I'm a female who, due to bone deformities, has no lower legs. My Fiancé doesn't wear dress shoes at all. I have no idea why I watch shoe restoration videos, but I enjoy them so much. I guess it's better than pimple videos!? LOL
These are the Bob Ross videos of this era. Has a calming quality. Some cooking vids on YT are like that: not much talking, just preparation and cooking. :
@@boomdos4265 could you please direct me to one of those cooking channels you speak off, I like these kind of videos where you mainly hear the tools and the craft being perform.
Here ya go, you asked, and I went and I found one...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CKJIYsnNQy4.html There's like 2 Chinese accounts that do this
Your videos have helped me tremendously in keeping my shoes looking tip top and restoring my older shoes to new life. May I also say they are quite relaxing to watch after a long day at work
Man I haven’t done a mirror tip on shoes since I was in the Navy, and that was a loooooong time ago, I definitely like what you did here, I just have to see a thorough how to do video
I want to send you a pair of my shoes for the mirror shine. They are brand new and I need that shine. How much do you charge and how do I go about starting the process of sending you my shoes?
You needed a lot of layers of acetone to remove the finishing of the shoes... that means AE have a very rich colors!! I have a few Ace marks shoes and after using Reno mat for remove the mirror shine the color of the toes were also removed just with one application!! Don’t know what kind of paint they use but is not very resistant to acetone or Reno. Mat 🤔
Impressive, bravo! Do you think it’d be possible to turn AE Cornwallis on Walnut to a Merlot-like with patina? If so, how much would something like that run?
Think I may have messed up my order of operations. After removing the factory finish on a pair of Corcoran 1510's I treated the leather with a tung oil (I wanted maximum absorption to make them as water resistant as possible) should I acetone them again before dying to make sure the dye is fully absorbed by the leather? Or should I just proceed as is?
Hi Preston, why do you prefer the use of pure acetone and not for example Saphir Réno‘Mat for removing all the old waxes and previous polish and buff and treatments on the leather ? Is the end result the same or not, thank you
Hi, I have a pair of RM Williams hand patinated boots, they are a tan/burgundy colour with beautiful leather, the polish recommended is neutral but each time I use it the patination is removed a little, can you recommend a Saphir colour combo? I can email you a pic if you wish.
With a good polish, i like every shoe i see. Without it i don't like the exact same shoe when going shopping so shops should do some work and display good polish shoes, that would be easy attraction for customers if they invest in some hardwork.
I really like what you’re doing It’s gives me a good experience . But I have a very simple question about the background music I really like it and I wish you to help me find it on RU-vid if you have a link ,Thank you ...
Killer vid as always bro...the shots look great, the sounds of the leather fantastic, and the results are to die for. Question...I got a pair of Beckett Simonon loafers, and I haven't used any polish on them yet. Should I just skip the acetone part if I want to dye a patina?
Ciao la punta lucida L hai fatto con lo spray...... 😒😒 i calzolai utilizzano uno spray lucido per 👞 non cera lacca come si vede nel video per la lucidatura....?!?
I didn’t use any sprays. I used pate de lux wax by Saphir. If you’d like to see me do it in real time, watch my video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2G5DhcVEHbM.html
Incredible. You make it look easy, sir. Question tho- Did you replace the shoe laces? I think those are more thicker than the original laces they come with
Hello İ really appreciate your work and İ wonder if it is possible that you can add which product you used with detail (colour etc.) İn video expression for your project. With this way subscribers like me can find easily with search bar regarding our need and desire and of course it helps you to increase your hit and subscribe.. Thnx
If used within reason, it’s perfectly safe. After excessive use, the leather will break down but that requires so much acetone that no reasonable person could do it by accident.
