    Zeus is an adorable head tilter. Loved hearing how you started helping your dad in the workshop. Very interesting.

    • @grumpynanny7402

      I found it interesting too. Hid father would be very proud.

    • @maryannanderson7517
      @maryannanderson7517 Před 4 lety

      Zeus is going to make YOU mess up? Um, I think it is more likely that perhaps if you keep him waiting much longer you are going to make HIM mess up. When you gotta go you gotta go and that applies to dogs as well as people. I loved all the head tilting. Great dog! I appreciated hearing your backstory and I have enjoyed watching a great craftsman at work. There are people who know how to do their job and then there are people who REALLY know how to do their job. You fall into the latter category. I just recently found your channel so I am still working my through all your older videos. New subscriber from Nashville, Tennessee.

    @Traderjoe Před 4 lety +17

    It’s good to hear your back history and the struggles you had to endure as a young immigrant, and you grew up to be a fine man and your father would be incredibly proud of your success. What I like about you is you are independent and self supporting and I’m sure he instilled that in you and it’s truly the American dream and the stuff that made us great in the past and will continue to in the future as long as this spirit is rewarded. I’m pretty certain that your pops wouldn’t have left Lebanon if they had a similar reward system in place and we need to keep this going for future immigrants to achieve this too. Handouts don’t build character. Handouts build dependency. Bless you, sir!

  • @s.k.3891

    Steve, your life story is interesting and touching. I also came to the US as a young teenager (from Greece), faced similar problems in school. My dad was a blacksmith, he made and sharpened knives, and pruning hooks.
    Thanks again

      @stricht8 Před 4 lety +1

      S. K. I came here from Greece too. Stupid kids would make fun of me for all sorts of things but I got a kick out of it when one kid called me Zeus!

      @maryannanderson7517 Před 4 lety

      Rainwater739, you are so correct. I love watching Andrew Camarata because he has a great work ethic that shows through in every project he takes and his home is a castle he has built out of storage containers! So his videos are already pretty awesome but they are so much greater because Levi his dog goes with him on most of his jobs to supervise. Levi has added an apprentice named Cody, an adorable puppy who is being taught the ropes by Levi.

    Steve, Thank you for sharing your personal story. Your dad would be proud of you! Also, thanks for sharing the workings of your Landis Outsole Stitcher. Please video the next time you clean it. The inner workings and the engineering of those old machines is stunning. No microchips, no coding or 3-D imagining, just good old engineering and metal. Keep up the good work!

    @kevinwaycaster Před 4 lety +2

    Love your craftsmanship! I thoroughly enjoy watching a master no matter what the trade. Especially enjoyed hearing your history. Knew you were lebanese but never heard the story (I’m fairly new to your channel). Just proud to call you a fellow American now. The USA is better for you being here. Thank God your parents made the amazing journey in ‘77!!!!!!!!!!

  • @laurena5070
    @laurena5070 Před 4 lety +2

    On another note, your dad would be proud.

  • @theoldbigmoose
    @theoldbigmoose Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for the story Steve! So many of us who owe all we have to our Dad's teaching.... so wish they were still around to share our success and how we long to hear their voice again! ... and so we can say "Thanks!" to them in a very big way.

    Bedo, Thank You so much for sharing. I knew there was a reason why you are so genuine and kind. I have great admiration and respect for you. Your craft and skill is truly a piece of you that you give lovingly to each customer. I would be so honored to have one of your masterpieces. Maybe one day. My son lives in VA.
    God Bless,

  • @awoodworker
    @awoodworker Před 4 lety +2

    I enjoy watching a master at his trade. You have awesome control of that knife when you are separating the sole from the shoe. I shudder to think of me trying that. It would not end well for me or the nice leather shoe. lol I am in my low 60s and I can remember as a kid going downtown with my best friend Nick. His dad made and repaired shoes. We would go watch him work. He had a bench in the front window of the store and people would stop and watch. Great memories. Nicks Dad is 90 now and loves to talk about those days. Linda Perry sings that song. It is a song that once you hear it you can't shake it.lol I love her voice. She is the wife of actress Sarah Gilbert . New subscriber. This is just the second video of yours I have seen , but I will watch many more.

    Hi Steve, those shoes were marvellous, great job.
    Lovely to hear about your early years. You had a great teacher, I'm positive your Father would be so proud of you.
    Nice family photos on the wall...👍

  • @joeshmoe7967
    @joeshmoe7967 Před 4 lety +2

    Would love to see customer reactions from time to time. You did such a sweet job on these. Really dig that pattern you created around the sole perimeter. The customer would have to have had a smile a mile wide.
    Love the back story, bitter sweet. Great success, but sad your father isn't around to see it. Every year I just keep hoping my folk's
    will be around just a few more years as I try to finally make something of myself. If they go before I 'make it', it is gonna be tough.

  • @dirkg7062
    @dirkg7062 Před 4 lety +3

    Beautiful job Steve!! They look great! Loved the backstory on how you got started. I'm sure your father is looking down on you and is very proud of what he sees. Like how you added your dog in the video. Can't wait to order a T shirt or two (xl).

  • @shawnhayden6674
    @shawnhayden6674 Před 3 lety +1

    There is a video or two where you walk us through the shop and those videos are fantastic with a little story telling but this video from 24:24 to 29:05 mark is some of the best side commentary on your channel ever. I wish I could mark and rank these video files on my CZcams so I could replay them over and over. The fact is, some of your personal commentary is equal or more powerful than the leatherwork. As a human being you are a sum of parts and when you share that stuff it can be most endearing.

  • @TheEaglesvisions
    @TheEaglesvisions Před 4 lety +2

    Bedo, coming from a man with larger feet and shoe needs you do such favors by making a difficult find in the first place into a work of art.
    Your a saint and a true gentleman;-) Am sure the man who owns these shoes is very very grateful to find a expert craftsmen for his needs.
    Be exceptionally blessed as always and thanks for feeding us clean oats that haven't been thru the horse already. Love your german shepard what a great dog;-) so smart eh! Much Peace BBh

    Anyone complaining about the editing is wasting their time watching your videos. I learn something with each one. Today's lesson was about wasted motion. I noticed as you reached for a nail when nailing the heel base, you ran your thumb over the nail you just set to make sure it was flush with the surface.

    @martintanz9098 Před 4 lety

    Steve, it is always a treat watching a real artist go to work on a pair of shoes most cobblers would not even try to repair. I think you are too humble about your skills, saying you are not perfect. While that is probably true, the thing you do is, more often than not, you make the shoes better than when they were brand new, and that is something. I have a local guy I use for most of my shoe repair. I like him. He keeps my AE shoes in good repair so they don't get to the sad state those Fifth Street boots got to. And his rates are reasonable. BUT, he doesn't make my shoes better than they were when they were new.

    Hey Steve: your patching machine has a walking foot: it really helps to hold the layers together without slipping while you stitch. An awesome addition to sewing machines! Thank you for sharing your Armenian background and childhood (broken nose included)! And while your father might not believe how you've expanded, he would be very proud. No matter the complaints about the noise: It's Hammertime! (Love that Zeus!)

    Great video, your projects always show a different aspect of your skills. I loved your story, you have a way of looking into the camera and being genuine. You experienced the immigrant life what with your father starting small, you seeing that it could be so much more, and you did it. You are now a proud American and are living the American dream. I wish the best for you always. Steve the brawler, who knew!!

    Loved your background story of how you became a master cobbler. I have no doubt your dad is looking over you. And thinking that's my son. How proud he is of you. You do some great work. I'm no cobbler but I enjoy watching your your work. We always want bigger and better things in life. But you know sometimes we have to make do with what we got. I love the character of your shop and your editing. It's the real deal. Doesn't always have to be fancy editing. To show your craft. Thanks for sharing your skill. Great work as always my friend. And a big hi from across the pond uk.
