What I enjoy the most about these "small" jobs is seeing how much can be repaired and refreshed instead of discarded and replaced. Dan is one of the most valuable assets for the future. One who knows how to repair, because this consume and discard lifestyle so many live is unsustainable.
I for one, could watch a multi repair vid of 45 minutes, Love the format and content, love the humour. And still no Coffee???? Well done Dan, another great video.
Hi David, I charge a similar price to other cobblers around the uk who offer premium work, however try to offer more Tring friendly prices for the regular town folk and the simple repairs 🙏
@@Dan_the_cobbler Thank you so much for answering! I watch your videos whilst living in Germany and forwarded one to my father in Michigan who was very very impressed with you. Cheers
Between all the varied repairs as well as filming (so many different set ups) and editing everything himself he must not have much downtime. The best part is you can tell he really loves his job and I love his silly sense of humour. What a lovely gent. He is to be protected at all costs.
This man is literally the most based Chad I’ve ever seen. He loves what he’s doing so much that he Dressed up like captain America and records himself fixing various items.
Watching all these videos there is one thing that stands out and i think everyone will agree with me and no its not how good looking he is haha even though that is very true! but its how much of a nice decent person Dan is :) i am so happy his channel is doing so well.
Wow, well impressed at how you eyeballed the hobnails, great job 👍 and the Ralph Lauren definitely looked better with black eyelets....you got me at trim her bush!! 😂😜🤣
@Alfreds Pariah NO WAY....oh my word, absolutely not what I was saying, 😳😳 all it meant was the cheeky comment made me laugh!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 (need to be careful with my comments!) 🤦♀️🤐
So with the Ralph Lauren Loafers I feel like customers are now coming up with the hardest stuff they can and seeing if you can do it ... and of course, you deliver, every time :)))
I’m just being honest here but I don’t think he did a very clean job finishing the stitching on those loafers. If they were mine I honestly wouldn’t be happy. Not to mention he added glue to the “perfect” designer loafer where there was no glue originally and it’s crooked.
do 1 video with no edits, basically a livestream of your shop from opening to closing and if it doesnt get more views than these edited ones then u can chose to never do it again. it would be nice to have a glimpse of the eu from over here in the usa
I’ve been taking the time to REALLY take a closer look at this guy from his hair down to his feet, and I’ve got to say THIS DUDE IS ONE HANDSOME MAN. Not that he’s not pursuing an honorable profession, but it seems so odd that such an outstandingly handsome obviously talented camera friendly personality would be stuck off in a small shoe and key-making shop. At the very minimum he should be a TV news or weather guy or something. Not only is he definitely “eye candy,” he has this very outstanding personality.
I've found from experience that this method has to constantly be redone as the ink obviously doesn't soak into the metal and gets worn off quite easily.
These repairs look great. Instead of completely removing the eyelets in the Ralph Lauren shoes, you could have used a gun oxidizing agent on either on both sides it's should turn them pretty damn black, and you wouldn't need to have risked damaging the leather by removing them. It's what the shoe shop I worked at did for requests like that.
Dan your videos are great, wether full length job specific or like this one. I‘ve always been intrigued by cobblers and handmade repairs. 17yrs in the biz and it shows! Heck of tradesman you are. Thanks for all your uploads.
Thank you very much Dan for this video! It’s always a pleasure to follow your high-quality artisanal work! You must be a descendant of the sons of Thor with your hammer always moving!!!🥰✌🍾🍻🌠🎈⚒💪💫
I met FLEXOFIL at Muscle Beach 3 summers ago . He usually works out at Gold’s in Venice with all of the celebrity juice heads . I heard he moved back to Australia because of stricter immigration laws . Thanks trump .
I’m so glad you finally had driving loafers on the channel. I wear them exclusively and always wondered how they could be repaired. We love your videos!!
Hobnails? These shoes were obviously well used. Why, where, and when are hobnails used in life these days? Google says they were used in the past by military officers etc. but are not recommended because they have poor traction on many surfaces. Also, thanks for another great video.
(sorry) this is the rest of my reply.,I'm not sure if I should have allowed her to see any of your videos. Just a word of caution to others. Blessings from New Orleans.
Sadly those loafers did not come out good at all. Stitching was all over the place, not straight as before the job. And not sure why so much glue was added. Seems the laces will be stuck there. I’d love to know the reaction of the owner.
Samuel Windsor shoes, I bought one pair, threw them in the bin after a week, complete rubbish, cheap leather and the nails from the heal stuck in my feet.
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen on your channel. It’s cool to see the everyday life of a skilled craftsman. I hope you do more of these types of videos.
You will notice that Dan is constantly monitored by RON! Ron runs a tight ship at the cobbler shop. I did a little research and came up with a reason why Dan is always alert and in top form when doing his cobblering. Dan suffers from something called Anatidaephobia which is “the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.” (Maybe more of a “fauxbia” than a phobia, but interesting to ponder, nonetheless.) REALLY DAN! Couldn't believe I found this online! LOVE your vids and cannot wait for another one. J
"The customer can go back to trimming her bush." Did you think you could just slide that one past us? 😉
I was looking for this comment 😂, and he said it so straight faced 😂.
Dan, Did you realise at the time? But then you didn't edit it ;) :) :) :)
@@cristinadelmoral1588 I'm pretty positive he knew. 😂
Haha came here to see if this was mentioned in the comments.
Wasn’t disappointed! 🤣
I think Matt black eyelets would look better if they even do such a thing.

The only thing wrong with this video is that it ended too quickly
That's what I was thinking
I surly wouldn’t mind a 45min video. I find them therapeutic. Lol.
@@petercontreras4411 or a verry long live stream of him just working in the shop
Agreed
Was thinking the same thing
“What would you like the collar to say, Sir?”
“Leather Daddy”
“You sure this is for a dog?”
“Actually, it’s for the pups ‘master’” 😂...
I think most people wont mind a video longer than 30 minutes actually :P
I love seeing lots of random jobs in a single video, even if it's something small as sharpening hedge trimmers.
Got to keep that bush trimmed.
"foxey" are you sure thats going on a dog?
A dominatrix, maybe?
That was my thought 😂, I think it’s a pet play collar 😂.

My Dad is curious as to how you figure out your prices when you are the only Cobbler in town.-
He'll keep it competitive with Timpson's as there's only one 10 minutes up the road from him.

@@Dan_the_cobbler Awesome! Good to hear, love the vids by the way 👍
After glancing at the U.K. tax code I'm sure Dan doesn't charge nearly enough to pay for his skill and time after feeding the government appetite.
@@Dan_the_cobbler Thank you so much for answering! I watch your videos whilst living in Germany and forwarded one to my father in Michigan who was very very impressed with you. Cheers
"trimming her bush" you cracked me up...
So hilarious 🤣🤣
I asked gasped when he said that ;)

Just going to get sticky, just rub my finger in there.
Why did no one mention that, but did about the bush. Haha.
Great job Dan, your commentary throughout all of your videos is incredibly entertaining. And thats just it, I find myself wanting to watch more. Lol.
Thanks Peter!

I love watching your videos. Please keep it up on new ones. You do a great job on all the shoes you work on too.
Thanks!
Really enjoy your videos .Good too see a young guy take up a trade and is really doing well .
I always enjoy your content, the small jobs are equally interesting.
Great vid Dan, showcasing all your varied skills.
“Trim her bush” !! Got me going that one!
Dan, please be careful with that stitching machine. It could cause you terrible damage!
Doing a video over thirty minutes every now and then would be pretty good imo, feels like a treat to see more of the job
I’ll watch your vids however long you present them!!!
SUPERFAN: That’s what we do!
I never tire of watching your videos Dan. You have a fantastic work ethic.
Very best wishes from Bonny Scotland
4:23” Hey Beavis,he said trimming her bush!!!” 👍
I think I would have taken a black sharpie and "painted" the eyelets.
I've found from experience that this method has to constantly be redone as the ink obviously doesn't soak into the metal and gets worn off quite easily.
You should have shirts that say “ITS TIME TO GET STICKEY”
Brilliant job as usual Dan. It's great watching a craftsman at work. You must have great job satisfaction. Wish I could do what you do.
Please change your name to the shoe bloke😂
I enjoy the video up to the end. Thanks 😃
Enjoyed this so much!! I love your full service shop. You are a great cobbler!! A joy to watch😄
I enjoyed this immensely. Wonderful job, great spirit, positive joyful personality, humor, seriously, dedication...what more could one want?
Awesome freakin video, Dan. Loved the multiple projects.

Suede loafers look a lot like my £6 Shoezone slippers
I could watch you do ammo boots and drill shoes all day,well done.
I bet the guy who owns those army shoes loves the repair.
Love love love, I would happily watch an hour long video, you’re awesome 🤩 ❤️
looooooooooooooooooove ur vids!
Perfect merch: T-shirt emblazoned with "Let's Get It On, Time To Get Sticky"

Great video Dan. Good variety of options and didn’t even know that you could replace the eyelets on those shoes.
Outstanding craftsmanship and attention t detail..... Class m8! 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌
I woulda loved having those nails on my parade boots. Had to rely on the old "toe slap floor" technique
Was I the only one thinking that a black, Sharpie would have worked perfectly on those blue shoes??!! $$
Imagine being as pretentious as the first customer...

Hi Dan, could you tel me where I can buy the Puro Shoe Cream? I’ve done a Google search, but can’t find it anywhere.
The background music, you use reminds me of a radio station called ''three counties radio'' at the weekend. :-)
Haven’t seen you cut the leather uppers (by mistake) with your blade as yet (I hope you don’t!), but how do you repair the leather if it gets cut?
(sorry) this is the rest of my reply.,I'm not sure if I should have allowed her to see any of your videos. Just a word of caution to others. Blessings from New Orleans.
The customer didn't want silver eyelets, instead pay someone change them to black.... they got too much money 🤣
Did the customer *specifically* state that Foxey is a dog... or did you just infer that? :P
I find it very relaxing to see a video of you in the evening. I have no idea why RUclips suggested your channel to me, but I'm glad it did. ☺️
Sadly those loafers did not come out good at all. Stitching was all over the place, not straight as before the job. And not sure why so much glue was added. Seems the laces will be stuck there. I’d love to know the reaction of the owner.
Its nice to see al your video's

Question I I have is, are you able to resole Driving loafers with a rubber sole? They seem to wear out fairly quickly.
Good job 👍
I just let my 1 year old neice pick what she wanted to watch, she picked this one, lil girl picked you over paw patrol, I'm pleased with her choice.

What’s up with the blue soles? Can we see a video on that?
You made my day when you put in fresh cork in those shoes.
I love the garden shears bit
Eeek. That finishing final stitch line on the RL… I wouldn’t be happy with it to be honest!
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen on your channel. It’s cool to see the everyday life of a skilled craftsman. I hope you do more of these types of videos.
I definitely did not expect the Ralph Lauren shoes to look better with those black eyelets but i really prefer them with black
Seems like you accept a lot of different jobs. Is there anything that you refuse to do?
His customer voice is very different than His RUclips voice.
What happens if u make a mistake well working or do something that the Costermer didn't ask for?
"So that's 4 1/2 inches by 12 mil" ahhh the English-Metric system I see.
Haha glad I wasn't the only one who caught that
I had no idea that you could fix everything on a shoes in the USA we throw most of are shoes away love the channel keep it up
Marc called, wants his blue suede shoes back, but Cher picked up the order already.
Can v12 power grip steel toe boots be turned into hob nail boots and what would that cost roughly be.
how come you stick your bare hands inside stinky shoes without gloves?
ジェフリーモーガンと血縁関係、、まさかないですよねえ?www
You should have a couple of hobnails converted to earrings.
You whistled the theme song to Disney's Robin Hood.👌🤓
Nice work kid. I wish I knew this type of thing existed back in the day when I had work boots.
I dont know one man that doesn't appreciate a women that trims her bush 🤣🤣🤣
The song he is whistling at 18:00 is got stuck in my head... Where is it from?
I want to see you make watches
Fix
How did you get into this work? Did your father or grandfather do shoe repair? 👠
How do people dislike Dan. His videos are so calming
He's easygoing and very considerate of his customers, even doing
little things they might not notice.
Great job Dan! Cheers from Switzerland!
The suitcase walpaper reminds me of the holocaust 😂
How much to resole a pair of Solomon Quest boots vibram soles?
I thought I was watching p90x for a second

Thanks Jake! Ron is a right tyrant!
Thanks Dan nice jobs all around! I am very intrigued...how much do the Hobnail boots/shoes weigh...I would imagine they are quite heavy? Any idea?
Heavier than your average shoe, a few kilo each I’d say
Ralph loafers! Anyone want to bet the owner has a big pimp cane lol
you could do a 1 hour vid and I would still be happy watching it
Good to know sounds like a longer one might be on the cards!
