There isn't a man on planet earth who is as good as you at repairs to shoes. My father was a farmer and shoe maker, we used to use are own leather from the cattle. You sir, are the best of the best
There's nothing like watching a top craftsman do what he does. I'm addicted to these.
I love how my 3 yr old thinks that you are actually talking to her when you're talking, so she responds to you lol. I love the work you do!
I agree with keeping the vintage aesthetic. Those shoes have an old soul, and a new sole : )
That’s pretty good man😂
I l
Like those shoes man
I hope you have an apprentice I would hate to see your sublime skills be lost to mankind your a true artisan
I hand stitched my 1st full welt yesterday... (awl and needles) my fingers where sore.. the stitching was messy (its just my own pair of slip on shoes for the garden and farm yard).... at one point I cut it apart, to fix the lining and it looked like an exploded banana.
Today I got 1/2 of the 2nd shoe welted.. I did much better, I hurt less.. I am pleased to have learned to rip a shoe apart and redo it.. without fear .
Thank you Steve !

Here's me...
I'm a retired home builder and I will watch every and any craft I myself have never performed. I will continue to watch every episode as it never gets old to see another experienced craftsman display their skills.
The one 5hing that you do that blows my mind (and that is most everything you do) is the crazy skill you have with that razor knife! I have held them most everyday for 45 years and cannot so easily master it especially in proximity of easily damaged materials. You're amazing Steve, and I have watched you do about 40 or more 50 videos and I am always ready for more.
I should add, being disabled and now retired, I get a great dose of craft skill in every episode! Thanks steve😊👍
Good on yah
Mr. Bedo,
Thanks again for great entertainment and fine craftsmanship. Pray you and family are well in these whacky times. Grace and Peace.
I swear I'm going to visit your place on my 1st trip to America with a broken pair of shoes, just so I can have a coffee with you and watch you work brother. Absolute masterpiece indeed. Wade Goodwin, The Fair Digest, Cape Town, South Africa

Who would watch one of your videos and then not subscribe? You do such great work and teach your viewers so much. Who would not want to see more? This was a nice project. You improved the shoe as always and did it economically. I am sure the customer was happy. Not every repair requires a JR sole. You wouldn't carry an inferior house leather. The customer got what was asked for. Love your videos.
I watched lots of cobblers on TH-cam videos, but no one is like you, you are the best
Never apologize for ranting about poor craftsmanship. You have a high standard of professionalism and it's good to know when others are fudging on their jobs. It lets us know what to look for in a botched repair.
Not every cobbler has an eye for detail or enjoy doing their best like you. You take pride in your work. Need more people like you! 😉
I never get tired of watching a professional at work.
A Cobbler that doesn't take care about or pay attention to details on a repair is a bad Cobbler. Those bad cobblers should remember about this "Quality is job number one". And a good job will bring back clients.
'Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.' - CS Lewis
You can take that to the bank. Steve certainly has it. Superb repair.
teddy G A gentleman is someone who uses a butterknife even when dining alone. Not sure who said it but I so rarely get to use it I couldn’t help myself!
Bedo's shirt? Hmmmmm... Good idea! Bedo's merch! BTW I like that the customer wanter to keep the finish old school. Awesome restoration as usual.
I love the way you talk to yourself, and your sense of humor. Oh, I too enjoy hammer time! 😂🤣😂
You do amazing work! Thanks for opening the door to let us peek inside. 😁👍
I enjoy how you dissect the shoe as you CSI the many discrepancies the previous cobbler committed in repairing the shoe. I like the moments when you share a brief history on the many vintage machines you have in your shop. Another excellent episode!
I don’t know why but I have an overwhelming urge to subscribe to this channel now....
Steve, I thought of you immediately yesterday after the accident in Beirut. If you have any family there, I pray they are okay.
God Bless. (Beautiful repair By the way.)
Nancy Offenhiser yes it broke heart
Family is ok
Thank you
The whole experience for someone like me, is that your videos are like just hanging out at the shop... watching how you do what you do... and listening to what's on your mind and sharing a rant or three (ok, some coffee would be good too). The only thing missing are the things which make it all the more real. The smell of the waxes, dyes, leather, glue drying, etc.
Nice work done on those poor ol'/abused (by other shops) hoof-covers. You've turned 'em back into good/solidly crafted, sturdy foot gear once again. A guy could slap those puppies on and know he's got some good shoes on his feet, and not be embarrassed by their appearance/condition.
Elegant Oxford did a review video (posted today) of a line of shoes out of Spain (made in China). He did a good job of trying to point out the selling points of what you're getting for the price... but, what I couldn't get passed is that the breast of the heel was the only part which touched the floor. Standing in those, the "hinge" created to break down the integrity of their build would just create a line of pressure across your foot as your weight would force the rest of the heel to make contact with the floor. I appreciate an honest review, and the opportunity to place an eye of scrutiny on the product. I'd gladly give up a blind stitched sole in order to gain a flat resting heel.

If Steve would read this, I would suggest offering some hand made leather goods for the public to buy. As your fan base grows and so does your reputation for quality, people are willing to pay for excellent hand made items. Wallets, belts, keychains, watch bands, and purses are just a few of the items you could offer. Start small and see the response, and then go on from there. You have now become a brand name and people will want those items.
Definitely!!!
Michael V I head ya
But you have to understand I’m a one man show and can barley keep up with the repair/restorations
But maybe smaller items.
Bedo's Leatherworks LLC , we would try to clone you, but the world isn’t big enough for two Steves!😆And anyway we don’t deserve the one Steve we have.😉
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Thank you for your time, talents, skills, humor, craftmanship, and for posting your Excellent videos. I always click the like before even watching and always share for others to enjoy. Take care and God Bless. Peace, Joy, & Love Brother. Wishing you the very BEST.
I enjoy watching a true craftsman displaying his skills.
I have ruined more than one pair of shoes, but they were my own. As you said, one has to start somewhere. One of the things I learned the hard way is that when replacing the welt without a last (or at least a shoe tree) inserted, it is possible to change the width of the shoe. I learned to proceed with caution. I have learned so much from you, and still am. Thanks.

Steve you are amazing. not just a great cobbler...but a fantastic person. Always answering questions and helping people. Thank you!
I love how you often come around to the customer's vision of their shoe or bag. This just shows your generosity of spirit, given that you can appreciate other aesthetic view points. You are a kind and gentle soul... even if you are a jerk with a needle.
I’m with the customer on keeping the “old” look. There’s something so satisfying about old brown shoes. Good job!
Indeed Steve, a bit of leather and your spare time and you could merch the heck out of your channel. You'd be amazed how much you could sell!
There are many so called cobblers out there that should of been butchers. Your work shows that you take pride in whatever you work on, unlike many people that don't give a dame. 👍🏻
Good choice keeping old patina. Nice work!
Watching your vids makes me appreciate more shoe/boot makers and cobblers works
You know what time it is when Steve uploaded a new video... yep that's right guys! #itshammertime 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨⏰🤣🤍
I hope you are able to find someone to train that has the same set of values as you do to pass this legacy onto. Quality repair work takes a true craftsman and a love of the work that they do.
I believe that you come in with the right attitude / values and build from there. I think it takes a lot of life lessons for an average person to wake up and know X job is their passion. But it's not just that, there's also business acumen to attend with. You have to know both sides of the shop, to make it work. Steve is a rare person. Actually I am not going to say specifically rare. There's just millions of businesses and jobs that need a person like Steve and there's not enough people like him to go around. Every facet of society needs people like Steve to raise us to the next level of civility. You can tell with Steve, it's not all about the bottom line, and that's quite refreshing.
Steve:, not quite sure if your videos are more therapy for you or for me, but either way, it is win-win for both of us! Thanks so much for posting!! Rocky ✝️🇺🇸✡️🇮🇱
Hi Steve. Really enjoy your videos. My uncle was a Cobbler and I remember as a kid watching him and smelling the leather. It was fun. What a great craft and you get kudos fo really caring about the quality of your work. I am older now and just enjoy your craftsmanship. Regards
For a less expensive job, they turned out quite nice. The quality of the materials used are probably on par with what was used originally.
Yea, the color of the uppers turned out really good. No need to color it at all.
Loved your old Italian boss anecdote. Killed me... 😂😂😂
Yeap, the customer was right on leaving their life story on the uppers...
How did I get here first?. Much better than watching the news.
One of the nicest guys on TH-cam, with manners too, your little piece at the end asking to subscribe, as opposed to rude norm of demanding you subscribe before you've even watched the video. Good work Steve. Regards from Scotland.
Thanks for letting me watch you, enjoyed the conversation ✌️, brother
Most wholesome content on TH-cam. Great work!
What I really love you is that you take GREAT PRIDE in what you do and also you go the EXTRA MILE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS, ALWAYS A GREAT JOB, P.S. I what your videos when I get off work with coffee and a peanut butter sandwich like watching one of my favorite show.
The all too obvious differences between a CRAFTSMAN and a HACK are shown. Leather, metal, wood, stone, or you name it quality workmanship speaks for itself. Steve's work is QUALITY.
lol, sorry, a few times when you were saying half-soles i thought you were saying "assholes". i finally got what you were saying...
Funny! The word side-kick and psychic are close in sound. I sometimes chuckle when I mis hear it.
"Nooo it's not a jerk holding a needle" 😂🤣 Thanks for making me laugh Steve you are awesome!
I'm a metal fabricator(lots of cutting grinding, rotary tools, etc) and I still get anxiety watching you run the edge trimmer lol. I know you are clearly well aware and well experienced, its just a gut thing I can't help!
God bless your hands and fingers!! 🤲🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼 What an accuracy!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for giving us these videos to watch during the pandemic and letting us watch you work--it gives me a lift to see you transform all these shoes and handbags and give them life again. Every time I get a notification that you have a new video, I head over to youtube. One of these days I will be sending over my non-fancy pants handbag, which is a personal favorite. Keep the videos coming!
You sir, are the ultimate shoe restoration craftsman!
It's taking pride in your workmanship that counts regardless of your skill level.
I think my favorite parts of these videos are Steve's "Hey man" bit.
Hi Steve. I don't know why, but watching your videos is so satisfying, just can't stop... 😁
Great work, as always. I'm particularly impressed that you gave this pair of shoes your full attention and care despite the customer having a somewhat limited budget. Much respect.
That’s great work Steve. You always do the cleanest work.
Super resole. One day I'd love to see you ironing the edge of the sole, especially after you've taken the time to trim it like you did in this vid. Thanks again!
Fantastic job again Steve.
Love your vids, Man. Love ‘em!
Beautiful work!
Great vids steve. A must watch.
I can tell that you take extreme pride in your work which is very notable, you are an artist in shoe repair. Great job, Jay
The thoughtful explanations and variations are a pleasure to watch. Plus the “hammer time” time.
Whole week waiting for your new video!
Hello Steve! I learned a word today: WELT! (I'm French Canadian soooo!) " WELT" DONE!

Great work as always Steven!
Love your sense of humor! You are allowed to toot your own horn.
Thank you for showing us your work. We always learn something from you.
beautiful work! I really like the new camera angle too. ( and the Barney voice cracks me up!!!)
Awesome content. Love watching your videos.
Another beautiful job, Steve!
Beautiful shoes. You're skill really makes them look great again!
Superb works. Keep on coming
I love your videos Steve, they always cheer me up. Best wishes from UK x
Steve you’re a inspiration When I’m in pain in the morning you brighten my day thanks too you and your family 🙏
Awesome work Steve
Yes! Just what's needed.
Just like how you put some work in those soles , you give us -the viewers- satisfaction and happiness in our souls haha. Hammer time 🔨
As always a plesure to watch your craftmanship, a good old handmade thumbs up.
I love your videos lol 😆 love the way you explain everything and always crack yourself up 😃
keep up the good work, I like your honesty and love for the craft, its an art that needs to continue.
Thank you for the great videos that you have created.
Great video, as always. Beautiful shoes.
Getting so very close to 100k subs! Congrats on all your hard work paying off.
Looks great again Steve, love what you're doing.
A true master at work! I so enjoy how you laugh at your own jokes! Hammer time! 😜😜😜😍
Lovely work.
I love your passion for your art. I also love your artistry. I'm really rethinking my career choices.
So enjoyable to see a real craftsman at work, thank you very much.
Another great vid, there’s everything to enjoy each time you post something. Best wishes from Edinburgh, Scotland.
Yet another great job well done
Personally I would have sent these back to Allen Edmonds for a recraft, but this is a great restoration job. Very impressive!
Tim D A/E would have declined that request in a heartbeat then you would lose out on the shipping cost back to you.
Great looking shoes, I like the patina. Love the story behind that crank in the machine that is hilarious!
Nice work. Also, nice to see your videos of shoe repairs again.
Marvelous repair!
It is really good to watch you work at your craft. lovely job, well done! Thank you for sharing.
So close to 100k subs! I feel so old, I remember only a year or so ago when you only had 38k subs
Shoes look great Steve as usual. Love the channel and you, thanks for the enjoyment I get watching your show.
Hi there i love your chanel. Keep up the good work. It is lovely to see the end result
A big difference. Great job
Such a humble and highly skilled craftsman!👏
The previous repair job is a brilliant example of how much some people will sacrifice quality in the name of cost cutting. It's more important to get good service than to get cheap service, and it saves money in the long run because you don't have to do it as frequently.
