    Inspired by Karl Jacobs's character in "Tales From the SMP" I designed and made Karl's time travel journal by hand. In this video, I show you step by step how I did this bookbinding project. The design for the book is based on Karl's Jacobs roleplay characters on the Dream SMP. This is my next video on my Minecraft roleplay DIY bookbinding series from the Dream SMP. So be on the lookout for the next book from the MCYT!

  • @bonitessinorademichaornou807

    This is awesome. I bet if Karl knew, he would like to see your book. It wasn't professional, yeah, but I think that this added more life to the book. Like, did you really think that Karl from TOTsmp bought this book? No, he probably maked it himself, even though he's not that good at it.
    Good luck with new projects.

    this was so cute, i'm off to watch your ranboo book right away! i've always loved bookbinding and i appreciate how honest you are about it. like 'this took four hours' and 'yeah i just glued it on'. it just shows how you can make something sick even if you don't really know what you're doing. plus, i think the 'mistakes' like the faux leather, corner decorations being too small, the tea stain logo, etc... add a lot of character. it feels like karl made this book using all kinds of different materials throughout his journeys, and just ahh nice job! i know i'm only one person but you got a sub from me :D

    Hello! I have never done bookbinding before and you have inspired me to try it! I love Ranboo and Karl's books, I think they look amazing! Also, I don't know if this was said in the comments already, but you said folding the material on the outside of the book was difficult to do around the spine. I remember in your Ranboo bookbinding you wrapped the outside of the book first before putting the pages in and I think that might help you feel more satisfied with the end result. But it look's amazing either way you do it!!

    Trying to make my mother a River Song Diary replica for Christmas, and am using this and the Ranboo one as basic guides on page creation and the binding itself. Super cool video, keep up the good work.
