- This bag was revived to give it life again after many years of neglect. It was found in a Thrift store in Portland, Oregon. It was totally flattened and dried out so that it would not flex anymore without tearing. It was more like cardboard than leather. It will be a gift to its new owner to celebrate a new journey in the appropriate field.
Very nice work. The bag looks great.
it was a pleasure watching this good job sir
Nice job, I was constantly afraid it could fall apart, but it came up really nicely!
I use ricine oil in cases like, it's much thicker and protects leather beautifully. By no means a pro, just came to my mind when watching.
What a more than great job you, ve done on that Dr, s bag. Guess what, im the Dr that owns the medicial bag... Ha Ha ha. 😊👍🙌
Your talent, skill and craftsmanship is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing!
You work is amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very nicely done! An un-threaded old Singer with a needle meant for leather,set on wide stitch, will give you nice, straight holes for hand sewing.
ànd also punch extra holes to weaken the leather..

Beautiful leather. But so sad from the not straight stitch work. Next time please use a draw straight line then do your holes and stitch.
Futher cool project! Good job
Looks like he just followed the previous holes. You don’t want to add new holes in the same area. It will weaken the leather.
@@brittroge09 *Agreed. I learned this from other leather TH-camrs. The more holes, the more tearing and wearing down of the leather.*
What kind of oil did you use?
Awesome work - really impressive.
This is your only restoration video! Please do more asap!
Amazing, well done
Walrus leather...appears to me, to be much like the texture of elephant leather. I know elephant to be fairly sturdy. I wonder if walrus leather is of the same quality. Nice restoration. You get a "like", and a new subscriber.
Labor intensive but wonderfully done!
Lovely to watch. Top work!
МАСТЕР-ЗОЛОТЫЕ РУКИ)))))👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
Very much enjoyed watching your restoration of the bag. I hope you do more. I am curious how long it took you to do it?
Fantastic!
I have my father's 1950's black leather Dr's bag, What product do you suggest I use to restore the outside. The interior is slightly mildewed. Thank you.
love the music - what is it please - please give credit to it - thanks (love the video and the result)
Amazing job, Well done bravo, I just received a gift, a briefcase, same material and for what I see it could be from the same brand, I will like to know if you can restore this piece of luggage for me?
Wondering who uses it now.... i got collection also from thrift shop here in dubai
Wow, amazing job....
Thank you! Cheers!
How much would a job like this cost?
Vielen Dank allen Mitarbeitern an Kompetenz Arbeitsplätzen Zufrieden haben bitteschön
Anice job but what a pity that the initials on the bag was not there at the end.
I agree and the stitching not so straight!!
どても上手です、素晴らしい🎉❤
Looks exactly like elephant skin.
👏🏽 Parabéns
So interesting, however, your music kept putting me to sleep.
Olive oil will go stale n smell bad. Dont use food oil on bags.
What oil did you use?
It was originally hard as cardboard. I used olive oil spring it back to life. I would recommend leaving it sit for a few days afterwards to allow the oil to penetrate and equalize. It is easy to over saturate so work slowly. You may need to wash out the excess oil afterwards it depends on how dry the leather is. If it still has some flex I would start with Mink oil or Neatsfoot Oil.

When you put the metal parts in the distilled vinegar, u should have added a little bit of baking soda to it too. Then the parts would have gotten a bit cleaner.
soda neutralists acid how would that help to weaken the acid,100% not what you want to happen .
The vinegar actually eats the rust very well but the parts had an old metal treatment called japanning on them. It is extremely resistant to abrasion and resists moisture. It was hard to tell originally but becuse it was gummed up but after I had no change over night I realized something else was on the metal. I tried everything to get it off so I had to eventually use physical methods.
If u want something a little better then vinegar and u can use it over and over again for a while is Evaporust. That stuff is amazing and eats rust off like nothing a lot industrial guys use it and fabricators. Also a few big restoration guys on TH-cam who do like tools and old equipment. @@jmm242
Steve, from Bedos leather could’ve really done this bag justice and restored it properly.
