Time and again I have watched your shaking hands place two pieces of a project in perfect alignment. Amazing.

Your work is just amazing! True craftsman. It’s awesome to watch you not only bring old shoes back to life, but jackets, purses, bags, and really anything made of leather. Bravo, sir.

I found your channel not too long ago, and I’ve binge watched your videos. I am amazed at all the different things you do! I love watching you work, and the final result is always amazing. I’m so glad I found your channel.

I have ben watching since the beginning of CORONAVIRUS 2019….and I have learned so much when it comes to handbag repair…. I purchase vintage handbags and restore them for my personal use….let’s continue 👍🏽

I mostly 12:41 come here for the sewing parts, I like how you adjusted when you needed an extra half stitch to get you into the corner. Excellent as usual

these are easily some of my favorite videos from you, Steve. I love the focus and the stillness of it and I LOVE hearing the sounds. I also really appreciate that you don't just fix or repair things, you make them better.

This video was very enjoyable. As much as we all love listening to you, just watching you can also be satisfying.

Beautiful video with only the sounds of a master at work. Thanks

please more ASMR from you!!! Would love to see you restore a shoe with no talking, just edits and close ups 😍

Large job or small job, your attention to the details is spot on Steve, great video but I missed your voice on the repair, you are a class act, take care.

Just like new, as is everthing you do your magic on. Thanks for posting

Your craftsmanship is a wonder to watch! Happy to have found your channel. I'd love a video of how to care for our loved leather purses and shoes!

That was a great repair Steve a small very delicate purse deconstructed but put back together and made as good as new 😊

Awesome.. but we need the steve antics lol.. hammer time let's continue . Coffee time ⏲️

The great ones make it look so easy! Thank you for another amazing video.

That razor blade is super sharp, cut like butter. The ASMR cutting sounds are so good. Great job on this project!

A few of my favorite things - ASMR and your work! Dreams do come true!

Hi Steve 🙋🏽. It's incredible to see what these expensive wallets are made of. It's ridiculous for the price people pay for them. When you take them apart I'm just flabbergasted ‼️ WOW that's incredible ‼️🤔🧐🤨👁️👁️.

A friend of mine has wanted a Louis Vuitton purse for the longest. She was gifted one about 2 years ago. I really thought she knew what they were made of. Then, one day, we were talking about how expensive they could get. I remarked that I never thought a purse that wasn't leather could cost so much. She never knew it wasn't leather...

I often question why some people restore what they do, like this relatively inexpensive piece; the restoration probably cost twice what this piece originally cost. What I can never question, however, is why they came to you…. You’re work speaks for itself. You’re a true craftsman, a master of his trade. As always, great job with the restoration. Bravo 👏

He's mentioned lots of reasons in the past, with "sentimental value" easily being far and away the most common reason mentioned, such as a gift from a family member who passed away. Other reasons I remember hearing are designs no longer available, or current version is lower quality but higher cost, restoring something as a gift for someone else, lots of reasons.

@@malcolmlane-ley2044 relatively. But I have had several and these, before bidenomics, would go for $200-$300. Expensive, compared to target and Walmart, and still pricier the no-name true leather counterparts of similar design. But you pay a premium for the name…so where a similar design, no name, true leather, would set you back $100-$200, a Gucci at $300-$400 isn’t a far stretch… I’m not sure what you relate to, a Hyundai vs a Lexus, a baofung vs a yeasu, pirelli vs kumofast….😅 they’re not cheap, but relatively speaking….I can imagine this work was $600-$1000, for all that time spent and the price of a master craftsman…heck, mechanics at dealers charge $100 an hour. Easily 6hrs spent here.

We love us some cotton-pickin' cobbler action! And Bick4 to the rescue on that leather.

Like I said many times, Steveroo can repair ANYTHING...! The "MASTER"...Greg...IN

This installment reminds me of Ray Doty's "Wordless Workshop" in the back of "Family Handyman" magazine! Perfect!

HI, STEVE!!! I don't know if you received it, but a couple years ago, I sent you a "Lillibrush" from Amazon...@8:13, when you're picking stitches, THAT is what the Lillibrush was for!! Drag the edge along the stitches, and basically scrape them right off...lol it's silicone or something, wouldn't hurt the leather. Love you, Steve!!! ❤

Steve every video of yours is therapuedic / asmr, theres so much garbage on the market , watching shoes etc being rebuilt to a high standard is a pleasure.

First time I’ve seen you refurbish a wallet. Great craftsmanship there Steve just like your other projects. Shine on.

Another successful project. Such an improvement. Looks very good.

"hey man!" How come there's no hammer time? Let's continue. Cheers. Amazing as always.

Like brand new. Looks great.

Funny how it seems that my mood for a simple video to just *watch* and not actually *listen* to coincides with you releasing a video with no narration :D Of course, I absolutely adore listening to your narration, too! - it's just sometimes, it's nice to just sit back and lose oneself in the process alone :D

Steve, you are amazing! Nothing is impossible with you. It's so satisfying to see the finished product. God bless! Take care!

You’re the man, Steve. Amazing how much care you put into these videos to share your knowledge, expertise and work ethic to the up and comers. If I was getting into the business, I think it’d be the only education I’d need. Now leeets continue 👍

As much as I enjoy your craftsmanship, I enjoy your personality in the videos. Not quite a Bedo’s video without it imo.

That's a damn stylish piece, evidently a prized EDC. The owner will be well chuffed 🌝

Q: Steve. When you are resewing on the machine, do you do a test to find the exact stitch length of the original. On a small piece of fabric? Or, once you dial it in on an inside piece, you are pretty much certain the entire wallet uses the same length? Your stitch placement (over the hundreds of projects I have watched) is spot on.

It's all ways good to see you work. God bless you axper 🇦🇲

Hahahahaha, I turned the volumn all the way up.....before I realised it was silent. Very good

Great Transformation. I know this is an ASMR video but I missed the step by step dialogue.

In London we have a name for people who use Gucci gear and it's Chav! But seriously Steve - no comments or coffee, no banter or bitching but most of all no triggering - that's it I'm out a here.

I think hearing your voice is more ASMR than quiet ASMR. I wanted to hear how you got that replacement fabric, like maybe from another project. The sewing using existing holes is amazing. Do you whip out your micrometer and measure, then fine adjust the machine several times?

Well done Steve a Silk purse from a Sows Ear

If I was this customer I might have asked if you could make me a new wallet from scratch on the same budget. Probably would have been even nicer than this one turned out and some times starting from new is easier than major surgery lol

I missed your happy chattering

I like it when you talk.

I couldn't find the exact match.Plain little bi-folds in the $400-500 range. With this detail and the clasp, probably $800-1000 brand new.

Great video, l love that someone doesn’t discard an item and replaces it but chooses to have it restored. Miss your voice though in the video xx

11:53. I can’t really tell but it looks like you’re running that thread through the same holes already in the leather. If that’s the case I was wondering how you get everything to line up on the machine. Do you determine the amount of threads per inch and set your machine for that “step-over” distance and have the spacing controlled by those two little metal things that look like feet near the needle, or do you need to control the spacing manually as you pull the leather through? 🤔

@BedosLeatherworksLLC

There is a thread size setting and you simply try to figure out the exact size.
