Walrus leather Dr Bag from 1900s Restoration
This bag was revived to give it life again after many years of neglect. It was found in a Thrift store in Portland, Oregon. It was totally flattened and dried out so that it would not flex anymore without tearing. It was more like cardboard than leather. It will be a gift to its new owner to celebrate a new journey in the appropriate field.

Master craftsman ,lovely work ,so interesting to see it in action .❤
Gran trabajo !!!!👏 👜🇪🇸
Hermosa restauración quedó de 10
it was a pleasure watching this good job sir
Olive oil will go stale n smell bad. Dont use food oil on bags.
Very nice work. The bag looks great.
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.
You work is amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks exactly like elephant skin.
Very much enjoyed watching your restoration of the bag. I hope you do more. I am curious how long it took you to do it?
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.
Steve, from Bedos leather could’ve really done this bag justice and restored it properly.
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?
So interesting, however, your music kept putting me to sleep.
love the music - what is it please - please give credit to it - thanks (love the video and the result)
What kind of oil did you use?
Wondering who uses it now.... i got collection also from thrift shop here in dubai
This is your only restoration video! Please do more asap!
Lovely to watch. Top work!
Your talent, skill and craftsmanship is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing!
How much would a job like this cost?
Olive oil is going to smell rancid soon. Consider using mink oil or mineral oil.
Also, thank you for restoring such a beautiful bag! Great work!
What a more than great job you, ve done on that Dr, s bag. Guess what, im the Dr that owns the medicial bag... Ha Ha ha. 😊👍🙌
Vielen Dank allen Mitarbeitern an Kompetenz Arbeitsplätzen Zufrieden haben bitteschön

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

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.
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.
soda neutralists acid how would that help to weaken the acid,100% not what you want to happen .
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.
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 UA-cam who do like tools and old equipment. @@jmm242
Nonsense, baking soda will neutralize the vinegar and turn it into plain water
МАСТЕР-ЗОЛОТЫЕ РУКИ)))))👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
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.
ànd also punch extra holes to weaken the leather..
Fantastic!
Wow, amazing job....
Thank you! Cheers!
What oil did you use?
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.
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
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.
@@brittroge09 *Agreed. I learned this from other leather UA-camrs. The more holes, the more tearing and wearing down of the leather.*
Awesome work - really impressive.
Labor intensive but wonderfully done!
Hi, thank you for the video, I would like to know if possble, are this walls structural, or do they need external or internal columns to suport the roof structure? Cheers!
The Walls are structural. A Roofing band of wood was put In place to support the roof. Wood supports were also put in over the doors and windows to support the weight and redistribute the load.
Nice construction
Thank You. This is the Work of Samaritans Purse. New Design. First Design of its Kind.
Good day. Very nice construction method and material. May I ask, where is that project located? Thank you very much.
I think Nepal
Many Apologies. I don't look here often. This was in Nepal in the District of Gorkha after the earthquake of 2015 which destroyed 100,000+ homes. This was our Gabion Design that reduced construction materials to be flown in by Helicopter.
Very cool.
