- This was a pretty big job. The difficulty is trying to work with old leather. I conditioned it about 6 times. I had fun doing this project.

Imagine someone else 100 years from now explaining who Steve is and re-repairing this same bag. Thanks to Steve, this bags story continues.
Yes , very nice touch with the note and business card, but, i would right on the note a couple word about the guy who made it in the first place - Henry Likely form Rochester 1846 - 1925.
Well that ain’t gonner happen, and thats cos our governments will have wiped us out with vaccinations to hardly lethal viruses.
That would be really easy for the next dude 100 years into the future. There's a video diary for him to see what Steve did.
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 Yes exactly. And imagine this scenario for all of humanity, big potential, big heaven on earth.
Steve, when I am at my lowest I find you for peace. God hears my prayers but you are a great angel. Thank you dear friend.

Your fingers look that way because of hard work
You have to earn those lines and cracks
Thats a true tradesman
Leather masters hands there
Those are working man's hands. Never apologize for them. You work hard at an honest living and you're very talented to boot. The only problem with your hands being like that, is they can be very painful for you, making it hard to handle your job. Aside from that, those are gorgeous hands providing for your family.
I am so impressed with everything you do but this one just blew me away. Absolutely beautiful. I NEVER get tired of watching you work. If that case could talk imagine stories it could tell.
You are a Master Craftsman! You are the BEST! NO Apologies!
What a cool youch leaving a note and business card. Imagine 100 years from now, another skilled craftsman like yourself opens it and finds it. I bet that would make his day, Like when you were looking for an old newspaper. A true living time capsule.
The sound that old leather makes is very pleasing to the ears.😊
The stories that bag could tell, but thanks to you, it'll live to tell another tale.
That bag was in pretty good shape for its age. I love watching you repair all these old bags like this.
I like watch old stuff being restored, you did very great job, very great!!
Good morning sir, watching u as i drink my 2nd cup of coffee…thank you sir!
There just aren't many people like you, god bless you sir!
Love the end when you gave advice to a great day! Chill! ♥️🙋♀️🙏🕊🌞
Every day that your waking up and are breathing i.e you are still alive is a good day.
I totally feel you channeling your late brothers energy when you were doing this job..turned out excellent
I really hope the man you restored the bag for has someone in his family to pass the bag down to that will appreciate the bag, it's history and your remarkable restoration. It's strange to me that in my family there are people that value and cherish things from my relatives and ancestors and others for whom nothing has sentimental value at all. It's my hope that the bags owner will pick wisely who the bag belongs to next. The history of the doctor that originally owned it and the bag itself need to accompany the bag on it's journey into the future. A copy of the restoration video would be nice too!
Agree with you it's sad how some don't appreciate history so many have the mindset just to throw it away and buy new if needed. I to see this with close family members and it's depressing to think of the things that were possibly given to goodwill or tossed in trash
Bag repairs are my favorite videos of yours.
I didn’t wanted to see this video I don’t know why I just hit next but am glad I saw this cause it was wonderful the idea of getting your dads remembrance in that tattoo and also the paper of your reference a Time Capsule nice 👍…. GOD BLESS YOU !!!
I just noticed the tattoo of your father halfway through the video. Very cool
I actually jumped in my chair when you were stitching in the basement and ran over the edge, but you fixed it up beautifully.
When I was training, the old guys used to say You're gonna make some mistakes, but the gauge of a craftsman is how well he can fix his mistakes- or something to that effect
Great job Mr. Bedo
You're full of shit, you can't see it happen.
Honestly. You are the nicest human! You really spread good vibes. Cheers to you and your family 🇺🇸
"Hey man, got any pumice and lotion for those hands?" 🤣 those are handsome workin' man's hands!
A real pleasure watching the best of the best,what a restoration.
Die Doktor Tasche ist richtig super geworden. Sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Tolle Arbeit!!!😊😊😊
Brilliant, just brilliant Steve.
Once again you hit this one out of the ballpark Steve. You are always amazing. That time capsule idea is very fitting. Congratulations on a job well done.
A time capsule bag. That’s fabulous. Another brilliant job 😍. X
I like the old worn look. It speaks to the bag's history.
It is very dry looking - I mean it is over 100 so 🤷
I would have preferred for him to repair the small things, give it a good cleaning & conditioning to re-hydrate the leather. IMHO
Yeah, I think it looked pretty ok to be honest. On the other hand, I also get to refresh the material at some point (keeping the old stuff) and this still got enough to have the spirit still in there. My old computer from when I was young is now worth quite a bit, but I didn't remember it being yellow and stuff, it was white. So I actually changed the shell (sometimes also frowned upon), because this is how I remember it. :)
Unfortunately most of the stuff IS very dry and with use would crack and deteriorate, especially in the folding areas. This is why he specifically replaces all the folding areas and keeps the rest of the bag. It wouldn't be usable with all of the original leather, its much too far gone.
Make it a good day. Thanks for that. It rings so true these days.
Steve you never disappoint with these re-crafted masterpieces! The story lives on thanks to you!
I can’t believe how good that canvas looks. Oh it turned out beautiful!
like the new tat, love the bag, and your message to make everyday count! Very inspirational.
That Adler is a beauty!
Wow! The bag is amazing! As a historian I love your “time capsule.” Thank you for your message about making the day great. It meant something. ❤️ Lastly, I think you honored your Father so creatively with that tattoo. He is always with you. 👍👜
What a great way to save a Piece of history. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Great video. A real class job. I love the paper and business card inside - what a superb touch 👌🏾Tattoo idea really good as well!! 🤩
I bought a Rebecca Minkoff bag and restored it thanks to watching your videos. Maybe one day I'll make a designer ,me, bag.
Dude you're killing me - I know how you feel - love to all the dads.
Now this one is 'Challengingly' interesting job.
"My name is Steve Doudaklian. I own and operate Bedo's Leatherworks LLC in Falls Church Virginia. I'm an Armenian immigrant who moved to USA from Beirut Lebanon with my family in 1977. Today is may 30th 2022 and a customer brought this Henry Likly Doctors bag in for a little restoration. I did the best I could with what I had to work with. Fascinating story on the Likly Company, as I can tell, this bag is over 100 years old. I've made a video of the restoration which is on my you tube channel."
Very nice! Tring Shoe Repairs sent me here. Subscribed! :)
So I started watching this early in the morning before breakfast, and near the end you sat down to some coffee and reminded your viewers to "make it a good day".
I am the sort of person who likes to reinforce good behavior whenever possible, and wanted to thank you for that. You never know who is listening to you, or what they are actually "hearing" when you talk. So if you are going to bother to speak, then why not try to be positive?
I think I needed to hear that phrase more than I care to admit. But thank you for that all the same.
You earned the sub from me before that, but your simple statement reinforced that choice to be one that shall be permanent instead of remaining until I become bored.
Likewise, I hope you yourself have a great day too.
My Goodness your a Master of your CRAFT!!!!!! Wow
Your dad on your arm, how cool is that! Outstanding work on the bag too. it's always a surprise to see a new video from you. Thank you for that.
Nice to see a master craftsman at work👍
Beautiful work Steve, as always. And your advice about making today a good day is very appropriate. Your tatt is really cool!!
Good job and great tattoo Steve. Great tattoo.
A nice bag Steve a lovely repair putting plenty of life back into the bag 👍 Also liked the new tattoo of your Dad much respect sir
Love these videos. I gotta go make some coffee ☕!
You sir are an artist!
You’re a cool guy with the tribute to your father and everything. Even though I didn’t here hammer time at all. Peace brother
So you basically built a brand new bag. Impressive as always.
Great job with great result! I would have loved to see the reaction of the owner. 😊
Love the speech at the end✌️💖
As an old school mechanic, I can really appreciate the craftsmanship you put into every job. Keep up the good work, there are fewer of us left everyday.
Hey brother Steve !! Long time my friend. I love that you put a letter and your card in that beautiful bag !! I do the same when I'm remodeling an old Victorian home . I figure in a hundred years someone will be remodeling again and they will see what year and who did it. A fun thing for me. I've been in this business for 55 years and I did get one call from a job I did 30 years ago ! And I went back to the job and did another remodel job in another part of the home. Love it brother , miss ya man !
Wow!!! Amazing. What a restoration.
Steve, you are a magician. Your work is impeccable. Beautiful. God Bless
It's the type of bag that the doctor brought the new baby in when I was little!
Birdy
Amazing job. Thanks to you i finished another project.
What a great bag. The history is everything with this vintage bag. Very pretty. Thank you
What a transformation, good job Steve.... And those are working man's hands, nothing wrong with them 😜 keep up the great content.
That was an awesome repair , entertaining , and educational as always .. what a Fine job !!!
Spectacular work, Steve! You’re a national treasure with these pieces you manage to restore! Bravo!
Your such a gem and remind me of my grandfathers craft as a mills man making beautiful wood pieces. Quality that lasts lifetimes. Keep up the wonderful work! You bring people happiness. Thank you Bedo!
You are a true master and great to watch. Fantastic job on the doctors bag. P.s. love the new tattoo.
Fantastic repair. I also like the Time Capsule idea.
Great Back Story. I live in Rochester and 93 State Street is now a parking lot across from the Federal Building. Right down the road from Kodak Tower which is 343. Near High Falls. It was right in the middle of the commerce area in the 19th century where the Genesee River was used for mechanical power.
great job Steve as usual. Love the tattoo to keep memories alive
I love the idea of your note
Steve, any day with one of your video is a great day sir. Your restoration on the bad was nothing short of miraculous. You can be very proud of your work. Thanks Steve. Cheers from Texas!
Hi steve Is really beautiful bag ,this bag Is for a artesian man for you .Regards fron spa in🎩
Yet another fine project completed. Fascinating watching you removing the leather, tracing onto newer leather and completing the bag. I liked the touch of you leaving your own ‘time capsule’ in the base. Thanks for another great video. Shine on Steve
Great works as always.. Great tattoo to..
Very interesting video Steveroo... AND amazing work once again.... I am just amazed how you can do this type of repair... AND you are right, make it a "good day",,,!!!GG.
Truly you have a gift. To do that bag over a work of art. Wonderful
Nice job, you are truly an artist sir. Always a pleasure to watch you work!
Simply put, the bag is stunning. BRAVO!
Love watching your videos!!!! This one was great to watch. The bag looks incredible.
Beautiful job! Anyone would be thrilled to have this bag back. Thanks for the pep talk also.
BEAUTIFUL job, as always! That's such a sweet family photo. Maybe include it in your next time capsule? I know that when thatchers in Europe re-thatch a roof, they often put info in a jar for then next thatchers to find. It's a nice bit of history and personalizes it, too.
This was a stunningly gorgeous restoration! Well done! 👏👏👏
The fingers of a craftsman may not look that good but what they produce looks beautiful ..
The background research was very cool!!!
Bravo, I've missed your videos Steve.
Why?? I’ve uploaded like 5 in the past 30 days or so.
Wonderful work Steve. Such a deft touch with care to nod your head to its past whilst making it totally functional. Bring on another 💯 years.
Beautiful workmanship the bag looks beautiful
Nice work. The bag looks beautiful.
Hi Steve, you know how much I love a "bag video"😁and this one was AMAZING. You said that the bag was 100 years old - which makes it an antique - but after the work you've done, it ceases to be just an antique....it has had life sewn back into it....it lives again! Much love and respect to you and yours from the UK 😁👍
Beautiful!! I can't stop sneezing. Just looking at all the dust and years of stuff coming out of the lining...pass the tissues please.
I love that you read the back story!! Thank you.
Wow. I could definitely live with that bag. Great work.
The Master has again worked his magic. Nice work Steve. Great tattoo my friend.
Great Bag man wow that bag looks SO good now ! Well done indeed. Worth every single penny. Keep on keeping on!
Just a beautiful, beautiful job Steve! That hand-stitching...I bet it gave your fingers a good workout. Keep it coming Steve and thanks for the encouraging words.
Screw that…..those are working hands! Another amazing job as usual!
Another amazing video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Let’s continue!
This is an awesome reconstruction ! You are a Master artisan.
Great job Steve. Thanks for sharing!!!
