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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
Excellent upgrade. My favorite heavy metal channel on RU-vid 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.
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
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.
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‼️😁
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!!
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, 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!🙂
Excellent worker. I believe this chap is by far the most skilled of all of the people loading to RU-vid. 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.
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.
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.
I always wonder how you go at these things with a razor blade and don't cut anything you don't mean to. Straight lines, no deviance. Pure magic in my eyes.
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!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh damn. i have a pair of suede alden longwings that i wanted for over 7 years and now i haved had them for almost two years and i can say that i am blown away at the quality of these shoes. Now with that being said it was around 700ish price point but well worth it. NO creases in the vamps in almost two years all i do is keep them brushed and use a coat of protectant. and shoe trees. I will definitely be getting a pair of cordovan next but getting ravello is like getting a new lambo for my feet! This work on the shoe is incredible and sooooooooooooo clean. i just maybe giving you a call when i get mine to have this done!
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.
A few weeks ago I wrote Alden a very respectful email asking about their use of fiberboard in the heals and midsoles. No response to date. Until Alden fixes these problems, I am done with them. However, I still love Steve’s videos remaking them the right way.
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. 👍
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.
HOLY MOLY..I don’t own anything quality for footwear, always grew up going to good will and I got lucky once with a pair of doc martens that were just a size smaller and I wore them for over 3 years I loved them.
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 🙏🏻
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.
