Thanks for all your questions! Let me know and like this comment if you're interested in seeing gym type videos as I work towards my next competing season. cheers!
Personally wouldn’t recommend it. Lack of focus is something that doesn’t do well on UA-cam. If it’s something you want to put it out there though, definitely consider making a second lower effort channel so you can share the journey as you see fit. On a personal note, I’m not very interested in bodybuilding among the fitness channels I do watch. But that’s just me. Data point of one.
If you have a friend who is good at something, and does a job for you, pay them more. Don't ask for a discount. I want my friends to do well and not lose money because of me. Thanks for answering questions. I'm a newer subscriber and learned a lot.
i'm happy to always say yes to friends and family jobs but give them the choice - pay full price or i do it for free. i don't mind which one they choose, i leave it to them to decide.
I used to have a small business as a screen printer. My mark up was general 3-4x the base cost of shirts (to cover labor, ink, etc) For friends looking for a discount, I'd work them to bring the costs down, but never give direct discounts. I'd direct them to buy the blank Ts or hoodies, ask them to help with the design, hell if they wanted it cheaper, help me with the labor of burning the silk screen. I'd basically show them what actually went into the work they were asking me to discount for them. Actual silk screen printing a shirt is trivial, it's all the work that goes into getting to the point of silk screening that's the challenge. I could print 200 shirts an hour when I'm in a rhythm...it takes about half a day from computer screen to burning the screens, to setting up the alignment to start printing. Long story short, I was willing to work down the price if friend's were willing to work with me. if they weren't, I'd say "sorry, can't" or sometimes just buy cheaper shirts, dumb down ("stylize") the design, and give them a discount product. I learned that's not the best way to go, because if I do cheap work, it hurts my reputation.
Super quick 35 minute long video guys! I watch this channel because Dan is likeable chap and does a good job of a profession you don't hear much about these days. Cheers
Really enjoy the Q&A. It is always nice to know the “person” and not just the “UA-camr”. Always will enjoy the shoe repair videos, love watching the process. Keep up the great work Dan, thank you for all you do.
So true that some customers cannot be pleased, and seem to go out of their way to try to ruin your day. Thankfully those people are usually rarer than the decent ones. Makes you quite resilient over time though, which is an amazing life skill to hone. Great work Dan!
The Q&A's are definitely fun. I enjoy them. I started following you and your channel obviously because of the content, but actually getting to know a bit more about "the man behind the curtain," so to speak, is really nice.
The Q&A part 2 about shoes for people with one foot. There is a website where you can privately sell/swap/trade your shoes with others who only one leg. You legit search what size and whether you need left or right. And also relevant style so trainers, dress shoes, brands etc etc. The person buys a pair, then puts the one they don’t need on the website, you show an interest and pay then they send it to you
Agree 100% with the last comment. Dan, your work speaks for itself. Anyone thinking that they should get a discount, can’t possibly see the beauty in the work you perform. Thanks for the great vids.
Since I go out to my local car drag strip to watch local cars and bikes race, I'd love to see a video of you racing the challenger. The shoe repairs came out nicely. Thanks for giving me the permission to take a break from the gym. I really beat myself up over getting burnt out and taking a break.
Thanks for an excellent blog. Yes, I really did enjoy the Q &A format. More please. Don’t do it live, because I find thay are too long winded and chaotic.
It's funny, watching this channel I had a whole new appreciation when we got new horse riding boots for my wife. Noticed the layered leather heels etc. also cool to know they can be mended once they're all worn out. It's a pair of DeNiro Custom boots and honestly was blown away by them.
Hi Dan. A collab with Trenton and Heath would be awesome. However I might need to keep a fire extinguisher handy as three handsome gents together in one video might make my laptop ignite.😉
Hi Dan. I've recently discovered your channel in my search to how to repair boots myself. I wanted only to add a plate to the outer heel that was worn more that normal because of an injury, but at this point I am deep in the You Tube wormhole of Cobbling! That you enjoy your work certainly come through the camera. Thanks so much for showing us your work. I have a question: - What would be your recommendation for a replacement out sole for Bear Paw boots (they look like the UGGS original). There appears to be no mid-sole. It's the upper glued to the soft foamy-rubber-like out sole. Should I glue the new sole to the original or remove it altogether? Thanks so much! Please continue to share your work with us. I appreciate it. :)
“These aren’t for strippers. They’re for the girls down the street that work on these poles…” Yeah bud, those are called strippers. LOL 😂 I’m joking of course! I know they offer exercise classes that use pole dancing and it looks like a crazy hard workout! And very fun looking to!
Daniel Day-Lewis is in fact a cobbler and learned under Stefano Bemer making shoes for almost a year when he went to take some time off to spend it with his wife and child mostly.
Greetings Dan, I always look forward to your videos. Please keep the Q & A segments going they are very informative. On repairing shoes, when you are trimming the sole of the shoe, I would be afraid of scuffing the shoe leather. Do these trimmers have an adjustment so the blade or belt cannot reach into the shoe leather? How many foot pounds of pressure does the presser exert? Would it be possible for you do an in-depth demonstration of the machines and their adjustments? (Not the stitchers, you have demonstrated them in a previous video.)
i like your Q&A. you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders , which definitely shows in your UA-cam product, and its nice to get to see the expanded version of your thoughts.
“Trigger tissue” you and Bedo are awesome! Keep up the humor, it’s refreshing. You said you were trying on the stripper shoes at the end. Pictures please.
My husband doesn’t understand why I love men’s shoes being repaired. I wish I could give a good answer. When I was a little girl, I would sit in a shoe repair shop and watch the cobbler repair shoes. I wish I became a cobbler but at 64, I think my time has passed.
New Dan's tradition besides Getting Sticky and meeting Ron in various moments - handing out Trigger Tissues ! That moment where you paint the edge of the new sole is always an anxiety generator. You never know if it won't go out of the way and onto the shoe itself. Keeping fingers crossed on the house transaction and moving in ! Too bad to hear George is not much of a help ;)
In response to you influencing people’s lives.. I’m a cobbler in New Orleans, Louisiana and I’ve inherited a shoe shop not very long ago with only about a years worth of apprenticeship… Safe to say it is and has been very tough for me to keep this business going by myself, and I would have to say if it weren’t for your in depth videos here on UA-cam I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence or the knowledge to keep this place going. Still running into new issues every single day, but trying my best and setting good expectations with the customers! If your ever around or planning a trip to my city, I’m at Joe’s Cobbler Workbench and would feel honored to meet you and show you around!
Great Q&A, nice repairs, albeit neither a challenge to your remarkable skills. I would like to see a video about your Challenger Hellcat. You did one before but I think you can show us even more. I have a 2015 Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi so seeing something about what it is like to own a hellcat in merry old England would be a fun experience. Love your work.
With your Challenger and American Football And Cowboy boots, I get the idea you like American things. Cool. Also by the fact you wear your watch on the right wrist you may be a lefty like me! By the way trolls can eat my shorts. 🤣
Fair play mate, run my own business also, can relate with alot of what you said. It will all pay off in the end. Have absolutely no idea how I have started watching shoe repairs by the way... must be doing something right
Oh BOY!! Gonna watch Dan work over his Rave platforms.....lol.......just kidding. But Ron has tweeted that to the world Dan. I think he's your mole! Gonna watch this one when I get home from work. Thanks for that. J
Nice work I wanted to ask about where to buy the Casalli red mirror soles or order them on line Thanks I would really appreciate it Rick in los Angeles
Hi Dan, first of all happy to hear your business is flourishing well! Just wanted to say thank you on educating us more about shoe TLC, just about a month ago I order a shoe care kit from you online shop and I must say that even cheap Clark’s are looking fancy now! Thank you for introducing me to a great quality Sapphire products! And love your channel, very positive and relaxing to watch with same warm socks and cup of tea! Best wishes from Edinburgh! 😊
I have a question! To you or anyone here :). Is there a a way to make a pair of boots/shoes more silent? I have a pair with a Dainite sole that are very loud, not sure if it's because the vast majority of pressure from my step is put on the heel .
Hiya Dan. Thank you so much. Ordered my candle early hours of Saturday morning and can't believe it's arrived so quickly (Monday). Can't wait to light it up and see what it smells like. Excellent customer service. Xx
Mate, you are becoming very fluent and professional in your presenting. I think you would be a good presenter on mainstream tv. Keep up the great work Dan. Thoroughly enjoy your channel. 👍
Even worse that the watch battery... At Radio Shack we had people come in with Glucose Meters... Covered in blood, looking for us to change the battery.
I worked in a plumbing shop and people would often bring in broken toilet seats, looking for a replacement, often unwashed and they would just drop them on our desk.
I worked for a while as a optical technician cutting lenses and making and repairing glases. The state of some of the frames brought in for repair were horendouse. We used to have what we called frame cheese a mix of dandruff and skin particles and sweat and grease!!
I like what you said Dan about how you're feeling energy wise when it comes to working out. The human body has it's limits and if it's not feeling up for pushing weights there's no reason at all to make yourself do it just cause of peer pressure from friends or acquaintances. You can easily hurt yourself badly by overly exerting your body past it's limits.
I know exactly what you mean when you say someone being vague about what they want, I asked a friend of my hubby and I want meat he wanted to eat for boxing day he said whatever so I said well we have beef or chicken he said YES, and after 3 attempts of not getting a proper answer I threatened to beat him with a copper bottomed frying pan unless he said which he wanted 😂, turned out he wanted both which he could have just said both instead of beating around the bush and getting me to the point of almost utensil manslaughter 😂 love watching the shoe repairs thank you x
Hey Buddy!! Did you hear about the two Injured Vietnam Veteran's that used to meet up every 3-5 years?? One had his left leg blown off and the other had his right leg blown off During the the War!! So every 3-5 years they would meet up and get a New (Pair of shoes) "shoe each"!! And Yes they had the same Size Foot and was In the same Regiment!! They knew each other. TRUE.
Big shoutout from Wynand ( big fan ) Johannesburg South africa . I love your q&a sesions , very entertaining , insightful , and inspirational . When your dad said you'r not becoming a rockstar ; wellyou rock anyway ,great watching your show . ( keep well , well into the future .) Yours sincerely .
I'm from London ontario Canada. Population about 400k. Complete with a piccadilly street, Hyde Park village, Thames River and more. Find your channel interesting and enjoyable. Have to love a hemi. Went through 8 tires in 1 yr when I first got mine and I'm an old guy. Lol!
Love the channel I honestly never thought I’d enjoy watching shoe repair vids, but the before and after is very satisfying and quite therapeutic. I’d love to know what the story is the tattoo on your right bicep Partial removal?
Another great vid. I would be interested in seeing the gym vids for sure especially if you are competing. Would be interesting to watch your process through to competition and see you compete as well.
IM TRIGGERED lol joking. The customer wanted his soles fixed so fixed they shall be! Louis Vuitton should use those rubber soles in the first place imo, considering how much they charge for them they should last longer
I thought trying was some Hong Kong guy that got you into cobbling? You also say “as always I’m Dan”. Are you always Dan? I wish people I knew didn’t call me a wanker mostly.
The UA-cam algorithm added you to my watch list. Loving your videos! I’ve seen a video where you made the car key, a workout video and many shoe repairs. What else do you do in your shop? Also, do you do all of the work yourself or do you have more staff? I know you Mum helps out on occasion. That’s a great idea; walking around showing us Tring and the shops and sites.
Hi, I have a pair of Barbour brougues which I love. Been cobbled a few times. Double soled. Half moon steel. On the heel. Unfortunately one of the upper has came away from the heel. Could you repair them properly??
You do not wear masks during sanding. Why? That would be a question you can field some day. You always do great work and the things you place on that instrument that you can move around. It gives you the freedom of being where you want to be while hammering the shoes. Good job
I thought you switched the name to Dan the Cobbler. Did you change back? Enjoyed the Q & A but like the cobbling better. Either way I'll keep watching.
All these fancy bottom soles, for something that no one, especially not the owner, will ever see. It's basically a gimmick to get people to come back and spend more money after the slightest wear and tear. But I suppose the people buying these shoes aren't doing anything but getting in and out of a car as the door is opened for them by their driver, where they then walk on the backs of people as they make their way to a carpeted interior. You couldn't even walk down the street to get a coffee in these shoes without worrying about scuffs.
Thanks for all your questions! Let me know and like this comment if you're interested in seeing gym type videos as I work towards my next competing season. cheers!
Welcome back 😊😊 we’ve missed you
Do it!!!
Absolutely! It’s always great to see people work towards their goals.
I'd like to see some as I'm about to join a gym and would be great to see what I could achieve if I worked at it and focused long term.
Personally wouldn’t recommend it. Lack of focus is something that doesn’t do well on UA-cam. If it’s something you want to put it out there though, definitely consider making a second lower effort channel so you can share the journey as you see fit.
On a personal note, I’m not very interested in bodybuilding among the fitness channels I do watch. But that’s just me. Data point of one.

So some folk expect cheaper mates rates.
Maybe you should pay more because there your mate.
The mate thing works both ways.
i'm happy to always say yes to friends and family jobs but give them the choice - pay full price or i do it for free. i don't mind which one they choose, i leave it to them to decide.

I learned that's not the best way to go, because if I do cheap work, it hurts my reputation.
I think the key is don't ask. If they want to shave off a little profit to help you out, they will. Asking just makes you both uncomfertable.
Ikr? If they flat out refuse to charge me more that’s one thing but I’m not going to cheat my friends
Super quick 35 minute long video guys! I watch this channel because Dan is likeable chap and does a good job of a profession you don't hear much about these days. Cheers

That discipline thing really hits hard. I needed to hear that so thanks for all the advice (and for sharing the parts you enjoy as well)
Love the channel. Thanks for picking my question. There’s an such a gratitude working with your hands and sharing your passion with others. Cheers!
Loved your q/a, always happy to see your video’s.
I’m glad you’re doing well! Keep up the good work, forget the haters.
Love the video, thank you!
Thanks for an excellent blog. Yes, I really did enjoy the Q &A format. More please. Don’t do it live, because I find thay are too long winded and chaotic.

Nothing more then respect for u mate,great channel and a great personality
Finally!!!! I’ve been jonesing for more Tring Shoe Repair content!
His joke powers will only increase when he becomes a dad.
What I would give, to have a successful shop like yours Dan, just working away by myself, making cool stuff for people.
i wanna thank the big guy for bringing back the music
Hi Dan. A collab with Trenton and Heath would be awesome. However I might need to keep a fire extinguisher handy as three handsome gents together in one video might make my laptop ignite.😉

Always wondered about this Art/Craft and from what I saw... "Pay the Man the Money"

Yes to Gym type video's Dan. Love all of your Vids.
Trolling.... Very bad. I DJ at weekend's and someone started tellingpeople I just play what I want, so now I get no local work. Trolling I hate it!
“Trigger tissue” you and Bedo are awesome! Keep up the humor, it’s refreshing. You said you were trying on the stripper shoes at the end. Pictures please.
I wish I still lived in the UK, so I could come to the shop and have some fun making custom projects :) Awesome and addictive e to watch
My husband doesn’t understand why I love men’s shoes being repaired. I wish I could give a good answer. When I was a little girl, I would sit in a shoe repair shop and watch the cobbler repair shoes. I wish I became a cobbler but at 64, I think my time has passed.
My guy is back!!!!
Definitely enjoyed the Q&A and how it was mixed in with some repairs.
Enjoyed the Q&A and positive attitude. Life's too short to pay attention to the haters. Congratulations on the house buy!
I always appreciate your honesty and openness Dan. Keep on cobblin'!
For inspiration on Mexico have you seen Itchy boots channel "The biggest time telling device on Earth - in Mexico 🇲🇽 |S6-E85"?

Everyone knows a good sticky requires great music!
Great Q&A, nice repairs, albeit neither a challenge to your remarkable skills. I would like to see a video about your Challenger Hellcat. You did one before but I think you can show us even more. I have a 2015 Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi so seeing something about what it is like to own a hellcat in merry old England would be a fun experience. Love your work.
Your work is impeccable my lad!!!
“If you have a triggered issue, here is a triggered tissue” 😂😂😂
With your Challenger and American Football And Cowboy boots, I get the idea you like American things. Cool. Also by the fact you wear your watch on the right wrist you may be a lefty like me! By the way trolls can eat my shorts. 🤣
omg, my mom was a cobbler i need one of those candles it'll remind me of being a kid
Your mom is awesome. Wish I followed that passion.
Hi Dan, love the Q and A’s please keep them going xx
Fair play mate, run my own business also, can relate with alot of what you said. It will all pay off in the end. Have absolutely no idea how I have started watching shoe repairs by the way... must be doing something right
I bet you are going to receive quite a few pairs of cowboy boots soon in the mail.. Can't wait to see you show them off.. ;-)
Thanks for answering my question Dan!
The commentators briefly mentioned about your dads car!
Thanks, I really enjoy the Q&A spot.
have you ever break one shoe and need to repay/compensate to your clients?
Oh BOY!! Gonna watch Dan work over his Rave platforms.....lol.......just kidding. But Ron has tweeted that to the world Dan. I think he's your mole! Gonna watch this one when I get home from work. Thanks for that. J
Nice work
I wanted to ask about where to buy the Casalli red mirror soles or order them on line
Thanks I would really appreciate it
Rick in los Angeles
How don’t your scratch the sides of the shoes when trimming the underside with a box cutter 😨 you do it with such finessé
Hi Dan, first of all happy to hear your business is flourishing well! Just wanted to say thank you on educating us more about shoe TLC, just about a month ago I order a shoe care kit from you online shop and I must say that even cheap Clark’s are looking fancy now! Thank you for introducing me to a great quality Sapphire products! And love your channel, very positive and relaxing to watch with same warm socks and cup of tea! Best wishes from Edinburgh! 😊
Love to see more videos in the vlog style. May it be bodybuilding or anything else.
been a hot minute since ive seen a video from dan
Man why so few new videos ??? I find your videos relaxing. I watch them while trying to wind down before bedtime.
I’m really just doing lots more than just making videos! It’s hard to find time to make them :)
I have a question! To you or anyone here :). Is there a a way to make a pair of boots/shoes more silent?
I have a pair with a Dainite sole that are very loud, not sure if it's because the vast majority of pressure from my step is put on the heel .
Send them to Dan, he’ll fix it for you.
Yes dont wear them
Hiya Dan. Thank you so much. Ordered my candle early hours of Saturday morning and can't believe it's arrived so quickly (Monday). Can't wait to light it up and see what it smells like. Excellent customer service. Xx
Well said with dealing with trolls and haters. I love your positivity, keep it up and more success with your endeavors
Love the trigger tissue joke!
Mate, you are becoming very fluent and professional in your presenting. I think you would be a good presenter on mainstream tv. Keep up the great work Dan. Thoroughly enjoy your channel. 👍
Yes,❤ the Chanel, you are a great cobbler keep spreading the love.
Love the trigger tissue joke!
Even worse that the watch battery... At Radio Shack we had people come in with Glucose Meters... Covered in blood, looking for us to change the battery.
I worked in a plumbing shop and people would often bring in broken toilet seats, looking for a replacement, often unwashed and they would just drop them on our desk.
@@SerenityChaos1975 yep, that's worse than watches or glucose meters lol
I worked for a while as a optical technician cutting lenses and making and repairing glases.
The state of some of the frames brought in for repair were horendouse.
We used to have what we called frame cheese a mix of dandruff and skin particles and sweat and grease!!
Love the Q&As and the vlog style videos. Keep up the great work. You are brilliant. Yes, gym stuff!
I like what you said Dan about how you're feeling energy wise when it comes to working out. The human body has it's limits and if it's not feeling up for pushing weights there's no reason at all to make yourself do it just cause of peer pressure from friends or acquaintances. You can easily hurt yourself badly by overly exerting your body past it's limits.
Have you ever toasted any thing in the heat lamp
Your clients are certainly well heeled.
If you get the chance to go to Mexico, that's a great place to get a good pair of Western boots.👍
I know exactly what you mean when you say someone being vague about what they want, I asked a friend of my hubby and I want meat he wanted to eat for boxing day he said whatever so I said well we have beef or chicken he said YES, and after 3 attempts of not getting a proper answer I threatened to beat him with a copper bottomed frying pan unless he said which he wanted 😂, turned out he wanted both which he could have just said both instead of beating around the bush and getting me to the point of almost utensil manslaughter 😂 love watching the shoe repairs thank you x
Hey Buddy!! Did you hear about the two Injured Vietnam Veteran's that used to meet up every 3-5 years?? One had his left leg blown off and the other had his right leg blown off During the the War!! So every 3-5 years they would meet up and get a New (Pair of shoes) "shoe each"!! And Yes they had the same Size Foot and was In the same Regiment!! They knew each other. TRUE.
Big shoutout from Wynand ( big fan ) Johannesburg South africa . I love your q&a sesions , very entertaining , insightful , and inspirational . When your dad said you'r not becoming a rockstar ; wellyou rock anyway ,great watching your show . ( keep well , well into the future .)
Yours sincerely .
love Q&A!! love it alll!!
I'm from London ontario Canada. Population about 400k. Complete with a piccadilly street, Hyde Park village, Thames River and more. Find your channel interesting and enjoyable. Have to love a hemi. Went through 8 tires in 1 yr when I first got mine and I'm an old guy. Lol!
Love the channel
I honestly never thought I’d enjoy watching shoe repair vids, but the before and after is very satisfying and quite therapeutic.
I’d love to know what the story is the tattoo on your right bicep
Partial removal?
I have several pairs of cowboy boots that need some tlc, but shipping them from Norway to England would probably cost a fortune! 😰
Another great vid. I would be interested in seeing the gym vids for sure especially if you are competing. Would be interesting to watch your process through to competition and see you compete as well.
Hey you did not walk in them stripper boots like you said on your video
😂😂😂
IM TRIGGERED lol joking. The customer wanted his soles fixed so fixed they shall be! Louis Vuitton should use those rubber soles in the first place imo, considering how much they charge for them they should last longer
I think QAs are definitely awesome, and definitely looking forward to see future stuff of all the ideas you mentioned!
I thought trying was some Hong Kong guy that got you into cobbling? You also say “as always I’m Dan”. Are you always Dan? I wish people I knew didn’t call me a wanker mostly.

Hi, I have a pair of Barbour brougues which I love. Been cobbled a few times. Double soled. Half moon steel. On the heel. Unfortunately one of the upper has came away from the heel. Could you repair them properly??
You do not wear masks during sanding. Why?
That would be a question you can field some day. You always do great work and the things you place on that instrument that you can move around. It gives you the freedom of being where you want to be while hammering the shoes.
Good job
12:18 - My whole life I always heard the quote in regards to bullys "Hurt people hurt people". That sounds like what you're saying too
I thought you switched the name to Dan the Cobbler. Did you change back? Enjoyed the Q & A but like the cobbling better. Either way I'll keep watching.
About time you did another video. These boots are made for walking😉
Enjoyed the episode. Q&A very interesting.
God this man is perfect
wonderful Dan. thank you
Schöne,qualitative Schue kosten Geld,und solche Schue zu reparieren ist ein lohnenswerte Aufgabe !
Can I send you some U.S. Army Combat Boots. You should have an interesting time with them. They have a weird heel construct.
You should have worn the boots maybe we can get a video of you going to one of the classes
Love your dad's video. Cool stuff. But maybe you could buy him a cam with more than 240p, please? 😉
All these fancy bottom soles, for something that no one, especially not the owner, will ever see. It's basically a gimmick to get people to come back and spend more money after the slightest wear and tear. But I suppose the people buying these shoes aren't doing anything but getting in and out of a car as the door is opened for them by their driver, where they then walk on the backs of people as they make their way to a carpeted interior. You couldn't even walk down the street to get a coffee in these shoes without worrying about scuffs.
