- For those dyed-in-the-wool romantics out there, I'm certain the 2004 film 'The Notebook' holds a special place in your hearts. For those who haven't seen the film (no spoilers!) it is the story of Allie Nelson and Noah 'Duke' Calhoun, whose life-long love is retold through the pages of Allie's journal. In this video series I embark on recreating that journal as it might have been before Allie first set pen to paper.
Part 1 covers the initial planning of the book, as well as sewing and trimming the text block and rough cutting the boards. In this video I will finished the text block by adding the ribbon and lining the spine, as well as assembling the case and covering it with book cloth. In Part 3 I will tool the decorative lines on the covers, pare and apply the leather corners, and finally attach the text block to the cover, completing the book.

I know this comment is a bit late, but just wanted to thank you for these great videos! I am learning so much! Your attention to detail is refreshing and appreciated. 👍🖋🙋♀️
Excellent use of old mathematics textbooks!
The best use, in my opinion.
Utterly absorbing!
My Partner is a huge fan of The Notebook. You have made her very happy.
You sir, are a very good teacher. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
love your craft, learning so much. not missing a single video 🤓 god bless you
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Wonderful video, thanks so much for taking the time to do it. But now I need to move into a larger home so I will have a space for that paper cutter!
Oh my goodness, I never thought to look for you in You Tube! So glad I found your videos! -Korri (your huge fan and aspiring book binder from the US) 😊
Welcome to the channel!
Beautiful shot of the rain at 13:20!
It was really coming down!
I'm watching this a couple of years later, in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa, where we're under a Heavy Rain Warning (again!), and a Thunderstorm Watch from Te Ratonga Tirorangi/Met Service. I'm glad you mentioned you were having thunder, as I might've thought it was ours! Loving the videos; they fascinate me, and your narration is perfect ❤🇳🇿
Loved this series! Perhaps consider the grail diary from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade as a future project?
Excellent. Thank you.
The thunder in the background is super sexy!
I could go for a good thunderstorm right now.

I wonder how well unprimed canvas would work in place of the woven strip. I say it that way to point out they are both woven. 🙂
The canvas could be a bit thick and bulky, but in principle they would serve the same purpose.
😊👍👍👍👍👍
Hi there, how did you determine the distance between the two bookcases and the spine of the Book?
Is there a standard width or does this differ with the thickness of the book?
I‘m looking foreward for your reply.
The videos are great btw. Thanks a lot. Ruedi
So I've heard people say that the acids in pva glue yellow things over time due to acid. Is this something you worry about or do you not plan for your books to last that long?
I use archival acid-free pva.
@@FourKeysBookArts ohh cool thanks for the response
@@FourKeysBookArts sorry to bother you but do you do commissions I've been looking for the perfect notebook for years. I realy like to keep the things I design I find it especially useful doing engineering things.
You mention that the thickness of the text block with covers is 22cm. That would be very big. I'm pretty sure you ment 22mm. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah, that would be a massive book!😂 22mm is correct.
Isn't that a variant of the German case “Bradel” binding "der gebrochene Rücken " ?
It certainly is.
That is a thick book at 22 centimetres I think that is an error and you meant 22 millimetres thick?
Hello. I was wondering if Mull is the same thing as Super?
I can’t seem to figure out if it is? It looks similarities but I’m not really sure. And I don’t want to buy the wrong item.
I want something that will allow the spine to remain flexible so that my journals can open up and lay as flat as possible.
I believe Super does that so maybe it’s the same? I was hoping you would be able to shed some light on the subject for me. It would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
Mull, super, and scrim are all the same thing, just a loosely-woven cloth (like cheesecloth) that is stiffened with starch. Thanks for watching!
@@FourKeysBookArts thanks so much. Cheers
Where did you get your book finishing clamp?
I made it myself.
Why did you bevel the edge of the spine stiffener?
