Replaced the GG fabric on this Gucci wallet. This vintage wallet was stitched with cotton thread, so everything had to come apart to re-stitch it with nylon thread. This was a $500 job.
Another 'fringe' project. I have difficulty watching some of these videos. I get anxiety issues. I cringe during certain stages and this video project/job was well shot/up close. During the tear down I freak out a little. During the stitching I cringe in fear. The metal work on the clasps made we want to run away. Such a small delicate thing of merit and vintage getting a new life. Steve didn't say a word or talk us through it, that increased the intensity. I took a few deep breaths and got myself through it. What a marvellous project! These silent videos are/can be on a different level. It is a great way to mix up his channel and add more torture & delight to the viewers. Such a beautiful piece when the wallet/purse was resurrected in true fine form. Blows my mind away.
scrolling through my youtube subscriptions to watch a video with my morning coffee, and there's Steve with my vintage Gucci wallet. what a surprise! able to watch my wallet come back to life with my favorite craftsman. looking forward to seeing it again carefully restored! thank you for taking on a restore of a small leather item.
Your insightful commentary was missed in this video; nevertheless, the captivating transformations were as fascinating as always. Keep up the exceptional work!
ASMR? Brother Steve, Watching someone practice a semi-lost art is interesting, but it is the artisan who draws us in. With that said, in my opinion, we should leave the ASMR format to our Armenians brethren who have no facilities in English. It is simply not the same without your famous "It's hammah time" or the falsetto voice you use when mimicking the trolls. Stay true, Brother. Respectfully, J.
In London we have a name for people who use Gucci gear and it's Chav! But seriously Steve - no comments or coffee, no banter or bitching but most of all no triggering - that's it I'm out a here.
It seems a lot to repair a wallet, but they don’t make these kiss-lock wallets any more. I know my mums generation only wants a purse with a kiss-lock closure,but the designer houses don’t make them anymore. I have an LV one I bought preloved.
I mostly 12:41 come here for the sewing parts, I like how you adjusted when you needed an extra half stitch to get you into the corner. Excellent as usual
I was gonna down vote this video because you didn't get the stone sharpener out to sharpen the blade to wind peeps up 🤣🤣🤣😂. I didn't though your videos and workmanship are too good to fault but you did miss the opportunity here :)
If I was this customer I might have asked if you could make me a new wallet from scratch on the same budget. Probably would have been even nicer than this one turned out and some times starting from new is easier than major surgery lol
I think hearing your voice is more ASMR than quiet ASMR. I wanted to hear how you got that replacement fabric, like maybe from another project. The sewing using existing holes is amazing. Do you whip out your micrometer and measure, then fine adjust the machine several times?
HI, STEVE!!! I don't know if you received it, but a couple years ago, I sent you a "Lillibrush" from Amazon...@8:13, when you're picking stitches, THAT is what the Lillibrush was for!! Drag the edge along the stitches, and basically scrape them right off...lol it's silicone or something, wouldn't hurt the leather. Love you, Steve!!! ❤
Q: Steve. When you are resewing on the machine, do you do a test to find the exact stitch length of the original. On a small piece of fabric? Or, once you dial it in on an inside piece, you are pretty much certain the entire wallet uses the same length? Your stitch placement (over the hundreds of projects I have watched) is spot on.
I usually do but with this one I didn’t get the results I usually do with other projects. This wasn’t my first choice of stitcher to use but the one that I wanted to use was out of commission so I did the best I could with what I had.
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Still, it looks great. The holes seemed to match. I only do hand leather sewing with a saddle stitch. Don't have a walking foot or industrial machine. Only my good old Bernina 1000 special. (it works for thin leather). For hobby stuff I get by.
Great work as usual, only snag is straight stitching lines ! It’s a geometric nightmare tbh I suppose the people who use the sewing machine all day every day take some beating
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC they are expensive I suppose and it’s your creation so to me it doesn’t detract because it is a honest up-cycle for the customer. It’s just my job I was no sewer but I was a painter and straight lines were very serious I suppose, it’s all it was about lol. Oh I had to retire at 43 and I miss working
11:53. I can’t really tell but it looks like you’re running that thread through the same holes already in the leather. If that’s the case I was wondering how you get everything to line up on the machine. Do you determine the amount of threads per inch and set your machine for that “step-over” distance and have the spacing controlled by those two little metal things that look like feet near the needle, or do you need to control the spacing manually as you pull the leather through? 🤔
Your work is just amazing! True craftsman. It’s awesome to watch you not only bring old shoes back to life, but jackets, purses, bags, and really anything made of leather. Bravo, sir.
I found your channel not too long ago, and I’ve binge watched your videos. I am amazed at all the different things you do! I love watching you work, and the final result is always amazing. I’m so glad I found your channel.
I have ben watching since the beginning of CORONAVIRUS 2019….and I have learned so much when it comes to handbag repair…. I purchase vintage handbags and restore them for my personal use….let’s continue 👍🏽
Really. Again. What is it with this silence? Are you getting paid not to talk. Your videos are fun, enjoyable to watch. This silent videos are BORING. I repeat BORING.
HEY!!!! Simmer down. I upload any video I wish if you don’t want to watch it then don’t watch it. PERIOD. No seriously sometimes when I can’t make a detailed audio video then this is the next best thing.
Hi Steve 🙋🏽. It's incredible to see what these expensive wallets are made of. It's ridiculous for the price people pay for them. When you take them apart I'm just flabbergasted ‼️ WOW that's incredible ‼️🤔🧐🤨👁️👁️.
A friend of mine has wanted a Louis Vuitton purse for the longest. She was gifted one about 2 years ago. I really thought she knew what they were made of. Then, one day, we were talking about how expensive they could get. I remarked that I never thought a purse that wasn't leather could cost so much. She never knew it wasn't leather...
Funny how it seems that my mood for a simple video to just *watch* and not actually *listen* to coincides with you releasing a video with no narration :D Of course, I absolutely adore listening to your narration, too! - it's just sometimes, it's nice to just sit back and lose oneself in the process alone :D
Large job or small job, your attention to the details is spot on Steve, great video but I missed your voice on the repair, you are a class act, take care.
these are easily some of my favorite videos from you, Steve. I love the focus and the stillness of it and I LOVE hearing the sounds. I also really appreciate that you don't just fix or repair things, you make them better.
Again, all this for a few square inches of drab, unattractive jacquard which had to be replaced anyway. Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. As for me, this wallet would not function well and is neither an object of beauty or delight. I sometimes wonder if I can create an object that people would gladly pay twenty times the cost of goods. I wonder if I would feel guilty for being a capitalist.
I often question why some people restore what they do, like this relatively inexpensive piece; the restoration probably cost twice what this piece originally cost. What I can never question, however, is why they came to you…. You’re work speaks for itself. You’re a true craftsman, a master of his trade. As always, great job with the restoration. Bravo 👏
He's mentioned lots of reasons in the past, with "sentimental value" easily being far and away the most common reason mentioned, such as a gift from a family member who passed away. Other reasons I remember hearing are designs no longer available, or current version is lower quality but higher cost, restoring something as a gift for someone else, lots of reasons.
@@malcolmlane-ley2044 relatively. But I have had several and these, before bidenomics, would go for $200-$300. Expensive, compared to target and Walmart, and still pricier the no-name true leather counterparts of similar design. But you pay a premium for the name…so where a similar design, no name, true leather, would set you back $100-$200, a Gucci at $300-$400 isn’t a far stretch… I’m not sure what you relate to, a Hyundai vs a Lexus, a baofung vs a yeasu, pirelli vs kumofast….😅 they’re not cheap, but relatively speaking….I can imagine this work was $600-$1000, for all that time spent and the price of a master craftsman…heck, mechanics at dealers charge $100 an hour. Easily 6hrs spent here.
Steve every video of yours is therapuedic / asmr, theres so much garbage on the market , watching shoes etc being rebuilt to a high standard is a pleasure.

Awesome.. but we need the steve antics lol.. hammer time let's continue . Coffee time ⏲️

Very nice
WOW YOU'RE THE TOPS
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The silent treatment huh?
amazing
🥰🥰❤️
AMAZING WORK!!!
Time and again I have watched your shaking hands place two pieces of a project in perfect alignment. Amazing.
Like I said many times, Steveroo can repair ANYTHING...! The "MASTER"...Greg...IN
Beautiful video with only the sounds of a master at work. Thanks
“This one’s on me” as she whips out her still-custom wallet in full view of the table…
Outstanding work . No job too big or Too Small for you . Steve O 😊
Let's continue 👍
What? No talking!😵💫😵💫😵💫
Amazing show again thank you
Hey man, I waited 17 minutes and 58 seconds for you to say something and you didn't!
I'M OUTA HERE.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Learning how to manipulate that algorithm 👌🏻
Real craftsmen work ❤
Like brand new. Looks great.
Enjoyed this 😊
Beautiful work Steve, but I miss the “Let’s continue”!! 😊
Miss listening to you.
"hey man!" How come there's no hammer time? Let's continue. Cheers.
Amazing as always.
Well done Steve a Silk purse from a Sows Ear
Nice
Hey man...how come there's no narration? Some people could be triggered by that. Ha!
Your insightful commentary was missed in this video; nevertheless, the captivating transformations were as fascinating as always. Keep up the exceptional work!
Just like new, as is everthing you do your magic on. Thanks for posting
Hey Man! I'm triggered by ASMR, man!
Woo, bedos day
ASMR?
Brother Steve,
Watching someone practice a semi-lost art is interesting, but it is the artisan who draws us in.
With that said, in my opinion, we should leave the ASMR format to our Armenians brethren who have no facilities in English. It is simply not the same without your famous "It's hammah time" or the falsetto voice you use when mimicking the trolls.
Stay true, Brother.

OK, glad to see ya made another great video. I am rather disappointed that you didn't hone your razor blade.(just kidding) Great job.

i wonder whos always playing that loud music?
It’s upstairs, the tattoo shop🤣🤣🤣
OMG the stitching looks horrendous.
No talking at all?? C’mon!😂
Its lovely.but for the first time i see your stitches are crooked
Yes I know, have no excuse I did the best I could with the machine I had.😢😢😢
If I was this customer I might have asked if you could make me a new wallet from scratch on the same budget. Probably would have been even nicer than this one turned out and some times starting from new is easier than major surgery lol
I like it when you talk.

Hey man.. I like the talking l!!! Lol
Please make more ASMR videos! I love it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You should have placed a brand new cent in the change pouch. It would symbolize the pretty penny they paid for the craftsmanship.
When I sell my purses or gift purses I always put a penny in them to wish the new owner prosperity. Let’s continue 👍🏽
A few of my favorite things - ASMR and your work! Dreams do come true!
Oh, and that snap was snapping!
How many coats of edging did you put on?
Did you electroplate the hardware gold after you used the steel wool?
Just two coats and no I didn’t electroplate anything
Another successful project. Such an improvement. Looks very good.
Can order a Bedos logo shirt?
Go on the main RUclips page Bedo’s Leatherworks and click “store”
How much was this job?
$500
HI, STEVE!!! I don't know if you received it, but a couple years ago, I sent you a "Lillibrush" from Amazon...@8:13, when you're picking stitches, THAT is what the Lillibrush was for!! Drag the edge along the stitches, and basically scrape them right off...lol it's silicone or something, wouldn't hurt the leather. Love you, Steve!!! ❤
You sent that? Yes I have it and I use it. Thank you, but for delicate old leather sometimes you have to be careful
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC 🙂
We love us some cotton-pickin' cobbler action! And Bick4 to the rescue on that leather.

Oh I had to retire at 43 and I miss working
Very hot in the UK at the moment, so sitting on my 7th floor balcony having a cigar watching a master at work
Niiiiice
What’s your opinion on the quality of that Gucci purse? Is it in name only
It’s just like the rest of the high end items. Good craftsmanship but some poor materials
please more ASMR from you!!! Would love to see you restore a shoe with no talking, just edits and close ups 😍
What kind of pliers did you use? Nice job as usual? 👍
Those pliers are specifically for purse frames
I love your work! But dude, you got to lay off the coffee!
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!🤣
Absolutely, beautiful! What craftsmanship you have!

There is a thread size setting and you simply try to figure out the exact size.

Hello Mr. Craftsman. What is the name of the tool you use to open a metal frame?🤔 Thank you in any case 😊

That is beautiful. Another amazing project.
Good morning Steve ,GREAT job in The SMALL wallet ,congratulations ,regards from Spain🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
More, more, more ASMR’s please!!
This video was very enjoyable. As much as we all love listening to you, just watching you can also be satisfying.
I couldn't find the exact match.Plain little bi-folds in the $400-500 range. With this detail and the clasp, probably $800-1000 brand new.

Was this wallet genuine?
It looked a wreck and not very Gucci.
🤦♂️🤦♂️yes
That was a great repair Steve a small very delicate purse deconstructed but put back together and made as good as new 😊
I think it's asmr when you're speaking
Explaining how and what you are doing and why ect
No it’s not
You gave the tired old purse new life Steve, well done!
I made it in at 400 views ,anotner excellent job,looks great
This installment reminds me of Ray Doty's "Wordless Workshop" in the back of "Family Handyman" magazine! Perfect!
Hahahahaha, I turned the volumn all the way up.....before I realised it was silent. Very good
