No one should blame you when you give yourself time to mourn. When someone you love, who was such an important part of your life, passes away, that's going to be painful no matter what. Your editing on this one was fantastic.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I had help with editing on this one 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

[@martuni1539]

Wow those shoes turned out AMAZING. Sorry to hear about your loss and I know exactly what you mean about everybody else seemingly moving on, feels almost like a betrayal. I had the outermost layer of heels on my dainite soles replaced today by a local cobbler and came back to find he put some cheap Chinese rubber heels on my nice boots, had to watch one of your videos to get my energy corrected

Just an FYI, at 26:07 you reversed the Before and After heading but someone would have to be blind not to know the difference. Another great job Bedo!

[@GrahamWalters]

You chat about meeting people, when my father passed away, the family were amazed at the number of people who attended the funeral, I however was not. My ex Wife and I had taken my Mum and Dad on holiday to Switzerland one year, a place they had both always wanted to visit, halfway up a mountain, we are sitting outside a café eating Rosti, when this man walks up to my Dad and says "Hello Stan" ! We spent the next two hours listening to them reminiscing. When the visitor eventually left, I asked my Dad how he knew him, casually my Dad said, "We shared the same landing craft on D Day" ! They hadn't seen each other in over 40yrs, but talked as if it was only yesterday.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Wow what a story. Thanks for sharing

[@bills6093]

@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Have you seen this guy make shoes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZW6pWt4a8d5pNk

[@StarWarriorMusic]

600 is so reasonable since you are basically handwelting the shoes. AND creating a painted spade sole! on your point about the thin leather, my cobbler union double monkstraps are amazing shoes. i love them. However, they cut the blind stich pretty shallow and it only took a few wears to begin wearing through at the toe. wish more manufacturers went a little thicker as you do here.

[@Sunshine-111]

There is no “boring“ when you are working Steve! Watching you work is SOOTHING!

[@MeadyBeard]

People of today are so used to off-the-rack, mass produced, on the cheap, cookie-cutter clothes and footwear that it just utterly boggles their minds that bespoke handcrafted things are expensive in comparison. Beautiful shoes. Great vid.

[@MrVrics]

Honestly Steve, I normally watch in silence. However, please remember, true friends who watch, subscribe etc. are here because of who you are. Take the time to heal your mind and heart and know we're all still here to watch, learn and enjoy your humor and obviously your skilled workmanship.

[@highlevelpilot975]

best pair of spade soles ive ever seen. Cant wait to finish my masters program and get my shoes restored like this by bedo.

[@DenmarkRadar]

2:00 The singular problem with "common sense" is that it a lot less common than the name suggests :-)

[@CarlJones14]

I think people deal with loss differently. Some are very hardened to it through work and personal experiences. They also put emotional values on each life. Someone you've been close to decided to take up base jumping. You'd be a fool to expend emotional energy on this person and when they die from said activity, so what. I don't see death as the end. Having said that, I don't think everyone gets another life. Some aren't worthy. We've just had an article in a big UK newspaper about kids who say they've lived previous lives. Time is key. Great job as usual. Always difficult fined original comments on perfection. 👍

[@TeslaRules1856]

One of the things I like about C&J is their use of wooden shanks, but I fly TSA Pre check alot and go into goverment facilities with metal detectors.

[@832KJV]

I totally get how your jobs are priced now - the amount of time and skill you put into them is impressive. I also get how people seem to 'move on' after someone has passed. Maybe you could tell us more stories of your brother's work (Whitehouse suitcase) to keep him close?

[@Joe___R]

Loosing a loved one will forever change your life, but all you can do is to try to continue living your life as best as possible. Unfortunately the price of loving someone is the heartache when you lose them.

[@algreen1]

I like this kinda easy chilled format with the background music & nice edits here and there, good job, glad to see another great job done right :)

Hi Steve, great Once again, 600 dollars for such craftsmanship is a steal in my eyes, let's hope that the fog clears soon after the dog episode, and the latest bereavement, things will get better I am sure for you. Keep up the good work in the Channel.

[@rhazzzvvv]

Love the background music!!

[@jeroen3946]

All things in live still go on. When you lose someone will always a thing that you will remember. When you lose your parents that’s the most hard thing of live. Because than you are the next generation with a certain responsibilty. However, for what reason you always still saying “Lets continu”? It helps you to see things in the right matter of live. Call it relativize and put in perspective. Your job also helps to support this. So lets continu!

[@imacmanx8562]

Beautiful shoes Steve.....oh, and you're welcome to visit down here in NC.....ANYTIME! Take care my friend.

[@moonstarer55]

Great video Steve showcasing great work…..a fantastic work. You take your own time - your ‘gang’ out here are with you, behind you and supporting you. I think I said before, we’ll still be here. Some people look and act different when we’ve lost someone. They act like nothing happened when to you a great has happened. A lot of that is down to the fact that they don’t know how to act around you. What should they say? They are a bit self conscious is a lot of it. We understand and we don’t need you to be ‘normal’ just be you, we’ll understand . Shine on.

[@Cochise231]

Beautiful work thank you for sharing Every time I watch your videos I think about my Grandfather who was a Cobbler he was sent to an orphanage /trade school and learned to make and repair shoes in Texas in the early 1910's I have one small hammer and a few knives he handmade to work on certain shoes So I truly thank you for showing your craftsmen jobs they help me to remember my Grandfather My condolences for your loss May God Bless you & yours

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

I could watch you for hours. When I was a young girl it was my job to go to the cobbler to get our shoes tended to or left to be worked on. I loved to watch the man work on the shoes. So many machines! I still remember the smells of the shop!

Beautiful job, interesting soles!

[@roberthoffhines5419]

"loud thoughts". Yes. Life going on can seem almost grotesque. Times like this is why you do art. Know that we're all rooting for you out here.

[@UnCoolDad]

Watching you I see dozens of steps where one small mistake, and the shoe is ruined. Craftsmanship, experience, and quality cost money. That's what you are paying for.

[@romainegangaram4808]

Bedo is beast! You are the mother of shoes dude lol. Seriously. There are other KZbin cobblers and they can't swing like you. You're seriously underpriced, but I hope you stay that way so people can afford your art brother. Anyways I like your elevator music, leave the haters behind. I would say you should find the best god damn elevator music on earth and play it!🤣👌

[@ron7202]

Depending on a number of factors, this repair could last many years; which brings the cost back down. In my case, I may never need another repair. Awesome work Steve!

[@Rielcool]

I gotta say I like the "Before" a whole lot better than the "After"! . . . (Because you switched them around in the final comparison shot)

[@goodcat4644]

Fantastic look, if I could give you 10 thumbs up I would. When you mentioned how the last repair wasn't a good repair I took note and realized the flaws in the last repair. I am a victim of that type of repair work. I wish you the best life offers and that you may feel the love of your viewers.

[@richroy80]

[@ismetarslan7]

Forget about the people who criticize your work or the price. If they can do it better, I suggest them to open a shop like yours and start their own business with lower prices. PS. Yes everyone must get trained well what ever they work on but everybody is not lucky enough to have a good mentor like yours. RIP. God bless you Steve.

[@paulschena8493]

Steve, that’s true for people that are not your immediate family, but I’ll bet your father’s immediate family still thinks about him almost every single day. That’s is how it’s supposed to be. Everyone else must go one as normal, because they all have their own immediate family members to remember and we have ours.

I would love a pair of alligator shoes! They breed those things now for just there skins I told her the Florida governor also do you want to have hunting season on the boa constrictors and make boots out of them I said then that’ll get a lot of people out of the rocking chairs and go out there with their little hooks and killed 20 foot pythons!

That's the thing about grief. There are no instructions. Everyone goes through it differently. There are no rules. You take the time you need. You get through the grief and come out the other side stronger. In that strength you can remember your person with fondness instead of sadness.

[@tonyfernandez4189]

My condolences to you and ur family sir. May God comfort and grant you and yours the peace and strength to get thru such a difficult time.

[@kcstott]

For a middle class guy like me that is very expensive. That said, the amount of work involved, the attention to detail, the finer touches, I mean that was not a resole. That was a full restoration. So $650 for a fully recrafted pair of well made shoes is actually very reasonable. Your videos and others that show the craftsmanship and labor that goes into shoe repair justifies the cost involved. I’m a craftsman as well but in steel. And potential customers will question the price. I simply say they are more then welcome to take the work somewhere else. Then they find one of two thing 1. I’m the only guy in the area that will do the work 2. I’m usually slightly cheaper then other shops or they see I’m including things other shops charge extra for. One thing I learned years ago was never undercut your prices. You have to make a living. I’d rather have less work for more money and more time to do it right then more work for less money and less time that makes it impossible to do my best work.

Everyone will be mourning in their own way, most people don’t talk about it but will still be hurting immensely.

Stay safe and hug every single person who means something to you, never sleep on an argument and forgive easily. Much love dude...xxx
