I appreciate a gentleman that is able to admit he made a mistake. No doubt your customer was pleased.

I’m 14 and I’m saving up for a sewing machine but in the future i definitely want to do this type of stuff

Granted im nowhere near this talanted with leather, but the confidence he has when he rips apart a several thousand dollar handbag is unreal. I'd be scared to death to mess it up

What some people don’t realize is while you are obviously a skilled/experienced cobbler that is dedicated to doing great repair work, you have taken on new video making experiences which adds a whole new “ball game" to your work.  Now you are a cobbler, video producer and educator.  In my mine, that changes your profession three fold.  I think your doing a great job, looks like your learning how to improve all three skills with each video.  I will certainly consider contacting you when I need your services.

Ended up here by accident, and couldn't shut it off. Here's a compliment...No one gets 53 minutes of my day like that!! Props to loving your craft and being so damn good at it.

My heart quickened when he cut the stitching apart.

My wife: wanna watch a movie?
Me: Nah I'm watching Bedo fix a Louis Vuitton purse.  I'm good

You're a mastercraftsman.  Not enough people learning this valuable trade.

Ya know with your advanced skill set you could create your own line bags. Bedo Vuitton

Thank you for showing me where my money is going when I buy these products. I have a whole new appreciation for the skilled craftsmanship x

You are the Bob Ross of shoe/bag repair!

You’re a Leather Craftsman not just a shoe repair guy. You’re so detailed in how you explain your work. Thank you very very much. Awesome job.

Take a shot every time he says “Alright, let’s continue”

Me: Watching in wide eyed fascination as a Louis Vuitton gets ripped apart piece by piece.

Steve. Don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure the people at Louis Vuitton could learn a few things by looking over your shoulder too.

Far too often in my job, I speak with people that blame the equipment and fail to accept personal responsibility when things do not go as planned. It is refreshing to see a professional with true skill in his art admit his error. The fact that you stopped and redid your own work to check for errors shows your character. Thanks.

It was an absolute privilege to watch you work sir. You are a true master of your trade and it's mesmerizing to watch you apply your skills. Thank you for sharing.

Definetely have an appreciation for your craft and love for it as its shows in your attention to every detail.

Steve, no harm, no foul.  I think that you did an incredible job on the bag... and even found the cause of the zipper error and fixed it.
My best friend's father was an upholsterer, and we'd occasionally hang out at his shop and watch him work.  He'd make the occasional mistake as well, but would straighten things out for a nice finished product.  Everybody has those moments, and I think you handled it very nicely.
There's a reason that you won those awards, and IMO, you earned them!  Congratulations!

Some days are winners and some days…are just harder.  However, I enjoyed every minute of your video! Excellent work as always!
