If you want to make a book that will be opened and closed a lot or referred to often or used in a dampish environment such as a pocket then please insure that the grain of the paper goes from top to bottom not side to side as in this demonstration. You can tell paper grain by noticing the way it bends or folds most easily. When damp it will buckle or wrinkle where it is held tightly by the binding. Otherwise an awesome little pocket book and a fun thing to do with your machine! We used to sew the little pocket size bank books many years ago at the print shop I worked at.
Alexander Dyer Thank you for your kind reply. The little Moleskin journals that are 3 1/2 ×5 1/2 are sewn and round cornered just like the book you made, but with a paper cover and sold for at least 4$ each so if you did make a video of a similar booklet it could be a worthwhile sideline for someone with one of these beautiful machines, like you have.
Love watching the work ! I had to smile though, when you were trimming with the craft knife..you see, my nose would have had to be right there...near my fingers to see the white on white lol. As always, just enjoy watching that machine go. Great video, and thanks for that bit of eye candy at the end hahaa.
Curious how the note books held up. Was thinking that the stitches being so close could cause a perforation of sorts and all the pages to be easily pulled apart.
This is a tried and true method, been around for hundreds of years albeit done by hand originally with needle and cord. You are right in that the pages become perforated and this can be minimized with proper stitch length and the afore mention perforation is much reduced from that of say a spiral bound notebook. Fear not, very hardy.
@@AlexanderDyer actually experimenting now. kinda figured stitch length is a factor. a lot of hand sewn books have a much longer stitch length and possibly not as many stitches. also, went down a little rabbit hole looking into this and learned that this method of binding is being used in the book binding industry. anyways, as always, thanks for sharing... th-cam.com/video/D5MBYKMfZgE/w-d-xo.html
really infesting build i really like what you did with the cover, i was wondering what material was that Corrosive sign? i want to make my own but just wondering what that's made out of and wondering also can i use staples instead of sewing it together? i don't have access to a sewing machine
Several family members would love those leather notebooks. Could my Juke DDL8700-7 do this, with the right needle? If it would, do I need to use any particular presser foot?
Thank you for sharing! What type of tool were you using to round off the corners and even up the pages? It looks like a chisel, but that doesn't seem right.
Awesome, learned a lot of stuff I am going to be using in the future to improve my notebook binding. Your sewing machine looks pretty heavy duty would a normal sewing machine work?
They just are not suited to feed the relatively hard and slippery paper. You really need a more positive feed system. th-cam.com/video/avr3pN_udMA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alexander. Great video. Do you know whats the minimum strength I need on a machine to make this? I have a cheap Singer and I think I will break it. I dont have access to an industrial one but can think of buy one.
If your sewing machine is all metal gears then It should do ok but if you have plastic gears then beware. Even if the motor is not up to the task you can help it through with the hand wheel but only if you have an all metal machine. If it is plastic it is anybody's guess. Use a larger needle and thread for this type of project.
Thank you so much for sharing, I had no idea a sewing machine could sew through leather . In your opinion, how many pages are the maximum a sewing machine can sew through? Again inspiring .
That depends entirely on the sewing machine. The sewing machine you see in the video can sew over half an inch. For home machines again depends on quality. This can break plastic gears. Thanks for your kind words.
Couldn't help but to notice all of the machines in the background . Awe shucks Man , machine envy .
Sounds like you have caught the fever. It seems that most people who get an industrial sewing machine never stop with one.😄
I've never seen a book bound that way - fantastic time saver. The whole thing is Brilliant!
+Vicki Wood Thanks. I just changed the title of this video based on your comment. Book Binding; Yes!
+Alexander Dyer (STRONGBOLT)
It's an idea that deserves to catch on :)
I have made many books as you demonstrate, but never the leather case. I love this! I see stocking stuffers in my future!
Sweeet.
I've watched this twice! Excellent video tutorial ! Thank you!!!
I love your project videos. The tool bag was super cool.
Thanks
Gorgeous just gorgeous. You have inspired me so much!
What a great video! ...and another new style for a travel notebook concept! Well Done!

That is very interesting, I might have to make some more field note books and try out my new gained knowledge. Thanks

Interesting comment. I had no idea to look for that.
Very cool project. Your creativity is boundless.
It was a fun one, I wanted to make a gift for my brother.

Great video thank u for sharing your talent
that ass slap at the end 😂😂😂
I love your neat works
I am glad.
I had that same anatomy book when I was in X-ray School in the 80"s
Beautiful work my friend :)
Dude! That was awesome
Susan Yammouni You are too kind, Thank you.
Brilliant brother !! Thanks for the video
That tap on his ass at the end! My dad used to do that kind of shit. LOL.

Easy enough to use a punch, and sew by hand.
Or try one of these:

what kind of paper do you use for cover?
Very nice work.
Thank you.
Several family members would love those leather notebooks. Could my Juke DDL8700-7 do this, with the right needle? If it would, do I need to use any particular presser foot?
It would not be ideal. You would have to use lighter thread than I did and I am not sure the drop feed would work very well to advance the project.
Thank you for sharing! What type of tool were you using to round off the corners and even up the pages? It looks like a chisel, but that doesn't seem right.
Your right, it was a chisel, a straight chisel. Thanks for the question.

where can i buy leather like that at
I would totally buy that if you sold them...
Did you...
Did you just sew through aluminum?
I have a 111 class singer but I dont think I would try to sew aluminum.
No, I did not sew through aluminum. The hazardous materials placard was cardboard.😆
@@AlexanderDyer gotcha. Flattening the fold with a hammer made me think otherwise.
Hi Alexander. Great video. Do you know whats the minimum strength I need on a machine to make this? I have a cheap Singer and I think I will break it.

Beautiful. Do you sell these? And how do you avoid burning the leather with the lighter?
No, this was a present for my brother. As for the lighter and the leather, time and distance. The thin thread melts way before the leather is damaged.
That's great
Quite a bit or chisel work to shape the notebook at the end. I wonder if a router or something would have been quicker.
Good idea.
Maybe I will steal it.
this is great to see - what machine are you using? how thick can it sew-wonderful from asvin
That is a compound feed, industrial sewing machine. Juki 1508 amzn.to/2wbof6I
Alexander, what kind of sewing machine is that? Lovely work!!
Juki 1508
Do you use a special sewing machine? Or a special needle? Because your cover seems pretty stiff and the leather pretty thick for a regular one.
I use a Juki LU-1508NH. It is an Industrial Walking Foot sewing machine that will sew through leather up to half an inch thick.
+Alexander Dyer (STRONGBOLT) thank you for your answer! So I guess I'd rather not try this with my little sewing machine, haha!
If it is an all metal machine I would definitely try it. If it is plastic then you might beware.
i may have missed it, but what type of thread did you use?
+phitausundown I used what I had. Tex 105 Poly White
You are awesome!

The very old Singer Class 7 machines in WWII could sew through an inch of heavy canvas. Those are monstrous cast iron machines.
And hat is called hand eye coordination.
What type of sewing machine is that?
Sue24301 That is what is known generally as a walking foot sewing machine. Good for leather and upholstery.
fantastic
Nice job. Do you do passports?
😈
hehehe...well done. Cheers
Cool
8:20 !!!
😎👍
Super slow sewing machine, which gives you extra control. Must have a speed reducer of some kind.
You are correct.
@@AlexanderDyer Did you have to use a heavy-duty needle for this (no 120?) and how did you slow down the sewing machine?
@@Christaaaan Not a heavy duty needle, probably a 21 or 22. This machine has a speed reducer and servo motor.
عمل جيد
he wasted so much paper. just that part i dont like.
Did you just cut a page from the Holy Netter? How dare you! Blasphemy!
No, Grant's by Anderson. Heavily written in by those before me, bought for a dollar at the local library.
@@AlexanderDyer Ah it's all good then. :P I used your video and now I have a ton of new notebooks (plain cover)
@@tiberiu_nicolae Awesome.
