Indescribable Book Binding of Lovecraft's Complete Works
As mentioned in the video, here is a link to...
DAS Bookbinding explaining paste papers: th-cam.com/video/iKqvddv9ico/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CqwNtYekI16roxXg
And Sealemon teaching how to coptic bind a book with words: th-cam.com/video/lDO65k1173I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KXjHdCjVtPMAMqus
This book is a bit of a monstrosity. I wish the Cthulu on the spine came out better, but oh well. At least the symbol of Azathoth on the cover was easy enough to do well. I know a lot of what was done here was quite unconventional, so hopefully it lasts. If there's any pros who could tell me of any obvious blunders, though, I'd appreciate it.
Like in my last bind, the grain direction is not correct. I'm taking DAS for his word when he says it almost doesn't matter on coptic binds, and hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. Granted, this is far from a normal coptic bind at this point.
Something I failed to mention in the video is that because of the uneven nature of the deckled edge, and because of my thread looping over the ends of the signatures, it was very easy for the sewing holes to get out of alignment. You would probably have less of an issue if you used a clean edged text block.

Making a beautiful step out of 2x4s for camper (with storage)

Hobby lobby sells “leather remnants” and often they come with a lot of great piece for like $10. I could probably make 2 full leather jackets with the amount of material it’s cool.

    Have made a few books myself now, and have one of those gullotines you mentioned (technically not a gullotine, i think, they're referred to as "heavy duty paper cutters" in shops) and you're right, they rock. that chomp is *so* satisfying... LOL... especially after struggling through trying to cut books with a knife myself - I feel your pain. Re: cutting. DAS Bookbinding is a professional bookbinder and has a great channel with TONS of information for those wanting to learn. If memory serves me right, he reckons that books over an inch thick shouldn't be cut the way you did, but he does offer an alternative with a chisel that might work for you or anyone else in your position. Otherwise, I can think of two other ideas: 1) don't cut at all. It's not strictly necessary to the functioning of a good book and go back a couple hundred years and you'll find that they sometimes didn't then either, esp in cheaper books :D It looks nice and it does make flipping through to find a specific page easier but other than that... *shrugs*... you don't have to if its more trouble than its worth. 2) The other idea is that you do what I did with my first ever bookbind: cut each individual signature to length *before* you bind them (i.e. just 8 pages at a time). You don't get the nice smooth edge that you get with a chomp machine but I do think it's better than not cutting them at all, and i don't think it makes much difference in process for you since you cut the fore edge before you bound the book (most binders do it after when they're working with a text block which is constructed seperately to the case and put together at the end of the process). Thanks for the heads up on the software - will check that one out!

    @BarbaraCJ 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Half scissors is not ideal. A small utility knife with breakable piece of blades to cut off every so often when it stop cutting sharp would have been better. Sanding works too, is used for edge gilding too. But hey live and learn, right?

      I guess that depends on if you're including wait time or not. You know, for the adhesives to dry. Idk exactly how long, and things always take way longer when you're trying to make a video out of it haha. I'd guess though (not counting drying times) it took me between 15-20 hours. Had I not been recording, it could probably have been done in less than 10.

    Cutting the edges without a guillotine is the worst, yeah. I hear legends about being able to go to a print store and use their guillotines for a small fee, but I have yet to do that myself; I've also seen bespoke cutting jigs that clamp down on the paper and let you slide a sharp blade along the top flat surface and cut a page or two at a time. Not as neat as taking it in a single cut, but a lot nicer and easier than a box cutter and ruler! If you keep having problems with the folded edges not staying where you want them, you might be able to tack them down with a few bulldog clamps and some scrap cardboard so you can work on the long edges before the rest of the glue sets up. I recommend just getting a small block of beeswax (or even a paraffin candle) and waxing your own thread instead of using pre-waxed stuff, it won't shed nearly as much. I've also had some good results using embroidery floss for binding simple Coptic book projects, it takes wax just fine and you can mix and match colors if you're feeling fancy. I'm amazed you were able to bind such a thick book in that style, but it does look handy for a semi-disposable study book!

      Standard copy paper 8.5 x 11 (acid free though) The cloth just needs to be a natural fiber. This one was probably a bit thick, but it still worked. This type of bookcloth can also be referred to as buckram. Wheat paste is just wheat flour + water heated for a few minutes. It's used for gluing things like paper, cloth, and leather. It's surprisingly strong and durable stuff.
