HEY! Thanks for watching! Check out Black Beard Project's video on how he cast the covers th-cam.com/video/DH74_GkI1Wc/w-d-xo.html !😍 Can't believe how heavy this tome is, it's truly something else... Anyway - hope you are staying safe and that you liked the vid (and maybe give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it)! :D
@II QuietRiot II wait, I have to know, does that smell ever change; Similarly how you can smell bad coffee? I would think that the coffee would continue to decompose, and because coffee has NH3 in its composition it could release ammonia making a terrible smell later. Although that does leave the possibility that you air-dried your paper under the sun where the UV could kill the bacteria that form as the coffee spoils.

You are- * chefs kiss * The tome is- * chefs kiss * This whole channel is- * chefs kiss * I will never stop fangirling over you 😂💜💜💜 amazing job i love it
Very "solid" project! I once saw a full metal binding in on of our libraries here that had a chain mail type of construction made out of silver-copper alloy to keep the spine flexible. The tragic thing was that somebody had left the book open without closing the clasps and the parchment inside swelled too much for it to be ever closed again.
@@brocktechnology The problem was mainly the wrinkling, that's where the swelling of the book came from. Parchment achieves its smoothness by drying under a lot of tension and then cut to size. It doesn't have the property of paper to just wet it again, press it and dry it. When it's already in book format, with writing, illuminations and so on, it's rather hard to hook it onto a frame and tension it again to become smooth. It has to keep pressed under all times, hence the clasps on the book. As the conservators told me, there was always the option to fit it into a new binding, constructed with the change of proportions in mind, though it was a shame it would never fit again in its original beautiful binding.
You two have inspired me so much. I made my own leather bound tome... It took two months and it looks like trash compared to yours but the sheer fact that I can say I made a while ass BOOK is still surreal to me. I wouldn't have even attempted something like this if it wasn't for your videos!❤️
well I painted my brand new shoes because they looked so boring..I would not have done that if I didn't know Martina who always try something new, which she has never tried before..she is very inspiring
Thank you for all you do with these videos, i watch them a lot when im fighting depression/anxiety issues and even re-watch the older vids a lot. Both of you are wholesome and fun and full of positive energy and great content that is chill and relaxing to watch and makes dark days a little brighter UwU Once more, thank you for all you do!
Can I just say thank you? And I mean this sincerely. I've been trying to write a novel and I've written every thing down on notebook paper or in a google doc. But it has quickly become disorganized and messy. I will totally be using that website from now on. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
OK by far one of the BEST BOOKS YOU'VE EVER MADE Martina!! WOW doesn't even cover how awesome this turned out - and those final shots... ARGH! PERFECTLY EPIC!!!!!! Please do more book crafting such as this! Imagine if you did a gold book!!! Or a series of a Gold, Silver and Bronze book!! Please consider the idea of doing a book for each main crystal too such as sapphire, emerald, ruby, topaz, amethyst (each colour of the rainbow as crystal books would be rather interesting to see your design of them!
This is my favorite one so far. Love your videos so inspiring. Ive was in hospital since mid october. Had 3 surgeries to get rid of an infection that was literally putting me on my death bed. Im cut deep from between groin and let all the way up to my hip. Got out around first week of november. My 30th birthday was spent you guest in hospital. But watching your vids really kept me inspired on what i want to do once im all better.
That was awesome. As always you take us on a journey of creativity and wonder, diving into the realm of possibilities and imagination. Keep it up, you guys are great. Oh and any chance you can get Honz on more of your projects? You guys work so well together and with you and him, projects go from awesome to beyond.
Have you ever thought about filling your books with things following their themes? Like, painting a page in the water tome to look like a puddle, or pressing leaves into the forest tome, or doodling burning objects in your fire tome.
I know this comment wasn’t for me (a random joe), but your question was similar to what I was thinking. My husband taught my younger sister photography, and she wants a book to put them all in. She wants a cool portfolio but not a scrapbook. She also draws cartoon strips. I was going to start making her these tomes, and she can fill each one with photos that follow with the theme of the tome itself. Unique, clean pages, whimsical enough to suit her arty nature, and her own individual incentive to keep pursuing photography.
Hand write it full of metal songs. You know...metal covers in the book with metal covers... Ba-dumm-tiss. *cricket chirping... Right, ok, i see...i'll just be seeing myself out then.
I started watching your channel over a year ago, maybe close to 2 years, when you were uploading a bunch of hand-bound tome videos. I'd never watched any video that was anything like those ones, which instantly hooked me onto this channel. I then fell in love with yours and Hansi's personalities and I've watched every video since. This video and your pure enthusiasm really feels nostalgic and is really helping me get through some rough times. Thank you so much Martina and Hansi for being some of the coolest content creators on the web.
Now this is not only a book it is a secret weapon to knock some annoying classmates off, no but seriously this is insane😍 Now stay safe everyone 😊 Edit: the pink goodie goes so well with ur hair 😍
Hi! Some time ago I tested a few techniques to etch aluminium and I described the one that worked best for me in my notes. I laminated photoresist onto a roughed up aluminium surface for masking as I would do for electronic PCBs, but nail polish works well. I had some failed attempts with electrical tape, the mordant finds its way under it at some point, especially if you etch deep. For the mordant I used 1 tea spoon table salt and 1/2 tea spoon citric acid for each 20mL of water. The aluminium piece is completely submerged into the mordant and attached to the positive electrode of a generator. A sacrificial copper object is connected to the negative electrode and submerged as well. Then 45 to 50 minutes under 1.7A current for a .5-ish mm depth (I assume this would vary depending on your application, etching depth is a somewhat linear function of time with this technique). Citric acid is used to neutralize the sodium hydroxide that forms during the electrolysis, which would otherwise attack the surface in a non controllable fashion (and also ruin the photoresist). Hope this helps if you intend to try this again at some point! Always a pleasure watching you!
@Florencia Aurelia It's Norwegian, but those are not actual words, it's from the Jungle Book or something and for some reason people in the nineties started using it as "what's up", I don't know. "Hva skjer a?" is asking what's going on and that's shortened to "skjera" which sounds like Shere (Khan) from The Jungle Book, then Bagereea from The Jungle Book. Then you can answer with "ingenting tingeling" which means "nothing" plus Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. Why? Well, nobody knows.
@@daniel4647 Thanks for the explanation. Being Swedish i assumed I should understand what it means, but nope. Now I will understand and hear what you are saying.
Linked from Blackbeards channel. WOW, Super impressed, the planning, the hours of work, beautiful piece. presentation at the end was spot on as well. Now i have Another channel to catch up on. wonderful....
12:10 The inverse would have looked really nice as well. I like that’s there so much of the mirror finish visible here. It you etched just the thin lines and the rest was shiny, it would be next level.
Man as a Fellow Dwarf Fanatic. I applaud your craftsmanship in making this piece! Though I do pity whoever will be if ever tasked with filling in art and text for those pages XD if ever I was to attempt something like this. what I will take from this video is to wright and draw the book before assembling.
I'm still so surprised and excited that you featured me in your inta story. Your new merch is amazing. I really enjoy watching your content and appreciate your work.
I remember being on a D&D server with a 7ft, warforged wizard who had what was basically this book. Gold inlay for writing, metal pages, inch thick covers of pure steel, and has straps to lug it around like a backpack since it was so damn heavy. The idea was that it was basically invincible and wouldn't break. My favorite part was when my gnome wizard interacted with him, and compared spellbound. I had a paper field guide that fit in my pocket because it was convenient (which for a gnome, might as well be a business card holder). The warforged would slam his "book" on the ground, and my gnome could've used it as a stage it was so big.
Beautiful work and tremendous skill. Black Beard sent me over and I am very glad he did. You have a great talent in a field that is almost become extinct. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
This is really such a blessing to spend all your time with doing what you love! Imagine waking up and being pumped about you project for the next couple days. Sadly I am really afraid to just completely drop everything, dip into my interests and try make a living out of my hobbies...plus I think you need a little bit of luck next to your hard work to actually make it.
man im always so impressed, youre such an incredible artist... just super glad you guys are continuing to just do what you do and turning out such incredible beauty ! keep inspiring i'm so glad i am subscribed!
That looks so awesome! Just a heads up for future metal working projects, but cast metal tends to end up with a thin layer of residue on it from the casting process. Forged or machined metal won't have the residue on it and it'll be much easier to etch. Idk if there's methods of removing casting residue besides sanding, but it might be worth looking up!
Amazing! This is the 3rd NerdForge video I've watched. I have about 25 pages of a script for a film and have been stuck for over a year on it. Your videos have inspired me to start writing again and I realized that I need to create a "world" for the setting for the film in order to proceed. I watch this video and you're advertising world building software. Keep up the good work!!!
A friend recommended your videos to me and it really was what I needed right now. Thank you for kicking my anxiety and depression to the curb for a few hours. Hej hej från Sverige!
Outstandingly brilliant! Particularly since it was your first time on such a project. I've seen some of your other presentations, and have always find them informative as well as entertaining. A couple of suggestions. Not to make it better - just an alternative version. How about spray painting the upper sections with a black metallic paint with a shiny luster, and the lower sections with a red metallic paint. Instead of leather straps, use metal clasps that would allow you to put two small locks on them. It would give the book an air of sinister mystery - with people asking "What is in that book, why is it locked." One last suggestion - although admittedly, this would be a HUGE undertaking. For the pages, obtain paper that has been written on. Doesn't matter what it would say - although it would be best that the writing makes sense. The best stuff would be Old English-type lettering, giving it a Medieval feeling. If the language was in Latin or a pseudo-Latin, it would give it an additional air of mystery. And for the piece-de-resistance - if possible - etch a title on the front cover.
IDEA: if you ever do this again, or something similar, why not get thin metal sheets, cut them to the size of paper sheets, use your laser engraver (glow forge?) to etch text and designs into each page, and have a time with metal pages and a metal cover.
That was incredible!!! You are insanely talented!!! Also, the round side of the hammer works better for riveting, but both sides get the job done. I wish I had your ingenuity, I would love to have a couple of these around the house!!!
Skjera Bagera. Awesome project Martina. I was astonished how heavy the finished book is since the cover is aluminium. Makes also some astonishing effect on the book shelf. I would like to see a lantern made with that design. I would use blue or purple paper or fabric to cover all the nooks and crannies from the inside in order to let the light shine through.
Something useful for projects like this (etching) and loads of other projects is a vinyl cutter like silhouette cameo or cricut. Then you can easily cut out vinyl decals for masking. More high end ones can even cut leather :)
I just signed up for the World Anvil, literally the coolest thing ever. When you said you were doing an add I thought "noooo pls no adds." I DO NOT regret watching through that one XD
Whaaaaaat?? My fellow italian Black beard projects!! Omg! When i saw the italian stuff i immediately tought of him but i said "na, his projects are usually a bit different from this" .. Awesome collaboration :) now back to see the video (I stopped to comment after a minute 😂)
now, let's have a look at the final result! *epic climax, watchers are excited to finally see the result, everyone is on their toes* ad: tHe nEw mAcbOoK aIR
How incredible it would be if we played DnD and part of our quest would be to find an old dwarven spell book... and suddenly you (as the DM) say "something is glowing in the dark" and then yoy ACTUALLY pull this out!!!!!!! What an AWESOME RPG moment would it be??? Ohhhhhh!! Great job!! I've binged watched all of your videos and each surprises me more than the previous one!!! I'm so happy that I found your channel :D :D!!!
My reaction to every step: “wow that’s beautiful!” Even when it was covered by the masking tape. You carving out the pattern... 🤯 Woman! What are you made of?? 😳
This is so cool!!! And I love Black Beard Projects! 🖤 He makes such cool stuff. Two very talented channels and I think it's awesome how you worked together to make this magnificent project!
That's interesting. I'm on my second year with them, just had two more teeth removed taking my total teeth extracted for the process to 13, my mouths in constant pain with the alien feeling of metal in my mouth.
HEY! Thanks for watching! Check out Black Beard Project's video on how he cast the covers th-cam.com/video/DH74_GkI1Wc/w-d-xo.html !😍

Very "solid" project! I once saw a full metal binding in on of our libraries here that had a chain mail type of construction made out of silver-copper alloy to keep the spine flexible. The tragic thing was that somebody had left the book open without closing the clasps and the parchment inside swelled too much for it to be ever closed again.
I have no practical experience but doesn't the parchment shrink to its original dimensions if you get it good and dry? Or is there a cracking hazard?
@@brocktechnology The problem was mainly the wrinkling, that's where the swelling of the book came from. Parchment achieves its smoothness by drying under a lot of tension and then cut to size.

Your videos have inspired me to start writing again and I realized that I need to create a "world" for the setting for the film in order to proceed. I watch this video and you're advertising world building software. Keep up the good work!!!
A friend recommended your videos to me and it really was what I needed right now. Thank you for kicking my anxiety and depression to the curb for a few hours. Hej hej från Sverige!
Outstandingly brilliant! Particularly since it was your first time on such a project. I've seen some of your other presentations, and have always find them informative as well as entertaining.
A couple of suggestions. Not to make it better - just an alternative version. How about spray painting the upper sections with a black metallic paint with a shiny luster, and the lower sections with a red metallic paint. Instead of leather straps, use metal clasps that would allow you to put two small locks on them. It would give the book an air of sinister mystery - with people asking "What is in that book, why is it locked."
One last suggestion - although admittedly, this would be a HUGE undertaking. For the pages, obtain paper that has been written on. Doesn't matter what it would say - although it would be best that the writing makes sense. The best stuff would be Old English-type lettering, giving it a Medieval feeling. If the language was in Latin or a pseudo-Latin, it would give it an additional air of mystery. And for the piece-de-resistance - if possible - etch a title on the front cover.
I feel like we should be expecting a fantasy-style wizard’s bookcase/library build someday
IDEA: if you ever do this again, or something similar, why not get thin metal sheets, cut them to the size of paper sheets, use your laser engraver (glow forge?) to etch text and designs into each page, and have a time with metal pages and a metal cover.
Just adore you and your channel. My house is filling up with your projects. Even a camper van conversion. X
That was incredible!!! You are insanely talented!!! Also, the round side of the hammer works better for riveting, but both sides get the job done. I wish I had your ingenuity, I would love to have a couple of these around the house!!!
every time they post a video I think "they can't ever top this" and then they DO
Skjera Bagera. Awesome project Martina. I was astonished how heavy the finished book is since the cover is aluminium. Makes also some astonishing effect on the book shelf. I would like to see a lantern made with that design. I would use blue or purple paper or fabric to cover all the nooks and crannies from the inside in order to let the light shine through.
AWOOGA
It greatly lightens my heart, in this technical age, to see someone so young get so excited about a book. THANK YOU! What an awesome creation!
I just finished making my first book and then this pops into my recommended. Time spend my whole week on a project im not ready for.
The way her face lights up before opening the package SO CUTE! 🥺🙂☺️
SO COOL!!! 😍🤩😃
...can you make another out of bronze? 🤔😁
I love how thorough you are with all that you do. As I've made my own books, you make it look easy
Also, HOLY F*** that thing is epic.
Ahhh... The great book of grudges, Thorgrim Grudgebearer would be pleased to have it.
Something useful for projects like this (etching) and loads of other projects is a vinyl cutter like silhouette cameo or cricut. Then you can easily cut out vinyl decals for masking. More high end ones can even cut leather :)
I want to be as good at engineering and building like her. She is such a successful person.
This is freaking incredible. Amazing work you guys!
I just signed up for the World Anvil, literally the coolest thing ever. When you said you were doing an add I thought "noooo pls no adds." I DO NOT regret watching through that one XD
Suddenly the casting portion of this was dwarfed, amazing build
I like the hair. That's all I'm saying.
I love how much work and care you put into each video/creation
This is one of the most incredible things you have ever made!!
Absolutely magnificent. What a journey it was to follow the making of the metal cover.
Whaaaaaat?? My fellow italian Black beard projects!! Omg! When i saw the italian stuff i immediately tought of him but i said "na, his projects are usually a bit different from this" .. Awesome collaboration :) now back to see the video (I stopped to comment after a minute 😂)
So great to see that the best of you work together, people like Nerdforge, Blackbeard and My Mechanics.I hope to see more of this cooperations.
now, let's have a look at the final result! *epic climax, watchers are excited to finally see the result, everyone is on their toes*

How incredible it would be if we played DnD and part of our quest would be to find an old dwarven spell book... and suddenly you (as the DM) say "something is glowing in the dark" and then yoy ACTUALLY pull this out!!!!!!! What an AWESOME RPG moment would it be??? Ohhhhhh!!
Great job!! I've binged watched all of your videos and each surprises me more than the previous one!!! I'm so happy that I found your channel :D :D!!!
My reaction to every step: “wow that’s beautiful!” Even when it was covered by the masking tape. You carving out the pattern... 🤯 Woman! What are you made of?? 😳
Love it, you're so talented. Painting, making books, whatever idea you come up with is always amazing.
bruh, that is one THICCCCCC book!
That is magnificent! Looks like what I imagine when Gimli is reading from the book in Balin's tomb!
This is so cool!!! And I love Black Beard Projects! 🖤 He makes such cool stuff. Two very talented channels and I think it's awesome how you worked together to make this magnificent project!
I am so amazed at how open you are to new mediums and methods. You are such an inspiration!
As someone with braces, I feel sorry for you right now.
why?
That's interesting. I'm on my second year with them, just had two more teeth removed taking my total teeth extracted for the process to 13, my mouths in constant pain with the alien feeling of metal in my mouth.
@J Fz You're lucky, I literally spent two weeks with a swollen jaw, living off Panadol and codeine. It was a full on surgery.
This is an absolutely incredible work of art. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!
Hi, a few days ago your video appeared in my Playlist and I Don t know why but I was really happy...
You do great things
Kisses from Rome
I just watched one of black beard's restoration videos and im glad he helped you out! Thats awesome that underrated tubers accompany each other 😊
