Beautiful! My Uncle had a repair shop and like you he was a perfectionist. However, you are correct. It was not economical feasible for the labour and time involved. I wish you could make a million dollars for your talents. Thank you.
I actually think that making a video of the process and posting to RUclips is a good way to makeup someone of the value. This was very informative and great work
A restoration like that makes me think of a collector car that is so pristine, the owner won't drive it anywhere but on-and-off trailers at awards galas. 😅 Fantastic job.
Well done Kenny! Although I could listen to to talk about the way grass grows, with that magical Scottish accent. I don’t know who’s filming, but if your wifey ever does, make sure she says whatever comes into her mind!
Nice work. I would of done another coat of dye. Just to really penetrate into the leather. I recently dyed a pair of gloves and a pair of boots from brown to black. I did 2 coats. Once dryed I used natural boot wax and let that soak for a further day. Then used a touch of black boot polish, just to give the boots a bit of extra shine.
Great video, excellent results! My hat is off to you sir. I just redyed my vintage Red Wing loggers back to black and your video was very helpful. May I ask, what is the correct name of the boot holder you used when polishing these boots? I like it. Keep up the awesome work!😎
I asked a friend the same thing when I was in college and I don't remember what he said, but later I realized it was just against his religion. (Everyone has a religion, you see--if it isn't theistic, then it's socio-political....just look at all the cultural crusading that goes on at college campuses lol). I have no idea what this gentleman's reasons are though, and I'm not implying anything about him. Could be anything-from being unsure about changing an already decently working business model (which can be hard to come by), or in some places weird regulations on the trade, or any one of a thousand other reasons.
Nice video. I have a pair of chelsea boots and I want to change their color from camel to black. But they have elastic on the sides. Is it possible to dye the elastic as well with same leather dye? If no, then any suggestions is really appreciated ? Thanks.
Bedo leatherworks charges a fortune to rework shoes, I’m guessing maybe his pricing is designed in part to deter. He’s fantastic so maybe money well spent though often the repair costs more than the retail price of shoes so unless it’s sentimental value no idea why anyone would do it.
Timberland boots are usually nubuck leather so you would need a nubuck leather dye but I would recommend a dark brown colour to cover over any stains 👍

It’s pretty cool to see shabby things become beautiful again! Pretty amazing :)
Thank you Rachel it's not as easy as you two make it look 😁

Amazing, i believe now a day people would pay for such great job, its not only repair/ renovation or refurbishment, but it is totally new boot
I like using an electric drill. You can find brushes or polish pads made for a drill. I think it will lower the labor & time it takes.
Wow that is some difference. Cant beat quality of work.
MR. KENNY - very nice transformation. ~ JDS/CT

Why not just charge more for the time you put in?

Great video bud 👍🏼
Hi Kenny! Great video. I have a pair of "rustic brown" blundstones in new condition I'd like to make black. What products/process would you recommend?
Great job. I don't know if you dyed them black or darrrk brown. They really came out nicely. Full-watch. 👍🏽👍🏽🤠🤠
Quick question- why is there such a strange scraping sound during polishing. I thought soft cloths were quieter. Is there a special something here?
🙏
Nice video.

How many minutes gap between each coat sir ?
