    The way you speak of your teacher, you can really tell you loved him. I'm sure he's proud. I hope you mentor someone and pass on the trade the way he did

    Better videos? I already thought you had some kind of professional production squad doing the recording, editing and producing of your videos. Kudos, they are awesome! I can't wait for the day I get to send you my boots to get redone.

    I usually buy, wolverine durashock 10" pull up style boot.
    My question is, can they be resoled? I usually throw them away... I pay around 195.00 a pair. I toss them because the heels wear to one side and they get loose and sloppy..... Toss them or send them to you.... What would you charge for something like that?
    Love you TH-cam, I swear you have the patience of an older man. Kids now a days need your passion.... Your blessed with what your mentor has done for you.

    Great job! Been hoping for a Q&A. Always a pleasure seeing your work, and this makes your channel even better.
    And great kudos to your girlfriend for her talented work as well. She is an excellent filmmaker! Does she have a channel as well?
    If not, she should be shooting more docu-style videos and posting them, perhaps if other artists and crafts folks, for they would surely be great.
    Again, much mahalos for all your work. Will be looking forward to cleaning and care tips and your next resole. See ya!

    Brian, there are 2 Vietnamese flags. The one you show is the flag Vietnam used during the uprising of French colonialization and current communist state. There is also a flag that most Vietnamese immigrants recognize. It is a yellow background with 3 red stripes. There are many of us who still regard this is a "touchy" subject. Your father would know more about the subject especially if he immigrated because of the war. Anyways, great idea to have a Q&A video!

    Hi, I have one question. I recently ordered a pair of boots from a decent boot company. i dont really like the fit that much and since it was kind of a custom order it seems like the skimped on the quality of leather and stitching etc...they look ok and are passable. Although if you saw the original boots you could see a huge difference.The original I could tell use a much higher grade leather. Any how I thought the style was uniqe and worth keeping. Can you take a pair of boots pull them apart and rebuild the same pair with exact specified leather and make minor adjustments to make sure they fit better? These boots also have a heavy duty rubber vibram sole.

    great channel
    and talent set
    too many videos include boot product cleaning and waterproofing recommendations that impact the breathability of leather boots
    I prefer to sacrifice a boot lasting 1,000,000 years for comfort.
    No one can convince me waterproofing. multiple chemical products, beeswax etc that suggests they are waterproofing and remaining breathable is accurate and does not negatively mpact breathability
    many start off with applying so many products that they have no way to determine what the original boot would, or could have offered in terms of comfort
    yes quality boots are costly but find a balance in terms of over "protecting" and just wear them

I know that is a deal breaker for most people... but does the leather age nice? do you think its worth it to take care of them or just get nicer ones when the time comes?
