    This video has everything: the fashion, the “hey man”, the sharpening of the blade, the detailed explanations, the spunk, the attention to detail, the details about tying off the threads, and just overall excellent, masterful work. I bought a sewing machine to hem some of my pants and remember having a hell of a time. I think I should use some glue in the process to make things easier. Of course, I do prefer the shoe content, but the bag content just shows your amazing talent with a sewing machine among other things. I hate bobbins as well. I think that the patina on the bottom is warranted because of the age of the bag. Brilliant work as usual!

    A classic example of re-thinking a project to preserve its provenance by keeping it as original as possible. A complement to our craftsman and the lady who knows a keeper when she wears one. This second-life bag will go everywhere…

    I find your videos very interesting and I like your teaching of how your trade should be done.
    I just wanted to say Thank you for the effort of putting your content out there and I look forward to every video you put out.

    Yes that spool... normal machines for cloths etc has always such little spools... I hate it too. So before I start a project I make sure I have made a few spools before hand. Because it's making me grumpy when you have to make a new spool. I bought about 30 spools extra for that purpose... lol
    I am really in shock... I thought you controlled your machines with your mind. Nope just like all of us you use your foot... so disappointed... lol
    I dont know why people are triggered by you sharpen your blade... I mean... whata wrong with it??? I don't know... It's good for the environment as you can use your blades so much longer. Because of you I am sharpen mine now too... goes a long way now... thank you. You are simply the best... big hugs from Belgium. When did you say you come visiting me???

    I smile when I see you, my Son-in-Law is from the Lebanon (now living in Australia) and we travel from the U.K. every year to see them. When he sees me, he is obsessed with my leather bags and shoes and wants to know where I get them from - he just loves good leather products - as do I …
    I particularly love Vintage The Bridge Italian leather bags, I have far too many of them (according to my husband!) - when he starts paying for them, only then can he comment!!!!
    I do obsessively look after them, always clean, moisturised and polished. I think nothing looks worse than leather shoes that aren’t polished and in good order. Shoes can make or break an outfit.
    I really love watching you work - many thanks …

    @arosenberger87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I think the reason why it bothers people that you sharpen your 'disposable blades' is because they're so cheap to them but what they don't realize is that you run a business. You probably go through thousands of blades a year. Now imagine if you didn't sharpen them how many would you actually go through? It makes sense as a business person that a few swipes on a file or sharpening stone to extend the life of a blade, it helps the overall profitability of the business.

    • @deepcover9894
      @deepcover9894 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would think there are a couple of reasons. When you sharpen the blade, it is just a bit better than before it was sharpened, but not the dramatic change of a brand new blade. Easier to control the cut. The second reason is that Steve was undoubtedly raised to be frugal and the habit stuck.

    • @sevesteen2
      @sevesteen2 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wonder what Steve's effective hourly rate is. I bet he earns more than the cost of a blade in the time it takes to sharpen a blade....although as I type this, maybe it's faster to sharpen a blade than it is to change one.
