“I don’t think anyone wants to watch a 45 minute video about stitching a book together.” You sir, are wrong. My autistic butt would LOVE to watch a 45 minute video on the topic if it meant I’m learning something from it!
Would love to see a mini book binding course, including how you attach the leather outing. Thanks!
Wouldn’t expect that for free; would be happy to pay for a course
@@mindyhall4638 I'm actually going to be going over a entry level of how to attach a cover to a text block in one of the upcoming videos. Some of the more complex ways to do it wont work for a video like this, but the pocket journal I showed at the start of the video is perfect for it!
yes!! 😍
Would love to see more types of book binding and how to attach to a leather cover. Great video, thanks!
Thats actually coming up in one of the next videos! 🙂
I would love to see more on book binding. This was really interesting. I didn't really have any idea at all how this worked, but I've wanted to make a leather journal for a while now. Thanks!
Definitely looking forward to the next installment in this book binding coverage!
Yes yes more on book making!!!
Yes! I would absolutely love to see more bookbinding content!
Would love to see the other stitches and the rest of the book binding
I really want to get into making books and book binding. Thank you for doing this detailed instruction on this method. You are able to clearly describe and demonstrate this method, and I really appreciate that effort. I would really appreciate any further instruction on how to bind books. Thanks again!
OLD Leather Smith here, Excellent Explanation David. I repair old Books, lately Bibles, the last one came 2 me where I had 2 repair the pages then installe them in the binding add ribbon markers. Now I have 2 make the outside and inside covers then sew together. I prefer MAINE THREAD it's made in America and available in😊6 thickness all waxed. I really appreciate your videos and instruction I keep sending my students 2 your channel 4 further instruction and then they come back 4 more questions of me. Thank you. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thank you my friend! So glad to hear they are helping you and your students.
I would enjoy seeing the other book binding techniques, thanks for sharing x
Can we get a whole book binding + book cover series? A series on how to make a book with a leather cover from A to Z.
I love the idea. Let me talk to the boss and see what she thinks. 🙂
Please do more book binding! If you show us how to remind a modern paper back book and attach it to leather I'd greatly appreciate it!
I'd definitely watch more bookbinding videos! 👍🏻 Thanks for the info! 🙏🏻
I would watch an hour-and-a-half video on bookbinding. Please, sir, share all your knowledge on bookbinding,
Love it! Thank you and I'd like to see the other stitches too please.
Yes, I would love more videos like this!
Perfect timing. I’m just starting on one for the first time now!
I would love to see more on book binding.
Please do more book binding!!
yes more like this. please
MORE BOOK BINDING!!!!
I’d love to learn this as well. I’m all in for a long video🤚🏼
Maybe I’ll make my own paper if I feel I’ve got the process of book making down.
More bookbinding please
Great video! I would love to see more videos on book binding.
More more more please!
Thank you for this vid . I hope that you do make vids showing the other two types of book binding stiches. I am with the other two replies. I also hope you will include videos on the other aspects of making leather books from scratch. I would also ask if possible include where you get some of the unusual supplies like the special book paper at. But even more important what tools that are specific to book making and possible sources to get them. Some of the tools used in our leather crafting will be cross over I know.
You're very welcome! We have a video coming in the next few weeks that shows how to attach a soft cover to a simple text block like this one. As far as supplies, thats a unending rabbit hole. The two main things you need when first getting started are a bone folder for folding the pages...Weaver sells a great one, and the cradle is very helpful. There are lots of places you can get those. Just look up book binding cradle. 🙂
I was thinking of making a stamped leather outer cover to replace the cover on a bible. Would like a video covering (pun intended) this topic. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video mate!
What a coincidence. The channel Half as Interesting also just uploaded a bookbinding video 😂
nuy buen video!!! si por favor si podes hacer otro!!! Gracias
Please show us more
Yes, pls make a series ;) Do You trim pages after binding?
It depends on the style of book and the look you want. I really like a deckled edge, so a lot of times, I will tear the edges of mine. Trimming the edges can be really tough without the clamp to hold it still.
I personally not only to see the other stick patterns, but I would love to see how to build a whole book from start to finish please.
I'm working on a set of leather vallet trays using material that is about 6-7 oz. in thickness. After punching holes, slicking the edges with trag, and dying with oil-based dye, I tried to bend the edges to form 1.5" walls, but the surface of my leather cracked on the exterior of the bend. What could have caused this, and how can I prevent this from happening again. I am very new to leatherworking, so any advice is appreciated!
My assumption would be the leather was either too dry, bent too quickly, or both. It's hard to say for sure without seeing the project, but most of the time you want the leather damp to wet when bending it that much.
kinda funny this showed up today. My daughter wants to make a leather covered book to match the book in How to Train your Dragon. Do you have a favourite weight or kind of paper to use when doing this?
How do you estimate how much thread you need to make a full pass per binding? Still 4-5x your length like general projects?
does anyone know where the background music is from?
More ... more… more
What type of paper works best for this project?
It depends on whether or not your making something that needs to last for 100 years, or if you're making a something more like a personal journal. If it needs to stand the test of time, it should be acid free paper and acid free glue, otherwise you're free to use whatever you like.
I've taken up book binding. Your stitches seem way too loose. I realize you are trying to keep the simple, but too loose will cause issues. I would like more info on leather covers making, at I've got the text block down, and can easily do a paper cover.
When you started talking about thread, you didn't mention how much thread you need. That would be convenient to know for someone who has never done it.
PLEASE
OLD Leather Smith here, Sorry Daniel being Old I sometimes forget names faces. I always remember.
Again sorry.
GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
What's with the hero music? You are binding books. That's cool enough. No need for symphonics.
HA! I agree. My video editor used that music. I've dialed him back for future videos, but left it in for this one. It didn't hurt anything, but I agree...its a little too epic.
Hell I would watch a 45min video. If you talked.
Quality as always. like @mindyhall4638 I want to see it all :)
