    I love Steve's stream of consciousness ramblings when he's working. Talks about shoe construction, shoe materials, watches, audience reactions to something, whatever.
    ASMR? Never heard of it, no tingles here, other than seeing a real craftsman work and the wonderful final result. Almost suspenseful to see how he does it.

    I reupholstered a sofa for Alden Shoe. It was for the employee lounge. I had know idea they made these boots and was a high end shoe company when I went. I saw the display case in the lobby and knew then. I also knew Brockton Ma. had a huge shoe industry back when and my father actually worked in the industry. I've seen patterns of a carboard type material with steel edging. Cut by hand with a knife it seems before automated cutters.

    Someone else started this video and I came in late to it. I said, “Is this the new Bedo’s video?” and he, ”How’d you know it was new?” Which forced me to admit that I am obsessed with watching Steve’s bruised nail bed as it grows out. There are other Alden Indy videos but they don’t have the black fingernail. Pure baller, Bedo.

    Steve, I've seen all of your videos from the past few years. These might be my favorite!! These two pairs of shoes are a great example of why your job is so important. They were worn out/not properly fixed and you made them brand new again. Shoes are meant to be worn, and your good craftsmanship keeps them going for many more years. Outstanding job.

    Your work is incredible and I like the use of leather in place of reconstituted leather board. I worked in the fiber industry for 38 years and it is possible to exceed the performance of natural products with engineered materials. It also help recycle material’s that would end up in a landfill.

    "Damp water? As apposed to DRY water?" LOL You KNOW I was gonna give you grief if you didn't give YOUR Indies a little Bick 4 love too! I THOUGHT I was seeing some AE Hamiltons in one of those shots. I snagged a pair of those in calf skin (black), natural welt/misole, and blue Dainites for about $150. Slather the Bick 4 all over the insides and after it soaks in, cedar shoe trees. Break-in was a BREEZE since the leather became more supple after conditioning.
    I really like that extra piece of canvas to span the gemming, not too crazy about the fiberboard though. Love that notion of a couple of stitches to the inside portion at the top of the tongue. I've wondered about that myself. The devil's in the details, you do a good job of being devil's advocate. LOL Well done Kemosabe ! Both pairs are lookin' good after your touch to 'em.
