModern]

My favorite part also

[@cheryl2103]

I'm always so excited when I see you've dropped a new vid :) I could watch and listen to you for hours... Please say that I'm not the only one that is so in the moment that I blow the screen when you are sanding, lol.

[@cpearson7372]

This is exciting news! Some people will wonder why I get excited over furniture restoration, and some other people (Barry, and our band, over here) will Tottttttallllly, "get it!" :) Right, folks?

[@MadCityModern]

I totally get it : )

[@donnerpartyofone2723]

Perfect timing. I recently bought an Acclaim end table at a thrift store for $22.48 (senior day)! I haven’t refinished furniture for years but am retired now and couldn’t pass this up. Very good condition and the finish appears original, but flaky. Sanding the top might be all it needs but I’m not sure how to finish it since it isn’t part of a pair. I’m sure I’ll find the answer in this series. Love your channel and never miss an episode.

[@jamestongas3554]

Nice job Barry. I have a set of these as well which I need to get back to restoring. They were painted the god awful turquoise. I agree with one of the previous commenters the difference in contrast between the two woods should be a lot more subtle. But it's a matter of taste if you restoring them. I also like the sharp contrast but the purees will use more muted shade between the two woods so there's not as much contrast. Just a matter of taste at that point. Looking forward to the other restorations on the lane furniture pieces. 👍

[@MadCityModern]

Excellent feedback. I've actually refinished several others much darker for the reasons you mentioned. I wanted to try several different finishes to truly appreciate the ones I am most drawn to

[@MadCityModern]

Been using the hvlp gun more with these pieces. I like a more professional finish but am not a huge fan of the way it hides the contrast, even if that is the way they did it in the factory. What are your thoughts on the finishes you've applied to your own pieces? Hope you see the vid with 5 different finishes on the other channel and offer feedback

[@MadManRestorations]

@@MadCityModern I'll have to check it out. Just confused why there's different channels.

[@MadCityModern]

The other channel was actually created for restoring all of my grandfather's old tools. KZbin puts your channel into categories so it didn't make sense to do tool Restorations on a furniture channel. I only added the lane table video because it wasn't actually a restoration project. More of a test for finding the right finishes for future projects

[@That70sChannel]

I think I mentioned it here when I bought ita month or so ago. I bought a 1967 Lane sweetheart chest and inside it had a brochure still hanging from a string inside. It listed the various Lane product lines including the Acclaim line. I don't know how to post pictures; I put a really quick video on my channel. It seems like if you can upload a video I should be able to upload a picture but it doesn't seem to work.

I missed where you left the medical field. It’s absolutely NO surprise to me, if you are someone that enjoys people, helping, and genuinely care. You are caught in a nightmarish Hell where you know you will never escape. When you enjoy others and respect, value your mental health. Having to work days with administration is total insanity. It borders on NEVER allowing anyone to know you prefer not dealing with a needless power struggle. Where the desk, chair warming, hateful shift jockeys, demanding shift supervisors, dark overlords, soon catch on. If you are single or don’t have children, you find every holiday belongs to those who do. Thanksgiving being one of the Best holidays ever. Becomes an acute pain leverage.

[@marymurphy1238]

I need to watch all these videos. I just inherited a set of end tables and a coffee table that definitely need some refinishing. My question is can I use just the restore a finish as a first attempt to clean up the piece? I am scared to totally remove the finish and sand it since it’s made of veneer and I’m new to the refinishing process.
