Ep. 17 This Old Dresser was Trashed

I purchased this 1960's Mid-Century Ward 6 Drawer Low Boy Dresser for $20 from Facebook Marketplace. This piece has mostly Walnut veneer with Elm trim. The top of the dresser is Laminate. I will be adding a Walnut veneer to the top of this dresser, and finishing the piece with General Finishes Nutmeg Gel Stain. This project will be donated for a local charity auction to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County. Thank you for supporting the channel.

[@chillfactory9000]

I have depression which gives me horrible insomnia, and lately I've been watching your videos to sleep. It's soothing watching someone clean up furniture and it definetly helps me sleep.

[@MadCityModern]

I mention this often in my videos. So glad this has helped! Barry

[@totalblu]

You’ve videos are getting me through my 12 hour shifts at the hospital

[@MadCityModern]

Wow. This is amazing!

[@lauriberkman8954]

As a therapist I usually recommend my folks change their mindset from striving for perfection, because perfection is not attainable. I encourage them to strive for excellence which is possible. So although the old timer at the wood store had a good idea, I would recommend tweaking it just a bit. It seems to reduce the stress and self criticism people experience. I love your videos and find your thoughts on community and life in general very uplifting and relaxing. I will probably never refinish any piece of furniture myself, but I’ll keep watching you do it! Take care and be well.

[@MadCityModern]

This is great feedback. Thank you for this support! Treasured. Barry

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Laurie, in my culture, we say that one cannot create perfection. Only the Creator can. Whether that be God, Mother Nature or something else is up to you. Master weavers and other artists purposely put in a “flaw” to assure their work isn’t “perfect.” I find that really comforting. I’m a Coast Salish Native in the Pacific NW. And yes, I always try to be perfect. Lol

[@danielclaeys7598]

As a teaching artist, I tell all my students that thinking can be overrated. It's better to learn from mistakes than to fear trying.

[@emanuelavecchi7433]

I'm always frustrated as I'm never satisfied with what I produce (knitting, embroidery, sewing, painting, carving, creating things with whatever I find in nature, working with epoxy, etc...). I cannot forgive me any mistake. And as people appreciate what I make, well, I think they are telling lies. I should follow your advice, as a therapist, but I'm not able 😮 I'm not a rational person, emotions and sensations has been guiding me in my life. Anyway handicraft cannot and mustn't be perfect, that's the value a handmade object adquires.

[@keithhaggard323]

What a wonderful restoration. Though Ward is easy to find, there is a reason they have been in production for almost 75 years, quality of construction. Someone was lucky to nab this at an auction for charity . I liked the nutmeg stain on the walnut veneer , it elevated the warmth of this piece.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you, Keith. Barry

You are quickly becoming a strong force in the KZbin restoration world. I greatly admire that you do your best to support your local market I try to do the same when possible. Many friends have been made that way. Let us know how the charity event goes.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Melanie. I learn so much from your channel. When I try something that I've learned from you, I will try to remember to give you a shoutout. I have several vintage keys to restore, and the first thing I thought was, soak them in a ziplock bag overnight

[@Christin5554]

You do not have to explain to anybody the kind of money you make on those pieces. You create wonderful pieces of real furniture, no plastic throw away junk, and you get paid for what your work is worth to people. If you make a million a month or 100, it is nobodys business. Try to buy quality furniture today and see what you pay for it. You make out of old quality furniture that some people didn't appreciate and made master pieces out of them, pieces you should be proud of. I am very proud of them and wish I had one special piece 😊. I enjoy watching and so do lots of people. Thanks for the video!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Cindy

[@mikehoncho6109]

Great job. I’m sure someone has mentioned, but when routing an outside edge, you should move the router counterclockwise and clockwise for an inside edge (like for a sink). Awesome job though!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you for sharing. I did another recent veneer application, this time working counterclockwise and it went much better. Thank you for this advice. If you have other suggestions, please let me know. Barry

[@cavemankent7488]

As a drywaller I approve this message

[@Sunnbuzz]

I came to say this, the bit should always be spinning away from the material. So as Mike said, when the Router is between you and the work, move from left to right (never go back in the direction you have just made a pass on) when you get to a corner continue "around" it. When the material is in the middle, as in you, the material then the router Move right to left - Mike will correct me If I'm wrong, I just learnt this about a year ago so I'm a novice too

[@elegantupgrades]

I just cracked up at the glove shot! Well done with the veneer, it turned great.

[@MadCityModern]

I've spent years perfecting that shot : ) can't let the skill go to waste.

“Cameraman has been reassigned” lol Working my way thru your videos. Love them.

Whoever gets this piece in the charity auction is one lucky recipient indeed. This turned out insane! I've never done veneer before and you made it look so easy to apply and trim with the right tools. Hooray for supporting local business too. I'm a big fan of our local Ace Hardware. Incredible job as always Barry!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I was excited to be part of a much bigger project. So many giants donating to that auction. I'm just the little guy : )

[@twitchankou8422]

Beautiful as always Barry. Can't believe you knocked your camera over haha I think it's important not to skip over too much of what's involved in flipping/restoration. There's a lot of misconception that what we do is easy. Have seen a lot of people attempt these things as a hobby and throw in the towel when they realized it's more than just throwing a coat of paint on. Thank you for your transparency

[@MadCityModern]

You are right! So much work goes into refinishing these pieces properly. The gopro has a solid case and gets knocked over often : ) Barry

Good observation that 75% of the work is prep work. I find that holds true in much of life. At least in my life, any project - whether professional or personal - is heavy on the prep end. Prep work often isn't fun or exciting, but it's what makes bigger payoffs possible. Great comment with universal application.

That change of the vernier was so nice, and you made it looking so easy, all others use heat and ironing and do not ask what else….I think that glue and that roller is enough! That routerbit seems a little bit dull or you move it in the wrong direction , never see so much overstand after the use of it.. but the result is that what count, and the result once again is a masterpiece of furniture that get touched from a master of craftsmanship! I like really what you do!

A piece of advice on the router...you want to account for the direct the blade is spinning. When trimming an outside edge go counter clockwise. Go clockwise if trimming inside an opening. You will get a much cleaner cut.
