I think the reason why it bothers people that you sharpen your 'disposable blades' is because they're so cheap to them but what they don't realize is that you run a business. You probably go through thousands of blades a year. Now imagine if you didn't sharpen them how many would you actually go through? It makes sense as a business person that a few swipes on a file or sharpening stone to extend the life of a blade, it helps the overall profitability of the business.

This video has everything: the fashion, the “hey man”, the sharpening of the blade, the detailed explanations, the spunk, the attention to detail, the details about tying off the threads, and just overall excellent, masterful work. I bought a sewing machine to hem some of my pants and remember having a hell of a time. I think I should use some glue in the process to make things easier. Of course, I do prefer the shoe content, but the bag content just shows your amazing talent with a sewing machine among other things. I hate bobbins as well. I think that the patina on the bottom is warranted because of the age of the bag. Brilliant work as usual!

"I hate bobbins" don't we all.

You can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes!

So you know those old razor sharpeners that you'd pull a cord on to move the mechanism? Man, imagine if the 'naysayers' saw that kind of a device for these blades. They'd lose their minds. :))

Not hard to see why you get compensated as much as you do. Better than new! On all your work.

I like these videos where he talks openly and explains things.

They say: "Shoemaker without boots", And you have stylish shoes, it's beautiful

‘HEY MAN, stop sharpening your tools that you need to actually work, it drives me crazy!’ 😂 some people

This low-key makes me wanna buy a purse just to disassemble it!

Beautiful work as usual ... Thx for posting and ''Let's Continue '' ...

Phew! I am so glad you heard me yelling at the screen to add the leather trim! Outstanding job!👍🏼🇨🇦

I like how you said the other way of fixing did not speak to you. You chose well. Great job.

Thank you for the explanation on the red rubber sole.

I like all your videos, but I really like the elegant solution to the wear on the side gussets in this one, nice work!

It’s amazing how you have a really good steady hand when you stitch

You are a true artisan and an entertainer. Thank you. I quite enjoyed this calming video with my morning coffee

I sharpen my razors all the time to extend their life. Very nice work.

Great job!I like the way you put that leather on the ends

You turned this bag into a beauty again, and it was looking a little beastly before your masterful hands and sharp blade restored it to its former glory! Great work Steve!
