      That was really cool. When you cut the paper for the bookplate I got a little nervous. Oh wait, it's Nik, she knows what she's doing!

    That was absolutely brilliant, Nik! Just when I thought you couldn't do any more, you go and add the title in the way you did. I am in awe of your skill set, Nik! Thankyou so very much for expanding mine. Veronica x P.S. Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope everyone is well?!

    I'm pretty new to your channel so I hadn't seen you do this. Not sure if it was the soothing sounds and/or the captivating movements of this process, but it worked for me; it had me entranced. It chilled me out... time for sleep, (Not to say that it put me to sleep)! Thanks for sharing your work.

    Thank you for this video. What a transformation you brought about. It is always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at work. My father’s passion was making violins in his spare time, so I have been brought up watching meticulous processes being wrought on materials to transform simple elements into beautiful, exquisitely turned treasures.

    • @NiktheBooksmith
      @NiktheBooksmith  Před 2 lety +1

      You father made violins?? As a hobby??? Now, THAT is true talent. What a lucky kid you were to be able to watch him craft. =)

    Nice touch inlaying the title block. I am a huge fan of covered bricks as weights. Mine, though, are covered in reused kraft paper I get in packages as filler. My 1, 2, 3 blocks are also covered. That is because I work with leather and the metal edges might scratch the leather. (1, 2, 3 blocks are used as weights for keeping patterns still) Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it immensely. (as usual)
