People should never forget, Steve, that you are an artisan. You practice a profession that few people do any more. You're not just any store, any "mechanic"; you're a keeper of a trade almost lost through the cracks of time, of history. You deserve to be well remunerated for that. Soo much respect for you and your fellow cobblers all around the globe.
not just any mechanic? Mechanics or Automotive technicians spend years on their profession. Working on some of the most complicated machines that are changing at an unprecedented rate. Steve deserves everything he has worked for. So do everyone who has invested their life to any trade. Steve you are a true artisan. keep up the good work
@@TheLynx1984 Yeah, no. There's a reason they dump ex-cons in auto shops. Mechanics are a dime a dozen. Quality mechanics are highly sought after for their rarity.
Yea everybody has full mouth of ecology these days.
But they buy cheap (Made in China) crap and throw it away when it breaks.
But key to ecology and sustainability is to make quality goods and repair them when it breaks.
@Robert Scott - exactly. Between his experience, skill, shop space, tools, equipment and materials, you're talking a massive investment and he deserves to be compensated accordingly, as does any high level craftsman.
@@TheLynx1984 I think he means like you could take your car to any mechanic and have it fixed, or you can take it to a special technician who understands nuance to his trade and has the know-how to fix it right. Don't get stuck on the word mechanic, it's used for tradesmen in other fields.
Yikes! I can’t believe why anyone would want to be nasty on your channel, Steve. As someone who makes leather bags as a hobby, I love to watch a real professional work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and good humor!
👍👏👏

I would expect a well trained professional/artisan to charge at least $70/hour, and maybe more if they are located on either coast. I think people forget that your hourly rate also covers things like rent on the building, and electricity and web hosting fees and wear and tear on machines, professional fees, training, you tax accountant, placing orders for supplies, etc, etc. Overheads have to be calculated into your prices to make running a business sustainable.
I also think it is easy to forget that when I see you with a pile a cut out pieces and your sew one seam and then the bag is done, that it looks easy. I imagine that 30% of your time is spent looking a bag and reverse engineering how it was made, and coming up with pattern pieces and a plan. And that is not shown because it is less interesting to film.
Steve, you are so gracious to share to your craft with us. It is your gift to me and I am very grateful. Thank you!
Exactly. People have no idea how much running a business costs. I had none, untill I ran my own ... It took me a full year to know learn how much I should be charging, and what to expect.
Also there are wastages on materials that Steve have to absorb, as these materials sometimes came with flaws that cannot be used for the repair work.
I love how your job makes people happier.
It means a lot to restore things that has so much sentimental value. Nostalgia is such a powerful emotion.
Don’t ever feel like you need to justify your prices..... you’re skilled labor with year experience, people pay for quality work. You wouldn’t trust a 1 Star doctor for your children, so don’t trust unqualified people to repair your objects.
i just made a similar comment...you already know those who bring up his prices being high prob only know of the industry from what they watch on peoples youtube channels...
Agree 👍
Steve, I LOOOOVE your "Complainer Guy" voice! Shows all those armchair quarterbacks/back seat drivers out there as they really are: All talk, no action.
Well, I guess it's human nature to offer (often unneeded, unheeded) help, regardless.
LONG LIVE Hammahtimeeee! You're also great at practical jokes... X-D
I'm waching this video for the third time and man, he makes me smile everytime with that coffee prank. Waching him smile just makes me smile even more. Thanks for everything Mr. Steve.
👌😄 $500 for a bag that would last even one decade is a hell of a deal, let alone the priceless sentimental value and cherished memories that go with it!
👋 Hello.. I love how you bring people's beloved bags, shoes etc "back from the dead!" Keep the videos coming!
Truly a Master Craftsman. Been watching for a while now. Found your channel while in Pandemic mode. Love the wit and skill you have. Thanks for making the world a brighter place. Take care and stay safe.
You made me smile. You are not only an excellent artist but also a man with a great humor.
Don't apologize for your prices -- you earn every bit of it for your excellent work. It is reasonable and includes overhead and supplies. 👍
You shouldn’t even have to tell us the price. That’s a matter for you and your client. If there are people who don’t like it they can go elsewhere. I love your work you’re a very talented and skilled craftsman. 👍🏻 Let’s continue. ❤️
I’m really glad you tell the price. I would be wondering if I wanted a job like that done, could I realistically afford it. I’m glad you tell how much and you deserve every penny.
I think it’s really interesting to know the price. It’s definitely fair.
@@alextindal2640 totally agree. It helps consumers know what prices for certain repair jobs go for and helps protect them from getting scammed. It also kind shines a light on how much the labour is actually worth ! Most times people get too accustomed to paying incredibly cheap labour for their clothes/items made from countries like China or elsewhere. It helps bring fair wages to workers there too!
It's nice to see the costs of restorations though. Too see if its worth to restore or to just get a new one
HI, STEVE!! I'M EARLY! 🙌 Steve, Steve, Steve...WHY do you talk like you're NOT going to restore that bag to better than new condition? We all know better than to hope with you, we KNOW. I think we just like your voice and wit, so we watch to the end to see the magnificent job you've done on another project!!! You know you're the Man, and you got it like that! 💗🎩👜👞
My hands shake a lot when I don't have coffee, or Medi-juana. 🌿😋
@@angelalane8660 wtf is wrong with you lmao
I bought a leather purse from Macy’s years ago, and I’ll never get rid of it, if it needs to be fixed, I’ll contact you for sure.
I agree..I don’t throw out my leather handbags. I have a few that need attention.
Anything leather, Steve is the man for the job!
You know someone is truly good at their craft when they take in botched up jobs and then deliver something better than the original at a limited budget.
I want to see the customers' reactions when they get their item back in restored condition.
You got me with that coffee trick. People who complain about the costs really don’t understand workmanship. Things might be commoditized now and made in mass in factories but repairs are unique and require the human touch, as you demonstrate. Thanks for these videos.
Getting quality workman ship is a lot like buying Oats if you want good clean fresh oats you have to pay a fair price but if you want oats that have been through the horse, their a lot less
Mr. Bedo puts same passion in showing us how to make coffee as he does in his repairs, ' let's continue ' , reflections and jokes included. Mr. Bedo, you are the man!
Your skill took this bag back in time 20 years ,and now it still holds all those precious memories .Job well done !
My favorite channel period!! Amazing work as usual. 👍🏽 Let’s continue!
I have loved every video that I have watched.
You have inspired me to continue my entry into leatherwork.
I’m too old to do what you do, but I look forward to your videos.
Keep up the good work and many thanks for brightening up my life
I discovered Bedo’s YT Channel looking for tutorials on how to care for my leather belongings, and to find a true master leather craftsman. What I immediately liked about Steve’s work ethic that I noticed in all his projects is his attention to details. In this project he added several improvements to the bag that the OEM didn’t do and he uses better materials where needed. Like applying Loctite to the screws then gluing gussets over them, to protect them from chafing the liner or adding leather stiffener to the openings. That’s the level of craftsmanship I am willing to pay for.
👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you Steve. I restore vintage dolls. Your descriptions of how you sew and reconstruct bags has helped me make my own doll bodies. Thank you.
Loved the coffee break scene. I took today off and am home having a relaxing morning coffee. So I’m drinking coffee with you. Cheers! ☕️
❤️☕️
Me to... let's drink all coffee together ❤
I was in my 30 when I started actually drinking coffee. Before I only used it to soak cookies lol. Njam. And still can't drink it black... I pollute it with lots of sugar and cream... 😂😂😂😂😂
I think your channel does other artisans a great service as you help people understand the love, skill, dedication and experience required for doing your projects the way you do them.
Simple minded people could never understand the importance of highly skilled craftsmen with superior attention to detail. Keep doing you.
Steve, you are the absolute BEST. Hearing you laugh at your gag was perfect.
Steve, you're the best! You are meticulous and a perfectionist; i am sure she was delighted. Love watching you work. Thanks for the upload; stay well!
Great job, 40 minutes of pure pleasure watching you putting your skills to work.
I have watched almost all your videos in the last 3 days and I can't get enough of the handbag restoring ..you are so interesting to watch and your skill is amazing! !!😊
Abris! You are true craftsman. I watch your videos in honor of one of my patients who recently passed away at the age of 89. He did exactly what you do for 70 years. R.I.P. Hachatur Rastian.
Keep up the good work, Steve. We are very proud to have you among us. Thanks for the great videos.
Joseph Aslanyan
The people that take the time to point out that your work space is a mess. Have probably never made anything past the knot they make to tie their shoes. I'm two busy watching what your doing and trying to learn something I never noticed if your workspace was or is a mess. Awsome work thanks for sharing.
LOL Good example.
I have three sons and the only one who likes coffee is the one who lives 1,000 miles away from me. I see him only about once a year now and I cannot tell you how much I love drinking coffee with him in the morning. Sometimes we don't even talk, and I don't care. We sit quietly near each other, and for a brief moment of time, I am again his father and he is my son.
Hi Steve! I paused the video to make a coffee to join you! CHEERS! ☕☕ I had to come back and add : That was a GREAT trick you played on us! You were so convincingly shocked!!
I always said an empty bench is the sign of an empty mind ! Enjoy your work and keep doing what you do the way you do it!
Come for the leatherworking skills, stay for the coffee making skills, haha ;D
I really enjoy watching these videos! I started by watching your Florsheim restoration videos. Makes me want to buy new shoes :D
I saw one of your videos on shoes, cause I like "restoring videos", never been interested in your line of work, at all. But I'm hooked. You make it interesting, I watch at least one of your videos a day. Thanks from Sweden!
You have decades of experience and are a seasoned artisan. Your time is valuable and your prices are reasonable IMO I love watching your repair videos!!! It’s a pleasure to watch a true pro at work!
Your customer really loved the person that gave her that bag. I think this is such a beautiful sentiment. You are a blessing.
Bro, you don't need to explain price. Your craftsmanship says it all...you get what you pay for with YOU! Btw, some countries you can flip that coffee upside down & Read the future!🤪
Hammertime🔨🇬🇧🙏
I use to have the dirty bench debate with my old boss quite a bit. But it was always a matter of how effectively i got work done. I was almost always juggling 5 tasks at once. So yeah the cleaning side was secondary. But it never prevented me from doing quality work, and making sure customers where happy. These days, I have learned my processes and work habits to the point that I can organize my work areas better. So they become less cluttered. But the work and quality is always more important than how clean my bench is.
BTW, i really appreciate your attention to detail and work ethic. It shows that you care about what your doing. I wish more industries and businesses approached their work to the same degree.
Renting an artist for this price is really not expensive!
The work isn't only accomplished, but completely sublimated.
I imagine the joy of the person who will rediscover his bag.
Well done The artist.
I appreciate your respect for your customers and viewers. Love your sense of humor.
It is so frustrating. You tell people the price, they complain that it is high. You don't tell, they complain that no price is given.
OMG EXACTLY!!!!!
Fun part is the people complaining aren't even the people who gets the bill.
Well, both are true. He doesnt have to tell people his price but it is helpful for people with similar condition bags, and yes, his prices are too high.
But, that shouldn't matter. There are always customers for every cobblers price range and obviously there are people who can afford his work. I can't, and that's ok. Thankfully there are professional cobblers on his level and higher who are local to me in NYC and more in my price range.
Not sure why anybody would question your pricing. You're not forcing anybody to use your services. It's a choice. And the price is the price.
The coffee confession made me snicker. Good on you Steve - your honesty and integrity know no bounds.
U ARE A GREAT TEACHER, WHICH IS A RARITY NOWADAYS...HEAVENS KNOWS WE NEED MORE CRAFTSMEN LIKE U:))
Hello there, do not pay attention to negative comments, those who make negative comments about you and your excellent work, is because they wanted to be like you and do your job and could not do it
Well, cheers to the shop that stopped work when they figured out it was beyond their capabilities. Anyone who questions the costs needs to research the prices of tools and materials needed to run his shop. A spool of thread can top $100. Oh, and Steve needs to feed his family too. :)
After the coffee making, was there anyone who didn't want to sit down and have a coffee with Steve? :)
1 of my top 10 of your videos. Great craftsmanship, bonding with the viewer, and the coffee trick had me rolling.
I can tell you really care about your workmanship, and takes pride in your work. You take care to reinforce corners and even place fabric on the screw heads. 👍
That's actually a lot of work for $500, the customer is getting a rebuilt bag from the ground up. 🥰
id love to see the reactions of the costumers when they get back the bag/shoes!
You crack me up!!! I loved seeing you laugh at your coffee joke.....and the “hater” voice gives me life! lolol You are THA MAN! 💪🏼🥰💪🏼
Steve once again absolute quality workmanship 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm going to try that coffee! I love wacthing your work. Really nice seeing someone that goes the extra mile and makes customer service and satisfaction really the number one priority!
you made that look easy. your work is amazing.
One of your greatest Lazarus jobs and a beautiful bag! Almost gotta give credit to prior repair shop that bailed out rather than go in deeper and possibly ruin the bag for good
Your coffee story was the funniest I've heard in a long time, finished with the Standing Spoon! "Let's Continue! 👍" LOL
Rance here, Your prices represent a job done by a craftsman. Your work is second to nobody Beautiful work!
not here for a clean workbench, here to see a craftsman at work
Your approach in giving prices is interesting to say the least. My approach to more expensive things that are affordable but may sting a little at first is buy once cry once. Years after the $500 was spent and forgotten the lucky customer will have something much more valuable than the price charged. The video and process also make it special. I have know idea of your hourly rate but out of thin air if it's $50 that's 10 hours of work (just labor no material). For your skill set that is more than reasonable. Not many people can do what you do.
$50 per hour at this level of skill is more than reasonable. It took him years to perfect his skill. If one doesn't like the rate he can go somewhere else, have that person spend 30 hours on it without getting this awesome result.
I liked this solely for the coffee Dad joke. Been watching a few of your videos lately. Great work and craftsmanship. I enjoy watching a master at work.
"Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed". I love it!!! You shouldn't have to explain your work table to ppl, its YOUR work table and you can kept the way you want to.
Another great rescue!
I just paid $2,000 to repair Converse sneakers from about 20 years ago. It may sound like a lot, but almost all of that cost is tied up in labor. I think $1,900 was labor, and $100 was for new laces.
Love your great business ethics. 😁😆🍭 nooo I'm watching you and learning. I care less what your work space looks like. I can't create in CLEAN space.
This guy is pure therapy. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I wish he could make my jacket some day.
You have a fun-loving joking personality that anyone could like
I REALLY need to learn to read properly...... I saw ‘saving another bag ........ gone wrong !!!! ‘. And thought .... 😲 WHAT ...... STEVE MADE A MISTAKE 😲😲😲 ..... I have to see this ..... watched the whole video thinking ... ‘ I wonder what he does wrong ?’ Then REread the title 😟😟😟....... another stunning make over Steve
Yeah, I thought he was going crazy to post a video of him messing up a repair, as he's usually able to fix his mistakes.
Just like magic... It looks brand new!! Re: Your prices-- in my opinion, they are more than reasonable considering the kind of expertise you provide and the end result. It's up to the costumer to decide whether they agree or not to the price. There's another place that provides the same quality and craftsmanship you have but their prices are just unbelievable. Their clients go to them knowing that they'll get an excellent end product. However, they are not nearly as entertaining and funny as you are. Keep up the good work!!
As a kid and even sometimes now, I loved to take things apart. I have a lot of talent to do that, but putting it back together never ends well. Nice to watch someone else do it and do it right. To see it all come together is rewarding.
Steve you always preform magic on on your repairs and make it better than when bought new you are the best I have seen in the business. Really a tire craftsman love your work
Why do people want to now what it cost. That something between you and the costumer. Clean bench is a bench where nobody works.
Well maybe some people want to do similar job. So it is good to know what price to expect.
I want to know. I'm curious and I appreciate the time and skill it takes to restore an item.
Nothing wrong with wanting to know the price, what's wrong is people bitching about it. Last time I checked nobody forces anyone to pay for anyones services.
There's no justification needed. People who have no sentimental value on items don't understand plus you restore it and even make the product even better. Should have a new label on it " Hand made in Italy, Restored in USA"
Really, like why aren't people asking Louis Vuitton or Versace to justify charging thousands for their bags in the first place? At those prices, you should get one free renovation years later.
Seeing the 'messy' workbench of a true craftsman makes me feel better that my mat is no longer pristine! Of course, dirt is bad, but stains and cuts are just proof of your hard work! If a mat looks brand new, it is because it hasn't been used.
Oh man you are a comedian, with golden hands.
3rd... I love your videos! I make leathergoods and i learn a lot from you with every video.... greetings from México
Hello from Kentucky, USA 💗
Spoon in the coffee , I laugh a lot🤣🤣
I just discovered you. I crawled out from the rock I was living under. I was hooked from the start. However when you said you've deleted and blocked some of the obnoxious and rude folks, you have become my RUclips Hero. Thanks for not tolerating them.
Thank you for being you and giving people back their pieces of life& memories. And you deserve every single penny you charge 🙌❤️💯
“No name bag👜”😆
I loooove leather
Tell that to the cow. 😞
Me too
Callie Masters the cow already died for beef.
there is a strange pleasure you feel watching a skilled craftsman work
very satisfying knowing there are people who do quality work as a matter of pride
your products are well worth what you charge
Have been going through your videos... man o man you have magic hand with leathers. From jackets to bags and shoes you are the best! Just amaze to see your passion toward your work my man! Salute
so this is also turkish coffee and after drinking it some people do the coffee reading the future its so popular in turkey
Omg ahahah was just passing by an innocent comment and everybody replying with their ‘alsooo’ coffee origin. And literally somebody sent a Wikipedia link lol . It’s alsoooo Japanese coffee if you didn’t know FYI🤣
It’s also Armenian coffee lol
@@arammasseredjian6447 its also coffe arabic
@@ipektanrica9029 And Greek coffee. Every nation that makes this coffee calls it after themselves. (But it was probably Arabs who invented it.)
@@arammasseredjian6447 its literally written on the package arabic coffee. It's literally produced in lebanon.

Steve. You need to sneak a label with your name and date in the lining. My Dad and I always left notes inside out 100+ year old homes walls when renovating. For future generations to find. We often found old newspapers inside the walls when we tore them open. I did that to my new home when we built in 2006. I did it during framing in places that a future door would perhaps be made down the line if future generations decided to expand the small house.
what an awesome idea
It’s a great classic bag with tons of meaning for the owner. Your rebuild is worth every penny.
I think it is amazing how you restored that bag, i personally spend a great deal on bags and it is nice to know i can get something i love repaired. Some of my bags are not being made anymore so getting a new one is not an option. I have had to get straps replaced but when you love a thing that has been with you for years, I would not let a few hundred dollars stand in my way. I love watching your videos helps me learn about how to take care of my bags.
Lets continue!
Great coffee is important in the daily routine.
I love how passionate and meticulous you are about your work!
Your sense of humor just MAKES these videos. 😂😂
I really enjoyed the coffee segment. I love your work, great job with this piece (and every other piece you've ever done, LOL)!
A master craftsman like you, understand the level of work and details he can produced. Bringing back and restoring this item, will change or bring a lots of wonderful memories to the owner. You simply can't compare this magical moments or memories, with money, its priceless.
I redo furniture and to me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a finished piece brought back to life.
Steve--they're not just paying for your hours restoring the project now, but also for all the years that you've spent becoming an expert craftsman who is capable and brave enough to do this type of work. Is anyone else here disappointed that their shoes aren't worn enough to justify sending down to Bedo's yet? Thanks for teaching and entertaining us.
Great work Steve... thanks for bringing us along!!
Customers decide if the price is fair and appropriate - you do great work!
You are a Jedi master of handbag repairs , may the force be with you young Steve
Awesome! Looks like brand new after your repair! Thanks for the video!
