Thank you so much. I've been utilizing part 1 and 2 of this tutorial the past couple nights for a journal project for my older sissy. I'm using paper .. but a decent amount of this info. transfers! One day I will be brave enough to try this out with cloth!
I find all your bookbinding tutorials superbly done, and useful resources for the bookbinding courses and workshops I take. One query, as I plan to make my first Japanese stab binding, regarding the thickness of the text block. When doing exposed spine long-stitch books, I customarily measure the thickness of the text block; in this format, I'd of course measure re the gauge, but do I need to allow a bit extra in the cloth cover to accommodate the text thickness?
Thanks again. I would be interested in your press as well as meeting you in person. Unfortunately logistics is a problem considering the distance between Amsterdam (where I live) and NYC. A pity too that TH-cam won't let me share the url to pictures of my books. I'd love to share that with you.
Continuing... I use paper covered bricks as a movable support when I have to support a text vertically, open the board you are working on, lifting that from the table top if necessary with a pressing board or two. About paper a general rule is that the thinner and shiner it is the more you should avoid it. The laser paper should be okay, but it should be watched until the glue sets. I usually use cover weight papers for endpapers.These comments are for Japanese bindings. Thanks for watching. S.
Sage, can you please help me telling me where i can find those tools you are using? i mean in what kind of store should i get them? thanks a lot and congratulations your videos are just the best.
Cover weight could be 80 -200 gsm, If the paper feels like a board it's probably too heavy. this is for folded endpapers. jap-binding papers are just lining the board with a sheet and can be any weight. I am selling one of my Nipping presses, $300. pick up in Staten Island can't ship, too heavy.
Your videos are very well done. Your explanations are very thorough and easy to understand (and follow). Thank you very much. I have a few questions. What type of fabric are you using? Do you use a combination of wheat paste and PVA glue? Are you using a foam roller?
Thanks Sage for all the helpful advice. I will try to find an affordable nipping press. It seems to me this will be the best and most efficient way of getting good results. Btw, what would 'cover weight' be in gsm?
Thank you Sage for your tutorial, it inspired and helped me to create my own books. One problem I have is that the paper that I glue on the inside of the bords easily blisters due to the moisture. Despite applying pressure (under the weight of some books). Are some paper types perhaps not suitable for glueing? I've used quality laser printer paper.
You should look for a local Library Supply house. If you are buying in quantity, 50 lb lots try Ernest Schaeffer in Union New Jersey. for smaller quantities , try Talas online. Thanks for watching. Tip the tutor if can or want to. Thanks.
That's not an unusual problem when you don't have a nipping press to apply 'aggressive' pressure. The work around is to glue out the lining paper, place it on the board, lightly rub it down with a folder through a protective paper so you don't burnish the end paper. Look at the paper a minute later and if any blisters arise rub them down again, that should be the end of rising blisters. If the book doesn't open flat, support the cover on a pressing board, sometimes with the text part vertical.
The Fabric is a Japanese Bindidng cloth, the collection/manufacturer is Asahi available from Talas. It's all PVA with water as a dilutant. Please see my video on Glue and Roller Basics.
The boards are made to fit the book block, it wouldn't make sense to give you numbers as I don't use them in binding. You will notice there are no rulers in my videos except as a longer straightedge to guide cuts or for scoring. Everything is made to fit by laying parts together and making judgements or using gauges made from the materials I am using. thanks for watching.
Sage, sometimes when I cut corners of the book cloth, the amount of cloth is not adequate to cover corners of the book board ... any suggestions? A simple tip will do. Thanks!
You should always let the cut fall 1 and a half board's thickness from the corner of the board. That way you are always covered, if you are unsure, it is always better to be generous and have a little too much fabric. Have fun and thanks for watching.
I use Davy Board. this was probably about 86points (thickness). Depending on where you are, you may have a local binding materials supplier. On line go to Talas Online. If you use a lot , 50 lb bundles, go to Ernest Schaeffer in Union, NJ. Thanks for watching.
+Fredrik Lloyd - If you are working with textured fabric you will abrade your skin, aside from that, if you have a smidge of glue or something else on your fingers or thumb, you will make a long mark. Pinching will press the fabric with more pressure and the pinch also pushes the fabric tighter on the edge of the board. Thanks for watching!
Larry Shawn Bassham I have done on occasion. It depends on what is needed for the job. (for some fabrics all that is necessary is for the fabric to be sized with methyl cellulose mixed as I do for Paperbacking Silk) Often I am paper backing silk. There is a video showing how-to in my channel, Paper backing Silk. If you have questions after that , look through the comments first. Thanks for watching.
Yes I had watched the videos and noticed that was the case for silk but was unsure for other fabric as well. I appreciate your response. I am a novice and began experimenting to see what results I would create. Thanks again for your time. I like your videos.

You don't have to do it. Traditionall , Japanese binding is in soft or paper covers. This is a way, because western people like hard cover books, to meet their expectations. Thanks for watching.
Love your videos...there is a big difference between "try to DIY" and real craft...hi from Germany :-)
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Amazing job! Love to watch you doing this. =)
Gracias, señor.

Very easy process for cover binding....
Cover weight could be 80 -200 gsm, If the paper feels like a board it's probably too heavy. this is for folded endpapers. jap-binding papers are just lining the board with a sheet and can be any weight.
I am selling one of my Nipping presses, $300. pick up in Staten Island can't ship, too heavy.

Btw, what would 'cover weight' be in gsm?
thank you for sharing this interesting video
would you mind telling how mutch does it take for one man to do this
?

@@Ceropegia thank you so much Mr sage but I live in India and I tried a couple of stores but couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks so much for the help!
Me gusta toda la información que facilita Sage Reynolds, es buena y práctica....

Awesome album. What is the measurement for the board and the measurement of the cloth
The boards are made to fit the book block, it wouldn't make sense to give you numbers as I don't use them in binding. You will notice there are no rulers in my videos except as a longer straightedge to guide cuts or for scoring.

2:05 -- Are those bonsai shears? In any case, I love this!

You should always let the cut fall 1 and a half board's thickness from the corner of the board. That way you are always covered, if you are unsure, it is always better to be generous and have a little too much fabric. Have fun and thanks for watching.
good work - are you using PVA glue for the boards in this video?
wow nice
Thanks for watching.
What is the name of the board you use????
I use Davy Board. this was probably about 86points (thickness). Depending on where you are, you may have a local binding materials supplier. On line go to Talas Online. If you use a lot , 50 lb bundles, go to Ernest Schaeffer in Union, NJ. Thanks for watching.
Can you tell me what kind of drill you used to punch holes?
It's a simple hand drill with a small, probably a 3/32 or 1/8 bit. Three threads and a thick needle must be able to pass. Thanks for watching!
why do you say pinch not slide when folding and glueing the edges?
+Fredrik Lloyd - If you are working with textured fabric you will abrade your skin, aside from that, if you have a smidge of glue or something else on your fingers or thumb, you will make a long mark. Pinching will press the fabric with more pressure and the pinch also pushes the fabric tighter on the edge of the board. Thanks for watching!
do you adhere paper to fabric for case work?
Larry Shawn Bassham I have done on occasion. It depends on what is needed for the job. (for some fabrics all that is necessary is for the fabric to be sized with methyl cellulose mixed as I do for Paperbacking Silk) Often I am paper backing silk.

please what's called this red case? where can i buy it?
You must mean the book cloth, It is a variety of Asahi book cloth available from Talas on line. Thanks for watching.
thank you sage!
