- In this video I am starting to make a box for a client, the box is to hold two items of different sizes. This is the first installment. You may have seen the finished box make a cameo appearance in the inset movies. More to follow which will complete the prototype.

Please watch my video on Glue and Roller Basics. All is explained.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you Sage
we missing your tutorials ..do you have more boxes tutorials...thank you Gob Bless
What kind of glue do you use?
Your videos are EXCELLENT! You are such a great teacher --- your videos are so richly detailed. Camera angles are just perfect! I am a relatively new book artist and am thrilled to find a person with your depth and knowledge on you tube, much less with the perfection of your videos! No wasted time or words for you! Thank you so much! . You are truly an inspiration!
Quick question: do you let your methyl cellulose dissolve in the water overnight? I am readying my cloth for backing, and have been reading that you should mix MC the day before planning to use it in order for it to totally dissolve. Is this true? Or perhaps mixing with warm water would be appropriate if you wanted to use it immediately? I would certainly appreciate your opinion and knowledge on this. THANK YOU so much! Susan
Methyl cellulose should be allowed to rest after adding water. I sometimes let it rest over night but that is not necessary, after about 20 minutes it is as thick/dense as it will get. If you let it rest over night it will clarify, usually with no difference in the thickness of its body. It can be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container for a long time and the density stays where I want it. If it is stored a VERY long time it will start to break down and get runny, that's when I throw it away and make a new batch. BTW warm/hot water will make it ( and wheat paste) clump into things that never dissolve.
Wow, I feel like I’ve been noticed by a rock star!!! THANK YOU so much for such a quick and thorough response! I am glad to know that methyl cellulose will set up within 20 or so minutes and I don’t need to mix it with hot water. I have my fabric and now, can start the process - thanks to you! And I am excited to learn that it will keep in the refrigerator. Very good to know. Again, I think you are an incredible talent and I so appreciate your willingness to share your expertise online. Your videos are just excellent. I am a HUGE FAN. Thank you!!!! Susan
Brilliant. It took me until 5:50 to figure out why the gage was double thickness. I can be slow at times. Also, I love how this was does with out measuring.
Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching.
Mr Sage , do you sharpen your shear or do you have some one sharpen for you? I love that shear!!
The shear has not needed to be sharpened in over 30 years.It was made when people made machines to work well and work well beyond their own life time. (and probably dates from some time around the beginning of the 20th century) I did have it sharpened once and that has to be done by an engineer who know what they are doing. I don't even know if that company is still operating because it was back in the '80's, they still had a shop on West Broadway in the city about three blocks from where my studio was in the Cable building on Broadway. All of those machinery businesses left the city decades ago during the evolution of digital typesetting along with a lot of the printers and binderies.
Thanks for watching.
Sage, where did you get the clear acrylic triangle speed square you use? I have searched everywhere trying to find one and can't locate them.
I make and sell them. (my main website {www.sagereynolds.com} and Etsy {sageart} they are also available from Talas online. Thanks for watching.
Great video. As a material, what's the nearest one to Rexine - I'm thinking of thickness as well as durability.
Skivertex is an American version of skivertex. I comes in a bewildering amount of colors and animal skin textures as well as smooth or shiny surfaces, look for it online. they sell rolls and sheeted stock. Thanks for watching.
i heard you mention bookbindind do you do handmade books also
Does anyone know what kind of glue he uses? Simple Elmers with a brush?
Hey! What kind of glue do you use? I tried regular PVA glue and applied it directly to cardboard. Paper didnt glue corectly. It made a lot of wrinkles. What kind of paper do you use? Thanks
Please look at my glue and roller basics video, that will answer a lot of questions, I am using PVA diluted with water.
thanks for watching.
Hello I am just now finding your videos and find them fascinating. I do have a question. What is the lining material that you use?
In this video it is most likely Canson paper but you can use any good paper, in other videos you will see other types of lining designed for the intended use of the boxes. Thanks for watching, stay safe and get the vaccine as soon as you can.
@@Ceropegia thank you for the response! Is this paper just decorative or does it serve a mechanical purpose?
Does the cutter/trimmer have a specific name? What is it? Is it antique? Is that a brake you are using with your foot to hold the paper/board in place? Thanks for making these very informative videos. Have a blessed day.
The cutter is called a Board Shear. It is at least 100 years old now. I have had it since the about 1979. It does have a foot powered clamp to hole the material still while being cut. Thank you for watching, stay safe and get the vaccine as soon as you can.
@@Ceropegia I have and thanks for the information. Hope you’ve gotten the vaccine already too, have a blessed weekend.
What materials are you using?
The materials were supplied by my client. the lining paper is Canson and the covering material is a grass cloth wall paper. I don't recommend the grass cloth for anything you intend to keep around and use long term. The grass part also breaks when you make folds around corners, it was never meant to be used this way. This box is for an invitation with a video and isn't meant to last much beyond the event. Thanks for watching.
Want to design a premade paper mache boxes. Am I am able to to apply silk on to a paper mache box? Are you able to purpose meth cellulose at a craft store?
?????? Sir, what kind of board is this??????
It is standard binders board. for boxes I use 60 point to 98 point board.
Can I commission you to make a prototype for me out of a box?
I have retired from binding and box making. My time now is devoted to metal work and drawing. Thank you for asking and watching.
