I MADE MY OWN IRON RANGER BOOTS. From scratch!!!!!! ASMR

[@albert333pool]

Let's continue 👍

[@TgWags69]

You mentioned one time that making a pair of shoes was always an aspiration of yours. Thanks for sharing it with us. I knew you wouldn't have a problem doing it! They look great!

[@Sac_153]

I just saw the video of turning a stitch down shoe to Goodyear welted 4 years ago then saw this one where he's making it out of scratch in the video he said maybe once he's retired he would make shoes ig he's doing it now and with great quality too 👏

[@docwatson8848]

Need boots make your own, I mean how many people can do that? You’re not just a shoe repair person you are a top level Cobbler and have proven that once again. Thanks for your videos

[@alan_wood]

Thank you. It's an honour to see a craftsman at work.

[@williamolliges2622]

I used to get my repair work done by a custom boot maker that sadly retired. I’d see all the boots on their lasts when I dropped mine off. Then many of them would be at the point when the last was removed when I picked mine up. I always missed the part where the last was removed. The mystery continues. Damn. That throw away buckle was riveted on. I guess not everyone swaps out buckles on a regular basis.

We watch Mr. Doudaklian for his colourful commentary and insight. When he speaks, the viewer feels as if he's carrying on a conversation. He's like Mr. Rogers, only less creepy.

[@ludwigkhoury6813]

You honored your father. Good man!!

[@gregrus874]

Your dad would be proud. Beautiful work by the master.

[@KENICUSONE]

My sentiments exactly

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

I was going to say the same thing. Steve's baba is looking down and beaming. 💚

[@codybroken]

This man is a supreme craftsman and an artist. A joy to watch random comments: beautiful leather. 11:04 - ooh that's a nice sewing shot. Two tone stitching is brilliant Steve is a magician with a basic hardware store utility knife Judging by the materials used, these custom-made Iron Rangers will long outlast the Red Wing versions.

[@nigelwylie01]

“Steve the Cordwainer” you stepping into your father’s shoes? Great stuff!

[@EdAb]

How many people have already begged and pleaded for their own custom boots from Steve?! How many people are sad that Steve will never be able make them such a special pair?!!! Amazing, Steve!!!

[@Brajin1]

Okay, Hammer time boot company, let’s go!!!! Might be the best video you ever made. Really enjoyed the filming of the stitching, that takes some real craft and skill. Hope you keep making shoes in the future. Nice looking belt too! Also, give those Indy’s a brush man 😂😂

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Now that was a treat! Excellent as always! You educate us all!

[@askcgr]

You Sir are an extremely talented craftsman. It's good to know people like you still exist and proudly work.

[@stevefranks9873]

Considering all your leather wizardry I've watched over the years, I'm actually surprised you haven't done this sooner, especially after seeing you create those masterpieces. Bravo!

[@1979augistine]

When i saw the belt i prayed for the same 3 row stitching as the boots absolutely amazing my guy you hit this outa the park grand slam !!!!

[@supremegalacticcommander2783]

Those came out awesome! I love the color and the pop of the stitching, really nice!

[@miroslavapobjecka330]

I remember as you were saying you are not a shoemaker , you only repair them. That you never learnt it from your Father. This proove you wrong, thank you for this amazing new year gift and am sure your Father is proud of you watching from above. Can't wait to see what else you master this year . 😊😊

[@504CreoleCrystal]

These boots have always been special to me. My father was a longshoreman for 35 years after he came back from Vietnam. The steel-toe Iron Ranger was his work boot of choice for his entire career…up to his retirement. You did an amazing job on these and brought back so many memories! Thanks Steve! 24:40 La Vie en Rose…I love that song!

[@sausage305]

Steve, I appreciate how your shakes give you a natural sawing motion to your razor blade, efficiency at its finest!

[@KENICUSONE]

Mistakes? A truly custom handcrafted pair of boots.

[@wayoutwest4944]

True artistry making your own shoes. Thanks for taking the time to get the great videos of the process.

[@RatdogDRB]

Pops be smiling' right now and sayin': 'Das m'boy right 'dere!!" Nicely done Steve. I bet I know what your spawn get for Christmas when their hooves are done growing. The break-in begins getting that footbed just right. Try slathering a load of Bick4 all over the inside. It made break-in of all my AEs a lot quicker with that leather softened up a tad.

[@bevvie007]

Amazing Steve!!!

[@victorcarrillo3079]

Fantastic craftsmanship, they honestly look better than actual Iron Rangers.

[@MichaelDeming]

You got me, I did not expect stitch down construction OR the belt. I really enjoyed the video, you made functional art. Nice work.

[@JinKee]

I always wondered: why do Iron Rangers prefer the 270 degree welt, rather than the 360 degree welt?

[@rayclark44]

What a gift you have Steve. We've watched a Wizard showing us what's in his heart, thank you Sir Take care & stay safe 👍🇬🇧🍀

[@mikeisgettinupset]

Awesome job. This one is definitely in my top favorite videos from you now.

[@bradleythomas5445]

Bravo! You’ve taken your craft to the next level. The matching belt is just genius. Looking forward to your 2024 projects.

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

The belt and shoes you made are very handsome! Nice thread colors and leather choice! Your Christmas gift to yourself? Heck yeah! Let’s continue! Hugz, Tree

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

Boom! 💥 Must’ve been a great moment taking those first few strides. Amazing skills!

[@johnearhart8811]

Amazing Steve. You've been wanting to do this for a long time. Excellent.

[@Traderjoe]

You really are a natural footwear maker, and I think that you are coming into your own now. Congratulations!

[@randynovick7972]

This is super-neat. Thanks for sharing it all... though I had to fill in my own "hammer time" and "let's continues" :P ... nbd, such a pleasure. I'm curious to know how they break in, actually. Congrats!

[@LewisSkeeter]

Christmas present to yourself. Beats socks and jumpers!

[@JMRichard92]

Boot making is a whole different beast, but I think they turned out awesome! Good work!

[@petercampbell3828]

The best "project" yet!. I wouldn't want to have your inbox after this video! All the best in 2024.

[@lolpwndk]

Look at this guy! Just making his own boot! Alright, Let's continue. Love the work Steve!

[@78jog89]

Humbly, I think your Dad and brother would be super proud of the work. Your mix of art and artisan is a rare combo, and, combined with exquisite taste, is killer. Thanks for posting and looking forward to next year's projects.

[@georgesimeone6292]

Really beautiful, and they don't have the big clown toe like the Iron Rangers do.

[@russupholster8221]

Grand slam Steve beautiful boots!! Hell yeah!!

[@charles.mccormick]

Thanks for this! Always great to see a master at his craft. That hammer/pliers tool was seriously cool, BTW.

[@albertkelly7129]

This is outrageous.... imagine as a dude having the skills to make your own pair of boots AND matching belt AND in your own branded leather!! Unreal

[@fronniebealer7808]

I was intrigued by every cut and stich. Quality boots for a quality guy.

[@chinatownboy7482]

Interesting choice to build it as a stitchdown boot.

[@collarsncolours]

You sir, are an absolute mad man. Boy do those look beautiful

[@sumayam.ramirezusnret.1302]

These boots remind me of my first US Navy boots 🥾 made by Bates! So awesome to see you build a pair from scratch, so awesome to see you work for the past few years 🎉! Thank for sharing your passion for 👞 shoes, hammers, watches, and coffee! ☕️ …and for inspiring Dan at the Tring’s in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@aurorasalinas1215]

Awesome job Steve! I have enjoyed every single video you have produced. Thank you and may the LORD continue to bless you and your family

[@blumpkin50]

Steve is on another fucking level... I will never stop watching. I am going to make something out of leather. Just a little card holder out of an old pair of leather gloves. Thanks for what you do brother.

[@zkampyman]

Sweet! Very Sweet! And I love the blue slate gray color.

[@jimmccoys5778]

Hope to see how these wear and the patina they develop!! Please show us these sown that road!! Awesome

[@generaljerm]

We need to hear you steve . Let's continue!! To another year . Keep up the amazing work and videos.

[@bustermv]

You just saw a high level of craftsmanship.

[@rhondabeard7012]

Beautifully done love the blue stitching 😊

[@Hectorious2222]

Those are Amazing! I can see your passion in the craftsmanship. 10/10

[@vanemaster4345]

I've caught you whispering "good", "stop" and "okay" several times. Edit: shakey shakey handey and rattly watch Edit 2: oh, and pretty cool boots

[@likearc]

Oh that was a good one, Steve! Very cool

[@jimmer1047]

If they weren't so beautiful they'd make me want to unretire and go back to work! But this old ironworker would never wear boots THAT beautiful to work. You sir are now "dressed to the nines." Happy New Year Steve and all the viewers. 🎉

[@wolfgangbarreto1833]

WELL ! I have seen a lot of your work as your videos are regular viewing of mine. Thus I know that these are top of the line as they bear your family name. You must be proud and you should be proud as do do world class work and it comes from great heritage through your father. PLUS it is never bragging when it is true. Keep those inspiring videos coming .

[@anaphylaxis2548]

Beautiful work! I'm a leather worker also, but I've never made shoes or boots.

[@28dtorres]

Awesome work

[@pm1104]

Love the new blue boots Stevo……..a touch of class with the blue stitching ! ❤

[@verblvik]

I had my doubts... I don't anymore, holy hell those look amazing

[@joseeyzaguirre9086]

So nice Steve, congrats!!!!!

[@kennethmcelrath3468]

Right on Steve! Good job sir!🫡

[@deepcover9894]

Absolutely gorgeous job, Steve. We all knew you could do it! Like to see the Dudaklian name stamp!

[@СлаваЦГ]

Fabulous! Excellent work, the next step is to work on individual models and sizes of consumers. In our area they say - experience is the son of difficult mistakes! This means that the master also made mistakes, but reached his level!

[@Jane-yp7hy]

Great job as usual Steve - you still saying I'm just a cobbler then? I wish you and yours a very happy and prosperous new near.

[@TLC2034]

Killed it, Steve! Well done!

[@markmilan01]

Another one! Great job crafting your own pair of boots & belt!!

[@syednaumanhussain6658]

I always thought that real cobblers like yourself would make the best of shoes which were brilliantly showcased in this video. Excellent work as always and I can see that your lasting skills are getting better as well.

[@billl2431]

Built like a freakin tank. great job Steve!

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

They look pretty comfy. I love my Redwings. He works fast too, thirty five minutes, that would have taken me over an hour.

[@christopherroberts2490]

we need more of this bedo's!

[@rtvc-]

Incredible as always! Looking forward to your projects in 2024.

[@f308gtb1977]

What a fun idea and project! Great video, Steve! (As always.)

[@krenwregget7667]

great project with terrific results.

[@OldspeedMFG]

Well done Steve, there's nothing like walking around in shoes you made. My first pair wasn't nearly as well finished as these!

[@losmarcon]

Very enjoable video, I think it's pretty old one but nevertheless a good one. You are an artist at this shoe "re-making " 😊

[@hectorcortez3888]

Holy shitt, your really takin the whole boots apart, damitt 👌👌

[@solemanbuffalo1622]

Nice Christmas present for yourself! You deserve it.

[@chrischiampo7647]

Hammer Time 😊😀😊 Hope Christmas Was Awesome Steve 😊

[@iorgy]

Bedo's is the best, screw the rest. This was a piece of fine art. God damn, this was a sweet video to watch. Thank You!

[@williamb.northcutt9096]

Fantastic video. Incredible craftsmanship.

[@Motovader72]

Thanks as always for sharing your art and passion Steve!

[@mechminded2207]

I too want to try this at some point in my life, but maybe a simpler design. They look great, and I am so glad you made the matching belt. I do that for the boots I buy.

[@imacmanx8562]

Nice! Love the matching belt, but was disappointed there was no "triggering/knife sharpening" to go along with the ASMR 🤣. Happy New Year Steve.....see ya in '24.

[@Romulus_xxii]

Ottimo capolavoro Maestro! 😘👌🏻 Bellissimi stivaletti, sei un grande artista. 💯💣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂🫡 PS. Bella cintura.

[@jameslowry4299]
