I grew up in my grandfather's upholstery shop. We only did antique furniture. 47 years later I do custom aircraft interiors and concert tour bus interiors. I really appreciate your craftsmanship. Merry Christmas
That’s dope!
Loved seeing the pics of the family Steve!
Thanks for sharing the family pictures.
And awesome work once again.
The Greek history pics made me tear up a bit. Great heritage ❤
Armenian not Greek but very similar
Hi Steve, I have watched every episode you have uploaded since 2020. I am in such awe of your skills, patience and dedication to your art. You are head and shoulders above the crowd in my opinion, and in today's disposable, instant gratification world, you sir, are a true artist. I particularly like your touches where you share coffee time with friends and are very proud of your heritage and your family. Keep them coming dude. Much love from a very ardent fan in Johannesburg South Africa.
Thank you friend
I appreciate you
You are the expert. Your opinion is valuable to us laymen.
Great work! 614$ is a steal for this job!
Dad looks like a movie star man. I think you should make your own lasts n shoes. Shame everyone smoked and didn't really think about the health repercussions back then. I think your shoes would do very very well.
Let's continue 👍
Those pictures of your dad are so cool loving seeing photos like this
Stronger look, but still dressy. Great job.
Great video with family at end! What an awesome history and beautiful family!
Nice shoes. Hopefully the customer puts on different shoelaces. Love the pictures.
I love walking into businesses that have pictures to tell a story or time line. I'll take the time to look through them all
Thanks for the tour of your family photos… you have a beautiful family. I work in Basel, Switzerland and one of my co-workers is from Armenia. But now he lives with his family in France and commutes to work in Switzerland each week.
Better than new, dang, your dad was very handsome!😊
Have a Super Christmas, Steve! Let's Continue!

Merry Christmas, Steve. When I hear, “Here goes nothing”, I know another well crafted project is on the way.
Excellent as always! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
Loved the photos Steve! Great history!
Kind of a neat project to match a picture of a shoe.....well done......
Hi Steve, Merry Christmas!
Baby Jesus visit your home bless you so much. Gratitude, I'm from Brazil.
Wow 🤩 I’ve got to say I would never trust any other artisan for quality work. -
The man is humble, speaks to you on a real level and is not only a professional, but a perfectionist!
-I called him for something small and gave me advice on a real level without being arrogant or trying to charge me, but assisted me with his heart.
-Thank you for the history of your immediate family shared as well, have met numerous Armenians here in the Houston greater area and one in Dubai and all except 1 ( Nizar’s Fine Jewelry) have been nothing, but warm and genuine people, unlike like blood-thirsty Turks.
-Thank You Mr. Bedo-
Loved the pictures of your family, thanks for sharing!
Shoes looked great, too! :)
Awesome hearing about the photos. Great job
Классная обувь и семья! 🤝🤗
Great video as always. Beautiful family.
I love your films ,Steve, thank you. I bought a pair of shoes at the start of my 6th form (age 16) and by looking after them, was able to wear them at my wedding (aged 38!) My father (ex army) taught me how to deal with shoes and I have tried to pass that on to my sons(only time will tell!). Love what you do and teach. Thanks.
Thankyou for sharing that at the end brother, as a fellow cobbler and son of immigrants our stories are an example of how far hard work and grit can get us.
Glad to know im not alone out there.
I enjoy hearing about your family
The shoes look great
Mr Bedo,
I live in Calcutta, India. As you mentioned you are Armenian, my city Calcutta at one point had a lot of Armenians, in fact we have Armenian Church of Nazareth. Armenian College and Philantrophic Society.The Armenians in Calcutta were mainly into real estate business during the British Rule and they have given my city beautiful buoldings, some of the famous were Stephen Arathoon, Carapiet Galstaun and Famous Armenian Merchant SUKEAS.
That’s very cool thanks for sharing
Your welcome.
"I think they turned out pretty good" he says after a beautiful job lol
Thank you Steve. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
🎉🎊🎆🎩👑🍾🙏 Have a Happy New Year with your beautiful family!!! We Love You, Steve!!!
Another text book of how it should be done. Excellent project there Steve. May I pass my own wishes to you and yours. Merry Christmas Steve. Shine on
Yes Steve! It’s called the gemming we know! Have a great Christmas my friend and all the best!
Your Dad was very handsome!
Your dad was a handsome man. I enjoyed the pictures. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Beautiful family and great work
Steve is the highest quality cobbler out there. The most expensive as well...but...the very best. You get what you pay for...is just the reality in life. Saw a video the other day on Wyatt and Dad...where Allen Edmonds had changed out the welt so many times, without using the same holes...the leather upper busted out at the seams. The shoe would have been better off...just not being re-welted. Something I didn't know. I mean...I always knew AE wouldn't re-sole more than 3 times, but I never knew why. Now I know why. An independent cobbler, when re-welting a shoe...will re-welt by hand using the same holes, therefore not causing damage to the upper. AE uses a machine to re-welt, and the machine likely will not hit the same holes...making the upper Swiss cheese, and ultimately...causing the upper to split...beyond repair. I considered next time I send my AE's off to AE for a re-sole...to ask them NOT to re-welt. It turns your shoe into Swiss cheese. Edit: And to be clear...Wyatt and Dad was not disparaging AE. He was simply explaining WHY the shoe had blown out. Wyatt and Dad...is another cobbler I respect. Good work from both Wyatt and Dad, and Bedo's.
It was nice to see your family
These videos are so relaxing make me fall asleep 😴 💤 shoes looks amazing!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family Steve! I want to wish you a fantastically successful, joyful and peaceful 2023.
Thank you for all the laughs, love, passion, skill and entertainment you share with all of us! It brings me a great deal of joy, and I am very grateful!

P.S. You Dad was a pretty stunning looking guy! You are too, and just tell your wife if she reads these comments, that this compliment comes from an almost 64 year old woman!

Another great repair video. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to you and your family.
Very Nice!
I believe your prices are quite reasonable considering the detail and quality of your work.
The customer wanted Guarded Goods laces, easily the best laces for Alden Shoes.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Have a restful holiday and enjoy the warmth and love of family.
Great family history. Merry Christmas 🎄.
If you change this shoe from an oxford to a derby shoe you are the GOAT of shoe repair. 😁 Merry Christmas my friend 🙏
🤣🤣🤣
very good job
Great work again Steve all the best for Christmas and new year please continue 👍.
Enjoyed the personal tour👍
hi steve, marry christmas. i'm now in AZ so i don't think i'll be dropping into visit again. i was watch rose anvil and nicks boots are making some custom boots in colabration with rose anvil and your name was mentioned about your excellent shoe repair. your name and the brothers in tennessee were also mentioned. all three were mention in the same sentence. love your work steve. i haven't been working on my combat boot that u resoled. they are definitely black but just not to the spit shine that i want. when i get them finished i plan to send you a pic of them. best of luck steve.
Thanks so much for sharing the family photos Steve. I love that you that. Pop was a handsome man. But Great Granpa with his Fez and wicked stash is just so bad ass. And of course the wonderful work you do. I really enjoy your vids. Merry Christmas to you and yours
