ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2020
- This pair of Red Wing Classic Mocs was mailed to us for repair. These boots were in very rough shape and definitely needed some love. After a complete resole and some thorough conditioning, this pair of Red Wing boots is good to go. Time for another restoration!

Sorry for they delay in recommended videos at the end! We were having some technical issues. As always, thank you all very much for watching!!
I imagine you guys get some pretty funky smelling boot/shoes brought in to the shop.
Markoman Haha...every now and then. 😁
Have you ever done a resole on a pair of Danner Mountain Light II in brown? I looked at the order page but couldn’t see the sole that Danner specifies.
Guys please take look at this leather restauration,🙏

@@TrentonHeath red wing sent my boots back to me and said sorry we can't fix these. I have 2 pairs of 1412s that need fixing
I know I'm getting old when I find videos like this therapeutic.
me toooooooooo
Ditto!
Same
Whelp, guess I'm getting old too.
Yup
My father had a shoe repair business in our garage back in the late 60's early 70's. My job was the initial cleaning and then the final buff. condition and shine. I still have a couple of the shoe horns i used to use. we had a huge belt driven 7 station buffing and grinding machine, the stitcher and presses. I loved going to the supply store every other saturday morning to restock the shop. loved the smell of leather and soles in that place. This brings back so many memories, wish i could teleport back to those days just to spend more time with my father.
Do it with your son then.
This is the stuff that parents should be doing with their kids. Wholesome, productive, learning. You'll always have these times friend.
@@belliduradespicio8009 I dont know but they need to go on because im downwind and got a big wave of onion drift by and it's got my eyes watering 😃
God bless you bro.
Son of a son of a sailor..I recall spending much time with local tailors in the botony Mills area of town, I miss quality.
As a former shoemaker who used to work by hand with only a tredle sewing machine for stitching uppers (all welts and soles hand sewn) and the proud owner of 4 pairs of Redwings now over 30 years old (the boots, not me!) I truly enjoyed this level of care and skill.
1.4 M views : i'm not alone !
Clarification: boots over 30, me over 60 😉
Do you know what kind of glue that was that he used to attach the soles?
@@fransantelli I couldn’t tell you the brand they use, but if you wanted to try to resole your own boots just order Barge Cement they all work great. Also to help removing the soles buy some acetone it helps to loosen the glue up and to make it not as messy buy one of those clear bottles like he used with the long nozzle. Hope that helps 👍🏼
@@davidmatthews3131 you sir have boots the same age as me.. wow.. the respect for people older than me just grows and grows.
I remember my dad wearing redwing boots just like these to work everyday. He would get them resoled mid way through their life. I remember picking them up at our neighborhood shoemaker, an old world italian guy named Joe. Whenever I picked up the boots they would look like new. My dad was an ornamental ironworker in NYC (local 580). I remember my dad treating his boots every week or so with leather oil. It kept them looking great. My dad would polish his casual loafers, his Sunday wingtips and his workboots routinely and shoe care was something I remember him doing, that people today rarely do.
I'm a retired cardiopulmonologist, it's relaxing to care for my various footwear. When working, I wore athletic shoes exclusively, now I don't even own a pair.
Seeing those boots reminds me of my Granddad. He went to get a new pair of Redwing boots and had sticker shock when the sales lady told him they cost $200+. My mom said he looked at the lady and pointed at his old ones and stated "Those only cost me $35!!" "When did you buy them sir?" "1935!" The sales lady made a phone call and offered him $100 for his old boots so they could put them on display, with the racoon skin laces that were in them. He accepted and wore the new boots till the day he died.
Loved your story..☺
Your Grandpa's shoes will cost $1000(at least) in the Asia fancy fashion store,especially in Japan.
BTW back in 1935, 35 dollar is quite a lot.(1$ for 20 can soda or 15 soup can)
A most precious, irreplaceable story ❤ Thank you & God bless you for sharing that!!
That's a brilliant story, its a shame your grandad didn't know of this guy, he could have repaired his old pair for him.
90s and early 2000s: Saturday morning cartoons
Now: Watching these magnificent gentlemen do some magic.
Jay - so true! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much for watching!

SAME HERE
Lol! As I read your comment, it's Saturday morning!
My dad used to do Shoe repair, his shop was called Robertos Shoe Repair in Redwood City Ca. I grew up seeing him fix these up all the time, brings back memories watching this video. Also remember going to Saderma in South San Francisco before they only kept the one in LA open.
I learned cobbling from 2 Navajo brothers. They were amazing to learn from. This is a skill set craft that should be handed down to those who want to learn it before it becomes lost in the fold.
I can almost hear the boots say thank you.
😂
Boots said "God bless you"
😂🤣😅
They did
If im not mistaken these boots belong to a man who was killed on death row in north dakota.
Friend, in my 67 years on this Earth I have never seen that done..thank you for showing me the work you done..
It's a shame the world has gone disposable , nice to see old school craftsmanship like this ! Wonderful job sir , hat's off to you...
Ironworker 720
I’m 137 years old and I have not see a craftmanship like this ever in my life. Greetings
I love the way that Trenton says "there's not a whole lot that we're going to be able to do for the uppers", but then proceeds to refurbish the uppers superbly, restoring colour and condition!
Gotta say, your videos are now a little highlight of my weekend.
Now, if I could only find the sign up sheet for the Potter and Sons Internship Programme.....!
Well done Trenton!
I was wondering the same thing. The ‘local’ shoe repair shop just closed. The gentleman and his wife retired. He did shoe repair and his wife did clothing alterations. I was wondering if I could go to Nashville for a couple of months to learn the ropes. The shop is just sitting there with all the machines sitting still.
This is exactly what I was gonna say. The uppers look phenomenal.
Thank you so much!
@@susanrussell8195 i say dooooo iit
Lol! Exactly. If I ever get a bad diagnosis medically I know where I'm heading. "Screw it, bro. Ain't got much to lose. See what you can do."
I really salute you sir. In this age of disposable everything you keep these amazing skills alive. I believe that if we all bought less, bought better and repair goods as much as we replace them, then the environment would be much better off.
Need to turn back time to pre 1972, when that rat - bastard Nixon got the United States back in bed with China and slave labor.
So true. Such a wise and relatable comment. Well said.
Well said!
HE'S TOO EXPENSIVE! CHEAPER TO BUY A,NEW PAIR.
Yeah I wish companies would understand a lot of americans are willing to pay the extra for high quality american made stuff.
I loved watching you restore these boots. It's wonderful that the owner didnt just throw them away. Thank you.
I remember helping my dad polish his shoes when he was in the military. I haven't thought of it in decades. Thank you.
Something soothing about watching a repair done with this level of craftsmanship.
Thank you so much!
Seems like some machines still need human hands🤷🏻♂️😂😂
It hits me as a sort of "Visual" ASMR. I think you hit it on the head with 'this level of craftsmanship'... pretty much anything done to the best level will grab my attention.
IKR!!!
I was just gonna say that its relaxing but such a dying art
OMG, I have not seen cobbling craftsmanship like this in 40 years! Thank you so much for keeping your art alive!
Yes, you are to be commended. Great job sr.
Pure craftsmanship. As one who grew up in a very busy shoe repair shop, time was of the essence and did not allow for this kind of renovation (unfortunately). We had the standard Landis stitcher which constantly broke down as well as the Auto -Soler 8 and 12 models. The cement we used was the "Barge" brand. I never saw the "lace machine" and we relied instead on the "rawhide" laces. It was tough work and by the end of a 10-12 hour day, we wete - worn out. Great video!
This is so amazing to watch. Nice to see craftsmanship still alive and well in a a lost art. Hard to find talented tradesmen and the talented craftsmen that take care of our feet. HUGE Respect to you guys
Thank you guys so much for the repair, boots came out amazing. In my defense the boots have be resoled 4-5 times prior and I only let them get this bad when they were sent back from Red Wing as "unrepairable". Thanks again for saving my favorites!
Haha...no worries! We’ve seen WAY worse! These were a piece of cake to redo. 👍 Glad we were able to help.
Did it cost more to restore them, rather than buying a new pair?
Burt Reynolds that’s my question.
I wanna know what job you have that destroys boots like this 😂
@@lucaspape9428 I tie rebar and average 2 pairs per year.. sometimes more. It REALLY depends on the job and boot you buy, red wings might buy you an extra 6 months
TH-cam recommendations: "psst, hey, wanna see a guy fix some boots?"
Me: "...kay"
Same
so strangely addictive!
"Now that you mention it..."
I think it is because of www.reddit.com/r/ArtisanVideos stuff that I click into... like this
I remember as a young girl watching my mother working on her leather projects. She was very talented at tooling the leather. She made wallets, belts, purses and other small accessories. I have a large clutch purse that she tooled and braided the seams. She also lined it with suede. I'm thinking that it is around 70 years old. Watching the different methods you use brought back many memories of her furnishing the leather, scribing edges, etc. Thank you.
My dad was a true connoisseur of fine leather shoes. He worked as a shoe salesman until he retired, or more like, when the company went out of business. I remember growing up and him wearing the those Florsheim, E.T. Wright, wing tips, which seemed to last forever. I can still recall his footsteps coming down the street...the thick soled shoes making a very distinct sound. I've always liked good shoes, guess I owe this to my dad. And yes, I do have a shoe fetish. Anyways, I'm going to look up your company and see about sending a pair of my Readings to get resoled. Great video.
Nothing like seeing a master at work. I can’t believe how good they look.
Omgosh this brings back memories of my dad who repaired shoes in our little town. Funny I see some of the machines he used to use. Thanks great work!
It reminded me of my dad cleaning & polishing all of our leather shoes every week. He’d bring his shoe cleaning tote down to the family room every Saturday night & make sure all of our shoes were shined up for church on Sunday. He’s a good father.
So glad to see that one can actually have shoes repaired. Nowadays, we are often told: "I can do the repairs, but it will cost almost as much as buying a new pair."
I take care of my shoes and by the time they need repairs or replacing, I don't necessarily find a replacement that suits me. Every Spring, I take my winter boots to the shoe repair shop for a good inspection cleaning and conditioning. I clean and protect them through the winter, but the shop makes them look new.
This is fascinating. I was getting tired of “Will It Start” automotive videos and I’m very happy I stumbled upon your posts. . This is truly an art during this time of throw away items.
This is link to the craftsmen of the past.
Don't let this die out, it's absolutely superb workmanship.
Well done.
Those soles now have soul.
Thank you so much!
It’s really relaxing after watching a load of rubbish on TH-cam to just sit back and watch an old fashioned craftsman make magic happen, it’s a real skill and beautiful to see, thank you👍
Thank you for watching!
Lately I have been watching shoe repair videos, rug cleaning and car detailing videos. It's therapeutic and a guaranteed happy ending. I blame the 2020 for being so messed up.
And who doesn't like to see something made better, clean and shiny after being messed up.
WOW! AMAZING! What a master hand!! We know these would feel so darn, comfortable. Thank you for the opportunity to see the craftsmanship and the end results. Thank you!
Oh I truly miss seeing our Boot, Shoe and Saddle Repair shops in our little towns. I didn't think anyone did this anymore. Fond memories of the smell of these shops when I was a kid picking up something for a family member. A Boot Repair Shop use to be in every town when I was a kid, never see them anymore. Thought it was a dead art, so glad the skill is continuing. Enjoyed watching you work.
This just proves that you don't have to throw old things away, especially quaality shoes. I love that these ended up having a new and worn feel at the same time. I'd definitely be rocking these boots. I've been thinking about getting some boots like these. Thanks for a great video. Fascinating to watch.
Well if they’re made in USA of course not
This video brought a lot of memories back for me. Redwing Moc boots were what my Grandfather wore almost ever day on the farm and he wore them down to about how those looked there at first. Thanks for the memories!
That’s awesome!
I enjoy watching someone who loves what he does and is good at it. I had my rompers resoled a while back. I guy here in town with a shop like yours. I have a whole new appreciation for him.
So we happy to see the art of shoe repair is not completely lost. You guys do fantastic work. I don’t have any shoe repair near me anymore. A dying art I hope through you comes back again.
Cup of coffee on a wet afternoon, beagle sleeping by my side, boot repair video to watch. That ladies and gents, is how you beat a coronavirus. Thanks for posting.
Hahaha! Thank you so much!
Yeah, you had me with Beag.
You're gay
Watching creftman’s here ...most interesting...
then vote for Trump tomorrow
Me with no cobbling knowledge: ah yes, when you cook oatmeal into the shoe
😂
Funniest thing I've read all day.
Yep, seems some porridge makes your day go well !
Was that cork?
And here I was thinking it was quinoa.
I am not a professional cobbler. But I have a few pairs of thorogood boots. I am a mechanic and see grease and oil daily. I experimented on 1 pair on cleaning. I sprayed some cherry tree decreased, local vendor, and took a pressure washer to them...it removed mostly everything. Let dry for a few days, wet the boot and used saddle soap, let dry and repeat. Then I let them fully dry for like a week. Then I used mink oil and they stay looking like new. I do this every 6 months.
A really appreciate that you guys try to help costumers, the environment, educate us, and are very hones with your work.
I remember as a kid walking into the shoe repair shop down the street from where we lived, as i walked in the smell of the leather would hit me in the face, i loved that smell. It's sad there aren't more of these shoe repair guys around.
I used to loooooove that smell
I might be wrong, but from what I understand, a new sole can't be sewn to the midsole or upper unless it's a certain type of stitching. One of which is called a Goodyear welt.
Because of the expense involved, most soles aren't attached this way anymore, the manufacturers just use glue. Now glue isn't bad per se, but it doesn't last as long.
I recently bought a pair of Nike Monarchs for 80.00 dollars, and they were shot in 4 months. You'd think for 80.00 dollars they'd last more than 4 months.
That's 240.00 a year for tennis shoes. Or you can spend 240.00 dollars for a good pair of boots that can be resoled.
I think it would be awesome to see some customer reactions when they receive their reconditioned shoes/boots.
I so agree with you especially after totally resurrecting these boots from near complete destruction
Especially the pro bono ones they do.
We would too! 😁 Unfortunately, so many of the shoes we feature are/were mailed in to us. We may figure something out.
Meet the owner that would be great.
Trenton & Heath maybe they could do an unboxing themselves, and you could post it.
I love watching your skilful talents , it's just plain old school high standards and hard work respect from London UK
You are a true craftsman! Boot repairs like this are worth every penny of cost, since you're investing your educated work experience and knowledge in the repairs! Our society needs to think in terms of more of a repurposing mode, instead of throwaway, to save our planet.
Why worth every penny??
@@michaelwhisman Because a restoration can be so much more satisfying than simply buying a new pair.
Watching you hand stitch that welt, was like watching an artist paint, Great Video and Awesome Work!!!
Thank you so much!
That's so wonderful. The customer is really going to love having their shoes back. Better than new- they don't have to be broken in. 🙂
My boots are merely months old...and yet I'm mesmerized watching something I won't need for a while 🤣.
This looks so soothing to do
I absolutely an fascinated by the craftsmanship. How you guys explain everything. Thank you so much.
I could say “why did TH-cam recommend this to me” but i’m glad they did because i enjoy watching craftsmen do their stuff
Thank you!
This is truly amazing what a true craftsman can do and what a beautiful thing it was to see him take something that many would have just discarded, and work it with absolute skill to restore it to something everyone would seek after.
Dang! Just loved this master do his thing! Thank you!
Fascinating video! We have become a waste-full and disposable society, and I love seeing things reworked and renewed by skilled craftsman. It's getting harder to find shoe makers, clock makers, tailors, blacksmiths and other trades that can make things like new again. I've always been a believer in buying good quality (but more expensive) items that last and can be repaired instead of tossed out.
I like the idea of refurbishing rather than buying new. I enjoy fixing things myself. I'd guess, just as my trade, this takes years to master. I did part time finishing work for a leather goods manufacturer and really enjoyed the work.
However much this guy gets paid, it isnt enough. This kind of work isn't appreciated anymore, cant say I would pay for it, but it is amazing.
Thank you so much!
Even if it’s not the shop that posted video the video if you have cobblers in your town use them you’d be surprised at what can be done to get more life out of your footwear especially your favorite boots I just bought some new redwings and you bet I’ll have them redone when ready at least once in their life with me hell I got a I gotta have something type of import boot to last me 4years with a repair or two use your local shops or they won’t be there and new will be only option good job on the vid guys love to see favorite shoes of folks fixed and back on the road I bet the shoes the were fixed in this vid feel like second skins to the owner ....👍👍👍
Consider, as I did decades ago, paid
employment with employee allowance
so you can buy your choice of footwear.
I choose Red Wing and that purchase
our of my attire allowance at no cost .
Until I retired and I'd worn out all but
one pair of boots. Happily, I found
better cold weather waterproof boots,
living as I do in the Pacific Northwest.
I can recommend being paid to go buy
Red Wing. If you're not so paid and
you hate cold wet feet I recommend
Cofta Thermic. $125 a pair out of
New York State. Italian-made but
originally designed by the CCCP
for thermonuclear warfare and
routinely issued to their Spetsnaz.
@@fuzzy11901 Took my boots to a "cobbler" near me, they ruined them. I now only trust cobblers in TX and am willing to pay the extra price for shipping. Not worth ruining a $350 pair of boots
@@notsojoerogan about how much would it cost to get boots repaired like this?
So Impressed with your quality and process description. Love watching you guys work.
My Grandfather in London was a retired shoemaker. When I was was a child I used to watch him in his home workshop doing similar work. He used to repair neighbors and friends shoes for basically the replacement cost of materials. I would guess, as I fast approach his age, he did it to keep his mind occupied,
I'd love to see the reaction of the customers when they unboxed their refurbished kicks.
Same here. I would venture that they would not believe these are the same pair of boots. Absolutely phenomenal how these were changed under the profesional care of a true craftsman.
Wow the boots look awesome. By the looks they never had no love giving to them. Thanks gentlemen have a good weekend and be safe.
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend as well.
That's amazing. I never would have thought they were worth saving. Very awesome work
My 23 yr old son walked in while I was watching this, he teased me I’m getting old for watching shoe repair videos (I’m turning into my dad) BUT he stayed and finished the video with me haha
I just turned 27. I’ve been a huge fan of boot repair and leather quality comparison videos for 4 years now. Some younger people get into the quality and take interest in the craft behind boots/shoes.
I found a pair of Danner “Bull Run” moc toe boots sittin’ pretty at one of my local Goodwills a few years ago. It was 50% off Saturday so I snagged them ASAP! Took em home, cleaned them up, and was blown away at how nice they came out after recrafting. I basically got a $200 pair of boots for under $50 once it wall said and done! Great casual boot, work boot, motorcycle boots very versatile boot (like the Wolverine “1000 Mile” boot).
I LOVE this channel, guys!
#staySAFE everyone! 🙌🏾
You actually ware someone else's boots? YUCK!
Imagine!
Great to see you, my friend! As many times as I’ve seen you and Heath do these jaw dropping transformations, I continue to enjoy them and be amazed. The owner of these Red Wings will be thrilled! Take care.
Thank you, Anthony! You’re awesome.
You are so skillful. A real craftsman. This is truly worthy of respect. Wonderful!
So glad I stopped by this video. So many amazing trades like this have been lost to time, more often than not people throw away their boots and items like this rather than restore them as a person wouldve many years ago. Amazing job, and awesome to watch, thank you so much for keeping this tradition alive.
“There’s not a whole lot we can do for the uppers” is the EPITOME of “under promise and over deliver” 🤯
Tom Peters still RULES !!!!
I want to apologize for the dislikes, this literally is making me want to switch professions lol so satisfying to watch 🥾
The uppers still look crappy even after “refurbishment “

Couldn’t sleep got on TH-cam and this came up on recommendations 🤙🏼 satisfying to watch great video
So freaking awesome ! Love seeing the re furbish process. Thanks for sharing.
So satisfying to watch and they look amazing having been restored.
Y'all rock - what a cool and incredibly well-done job!
I would like to shake the owner’s hand because I know he is a hard working man by looking at these boots!!!
You think a hard working man is going to pay this cobbler’s labor wages?
@@cubistisimo yes why not
@@cubistisimo Cheaper than a new pair
@@cubistisimo Red Wing boots are VERY expensive!!!
@@jayceekarencoxe6983 Um yeah....not THAT expensive. Besides, those boots have a lifetime warranty. Send them back to Red Wing.
Excellent video...I'm in Canada and I can appreciate quality workmanship...I constantly see higher end boots when I'm thrifting that have great potential...most people just keep walking by..I bought a great pair of men's Red Wing boots for a song for my son..and all they needed was a small cleanup..I will keep you guys in mind if I come across something that needs saving...
Love it! Had no idea this was even possible for such a level of deterioration.
My hat off to you, gentlemen, you are truly magicians! You have encouraged me to take care of my shoes, and by extension, my feet.🙏
Awesome and thank you very much!
Those shoes were totally mangled and Red Wing themselves said nah. It's time to leave it to a professional. Fantastic job!!
Red Wing did the right thing.
Amazing job! If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes I wouldn't have even guessed it's the same pair 👏👏
I really like watching a true craftsman at work. Shoe coblers are just that. I always thought this would be a business I would have liked to be in. Great work you all do. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with your viewers.
It's a rainy, chilly, day in the midwest and I love me some Potter and Sons with a cup of coffee.🙂
What a transformation on those moc toe redwing boots...beautifully done.
I wish now that I had sent my Thursdays to Potter and Sons. I tried using a local cobbler and they weren't terrible, but the stitching was sloppy and the heel stack had gaps were they didn't put enough pressure for the leather to hold together.
I had to work on the heels when I got them home. I wanted to put some money in a local business, but next shoe/boot repairs are going to Potter and Sons.
Thank you very much. Thursday Boots contacted us a couple years ago and wanted us to do all of their refurbishments. Unfortunately, we couldn’t come to terms with them. We do love their boots tho.
Some videos just move me to comment, this (of course by the comment itself as evidence) is one.
Your videos are just well done, the commentary is thoughtful, insightful and interesting while being spoken in that soothing voice you have. I have absolutely zero interest in Cobbling but your approach makes it interesting. I must be getting old too as I see the merit in this repair rather than the disposal and purchase of new as new is not always better.
Thanks for the time and effort in the video and the soothing time I enjoyed for 17 minutes.
great job I love watching this it shows how much goes into a pair of shoes and the art of shoe repair
This is true craftsmanship at work! Amazing skills. And very enjoyable to watch! Great work 👍
I can't ever figure out how you-all ever figure out this mid soul add an additional soul type of thing in your very young lives. Some people have apprenticed for generations to become so knowledgeable. You are great craftsman!
As a kid I would often go with my mom to a shoe repair shop, it was cheaper to repair than to get a new pair. I would always be in awe of their work. It truly is an art.
I would have loved to see Christi’s face when she opened up that package with these new boots! Amazing job!
That's REALLY cool. Fantastic repair job. Excellent work!!!!
I been binge watching your videos alot lately. Being an guitar luthier, amp tech, and pedal builder, I appreciate anyone's craft, and especially one the ones who go the extra mile! My top ten channels on youtube!! Really within my top 5.
Time for me to catch some luthier videos. I don't play, but who cares?
@@matttherrien9608 there are some amazing ones out there! Learn alot and just see the time that goes into it.
The sound of that blade going through the old stitching...

Good job done on the restoration.
Wow! Absolutely amazing. You cut the shoestrings even, dang!!
I can't believe your level of knowledge, amazing, it's art.
I want to apologize for the dislikes, this literally is making me want to switch professions lol so satisfying to watch 🥾
@Reality Lives Onward Always your analogy is horrible, and yes you can apologize for other people. It is literally done all the time by people across world lol. But thank you, I appreciate opinion. 👍🏼
771 people jealous of the skill and craftsmanship on the channel...
You have the right last name for this profession
@@BikeWeekScum hahahaha good 🐈 ch
The "cobbler" is definately a dying art. This looks so cool. Makes me wanna watch the Adam Sandler movie, "The Cobbler".
I can remember the days of going to the shoe shop in my hometown and the smell was amazing. Now it's gone and to me a lost art. God bless.
You guys do impossibles and miracles!! I was hoping to see a video like this one. Just to see how far Moc Toes can last. I wanted to know a little more about the history of this boots. Great video
This makes me feel like I’m not taking good enough care of the boots I don’t even own
i didnt know people still rework boots i figured we all just had the mind set to throw them out and buy a new pair .....really cool to see this
Just had new vibram soles on my wolverine 1000 mile boots. That’s the beauty of having Goodyear welts!
Wow!! Amazing 👏. Great job. I have a big understanding & great appreciation for the boot repair community after watching this. I do own a pair of Redwing 877. Thank you for sharing.
Magnificent restoration! Thank you.
Very satisfying to watch, the man even makes his own shoe laces.........
A lot of skills, that once were are gone, glad to see there is still some ''good old stuff'' around.
I salute you!
What a beautiful “lost art”. Taking the time to do this is awesome. I could watch you do this all day long.
Respect to you Sir for keeping this level of craftmanship alive in this disposable society.
WOW... you did an unbelievable job. You are a champion !!
