The reason I enjoy your channel... you're real! What a great job on this piece, Barry!

So the prices are correct? I saw adds from Temu, but it looked too cheap to be true. I'll have a look. Just like you I like to have a balance between good quality and afordable prices.

Hey Barry, Temu has a controversial reputation. Many of their manufacturers use child labor and there are also concerns that Temu exploits users' personal data information. I understand that if one is on a tight budget that we have to shop wisely. However, I think we also have to consider what goes behind the products we buy. My father (a machinist and tool & die maker) always told me to buy the best tools that you can afford. That advice served me well over the years. I have tools that have lasted me for decades. Over the years, I also foolishly bought cheap stuff that ended up failing and needed replacing so I ended up paying more in the long run that if I had just bought quality tools as I could afford them. Just food for thought..... Thanks for your videos.

Hi Barry, it’s good that you review tools etc for other users. But the comments here, vary so much, from very negative, way up to very positive! I’m glad I don’t have to use any and have to choose!

Thank you for the review, Temu is often hit and miss. But I have been happily surprised on several occasions.

This is my first time watching your videos .. your love for the pieces and process is evident. Who ever wrote your dialogue is very prolific! A most enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing!

Great video and review. This will be helpful to those working in a beginner budget.

Tiger Oak is a pretty amazing grain. This was a nice, small project that turned out really cute!

Barry, why? Temu is modern human slavery on steroids. That $40 you saved could’ve easily come at the cost of another human being’s life. For what? A hobby? So you can afford to go out to dinner another time this week? I hope this weighs on your conscience as you seem to be a good person. I’m appalled and disappointed that you took on a sponsorship from them. This is no longer a channel I can support.

Salut Barry tu as fait un excellent travail comme toujours c'est un très beau meuble je te félicite et remercie de partager votre savoir-faire et expérience, bonne semaine 👍👍👍👍👍

I absolutely love the way this dresser turned out. With an old mirror over it, it would go in any room of the house with similar colored finish.

Good to know that you are stocking so called community spaces with slave labor. I thought better of you, especially with your background. Turns out you are just another slave proponent. Might as well recruit people for The Line.

You’ve totally lost the beauty of the wood. It looks very…..useful.

Team sells lots of counterfeit products.

I bought a few tools from Temu and like them very much

No, Barry, no! I'm in Temu rehab right now 😮

Thanks for reviewing budget friendly tools. I love that there’s a community area for tools to give folks a chance to use them. 👏

I appreciate the honest reviews, Barry. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Barry, I really like all you videos, this included. I have been looking for a sander and I have been wondering how TEMU really works. So I just bought the sander. Thank you for getting us users this offer. Please just keep doing what you do. Thank you again.

Downloading their app on your phone and agreeing to their terms gives them access to all your data. Huge security risk

Temu just sells shit, the only thing they exploit are their customer info and credit cards. They are a scam. Buy something from them and you screw yourself

I’ve bought from Temu. Some stuff comes direct from the manufacturers and some is better quality than others. I’ve many “bits” to add to my better quality machines. I’ve also bought some Makita compatible garden tools. They’ve been just as long lasting as the original Makita tools - infact on looking inside some well known makes they use the same “cheap-Chinese” components.

I've read a few things about that company, but I haven't done any research into their business practices. I trust your integrity though, Barry, so your endorsement carries some weight. I will still do my due diligence, but I might consider their products in the future. Also, I'm really enjoying seeing so many videos from you lately.

Dont you think you should guard your information from the cheap tools country?

It's very thoughtful of you to donate tools to your community work space. Thank you.

I know you need to cater to your market but how horrible that no one would appreciate the beautiful original finish. had to skip to the end to get the pain over with.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Cheap tools or high end tools, I know we can count on you for an honest evaluation.

Sponsoring a slave company, nice move next you'll be sponsored by better help u money grabbing ahole u just lost subscriber not that you'll care

Barry, i regularly buy from temu, nothing wrong with it. Most items we buy anywhere else is coming from the same place, china, look at its label.

Please stop using Temu. They exploit workers and create a lot of pollution. If something is that cheap somebody is paying a heavy price. It might not be you, it might be the slave labor they use to keep prices artificially cheap or it might be the unethical business practices they use or it might be the environment paying the price. They have also been called into question over serious cyber security issues. Please look up this brand more and re-evaluate your partnership with this brand. I understand wanting to save money and I don't mind that but please consider other options.

Hi Barry I’ve been buying some tools from temu as I like to try and restore old tools. I’m 58 and haven’t been doing this long.. I like your restore videos

I've bought a lot of stuff from Temu, and only one didn't work. I got a fast refund, and was told I didn't have to return yje item.

I have purchased a few items from temu. Most have been resin pour related, but I did get a mini food grinder, a fluff pill shaver, and a off market dremel with accessory set. I haven tested them out yet, with exception of the mini food grinder, and a leveling table and molds for resin, so hopefully the dremel will work as well as those items.

Real talk, I've been buying tools from temu for a hot minute, I work in construction and I have been able to find really good deals on stuff like floor levelers, sand paper, head lamps ect. Thanks again Mr. Barry God bless you.

Buy cheap, pay twice.

I use temu alot , glad things worked for you 😊

But they don't have Pyrex. 😂

I've found Temu to be a great place for pretty good quality goods for a lot less!

My grandma gave me this piece with a mirror. All original wood grain! I was 20 years old and didn't know what I had😶 Bad me

I love natural wood grain. I also really love the artistic work on the paint. I would leave the grain AND then add the artistic embellishment… for myself. I think it is like adding salt to sweets - it really accentuates the beauty of the wood. Your work is so enjoyable to watch.

When I was a young teen, we remodeled our 100 year old farmhouse. On the evenings my brother had basketball practice (Dad never missed a game), I would help my dad work on the house. He taught me to lay subflooring and flooring, run electrical wire, use a chalk line, hang sheetrock and doors, how to overcome challenges (none of the floors were level and none of the corners were a right angle), and most importantly, that any job worth doing is worth doing well. And he taught me that "a straight nail won't go in a crooked hole." Oddly enough, words to live by. He passed almost 30 years ago. i still miss him every day.

Sem anistia!

Stunning

Barry, have you checked out the lasers that remove old paint and varnish and do it almost instantly? The lasers are very expensive, but their handiwork is astounding to see.

I’ve got a dresser that was my Dad’s when he was younger. He’ll be 92 in August. It’s made of tiger oak and it has four drawers. It looks a lot like yours, but it’s stained. I absolutely love It. Do you have any idea what they cost new? I think you did a great job on yours!!

I was a baby in 1957. I have my parents' collection of antiques, so most of my furniture is older than I am. The two pieces that mean the most to me are my great-great-grandmother's chair that my mom remembered from her childhood and a corner bookcase my mom had custom made sometime around 1950. It's over six feet tall with large shelves and I remember it standing in my grandparents' living room from when I was a child. I wouldn't take anything for either.

You made out like a bandit at that price! Simp0ly beautiful.
