I purchased this old mid-century buffet or partial hutch for $25. It had been painted yellow by the previous owner. In this video, I will remove the old paint with the carbide scraper, detailed scrapers, and dental tools. I enjoy sharing my furniture restoration journey, and whether it's a full restoration or just a refinishing, I trust you will enjoy what I have to share. Thank you for all your support. Barry

[@christinebrennan4484]

My favorite...Forrest Gump

[@maryalicemaca1266]

Another gem!

[@Rosalind-n4z]

This is my first time to your channel, your work is impeccable!!! I will definitely be back, you've also peaked my interest in seeing the video of the piece at the end. A great big thank you for the referral to Birch Living. I've wanted a new mattress for a long time, but couldn't find anything that match the quality of what I had. I am grateful because I need the support of a good mattress. Also,❤the added information at the end!!!

[@wendy833]

I really liked the shape of this sideboard. Thank goodness you removed the school bus yellow.

[@likeitsgolden26]

Barry, you are the Bob Ross of the Millennium. Your video presentation and voice are so soothing.😊

[@finalvoyage35]

I second that❤ !!! I was thinking the same thing 😊 he has that soothing tone of voice and artistic flair.

[@lindabunce5133]

It's splendor has been returned!

[@carlosdelagarza8983]

Walnut and Forest Gump. The brass goat stumped me...😂

[@thomascabral8443]

nice yellow but nicer grain revealed , thank you Barry,,,

[@timothyalberts5512]

Movie is Forest Gump. ( I worked with Tom on " Philadelphia " ) Another masterful job!

[@pattymccallen]

Your music, your voice & your whole approach to a piece of furniture brings PEACE … thank you! (Of course I didn’t get those hidden things! In a good way tho I was daydreaming!)

[@Og-Judy]

Waving hi from far north side Milwaukee County. 👋🏻👋🏻 Grew up in the 1950s-1960s with a carpenter/wood working dad who had a rather large workshop in our basement. Thanks for bringing back memories. That turned out really nice.🤗👍

[@1953lili]

The hardware looks like the same as on my federalist desk/card table. I refinished it after my dad died and it was cherry or mahogany. Thank you for this gorgeous grain reveal!

[@Annaklaranna]

Sorry I missed the live. Yellow! How fabulous 💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@Somewhereintime22]

I love this piece and of course you refinished it to perfection. I have a vintage Duncan Fife dining room table and a Duncan Fife sofa that I inherited from my grandmother. This buffet looks like the same era…so maybe it’s a Duncan Fife style? In any case you definitely gave it back it’s dignity. Before it looked like it had been hit by a school bus.

[@danielkoher1944]

😆🚌 💯%

[@SisterShirley]

My guess was Duncan Fife also. That sideboard, buffet, etc, is a Classic Beauty.

[@stephenburns3678]

Hello . Great job.

[@marieb9926]

I love to the videos when you strip paint. This is simply gorgeous.

[@carolynledford6484]

WOW! I have no other words to describe the results!!!

[@fraserwrobb3075]

Another job well done! Looking forward to the upcoming projects you mentioned. A Barbie themed dresser? That should be interesting!

[@christineyoung7129]

Hullo from Sussex UK just came upon your Chanel how interesting to learn about trees as well as the furniture you restore love the content in your videos 😊

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel! Barry

[@pennymoreland9602]

I love the buffet, so so pretty! Your workmanship shows in your reveals! Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful ❤

[@lyrieth8833]

Braveheart, Forest Gump, and did I also see the movie Rudy playing? I only found the goat once and I did guess the wood right! This turned out just wonderfully!

[@tjdeleon13]

Omg love this piece. The grain in the wood is so beautiful.

[@magdalenaprzybylska1074]

Hello from London. You put on Forrest Gump, my favorite movie. I love watching your videos which are one of a kind and your voice calms me down. I admire your work, every piece of furniture you restored looks amazing.

[@jrickelmann07]

I thoroughly enjoy your content. It’s like a hobby I can simply meditate to. I appreciate you.

[@tonipope3164]

A very stately piece!

[@shawnataylor7998]

So,so much better than that yellow paint.. beautiful ❤

[@ceeyaaa]

Nice piece now that you have refinished

[@Wally943]

Beautiful result, as always. Thank you for the additional info on identifying trees and how the various cutting methods result in different grain patterns. So much to learn!

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

Your work is always stellar. But the effort you put into making quality videos is a cut above others that do the same thing

[@cherylacampora670]

Barry, It's gorgeous! You are a master refinisher!!

[@nicogerben]

it's Forrest Gump

[@1minigrem]

3 subscribers and one video after 15 years, seriously? Who are you calling Forrest Gump! Troll

[@nicogerben]

@@1minigrem ???????????

[@nicogerben]

@@mytimebox1 it is the answer to Barry's question, 'which movie is on the tv in the background?'

[@nicogerben]

@@1minigrem it is the answer to Barry's question, 'which movie is on the tv in the background?'so who is the troll now

[@sharontrujillo]

Ha...dude. it was my first thought too...they're only showing RESPECT for this Artist..that's all!!!! 😮

[@marymarshall5134]

Unmistakable Forest Gump. Thanks for another very informative video.. great work

[@ericmhinkle6003]

This buffet was built in the early 1920s right around 1925

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you for this

[@hollysterrett104]

Another fabulous makeover!!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you! 😊

[@thriftcarter408]

What a joy watching you work. By the way, I loved your beard you had at the beginning.

[@mpulleyscott]

Very fresh look 😊

[@heavenlymorsels]

I love watching you breathe new life into pieces! Stunning ❤ Also listening to you narrate your process is like a form of “grounding” for me - so peaceful calming and down to earth 😊

[@Bella-gj6wc]

Forest Gump is the movie playing in the background.

[@MadCityModern]

Yes

[@nozzle28]

Great video. Forest Gump was the movie. I saw the goat only once at 8:04 and you gave us the walnut. I look forward to your videos. Great stuff thanks!

[@riosoma]

Beautiful!

[@dianahampton8768]

Thank you for another great video, your voice is very soothing.

[@ljclo8413]

Why did they paint this? Your finished work absolutely shines!

[@spawnsmom9386]

What a transformation. That buffet went from the yellow submarine to a beautiful buffet that would look great in any home.

[@smokypoo]

First time here, greetings from France! That buffet is just sooo beautiful and timeless. 💖 Loved that last part about the trees😊

[@Midwesterner]

Beautiful job! Very nice piece. I saw Forrest Gump in the background, never did find the little goat.

[@wendyhenschel.]

this is a lovely piece all cleaned up. i am not a yellow fan but if/when i do use a yellow it is usually the antique mustard yellow color

[@mka46479]

Beautiful piece, love the natural finish. 👍

[@lillywiggles8264]

New subscriber 🤗Love you take time & don't rush through these projects. Beautiful work😊 Watching you work & giving us lessons on the type of trees is Very Interesting! Thank you😃

[@FloridaClay]

Another great rescue!

[@patriciamay638]

Thanks Barry. That was fun

[@SallyBuskey]

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

[@RobertLewisSandersonJr]

Sir Barry,That Was A Very Bright Yellow. My Momma Gad A Cabinet,Similiar 2 This 1. Those Tiny Screw Drivers R Very Handy! That Stain Looked A Bit Dark,But The Outcome Matched Perfectly. I Need 2 Get A Carbide Scraper. Looking 4w Ward 2 Ur Next,Restoration.

[@paulrward]

Excellent work! First, the Hinges are Stanley Sweetheart marked, which dates them from 1920-1935. . Next, the wood is NOT Walnut. It is Cuban Mahogany. Very rare, and now practically extinct. These types of beautiful Mahogany pieces are the special targets of the Shabby Chic Bitches and their paintbrushes! Thank you for saving this piece and restoring it to it's former glory.

[@sheepek84]

Hello from Poland found your channel few days ago and i love your videos very informative 😊

[@MadCityModern]

Hello. Thank you for the support from Poland

[@confusedandsleepless]

I love your dedication to your craft. I also enjoy seeing all of your vintage items - the 195Os fridge, the antique fan, the vintage electronics. If I visited, I could spend hours admiring everything. It's great that you use it instead of it just sitting around collecting dust. Things really were made to last "back in the day"! Question - what is the Art Deco candelabra looking thing to the right of your antique fan? I've never seen anything quite like it before. I guess it's an early electric lamp?

[@eaglespirit3052]

You never disappoint, Barry. Beautiful job! You should be a teacher. You are so patient, and thorough. Cheers!

[@VioletJoy]

I believe he is a teacher here on his channel. 😉

[@RHMoore-bo6dt]

I have a similar piece but in the center there are four large drawers. Beautiful piece but your grain on the top is much nicer. Enjoy!

[@richardpfefier1171]

Beautiful work on that piece!!!

[@stevenpeach6971]

Looks gorgeous. I love the design of the piece

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yoooooooo Barry!!! Man oh Man it came out super DOPE!! Fantastic choice on the stain. Thank you for the lesson in the Tiger Oak. Always enjoybale, hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out again!!!!

[@maidendragonfly]

I am watching this video with great interest. It makes my heart happy to see you restore this gorgeous piece. I have two pieces of cherrywood furniture that were my grandmas that match this style so closely - a rectangular china closet, and a leather topped lamp table. I bought a rounded corner china closet 30 years ago that matches. My sister has the matching buffet. Then shazam! I found a desk this week on the side of the road that matches them! It with three leatger panels on the top with gold filigree around the edges.

[@jakimcmurdo4810]

Who knew what was hiding underneath that yellow dresser ! 😁🇬🇧❤️

[@janejdough2230]

So elegant!

[@davidlewis492]

Well done mate.

[@kayerin5749]

lovely work. Couldn't find the little goat, too small for my eyes; I believe the movie you're playing is "A Mile in his shoes" which I think of as your kind of movie😊

[@MASI_forging]

Great work as always. You did it very well. 👍👍

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Hi Barry. Good to see you’re still at it. I wonder how your shop stall is going. (I don’t do instagram or Facebook etc.) Well, I hope. I love to watch you and listen to you as you work on these fine restorations! You can turn a piece of rubbish into a work of art! So refreshing to see old pieces renewed to perfection! I recognised Forrest Gump straight off! It’s my favourite movie! Sorry, but I was too busy watching you to find the little brass figurine. I kinda think that, with all your followers, you will not need to worry about your bills now. Good on ya! You’re the best wood craftsmen out there! And you’ve proved it again with this piece. See you again soon. ❤️🦘

[@fredrobinson6990]

Beautiful redo!

[@kristijensen7457]

13:55 I truly wish I lived close enough for you to refurbish my mother’s Tiger oak three piece set, chest of drawers, dresser with mirror, makeup table with mirror. They’re beautiful pieces I would love to have restored for her. She cherishes them.

[@kristijensen7457]

15:16 I live in Florida, if you’re ready for a vacation I’m ready for a price quote!

[@yvonnebooker8864]

Brilliant restoration! 👏🏻🌟♥️

Beautiful work and results!

[@bambipartita6520]

Great job Barry. The show that's playing on the TV as far as gump. I cannot find that little item. I'll keep looking though😊

[@leewood729]

Movie: Braveheart (2:15), Forrest Gump (3:48) Wood: Walnut (4:27) (Bookmarked walnut veneer, as it turned out...) Goat: 8:04, lower left hand corner (maybe) 8:40, in one of the left side vertical desk cubbies? I can't believe I missed this video when it came out four months ago! What a lovely piece, nice save.

[@rgrgeorge]

Movie is braveheart, then Forrest Gump. Messed up on the wood guess. Saw one brass figure on the desk at 8:40, and one on the shelf above the desk.

[@irishheart4768]

Looks amazing, great work ❤

[@theaudiobookreader]

Braveheart on the first television and Forest Gump on the second television 😊

[@catherinepalmer4596]

Thank you for explaining about tiger oak. I once refinished a mantel made of it. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stripped off the dark, dark layers of lacquer. It was stunning! I love your buffet. I wish you lived in Florida. We find amazing furniture down here.

[@monicapombo1582]

Hola es un trabajo hermoso lo que realizo hoy lo felicito y le dejo un saludo desde argentina

[@doyeworrell1680]

Thank you Barry, this was so beautiful when you finished the buffet. I have always wanted one of these, I think it’s a classic that never goes out of style. I’m sure you will have no trouble selling this lovely piece 😊

[@Alabastrodeamor]

Nice! ❤

[@dvdpatrick]

YOU CAN DO IT WATER BOY RUN FORREST RUN

[@terrileyda5346]

Such a classic piece! Restored so beautifully! Well done!

[@mellymel1100]

I guessed right on the wood. So is the liquid barkeeper's friend more abrasive? PS. you are amazing!

[@stevenmiller4254]

Beautiful work once again Barry! Your attention to detail is epic. My grandmother had a buffet near identical to that school bus yellow treasure. I'm pleased to see you selected the deeper color gel coat stain and shellac finish. It's a gorgeous classic look for the bookmatched walnut veneers. How fortunate that all of the hardware was still present when you acquired that buffet. I look forward to seeing the out of state project, and the Barbie dresser 🤩. Steven Miller

[@elisetaragnat7663]

Superbe, bravo !

[@nazufani]

8:06 found the little brass guy 🙃🌻

[@tonyandrea7613]

Forrest Gump, goat at 8:06 behind you on surface, goat at 8:39 desk cubby. I agree walnut.

[@markvachon7131]

Nice piece of furniture Barry just wondering what you do with all
