R soles 😄 but there was a shop in Brighton in the 90s in the imperial arcade called R soles and all they sold were cow boy boots and did indeed purchase a pair from them.Ah memories
Dan!!!!! My boots made it into a video!! Dunno why but me and the missus just got so excited seeing that, how sad are we!! Thanks again for the brilliant job you did, highly recommended!
It'll live. I dont think any damage is going to be caused from the nut pressing on the wheel too tightly, or the wheel pressing on the back of the bar too tightly. If anything the wheel might have an indent in it at the end of it's life span; luckily, they're disposable anyway.
If by "chadness" you mean "successful business owner", then yes. Dude's a *beast*. I'd give him my custom if I lived nearby. He's exactly what I want in my local business. Quality, persistence, and a reasonable price.
Hey Dan, I just wanted to say you’re amazing. I suffer with anxiety and depersonalisation and your videos along with the music really help and make me more relaxed. Keep doing what your doing!
It never ceases to amaze me how complex shoe construction can be - even with today's shoes. Also, It seems the art hasn't changed that much in the last few centuries. Somewhere, floating around on the net, is a picture of a pair of shoes in some museum that once belonged to some Pope or some senior official of the church. They are amazingly well preserved so you can actually see how very well they were constructed and how beautiful they must have been when new. I frankly didn't believe they were as old as they were stated to be. Something like 500 years or some such. Amazing. I love craft.
I was very interested in seeing how the motocross boots were done. Wow an hour to remove the rubber is crazy. On a side note, I tend to be fascinated by what other phone ringers sound like in other countries. Great video Dan!
I have the solution to your stubborn rubber sole removing problem!!! You need a tire grooving iron! They are used in the repair of truck tires and the modification of tires for various types of racing. Such an iron would take that sole off in just a few minutes.
Hope you don't mind me saying, I love your videos. BUT the music is a tad loud, and isn't pleasent when switching from your voice to the music :) Just a bit of constructive feedback! Keep up the good work.
It's a great day when we get an update from Dan! Ron got a little sassy in this vid. This is really an awesome cobbler. Thanks for sharing your life with us. J
Gaerne sg12’s are the top of the line riding boots. $550 boot there. Very durable, protective and stylish at the same time. I race xc quads and let me tell you it’s not fun slipping off a peg and having your foot caught between your nerf bar and rear wheel. Your whole back of your leg gets skinned up pretty bad. That’s nothing for these boots. Plus the boots are so strong you don’t end up twisting your ankle either. Been there done that not fun. Kicking a bike over with them is night and day too.
You need something other than Facebook. It's like only catering to people who use Vodaphone, or only people who drive Renault. Perhaps a proper business email, for those of us who have feet and shoes that need repairs but aren't social media zombies.
Watching this video (and others in the channel) I keep thinking "oh, so that's how they do that". It's fascinating to see how things work and how they're made, especially when it's such an essential thing that we all rely on almost every day yet typically take completely for granted without a moment's consideration.
believe it or not dying or not out here in America you don't find that many shoemakers anymore I should go to all the time to get my shoes done and my belts keep up the good work man it's great to see a guy that knows what he's doing with shoes 👍👍
I grew up in a small town in south Texas that had five custom boot shops. These cobblers were artisans, and their incredible designs would leave me astounded. Many of their patrons were international personages. It's reassuring to see cobblers such as Ron plying their skills.
I always get nervous that glue is gonna go flying onto the other shoe that's always nearby lol. I need to get a life so I dont worry about things like this
My dad was stationed at RAF Woodbridge from 1976 to 1978. One of the girls I went to school with on the base now lives in Tring these some 40+ years later. I have asked her through FB if she had ever been to your shop. She had not but she does know where your shop is and drives by it quite often. So, if you ever have to wonder why an American like me is interested in your videos other than the fact that you are entertaining and I enjoy your presentation - now you know. Keep up the good work...
Not trying to put you out of work but did this ever hear about supper or gorilla glue. It might make you cry but i have a pair of cow boy boots and shoes from 2015 and still use them it has probably 3 bottle of supper glue in it. Here in Texas or at my part that hi end people world call white trash and I don't know many people that don't have supper glue on them. NOT for heavy use. Don't know if you have this product in your country.
How often do you get requests to copy "back door" keys? I mean, here in America, i don't see many of those keys used anymore. I worked in the hardware departments of both Sears and Walmart and I've never cut a key like that (and i don't think we have a machine that can). So is it quite common to copy them? I only know of them as skeleton keys.
Hi from Vancouver, B.C., Canada...cool collage clip Dan! I liked seeing you changing the belt for the sander but would like to see more of the workings of the machine, especially how it's dust collection system works. Keep up the great vids! Cheers, Rick
Great craftsmanship & humour as always. 👍🏼❤️ Super Bowl ??? Watching flabby wussies trying to play rugby ain't really my cup of char.. 😂 Oh.....& please keep that duck under control, his language was unacceptable. 😊
Just discovered this channel. It’s nice to see someone making an honest living , with high quality craftsmanship. I wish you the best in all your endeavors.
Hertfordshire based UK Ravens fan myself! I felt bad for you at the end of the video because you seemed so excited for the Super Bowl :P Watching as a neutral I felt it was ruined by the referees, so I stopped watching at the end of the first half. Most first half penalty yards and first half penalties resulting in 1st downs in Super Bowl history, smh. Hopefully we can give Lamar some weapons and it'll be us in the SB next year. Cheers :)
Another great video from the main man himself.. A lot of good content and humour too. Keep up the good work as always. (hope the washer got refitted) :P
Loving seeing a day in the life of a fellow handiworker! It really is tough work, even with all our specialized machines and tools. Very jealous of your gorgeous post-arm walking foot machines for the zippers.
WOW! I was sad that my OLD ASS pair of Johnson and Murphy, wing tips were heading for the hopper, and I know, "they are not what they used to be...". But thanks to you, I will defiantly seek out a cobbler, to save them. Thank you! Unfortunately, we live in a disposable world...
Dan Watson, sir, Good day to you there in the UK 🇬🇧! I’ve looked EVERYWHERE for an email address to ask you questions! I cannot find one!! Do you not post one??? I prefer an email, personally over this public forum!! Happy Thursday, Captain Greatness 🏆👑🇬🇧☮️🎥 🥾Cheerio, Phillip
I wouldn't mind having a little shop like that. Would be interested to see some of the daily stresses or frustrations. If there are any. Just to be completely transparent.
Im pretty sure people come here not to learn how to repair shoes but to watch this handsome fella hammering shoes and I think he is the hottest cobbler in youtubelandia. Can you do a video of how to take care of your leather shoes next time please mister cobbler?
Just subscribed this month but cant stop watching these videos, who knew that shoe repairing could be so interesting, great craftsmanship done to a high standard great work Dan 🔥🔥
I think these kind of random job episodes could be an occasional thing like an addition to the usual episodes ? haha cool vid btw cheers
Actually could be couple times a week gets old seeing the same jobs over and over.

R soles 😄 but there was a shop in Brighton in the 90s in the imperial arcade called R soles and all they sold were cow boy boots and did indeed purchase a pair from them.Ah memories
I enjoy how the video goes from quiet casual singing to BANGBANGBANGBANG
Thanks for pronouncing Vibram properly! cheers
Great video broski
Dan is running a business ladies and gents. Not a charity.
Legend has it, that washer is still sitting there to this day.
I caught that too. The key machine is one washer lighter than it should be... :)
Checkmate 🎖
we need more likes so he would notice the comment
yup, I'd say he is a much better cobbler than blacksmith/machine maintenance kinda guy
If you don't have extra parts when you are finished, you haven't fixed it enough... Fix it till you break it, I always say.
Dan!!!!! My boots made it into a video!! Dunno why but me and the missus just got so excited seeing that, how sad are we!!
Thanks again for the brilliant job you did, highly recommended!
My pleasure my friend haha!
Nothing sad about that my man. It would be an honor to be featured.
@@TheNunakun it is, will be taking more boots to Dan that’s for sure!
Dan ya sexy man, good job
Witch boots were yours ?
R Soles. Interesting name. **cheeky smirk** 8:56
For the American viewers. You say Ass, we say Arse. Hope that makes sense to you now... 😂
I used to walk past the R Soles shop in Chelsea regularly. I’ve never seen any of their boots in the wild before.
What a bunch of R-soles eh? lol
When you changed the wirewheel you forgot to put back one of the washers.
It'll live. I dont think any damage is going to be caused from the nut pressing on the wheel too tightly, or the wheel pressing on the back of the bar too tightly. If anything the wheel might have an indent in it at the end of it's life span; luckily, they're disposable anyway.
Famous last words “it’ll live” lol

Hey Dan, I just wanted to say you’re amazing. I suffer with anxiety and depersonalisation and your videos along with the music really help and make me more relaxed. Keep doing what your doing!
I get anxious too, this is calming! But I thought I'd crack one... I got anxious pronouncing dep, depresation...... nevermind.
Appreciate it man and you’re very welcome.
Your voice is wow 😁😁
Its quite memorizing watching the artistry in the craft. really great skill
Gonna get me a pair of those Pirate Slippers if its the last thing I do.
Saludos desde México,, excelentes videos

You really need to replace that Lock Washer! @ 16-30 how does that Side Cutter work? Maybe a vid on all the machinery.

R. Soles!! 🤣 I’m dead 💀
George is pretty cool, we need a better look at him.
I'm feeling that leather jacket. Where's it from?
Interesting stuff. I'd say there's a place for both this type of video and the ones that focus solely on a single big job.
This style with all the different jobs is a great addition! God bless
R Soles! Hahahaha! I also spotted a lighter, has Ron been smoking?
he uses it yo burn some remaining thread on the stitching

Most of today's shoes are made to be trashed in a year, not fixed.
What a waste.

It's crazy how much work goes in the background, people only see the surface they don't know what's going on behind the scenes, I totally get it!
Literally my new favorite thing about UA-cam
This was an absolute boon of a video for info drops. Such a capable craftsman and with a gift for teaching makes this channel invaluable!
"And of course, we need to get glue on our unit!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Lol 😂
@@Dan_the_cobbler You really need to add a "That's what she said" sound clip/effect every time you say a double entendre!
I love watching you repair shoes. I have learned a lot
you forgot to put that ring back on the grinder at 14:52 its just below it

Yea I think it’s good stuff actually.
I have an idea for the next video.
Dan's best mates reading the thirst comments to him.

And i haven't watched the specific video yet but how much experience do you have in watch repair? That must be tedious.
you know when you know someone is just a decent human :)
Do you do Chinese leather (cheap)made shoes?
This was a great video. One of your best.
Last time I was this early, Dan was repairing killer bots.
Bits and bobs.... excellent content, cheers!
What make glue do you use? Is boterm gta any good?
I was was watching a Red Dead Redemption 2 video how did I end up here.....oh cowboy boots....wow UA-cam algorithm lol.
I couldn’t imagine having to smell some of these people shoes all day long! If I gave him my slippers, he’d probably throw them back at me 😂
Get a lower grade sanding papers for ya belt sander
Ron! What a pal.
im straight dude, this dude is pretty hot lol.
You need a cross bike... This will give you more fun while grinding away the customers soles
R Soles 😂
Awesome video and awesome leather jacket
for gods sake, why wearing earrings ?????
Are cowboy boots common in the UK?
So the glue basically works like contact cement!!!
Yep it is contact cement really!
@@Dan_the_cobbler I've used it on Mica counter tops!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
“..as always I’m Dan..” I didn’t expect you to change you name from episode to another so obviously you’re Dan 👍🏼😂❤️
oddly enough kinda liked the video quite a bit
Congrats on the shop and the channels success bro. Hope you succeed brother.
His accent and the timber of his voice reminds me of Henry Cavill.

Super Bowl ??? Watching flabby wussies trying to play rugby ain't really my cup of char.. 😂
Oh.....& please keep that duck under control, his language was unacceptable. 😊
I hope this fine man becomes world leader so he can fix all our problems while singing cute tunes.
Just discovered this channel. It’s nice to see someone making an honest living , with high quality craftsmanship.
I wish you the best in all your endeavors.
Don’t ever change the intro lol
How many reguards there😂
Ahhhhh the jokes! 😃 Who knew shoe repairs could be so much fun. Bingeing all your videos Dan. Thanks for all your work 🤗
Appreciate it haha

I really enjoyed this video. Interesting to see all the different types of repairs you do. 😊
What shoes do you wear Dan 🧐
Obviously they don't dance in ( Texas 2 step, or 3 step) those cowboy boots. Leather is the best sole for the wooden dance floors in Texas
This multi job is great
Please tell us you reattached the locking washer on the wire brush wheel.
Yep!
From one cobbler to another, respect mate 💪
Recently found your channel and loving the vids 👌 You're a real craft man
Appreciate it thanks man
You should live stream
Hi 👋 I wonder how to make my timberland & caterpillar shoes looks new again? 🤔🤔 🙏 Thank you! Anyways I learned how to fix my other shoes 👍🏼😂😂
i like that you sing randomly while you work
My cobbler wouldn't take on fixing my moto cross boots. Not much of a cobbler? He's and 85 year old German
Another great video from the main man himself.. A lot of good content and humour too. Keep up the good work as always. (hope the washer got refitted) :P
Oo is that a bruise on your right arm?
He's getting a tat removed.
Yep getting laser removal it’s been that way for 2 years now 🤣 it’s going to be something cool soon
A proper Cobbler! I like it
Really enjoyed this style of video. Getting to see a more day to day running of the business. Great work Dan .keep erm coming
Loving seeing a day in the life of a fellow handiworker! It really is tough work, even with all our specialized machines and tools. Very jealous of your gorgeous post-arm walking foot machines for the zippers.
Well Dan how's things? Do you buy new shoes or keep repairing your old comfy ones? Very cool video as always
WOW! I was sad that my OLD ASS pair of Johnson and Murphy, wing tips were heading for the hopper, and I know, "they are not what they used to be...". But thanks to you, I will defiantly seek out a cobbler, to save them. Thank you! Unfortunately, we live in a disposable world...

Just subscribed this month but cant stop watching these videos, who knew that shoe repairing could be so interesting, great craftsmanship done to a high standard great work Dan 🔥🔥
are they your dogs?
the irony of this man doing motocross fetish footwear...
Ha! The visual similarity is definitely there, but these are of much higher quality.
Just subscribed, you are one of two cobblers that I watch on here. The other is Bedo's Leatherworks LLC.😁
