I appreciate the customer response. Not only was he excited but he demonstrated that your customers are not randomly making the decision to have you do work for them, they are thoughtfully choosing an artisan to produce exquisite end products. People that hate on your videos and disrespect your customers with negative comments need to find something to be passionate about.
@@exocorp your choice to pay homage to the brassvelo...*chef’s kiss*. Like you said, Steve took the idea and made them better than the shoe they were paying homage to.
@@exocorp it's been a year, can you update on how they look now. I know you said you wanted to wear them casually, can you post your outfit wearing them. Asking for a friend.
I like that you took a very nice shoe and improved it. Sort of next level isn't it. I really like the ASMR sounds, tearing off a soul, cutting stitching with your knife, that's my favorite sound
Even though you "resole" shoes, you add enough variations alone the way, like resoling new shoes, that we learn something new each time (new shoes come apart easily and cleanly). And the truth is I like listening to you and your outlook on life while you do your craft. My dad always said to do the best you can each and every time and you do that, knowing that not everything is perfect, but you try each time to achieve perfection. You inspire met to be better in my leather work, and I love your sense of humor, thank you!
LOL, a jerk with a needle! Too funny. I love your old school approach - do it right, do it once, make it last. This job is like ripping carpet out of a brand new house and putting down wood floors. Max enjoyment from the beginning.
Steve, Imma be completely honest with you -- your videos are one of only a handful of things that relax me after long days of dealing with my engineering studies. You may feel that it's repetitious, but each shoe you do is slightly different in its own way in my eyes and the way approach each repair has a level of detail that I aspire to in my own work. So thank you for uploading everything that you do. And your editing quirks are just another thing that makes your videos endearing -- I don't have to hear intro music, ad space, or over the top commentary -- just a chill time fixing some shoes, boots, jackets, or bags.
Engineer here. Couldn't phrase it better myself. And it's worth getting some Goodyear welt shoes for the job interview though you may not need to wear a suit and tie for work.
The stacked heal really catches the eye. The combination of modifications really changes the shoe from formal to dressy casual. I see why the customer wanted the changes. Alden should take some notes.
HI, STEVE!! I love listening to the birds up here on my mountain in Kentucky, so beautiful, all the variety of birds, and lots of Cardinals! We have a lot of fireflies and ladybugs, too! I love it up here. Those shoes were ok to begin with, but now, they're hot blooded and bulletproof!
Your patience and attention to detail are second-to-none. I'm happy that someone else commissioned your expertise, because I'm certain I couldn't afford to. Great job as usual‼️😁
Of course it is a word and you used it correctly. Hoarse means your voice is rough or gravelly. Horse is an animal for a cowboy or girl to ride, and it provides us with horsehide leather. Please do not doubt yourself, you know a lot of things not just beautiful leather work and repair. However, your humility is one of the nicest things about you. I do not watch to see shoes fixed. I watch to see a highly skilled craftsman work hard at a complicated trade to make his customers happy and do it with a smile., Thank you for sharing part of your world with us. I work in a different trade, but when I have a bad day watching you really helps.
Excellent worker. I believe this chap is by far the most skilled of all of the people loading to RUclips. There is an extra layer of engineering that Steve puts into the shoes that makes them totally pop. Completing the shoes is amazing, but filming editing and loading is a job in itself. Thank you for the clear and concise filming showing every step so precisely.
Oh Steve. We don`t know each other. I am a 50 year old guy from Germany but I really love your channel. But why? It is not only the craftmanship, which is always great. But the most important thing is your general approach, your humor and personality. People like you, they have an impact in the world, at least for me. Bringing some fun and light into days. Loving to hear the birds singing and how you care about the things you work on. No professional editing needed. The way it is is perfect in every aspect. Thank you for your videos and your personality.
Steve, please do not change how you edit your videos. The way they are done is great. They are authentic and we (the viewers) get to enjoy your stories, your jokes, the birds singing and of course your amazing talent. Try not to focus on the negative comments, you have so many viewers who love what you do.
I don't know how I ever stumbled on your channel but am so glad I did! There is something strangely therapeutic about watching these transformations. Love watching a true craftsman enjoy his work! Always enjoy your videos...let's continue!🙂
You had me at slam dancing and mosh pits. 🥰💙🥰🤟 You made a great pair of shoes, a MASTERPIECE. You are a true craftsman. I was a very very highly regarded welder by trade. I love stuff like this.
Another Steve Bedo’s masterpiece! All the more satisfying to produce work for nice customers such as this who are appreciative of the effort and attention to detail that went into the job. A great experience for him which he will treasure and remember each time he wears them. 👍
Excellent upgrade. My favorite heavy metal channel on RUclips is Heavy Metal Maniacs. There are so many great bands from the late 70s -80s I've never heard of ripped off of original vinyl and EP.
Stunning work, sir, and I can't believe your customer was able to find Ravello LWBs as recently as 2021! Cigar, Whiskey, and Ravello LWBs truly are rare and precious things. The addition of the eyelets is inspired--I don't know why the LWBs and PTBs aren't made with them by default, whether brass or otherwise. You do wonderful work and I'm so glad I came upon your channel.
Wow Steve, I never thought you would be asked to do a rehash of brand new shoes....but....the customer gets what the customer wants. So on that point bud, well done for an excellent job. I have to agree that your customer was correct in that the shoes look better after your work. Oh, yes there is such a word as hoarse. I use it all the time. Congrats on the project. Shine on
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Horst if you like.....if your German lol. I know a guy named Horst. Well I use two hearing aids so I heard hoarse lol. Never mind I think we both got a smile out it.
Awesome - you made a great looking shoe look so much better. The customer explained the look he wanted and you delivered. The sole edges actually look like fine wood. You are a cobbler and an artist.
Don't cut yourself short Steve. You do a very good job with the camera giving us good views of what your are doing along with an explanation. Keep up the good work!!
The jerk needle thing you have we had one at home my dad used it to repair our shoes as kids we couldn’t afford new my dad used to repair all our shoes but he used to call it a hook eye needle cos it hooked the string and made the eye hole for the string to go through I’m 66 from swanage England love ur vids by the way keep them coming mate
If anyone doesn't like your videos they can watch something else. I, personally, appreciate the time you put into it. I watched closely how you did the stitching. Thank you. Ladd
I had to go back and forth a bit on this one and do a before and after. The craftsmanship as always was just impeccable, but wasn't sure on concept. But once i saw how the colors played out i see what the customer had in mind. Smooth shoe and as you said "upped the game" on them. More fabulous amd interesting work! Please keep it coming.
Fantastic upscale job....shoes are superb beyond the manufacturer concept and makes me want to get a pair. I did manage to have a pair of Florsheim long wings redrafted locally with bras eyelets and Vibram non slip soles and heels. They also turned out casual and contemporary. Of course the idea came FM a previous video. You make me rock for a 78 yr old retired Anglic Priest and former military chaplain..Padre to the Canadian Airborne Regiment. Still trying to keep a positive outlook with a younger persona. Thanks Steve for your videos!
Beautiful the way you customized those shoes and made the them look so gorgeous. I love the natural leather look on the heal block, & soul. Great job as always Steve. And your nice customer had a smile from ear to ear when he saw his shoes. He looked very happy! 🤩 I enjoyed watching & always learn something new. 😊
These were nice shoes as they were, but even better after you had your hands on them. Love seeing you apply your skills and craftmanship to every item in these videos and enjoy watching every one of your videos
Sir, the way you dissected that shoe appeared to be an artist at work. Really enjoyed watching you work. You should feel proud of your profession. One should now know why handcrafted shoes cost so much.
We should be thanking you Steve, for sharing all that you have thus far. Whether it's a repetitive video, something completely new, positive or negative thoughts - we're glad you're with us. Because we're damn sure here with you 🙏🏻
Bless you son, after 43 years of working with and beating up my hands please take good care of yours. Your strength,which is obvious, can be a detriment.
Your video came across my search recommendation yesterday and I really enjoyed your video (black channel bag with blue inner)and the extra tips you offered. Thank you from Las Vegas Nevada. Suscribed👍🏼
wow... those turned out really sharp, I love the natural colours. It really speaks to your skills that people are sending you brand new shoes to improve them.
I appreciate the customer response.

Yup EXACTLY!!!
I let Steve use his creative choice for the bottom color stitch thread. He also did his own thing with the brass nails on the bottom!

I watch your videos every night before bed. When you start working on those shoes all my stress just melts away. Don’t stop making videos buddy!
I’m glad I could help
Well always love the customers telling Steve ,smile on the face ,thx for project and your time ,👍👍👍see you next time

cheers from Madrid
You make the shoe the way the customer wants. This is really nice. The shoes are a great job. Thanks you.
Your patience and attention to detail are second-to-none. I'm happy that someone else commissioned your expertise, because I'm certain I couldn't afford to. Great job as usual‼️😁

Another Project By The Master 😮😮😮😀 Wow Those Longwings Are Incredible And Your Custom Accents Steve are Awesome 😮😮😮😀😊
Those look incredible. The natural waxed bottoms with the mid-sole and nice thick JR sole look just incredible.
Meticulous Superb work Bedo ...I enjoy watching your repairs and I love how you entertain yourself on camera, classic man! :) “Lets continue”
Your work is way ahead of Alden and Carmina :)

-Loved this entire video! This is my favorite shoe makeover yet. Vin is fortunate to own that shoe! Stitching the vertical welt was badass!
Bro repetition is good. I enjoy your stories and you are so inspirational. I never thought I'd be watching some dude on YT restore shoes for hours😂
What a fantastic makeover. It looks better than when it came it. Well done sir.
Love customer response . Great idea. Very relax to watch your videos. You do great work.
One of your best videos. The natural welt really makes the shoes pop.
Steve, Beautiful piece of work ! Vin will be wearing a work of art...Thanks for the video !
Awesome - you made a great looking shoe look so much better. The customer explained the look he wanted and you delivered. The sole edges actually look like fine wood. You are a cobbler and an artist.
Hope more people can wear such comfortable shoes, thank you for your video
I believe this alteration to this classic shoe is one of your finest creations!.......thank you for these videos........howdy from Branson Missouri!
We love that you are just you. Anything else would not be authentic. 👠
These shoes were “nice” from the factory, they are now exquisite. Great job Steve!
Thank you for just being you. Your videos are never boring I'm always watching and waiting for your humor to pop out.
Steve, a true artist at work. Nice one mate. All the best from Essex England 👌
I love your videos. They calm me down. Don't worry about beeing repetitive... your work might be but your personality makes it fun every time :-)
Well done!!! I really enjoyed that!!! Thanks uncle B.!!! Have a great day, and thank you for sharing!!!
They were a good looking shoe to start with, but really handsome by the time they were finished. Nicely done, young man. 🇬🇧

Looks like a piece of art. I would not want wear them. So nice!
Some of the most beautiful shoes I've seen you do Uncle Steve!
Your videos are great in my opinion, the editing and close in camera work is what sets your videos apart. Thanks for posting.
Steve,
You are an artist, what a beautiful job
Man those came out awesome! He couldn’t stop smiling! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have admired this style of shoe for about 50 years but never knew the term "long-wing". Thanks you for the video.
I’ve always called them longboats!

I love your honesty and service quality , you are truly talented artist !
Not bad??? Steve they turned out excellent, amazing craftsmanship indeed. Excellent!!! Thank you for your awesome video.
