Master craftsman ,lovely work ,so interesting to see it in action .❤

Nice job, I was constantly afraid it could fall apart, but it came up really nicely! I use ricine oil in cases like, it's much thicker and protects leather beautifully. By no means a pro, just came to my mind when watching.

[@user-fb3pu3qx3t]

Lovely to watch. Top work!

[@felonebike9859]

What kind of oil did you use?

[@dclaet1135]

Very nicely done! An un-threaded old Singer with a needle meant for leather,set on wide stitch, will give you nice, straight holes for hand sewing.

[@gekkehansie]

ànd also punch extra holes to weaken the leather..

[@melodymoshkowski5266]

Awesome work - really impressive.

Amazing, well done

[@ITrashMeister]

Beautiful leather. But so sad from the not straight stitch work. Next time please use a draw straight line then do your holes and stitch. Futher cool project! Good job

[@brittroge09]

Looks like he just followed the previous holes. You don’t want to add new holes in the same area. It will weaken the leather.

[@JinsKookieJams]

​@@brittroge09 *Agreed. I learned this from other leather KZbinrs. The more holes, the more tearing and wearing down of the leather.*

Hermosa restauración quedó de 10

[@baberoot1998]

Walrus leather...appears to me, to be much like the texture of elephant leather. I know elephant to be fairly sturdy. I wonder if walrus leather is of the same quality. Nice restoration. You get a "like", and a new subscriber.

Amazing job, Well done bravo, I just received a gift, a briefcase, same material and for what I see it could be from the same brand, I will like to know if you can restore this piece of luggage for me?

[@susanjackson2459]

I have my father's 1950's black leather Dr's bag, What product do you suggest I use to restore the outside. The interior is slightly mildewed. Thank you.

[@joanobrien7754]

Wow, amazing job....

[@jmm242]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@king7macqueen]

Wondering who uses it now.... i got collection also from thrift shop here in dubai

[@connorneville5420]

How much would a job like this cost?

[@iarasantos4424]

👏🏽 Parabéns

[@angelicam-y3564]

Anice job but what a pity that the initials on the bag was not there at the end.

[@patriciahatton8292]

I agree and the stitching not so straight!!

[@薔薇-t3w]

どても上手です、素晴らしい🎉❤

[@joanobrien7754]

What oil did you use?

[@jmoshkowski]

It was originally hard as cardboard. I used olive oil spring it back to life. I would recommend leaving it sit for a few days afterwards to allow the oil to penetrate and equalize. It is easy to over saturate so work slowly. You may need to wash out the excess oil afterwards it depends on how dry the leather is. If it still has some flex I would start with Mink oil or Neatsfoot Oil.

[@mrsred2u668]

Steve, from Bedos leather could’ve really done this bag justice and restored it properly.

[@SS-zm3vi]

Looks exactly like elephant skin.

[@susanvanduyn2811]

So interesting, however, your music kept putting me to sleep.

[@judis.1810]

When you put the metal parts in the distilled vinegar, u should have added a little bit of baking soda to it too. Then the parts would have gotten a bit cleaner.

[@nowayjerk8064]

soda neutralists acid how would that help to weaken the acid,100% not what you want to happen .

[@jmm242]

The vinegar actually eats the rust very well but the parts had an old metal treatment called japanning on them. It is extremely resistant to abrasion and resists moisture. It was hard to tell originally but becuse it was gummed up but after I had no change over night I realized something else was on the metal. I tried everything to get it off so I had to eventually use physical methods.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

If u want something a little better then vinegar and u can use it over and over again for a while is Evaporust. That stuff is amazing and eats rust off like nothing a lot industrial guys use it and fabricators. Also a few big restoration guys on KZbin who do like tools and old equipment. @@jmm242

[@RemyNiemand]

Nonsense, baking soda will neutralize the vinegar and turn it into plain water

[@karinphua9415]

Olive oil will go stale n smell bad. Dont use food oil on bags.
