You didn’t do this for the money Steve. You did this for a deeper meaning. How many times did you think of your dad while do this project, I thought of mine while looking at this video. I think the plaque from YouTub came at the right time, you deserved it , congratulations Steve and I wish you many more awards ahead of you. 👍

@Bulldozer Only 800 usd for this restoration? That bag was a mess.

[@Nancyjarnecke]

And BTW -it’s $800 minus $200 for the leather material used! Also, you can subtract the rent, lights, heat, electric and taxes! Plus video production so we could watch it! So the “days pay” isn’t as huge as you think! Great job Steve!

[@leelindsay5618]

@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Beautiful work. If you would like to reduce hand tremors and improve your fine muscle control, look into Magnesium Malate supplements. There are many peer-reviewed studies you can look into. I have found within 30 days of supplementing, you will see a nearly complete reduction of shaking hands. The added bonuses include headache reduction and reduced muscle sorness. If you find more metal components in leather; you can convert the rust (iron oxide) to iron tannate which won't rust with a comercially available rust converter. It will protect the leather from the corrosive rust.

This is the 3rd or 4th time I'm playing this, as it's been in the background will I work...but I'm just now realizing that he did this in one freaking day!!! When I first watched this, & he was talking about Saturday being the Dad's birthday, I assumed it was like the next Saturday, so he only had a week to get this done....but no, he had one day to work on this & complete it...that is impressive, & I don't impress easily (maybe I do, I don't know). I'm really much more impressed that Bedo agreed to drop everything & bang this out by it's crazy deadline, than I am that he completed in one day...that's some selflessness to make some folks happy, really going above & beyond the call of duty on this one - bravo!!

I was thinking that you should have them run the outsole stitcher machine and of course at this point I'm laughing my ass off. Thank you so much Steve for taking us along this lifetime journey that you are on and all the knowledge that has come with it wish I would have had you out there with your hammer when I was banging nails for a living I simply love Hammer Time congratulations keep the videos coming PS the naysayers can get off their horses and walk a while it'll shut them up
