My name is Barry and I live in Madison, Wisconsin. My passion for restoring furniture goes beyond a mere hobby; it's a heartfelt commitment to sustainability and preservation. Each restoration project is a labor of love, a tribute to the craftsmanship of bygone eras, and a personal challenge to restore not just the physical piece but also its history

Old Yeller?
I lived in Madison, WI and it was nicknamed Mad City. Is that why you named your KZread channel Mad City Modern? Great job on that furniture piece 🙂.
Bravo
Joyous again to watch and listen...it was an intriguingly awful piece to start with!...dgp/uk
Barry, my only suggestion is to make a dust collection box around your router. If don’t then all you’ll have a huge dust collector unsuitable for storage.
Barry! the way you respect the sentiments of each project, that's what makes me love your work!. thank you for another great save!.
What a lovely tribute to the old owner. The piece turned out wonderful! It reminds me of a dresser I had in my bedroom at my childhood home.
Beautiful!
Such beautiful raised garden beds, the community should be pleased with them, also the fact they will be growing their own plants, nice job Barry
@MadCityModern thank you for speaking...you have a soothing voice. Your romantic view of your projects comes through every time. On an alternate note I noticed the flag on top of your fridge...sorry for your loss.
@madcitymodern I'm conflicted on this...normally I'm a "don't paint wood" kinda gal...but I liked the swirls on the top. But I also liked the end results. Either way you always do a good job. Jay over on Flipping Drawers has a really cool sandblasting vacuum...could it have been used on this or would it damage the veneer? (Trying to learn more about veneer). Btw...you clean up nicely! How did you not get your dress clothes messed up?)
Schön das dieser Mann so liebevoll diese alten Schätze restauriert❤
I appreciate the review of the Temu products. It's great to know whether they are worth a shot.
I kinda disagree with how you took all the patina off of the metal things but the finished product still looks great!
PS: I find myself smiling when I watch you work.
I prefer natural, but from a gardening point of view the red really sets off the foliage. I would choose a white geranium for the dark one.
I’m a newbie to this channel and I would LOVE to have this beautiful man as my neighbor I would be buying things off him all the time😉
I enjoyed EVERY SECOND of this video❤
Beautiful. I’m excited to see the new drawer pulls you put on the drawer.
Wow, what a gorgeous wood grain.
Wow, I'm really surprised it turned out looking so good! Cannot believe the seller thought they refinished it lol.
And no drainage holes? I have a deck with three ROTTED flowerboxes attached to the rail. I did not build it, I bought it. After the third year I noticed the sag. By the fourth year the bottoms were falling away. I discovered the next spring the flowerboxes laying on the driveway. I examined them then realized they had planted directly into the dirt filled boxes with no holes for drainage. Recipe for disaster. NE Ohio.
Loved this finish ❤ Great work and respect you have for natures woodlands.
😢 This was just touching. That looked like it was beyond repair. Your talent comes from the heart. Total respect to you ❤
Absolutely stunning and looks like its worth thousands. Great job. 👍
Beautiful ❤
Your channel is my therapy ❤
I am the proud owner of a Lane hope chest, given to me upon graduation from Eighth Grade. It was given to my mother (now 86 years old) for her same milestone. When I can, I plan to get mine refinished to restore it to better condition. Thanks for sharing this beautiful example of what is possible! You do meticulous, exquisite work!
Why bother refinishing for a profit ( aka KZread views) when by the looks of your workshop ( space and tools) you can make custom made pieces for true profit.
Another remarkable Transformation...I could quite happily watch you work for Hours on end!...thank you...dgp/uk
Beautiful job!!
It is always a Joy o watch you achieve your Goal...this piece is perfect example...thank you...dgp/uk
I love how you made it look nicer but let it continue to identify as a farm table. Now the original builder lives on as well ❤
Barry..these are just beautiful. What makes them even more special is the tribute they represent. Your talent and your heart are immense. So sorry for your loss. May you and your special someone enjoy these pieces for years to come.
Ive got three tv stands and night stand that i built in the same stlyle as that little table the two tv tables are identical so theres only one video for those the tv stand i built for my dad has its own playlist as well as the night stand none of my videos are very good but i hope whoever reads this cimes by and checks the channel out im currently working on a couple of cedar chests then ill be doing a hawken rifle stock refinish well as much as youtube will allow me show
Watching from Scotland. Going through chemotherapy and I just want to say, your channel has helped me chill throughout the hardest time of my life. Much appreciated and great job as always. ❤
I absolutely love this finish. Remember you won't please everyone as people have different tastes and not all good. You will always have negative comments even after completing a masterpiece. Unfortunately, people just like to moan and be negative as thats social media. I think you are very talented. Keep up the great work ❤
You do excellent work. You also kinda remind me of the mythical Giga Chad due to your beard stubble
Wow.. beautiful transformation!
First thing all the way to the top floor, first thing you put your habds on was a metal kind of rubbish price tag, that’s when i switched off. I thought oops wrong clip, like dumpster diving. You’ll have to better then that
Aww I really love this, and it's so cute that you kept that frame of the stickers.
Beautiful work Barry, really nice result. Thank you for another great video!
Way too many ad interruptions!
Great job! However, it looks to me slightly unfinished, I would have added some modern touch, like a small element of design. No criticism, just a suggestion! And let's not forget that any comment, even negative helps to develop this channel🙃
It would not hurt to remove the holes on the countertop
I loved all the boxes but my favorite is the red stain. I also loved your vegetable signs. You could sell those- I’d buy them for my herb garden! Great video- thank you🥰
I like the natural beauty of wood so the second box would be my choice, but they were all lovely.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful
I was pretty disappointed to find that kind of wood underneath, but it still looks 100x better :)
