ASMR - 72 Year Old Bible Deconstructing & Rebinding

This Bible belongs to an elderly customer of mine. She’s had it in her possession since she was young. The Bible itself is a mass produced item and it really doesn’t have a hole lot of market value. But it meant everything to the customer so that’s why she wanted it restored. This one took me over 8 hours to get done. This was a $500 job, needless to say to say not much profit on this one, but it’s ok as long as she is happy, that’s what matters.

Funniest thing I’ve heard on this channel. Steve says “God dammit” while working on a Bible. 😂

[@gavindadds4414]

Kept waiting for those pictures to rip, still can't believe you got them out intact. Great job as usual, I'm sure the owner was extremely happy, good for another 70 years.

The suspense was killing me 😆

A repair of Biblical Proportions ! Merry Christmas

[@Hectorious2222]

At the beginning of the video, I had no idea how this could be saved, but you did it. It beautiful, and ready for another 70 years. I bet the customer was very impressed and joyful of this restoration. Amazing Job!

[@ChitoSantos23]

Merry Christmas... Love your channel... 😎

[@davidsotier1546]

As a Christ follower the care you took with our Lords word makes me very happy. You sir are the most amazing craftsman that I have ever witnessed. Be blessed.

[@4115t41r]

As a Christian I understand the emotion behind the preservation. Your skill is wonderful.

[@spamham1976]

In the famous sarcastic tone “ hey man you could have re dyed the leather to match the cover, what’s wrong with you” 😂😂

[@james2592OldLeatherSmith]

OLD Leather Smith here, nice job Steve. The last one I got in came in pieces, I had 2 repair 6 pages, and replace Front Back and spine. It's not done yet I will B carving the front cover and gold leafing it, and the spine. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND please have a Safe NEW YEAR. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@jads9296]

A great unique project Steve. My family had one of those bibles. It had the same front cover and spine but different pictures inside. Very cool! Thanks 😊

An impressive job as always. What I don’t understand though, is why the customer didn’t send the job to a professional bookbinder.

[@davidklingler484]

Spectacular work and a great video to drop this time of year.

[@dolphinlover1691]

Holy Bible Steve 😳 I'm writing as I watch, and I'm on the edge of my seat 😬 The ad came as a bit of light relief... I'll get back to your video now...

[@Jesselovespinball]

What a beautiful job ! Always impressed by your skill set Steve . I’d like to think I’m in the same category but with things not involving leather . You pick up skills as you go. Each job is different and you learn something new each time . After 20+ years you really get good at your craft . Number one rule , never stop learning, there’s something to learn from even novices. Always a pleasure to watch it come together Steve . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@terrimills8609]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Steve. You are an excellent craftsman. 🎄🤶🏻🎅🏼❤️💚

So impressive! My grandson has been learning how to make leather belts in high school and loves working with leather. I have an industrial sewing machine in my shop and make leather bags but I'm new to belts and tooling. I'd like to know more and have been watching lots of videos. Thank you for all that you content creators put out there for us amateurs!

I think you did a beautiful job,the way you paid attention to such detail was a "shear art" form of the master re-creating another work of art,made me full of anticipation to witness it's outcome.
