You didn’t do this for the money Steve. You did this for a deeper meaning. How many times did you think of your dad while do this project, I thought of mine while looking at this video. I think the plaque from YouTub came at the right time, you deserved it , congratulations Steve and I wish you many more awards ahead of you. 👍
@Bulldozer Only 800 usd for this restoration? That bag was a mess.
And BTW -it’s $800 minus $200 for the leather material used! Also, you can subtract the rent, lights, heat, electric and taxes! Plus video production so we could watch it! So the “days pay” isn’t as huge as you think! Great job Steve!
@Bulldozer It is only logical that quality work is well compensated.
@Bulldozer yep! Its about the money.
@@renovation-maison only?.......sick
I thought I recognized Chris. I went to High School with Chris Swadener. He flew C130s.
That’s AWSOME
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Beautiful work. If you would like to reduce hand tremors and improve your fine muscle control, look into Magnesium Malate supplements. There are many peer-reviewed studies you can look into. I have found within 30 days of supplementing, you will see a nearly complete reduction of shaking hands. The added bonuses include headache reduction and reduced muscle sorness.
If you find more metal components in leather; you can convert the rust (iron oxide) to iron tannate which won't rust with a comercially available rust converter. It will protect the leather from the corrosive rust.
Or just smoke some pot 😁
Vote thumbs up on the pot
It's crazy how these popular CZcams people. They have multiple cameras, have special lenses, and special lighting.
You have one camera! You do a better video. I love your videos!
I have learned so much, about shoes, bags everything!
So thank you very much, keep on bringing out the great videos!
i like the oldschool youtube vibe in these like it's not overly edited it's not clickbait it's not a show
Just when you think it's unrepairable, "super Steve" is here. Yet another great transformation. 👌👌👌💼💼💼 I think the owner is very happy with his present.
Better than when it was a new one 🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely, true craftsmanship 👍. And you also keep the sentimental value 😄. Great present. Smart as well.
@@marka.schlueter9918 Yes great content 👌👌👌 also good humor 😀.
He really puts on the SuperSteve suit and fixes stuff up like new, heck, better.
Wow. That original state is rough. Only you, the miracle worker could revive that bag ❤️
Great, you saved me -- something other than election 2020 to watch --- hammer time 👍
@Bulldozer oh quit it with your sheepish patanoia. Let's just enjoy a master and his craft.
Well he saved me from March 20th!!! Thank God for this awesome man. Truly!!!
Yes, Steve, we helped - but we didn't do it all by ourselves! Your professionalism, hard work, educating us about having a work ethic, tolerance for people who do things differently, and your sense of humor about the absurdities of this world, made us want to come back and watch. The bag turned out amazingly. Thank You for sharing!
"Complainer Guy" is the BEST! Always has something to kvetch about. LOVE hearing him!
The bag's back story was utterly fascinating.
"Hey man...." so good
That is pretty cool. It’s an old military issued pilot’s briefcase. Glad you brought new life into it.
Wow! You did it to me again Steve......a leather case now......sheesh!
First you fix leather jackets after I’d given mine away, now you fix a leather brief case.....after I ditched my old one.
You did a magical job with that case. Well done.
Congrats on your CZcams award, you deserve it,
Shine on
You have such a good heart. You give tirelessly to others and you show respect to the product through your craft. I really, really enjoyed this project video. And, congratulations on your CZcams accomplishment. Keep up the great work.
37:27 Want to say congratulation with button too!
He does not GIVE it cost money!
STEVE !
You are such a good teacher.
That --- TODAY ---
Moments ago, I finished hand stitching the holdfast/ footbed and welt... on a pair of cowboy boots... without a last.
It took 3 failed attempts before I got the alignment correct.(the upper stretched out of shape) ...
But ...I GOT IT RIGHT !
Owner tried them on and the size is correct.
It is awesome... to me .. to have completed this stage of the resole on these boots.
Thank you, for sharing your skills !
That is AWSOME
We are so lucky to be able to watch a Master Craftsmen at work!! Great work Steve!!!
Range marks and scars add character to the bag, adds to the story. You are a master at resurrecting what most others would trash.
my first reaction - take it outside and hose it down! LOL
If the NSN number is correct, It looks like it was made by "The Leather Specialty Co." now known as "Korchmar", been around since 1917 or so?
that is a valid NSN (National Stock Number) issued to the Dept of Defense in 1962. As stated above, the bag was made be the Leather Specialty Company. There is a little bit of info here: nationalstocknumber.info/national-stock-number/8460-00-753-5555
@@richjohs5727 And knowing Government procurement, I bet there is a big warehouse somewhere full of these things in mint never issued condition.
@@BMAWG1968 I bet you're right. We gotta find it!
Wow, that bag has come to life again. Looks awesome!
This video was very diverse. The filming from outside the window(nice touch). There was the blade sharpening with the trigger challenge, the coffee and cookie break, the CZcams plaque unveiling (congratulations) and finally a customer testimonial.
How are you going to keep that up?
As you say " Let's continue"
Click the video.
See 3 dislikes.
Knowing "ahhh he sharpened his blade again." 😂
Thanks man for this great video. ❤️
I think, in the UK, that’s what we call a Gladstone bag.
We use the same here in ‘Mericuh.
Gladstone frame but most Gladstones were "open well" type without gussets and partitions. This was to accommodate large equipment or clothing. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.
That was one of the most interesting projects including the story. Without the story, it’s just a bag. Well done.
I love that apron! Looks like the smock of a true artist Steve
You were very kind putting aside another project to enable this man to gift the bag back to his Dad. I hope your family appreciates you.
Congratulations 🎊 writh the CZcams button 🥇💪🛠
Uhhh that bag have gotten a lot of juse and love 😊
I'm sure that it werry much appreciated by the one that juse it.
Great job, it looks beautiful 👍👌
Be safe and take care.
Big hugs from stine, from Denmark 🇩🇰 🌹 🌺 🥰 💝 🌺
You are a leather wizard!!!!!
Screw the haters! We, the supporters outweigh them!!!! Your work is amazing
Stunning restoration and loved the customer review. You could tell how happy he was and the memories attached ❤❤❤
Ty, what a nice work!👍
I find much more gratification in fixing something old, sometimes even hopeless,than in buying it new,ty
Thank You for Your service to Our Country Chris .🇺🇸
Another Fantastic restoration Steve! I bet it looks just as good 3 years later !!and well in Your way to 200 k subs !!
Also class of 1984. Raised by an equipment mechanic from a coal mining family. From that and some years in the Society for Creative Anachronism, I've seen a lot of cool artisan projects, and even contributed some modest efforts from my own hand. That bag bag, however, is pretty impressive. I think I may be inspired to work on a few things that have been in the back of my my mind for a while.
I sharpen my disposable blades all the time. It saves me a lot of money when done over the years, and I can control how sharp I want it. The steel of those disposable blades are very decent too. Love this restoration project.
glad to know I'm a die hard Bedos fan confirmed by the man himself
Wow 😳 can’t believe, that bag could even be saved??? You really are a Bag genius!!! I’d never trust anyone but, you and your shops team, to repair one of my bags 💼 Keep up the great work!!! And, what better a worthy cause, like one our proud Military men!!! Thanks for the reveal 👍🏻
I love watching yr video. You can do amazing things to the bag . All the old bags you can turn into new ones . Great transformation. No many people have yr talents .
This is the 3rd or 4th time I'm playing this, as it's been in the background will I work...but I'm just now realizing that he did this in one freaking day!!! When I first watched this, & he was talking about Saturday being the Dad's birthday, I assumed it was like the next Saturday, so he only had a week to get this done....but no, he had one day to work on this & complete it...that is impressive, & I don't impress easily (maybe I do, I don't know). I'm really much more impressed that Bedo agreed to drop everything & bang this out by it's crazy deadline, than I am that he completed in one day...that's some selflessness to make some folks happy, really going above & beyond the call of duty on this one - bravo!! Scott Sherman
You my friend are a wind up merchant who has a big heart of gold and cares your dad would be very proud of you you are simply the best please take care and stay safe
What a brilliant video. Congratulations on your 100k subscribers. The bag was a perfect example of why your work is important to people. I am sure I am not the only person who appreciates your work and help in getting through these strange times as well. You will never know.
One of my favorites. A special birthday present project, winning the CZcams award, drinking coffee with a friend, and a reaction video...all in one.
He wasn't sharpening that pencil. He was honing the knife blade on the graphite! Steve is fussy about his disposable blades! :) Flight bags are funny. We all start out buying a career bag and look after it for the first 10 years. Then you start putting stickers on it for 10 years to gloat about what Boeing you fly, then they get parked in the basement for your kids to eventually throw out. Now, there are people who don't even carry one. They pull an ipad and their headset out of their suitcase. Technology has been good.
Congratulations for the You Tube Award. You gave another life to that piece of history, which seemed like mission impossible. Happy Birthday to your customer, we appreciate his service and your talents.
Nice that this gentleman's son cared enough to do something so special and personal for him on his birthday.
Steve, you're a good man helping the guy for his dad’s birthday. Well done!
Friendships like that are one of the most precious things in life....it's great to see! I'm glad you added this into the video.
Congrats on the 100k milestone! I appreciate your work ethic and long days as a viewer. It's nice to see you getting rewarded for your experience, talent and time it takes you to post these videos!
I totally enjoy getting up and in the office that early. You can crank the music, dance and sing and get some work DONE without distractions.
loved the coffee break/little bit bout yourself time, thnx for putting that in
I like that you sharpen disposable blades. We use everything for 10 minutes then send it to the landfill. Reusing and extending the life of stuff is a good thing, even for a 10 cent blade.
I was a Loadmaster on C-130’s with a Combat/Tactical Airlift Squadron.That is what we refer to as a “AVIATOR “ Bag. It is used to put your manuals, check list and other documents you may need. Passport... etc. Also if a short hop/flight, we would put our overnight things and pair of socks, underwear...etc.
people are used to a time of plenty they take things for granted, they think they know hardship Yet theyve never lived through a great depression like after WW1 yet they will no doubt. people would re sharpen blades of all kinds and those habbits are passed down through the generations. that was a huge job
Man, where has youtube been hiding you? New sub here can't wait to catch up and see what's new!
He’s a miracle worker, everything he does is amazing, welcome to the hammer club
Great work and a great bag. I can see why he and/or his son wanted it restored. Will be handed down through generations. Congrats on the 100K subscriber award. Well Done
My husband flew C 141 and has the identical bag in even worse shape. I don’t have the courage to throw it away. It’s all I left from his flying career. I think it’s beautiful that you have done this.
As an amateur hobbyist, I learn so much from watching him do these repairs. I strop my utility knife blades before use and they make it weeks longer. Also, I am a Military Intelligence Veteran from Late 80's to early 90's. I am watching this on 11/11/2020. My Uncle was a navigator in the USAF, Dad was Navy, other uncle Navy and one other uncle was a pilot. Lots of history. Awesome job on this bag.
Well look at you with the outside view looking in camera angle. Trying something new... I loved it lol. Let’s Continue 👍🏽
Congratulations!!! HI, STEVE! You earned that plaque, but you deserve the gold medal! That bag was in a really dirty state, but it's beautiful now! You are the master restorer!
I enjoy seeing the owner’s reaction, and talking about the history of the item. Thank you 😊
Man…at this moment In the world when people are pitting themselves against one another, it is so inspiring to see someone do something kind for another human being. Really. Thanks, Steve…besides being an awesome cobbler, you are an awesome human. Love this channel!! and Congrats on your CZcams award!
So awesome... to see the owner and hear his stories. Another magnificent Bedo’s restoration. Thanks for sharing and kudos for all that hand sewing of the frame!
Yeah, man! I've got my grandfather's 16mm B&H projector with all the stickers from the Grace Line all over the case's exterior. Makes it totally cool. Grace Line was a cruise line that among other destinations, ran from Miami to Cuba and South America, where they lived.
Congrats on your plaque and another great project. You are not crazy to resharpen your blades. I took French leather working courses and the cutting knife used in the courses was a clicker knife. Part of the initial instruction was how to sharpen your clicker knife blade with a file to be razor sharp. It's not just about being cheap or traditional, as I have a few razor knives in my tool box, but about economics and having tools on hand when you need them. Buying blades adds up, and if you run-out of sharp blades while in a project, maybe late at night or running up to a deadline, there is no time to pop out to get some more. Knowing how to touch up a blade is a good skill to practice and know. Same goes for having hand sewing skills, for when the machines can't do it. Thanks for sharing.
I carried that same style "Book Bag" for most of my 22 years as a USAF C-130 Aircrew member, (Loadmaster). Tough old bag. Still have mine and I retired from the USAF and hung up my flight suit 20 years ago !!!
You've got great craftmanship and patience! A Dying breed! And you bring joy!
Watching you bring these pieces back to life is simply therapeutic. Thank you!
Hey Steve, just found your channel today. Saw the thumbnail of this black bag. I have the same bag in brown. Was an Army Aviator during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Two tours in Viet Nam and two in Europe. My bag went with me everywhere. Still in decent shape, scuffed and worn and a little misshapen. But still usable. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks!
Excellent restoration job. I think I fell asleep and had to go to bed, so I missed the job, but I forced myself to stay up until you completed it. I wouldn't have expected anything less from you.
I think if that bag ended up at any other shop it would have found it’s way to the trash. Steve fixed it. Unreal!
Steve!!! Congratulations! YOU are the reason you have 100k viewers. Your warm heart, hard work, and wonderful sense of humor has given you your faithful fans.
This video popped up as a recommendation and I really enjoyed it. I worked at a belt shop for 11years making leather belts, wallets, purses, holsters, knife sheaths ect... Then 5 years working at a place doing luggage repair and modification. And for the last 7 years working at an upholstery shop. I found the triggering scene really funny and can do you one better, I use a snap blade knife and resharpen it regularly; with sandpaper. I did however trigger when you used your steel french hammer on your steel punches. But I got over it, your hammer, your punches. Your shop. I will keep watching.
There´s always a fair reward for those who share knowledge, art, craftmanship and good bives too; but most important when doing it in an uninterested way or without banal purpose. Cheers !, well done.Thanks a lot.
I love ❤️ this man!!
Bedos is beautiful 🙏
Love from Canada 🇨🇦 and around world 🌎 sir 😎👍
You know, we love ❤️ you 🙂
“ hammer 🔨 time “
“ let’s continue “
Pulling those stitches up is like ASMR for me
That's a beautiful bag. I would be proud to carry that. And a great son to take care of it for his dad.
Its a Gladstone bag! At long last I get to see the master at work. Seeing your process working itself out. Wonderful work. Well deserved CZcams plaque . I've been wanting to see how the frame goes on....just as I suspected, hand sewn. I so want to make one of those. Lol. After my briefcase saga..... being a dressmaker, I don't do oblong and square shapes, I do curves . Drama queen #1 !!
I love watching you work, so an artist, my late step dad father was a cobbler, your skills are incredible
Too cool Steve!! Congratulations on the 100K plaque! “Let’s continue!” 👍🏻
I just love how you troll "the trolls". 😆
Leave his apron alone & his blades too! 😁
We need a coffee hour vlog. Just a couple of guys sitting around shooting the breeze, drinking coffee. I'm facinated by your coffee routine. Perhaps I need one small cup of high octane coffee instead of 6, 20 oz. mugs per day.
Congratulations Steve. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
I did a double loop lace job on a briefcase a littler smaller than that. Took a LONG time lol. One of my wife's family members originally made it a couple decades ago so it was a fun and meaningful job!
True craftsmanship is something that is very rare in today's time. But when you come across it, and the craftsman himself, it's almost like receiving a sermon in life. The important things in what we do and the spirit of how we do it. Loved the video! Thank you!
Of all the hours that I've spent watching your amazing videos, this is by far my favorite show! Absolutely a gorgeous piece of work! And Chris's response was great. Thanks so much for bringing us along, and a big CONGRATS on the 100K CZcams award! One of these days it would be so cool to see you re-dye and Big 4 your shop apron! 😀 Thanks again, Steve, for all the enjoyment you give us...
Congratulations Steve. Working all day to get the bag done for the customer’s birthday showed your big heart. You’re a good man and an outstanding cobbler. God bless you and your family.
That smile whit the playbutton priceless ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇project was nice Steve ,thx for the time and vlog.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻see you next time.
I’m late watching....wake up! Good gosh not even the crack of dawn! Your very kind to do this....love the apron. Wow, great jog done.
Hello Steve happy to see you 😊 hugs from France 🇫🇷
Hi Steve,I used to watch your videos time to time.You know,there is a proverb"People can look at three things without being bored,fire,water and how someone else is working".
This is how I explained myself the reason why I like to watch your videos....until I saw flag out of your window.So that was another reason to watch, which never crossed my mind before.
You do great job Steve,best of luck to you.
And congratulations on 100000 subscription.
Hav to b honest little tough thinking 80s 90s being old . I'm thinking 50s 60s old..hard to wrap head around that.. ANETTE FUNICELLO ...What a babe.
YOU DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT, YOU DO THE WORK AND ENTERTAIN US ALONG THE WAY,
Really appreciated hearing that navigator's story. I know full well how things have transitioned from the leather flight bag to the iPad. I spent 35 years in nautical charting with the feds. In that time we went from pen & ink map making to high tech digital charts with instantaneous updates. It was a fun period in history, one that I doubt my kids will ever experience in the same way.
You are a fantastic craftsman and a good human being. Thanks for sharing those values!
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching the gifted hands of a master craftsman at work! Love this so much! Gratitude for making these videos available to us!
Hey; Steve...just saw this upload and always look forward to ur videos. Sorry but it’s bed time for this ole man...take care and I will c u in the AM...
He would have sat there telling stories all day!
Congrats on the play button, and great job on an interesting piece.
You did your fantastic job again, and I enjoy your humor too 😂 😊
Congratulations on you tube award! So proud of you! That bag had a miracle performed on it! So happy for you...much deserved.
What a heart warming story behind the bag. The bag looks sensational!
Wow graduated in 1984 ... I was born in Dec 84 !!!! Lol
🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations Steve🎉🎉🎉your recognition from CZcams is much deserved.....and I just love a bag video😀👍
Great job. It's therapeutic watching old things come back to life.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, GREAT Job, I have the exact leather replacement in my inventory, 4 the bag, when I straighten out leather I use a mix of water and liquid dish soap, on zippers I use Olive oil 2 clean and bees wax 2 lube, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Dude, I'm only 27minutes in on the aviator bag and really digging your channel...Kudos to you... I was just commissioned to build a replica of a B-650 Type VIII aviator and your video has helped tremendously !! Thank you!! Stay you...and safe!!!
