How to EASILY make a Leather Bound Book

- Magnus shows you how to easily make a simple leather bound book, with stitched in pages. He also uses Viking artwork on the book and supplies you with an option to get the pattern and artwork.
When making a leather bound book, ignore the use of spray glue unless you're stitching the cover together. Spray glue is more of a temporary adhesive, use something like barge contact cement instead.

I've started adding links to the tools and supplies I use and can locate into the description of all my videos. Full disclosure, purchasing anything through those links helps earn this channel a bit of money as I try and make this more and more of my focus.
Are you able to list the music as well?
I stumbled on your video and looked at your ETSY page. This is some great work! I dont need any of it but Im compelled to buy something because of the craftsmanship. Well done!
1.5k likes and 8 dislikes. Doing good man. I remember as a kid running around leather shops. My aunt and uncle were leather workers for years. Lots of dream catchers vests, chaps, and even some bikinis. Real leather just has this kind of thing about it.
Can u make me one
What kind of paper did you use and where did you order it from? Book looks great, your carving skills secede mine by a lot!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I made my first leather bound notebook and it came out great. Also, thank you son much for responding to my messages asking further questions! If I knew how to attach a picture of the book I made I would
Send it to me info at darkhorseworkshop.com
I bought tooling tools 6 years ago, tried learning from a book and promptly gave up. So happy I found you as I am now tooling and making books!!! You are a great teacher!
Aaahhhh! I've been watching videos off and on for several weeks and I have finally found THE ONE! I'm making a ship's log for my son and his fiancé's very first sailboat. My father has been sailing since he was a kid, even made his very first sailing dinghy. He taught me. And my son joined us later and grew up on my parent's sail boat. We all loved it. Now it's his turn to own his own sail boat and a proper log. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
This is the first time watching a DHW video.Very nice! Thank you for sharing your valuable time with us, Paz
Glad to have you aboard! Thanks!
Dude! Finally another video from you I have been waiting for this! Always love your instructions and killer sound this time music on point.
Why did i sink all my Profession Points into Engineering and not into Leather Working??
boltimuss most underrated comment 😆🤣👏🏻👌🏻
profession points?
@@RileyTube08 like in a roleplay game
Engineering is better for PVP.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop not as fun as this though I like art my dead ass went for engineering but my passion is in art
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills! Finished product looks great. I, myself, would prefer the thread to be as dark as the outside cover leather or the darker color like your carving ended up being.
Thanks, again!
God Bless!!!
Your detailed descriptions/explanations were very much appreciated. You've created a beautiful piece.
Absolutely LOVE how this turned out
That is just beautiful. Great tutorial, thank you.
I liked how you threaded it!
I love your work can't wait for more videos
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Beautiful cover.
OMG this is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so so much for making this video.
All of your work is absolutely impressive. I have been wanting to get into making Viking stuff for ever. I'd love to learn from someone like you.
Excellent, now I can surprise Anna with... MANY LEATHER BOUND BOOKS...
This is a project I've had in the back of my mind for a couple years. It would be something I'd like to tackle at some point. I'd go all out too with all kinds of adornments.
I might start with some super simple designs at first.
Truly lovely. Love the work, the skill, ease of understanding, presentation and that voice, enchanting. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. I need to make more videos. Getting after it starting tonight.
This was amazing to watch. I have a new appreciation for handmade leather journals now! ❤️😱❤️
Oh wow! I’d love to make something like this for my sketching, watercolour and artwork. I’ve always loved leather bound books. That antique look and call me weird but the smell of the leather I like too.
I love the smell of leather I think alot of people do 😊
I want to make my own book of shadows and now im like rly excited
Amazing work! You have inspired me to try out leathercraft Magnus. Keep up the great work man!
this turned out really beautiful.
I've never seen or even heard about book making and carving but I'm going to look into it! Seems like fun.
Just found your channel, great work! I'd like to make a book for my wife for her b-day so thanks for sharing. I do a little leatherwork, mostly knife sheaths so this should hopefully be an easy transition.
Again, fabulous work!!
Thanks for the tutorial brother. Strong work. Im thinking of doing this for my own personal hobby and this just inspires me even more.
Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful piece of Art. Lots of Love from a Swedish Viking 💖🙋🇸🇪
*suddenly inspired*
To make a book for Anna?
I watched his shield video (I’m Scandinavian and look up to my ancestors) and I got inspired
I love your videos because your instructions are clear and you list links to your tools and supplies. I'd rather hear just you without the music, but at least you kept the volume down. Most folks commenting here like the music, so it's just a personal choice. Your leather working skills are crazy good, so please keep the videos coming. I just subscribed. Brilliant!
Thank you so much for this!! I've never worked with leather, and now I have a beautiful leather bound book to give as a gift to someone I love! Perfect tutorial.
You are so welcome!
That looks great - I’d gladly buy this.
I love the antique aged effect 👍
Stunning work, it's really amazing. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I just subscribed. I blacksmith and beekeeping, and now I think I'm gonna take up leather working. Thanks for the videos. You do a great job
i'm glad i found this channel its been hard trying to do leather working without good tutorials
Thanks for putting this on here, you make it so easy to do, you have such a straight cutting hand, don't think I can do so well...I'm dying to make one, just need to get my materials together, have made paper that I am hoping to use for it, can't wait
This is so beautiful. I love notebooks and have always wanted to do something personalized like this. Never seen the gouging technique used to help bend the cover. Definitely easier and faster than what I'd seen. It also looks simple enough to reuse. Fill the notebook then cut out the filled pages and refill for drafts. No need to buy notebooks ever again
Glad you like it. :)
Até que enfim um excelente vídeo desse tutorial em português!
Thanks for the reply. I can look out for more videos now.
Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to have a go at this
The book looks great. Thanks for the video. I appreciate the commentary you give while going through the video.
Many thanks.
I would never try this myself but what a joy watching the video! You do beautiful work!
I have been looking for a way to do this...this is a solid foundation video. Thank you.
Beautifully done, good sir.
Thanks for the tutorial, planning to start on my first book this week :)
This video inspired me to get into leatherworking a year or so ago. It was only now that I actually made my first books! They are also my first big money items as well! I made a matching set of three books, rebinding my friend's Dungeons and Dragons books.
I used 1/16" balsa wood panels as the inside of the cover, with the leather cover stitched to it. Turned out nice.
Regarding burnishing, if you don't want to do it by hand, and you don't have a bench burnisher, it's really easy to make attachments for a rotary tool. I bought some 1/8" metal rod from the big box hardware store (Menards, in my case) and some 1/2" round oak dowels. I drilled a hole through the center of the dowel, then epoxied an appropriate length of rod through it. I threw some stain on the edges of various scrap pieces of leather and pressed it against the dowel. I put my rotary tool in a vice, inserted the newly glued attachment into the rotary tool, then turned it on. . . Used a tapered round rasp and set it against the spinning line on the attachment and kept applying pressure until i felt it was deep enough. Voila! Burnisher rotary tool attachment. I went a bit extra and rounded the edges, used my wood burner to put some designs on it, then applied some tung oil.
Page tearing is definitely a thing! I had to go buy a monster manual because I ripped the one he provided.
Awesome about the books they sound cool. :)
This is sooo gorgeous. I'm your bigest fan now.Love the choice of music to.
loved the cover design, wish I could do it : )
That is incredibly beautiful, especially with the carving in the stain of course. Thanks for the great how-to video! I could see making something like this for myself, but keeping it very simple compared to what you've done. Although now I want to go look at your carving video and give it a try!! 🤔
Well done! A beautiful book!
Gorgeous work. Very inspiring. Thanks for the video. Will use your links when I get a lab again.
Beautiful work!
Stunning! Maybe some metallic gold accents on another knot work carving?
Thank you for taking the time to make and share this skill. Very grateful..Skal
I love doing it. I'm kind of sad I've had no time lately.. Hopefully more soon.
im very excited to try this out :D gonna make a lined book!
2:15 using a hollow punch instead of an awl for the signatures. That's some next level stuff, i like it.
I subbed the moment I saw all your viking collection at 4:30 (that includes your beard). I instantly got the gist of what this channel is about~
+Cassie Barns Happy you're enjoying the videos. The beard is on shave watch right now. I said I'd shave it when I got down to a certain weight. I'll bring it back right away though I'm sure. Haha
My goodness this is amazing, thanks for making the video!
odette nightshade Glad you found it handy.
Amazing. Such talent.
I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU.
Such a great video!🏆 Thank you for sharing your knowledge🙏
Thanks 🖤 for showing us how Easy it can be, and for explained so well, I'm gonna make my own book of Shadows..
Skäl 🍻
Beautiful i love it
Very nice work!!
I've been binge watching some of your videos today and I gotta say that your craft is absolutely stunning! This journal is beautiful though I wished it had more pages. But that's just my preference. Keep up the amazing work! You inspire me to work more on my leather bookbinding
You can just fold more pages into it. :)
I believe I will have to try and make one myself now. Beautiful work!!
+Arvil Maddox awesome to hear
Fantastic 🤯 I’ve never seen a book like this😲
Beautiful.
This is freaking gorgeous!
WOW! very nice. I really enjoyed your video. My medium of choice is: paper and fabric. I am going to try your technique with fabric books. I look forward to more videos.
Great work
Holy crap I love this! Soooo wish I could make my own book like this!
WOW .... just ... wow .... amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s really beautiful book! Thanks for sharing this amazing art!
A tip for having your tooling not get drowned out by the antique to create contrast is to apply super/satin shene to your tooling before antiquing. dye your tooling how ever you want, finish it with shene, let dry then antique. the shene will save the coloring and provide a barrier to the tooling from the antique. this way the antique will still antique the tooling without sacrificing your tooling.
I've got that process down pretty good now, smart tip though.
Incredible embossing
stunning work.
Thanks for sharing this awesome video, dude!!! Great job!!!
I plan on making books soon. Mostly for personal use in a live stream Dungeons & Dragons game I play in. The book is going to be a journal/prayer book my Paladin is protecting from corrupt members of his temple.
It's amazing man. Knowing me, I'll eventually get the tools up to do this. Amazing work on your knot too! I have a paperbound version of an old grimoire. Do you think you could make a video on rebinding a paperbound book with leather?
This would be like a cool D&D journal book
Definitely. :)
Lovely journal. Not an easy bind or work for most people. Even lost me on your time lapse for the stitching and I make leather journals, but different to your kind. Thanks for sharing.
great work - i write books as a hobby and this would be great to put my story's in
Beautiful!
Great technique
You are AMAZING! Wow!!
Awesome stuff
This video alone earned you my subscription! Good work!
que belleza de trabajo!!!!! felicitaciones
Wow so amazing!!!!!!!
I liked the new angle for the stitching. I could easliy see what you were doing.
That looks really nice dude!
Very nice! Thanks for the video.
Ty for the beautiful video
Great video bro! Really enjoyed it, might even give it a go myself!
Great video, really nice end result.
I've checked out some of your videos, love your work. Definitely got a new subscriber out of me.
This was one of those vids that inspire...
Now to get up off my lazy oss and try this! :D Thank you so much for sharing this vid Dark Horse Workshop guy!
Get after it, just starting is the hardest part.
Carving a frame would look wonderful on that cover.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
