Excellent demonstration. One tip I would offer is the use of a bamboo skewer to rest in each of the gutters either side of the spine upon final pressing, this ensures the gutters are well stuck down.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. You covered everything and it never felt rushed. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you for uploading. A good tip is to place a sheet of waxed paper next to the book-block and over it a sheet of blotting paper next to the cover when drying after casing in. Also to explain to viewers that the distance between cover boards and the spine board changes with respect to the size of the book and to the thickness of the cover material. I realise this is a tutorial that is aimed at a kit but after learning with the kit people may want to go on to create many styles of book.
The best book/journal making tutorial on TH-cam ever. You explained every step so well, it was easy to understand. I also like how you provided substitutes and also demonstrated how to do those as well. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hi, wonderful video on bookbinding. I am writing my life story and have been undecided on how to 'make a book' cover for it. Was going to do a Coptic stitch cover, but I think your cover will be much sturdier and more professional. Your instructions are so clear, no noisy music etc and all the tools needed are what craft people usually have or are easy and not expensive to acquire. Thank you for this video.
What a fantastic tutorial! I really, really enjoyed watching your video. Your instructions were perfectly explained and made making a homemade book look achievable. I've subscribed, liked and bookmarked your vid so that I can gather the correct materials and have a go myself. I can't wait. You are a brilliant teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you've inspired me. Best wishes, Kate :-)
Thank you for sharing how to make a book, the instructions were very clear, I don't know why there are any thumbs down for??? I guess you can't please everyone, but I thought the video was very good, thank you. Cheers!
Mhairie Lee Yeah, I don't understand it neither. This video is great, not only because of good final result, but because it was achieved with really simple tools.
Really enjoyed your tutorial, agree with others, have watched heaps on topic & yours is best. So disappointed there weren't more, seems there are quite a few who like your style.
Just watched your video and it is wonderful. Loved, loved, loved attending your journal workshop yesterday. You are a great teacher! Thank you for teaching me this lovely craft. Francine Pons
Definitely one of the better tutorials out there - well paced, sufficient explanations and clear instructions. My only question would be is there a certain calculation to determine the width of the spine of your book? (i.e. is it equal to the width of the signatures stacked together?) Also, is the fabric for the head bands the same as the muslin and if not, what should it be? Thanks for a great lesson!
Excellent video!! You did awesome job in taking it step by step and explaining clearly as you went. Now SO excited to try one. Need to know best paper to use. Do you use card stock too or like fabric better. Want more videos and one on stitches you can use. Thank you!!😊
Thank you for uploading. Awesome video. You are the one who sparked my interest in book making/book binding! how do you measure size of end sheets? Also what binder board do you use? Thanks for everything!!
You are the second person I watched about book binding. The first the man did no talking . I rather as you did tell me what you are doing. I do have a couple of questions. What weight of paper are you using for your pages. And what type of thread are you using? Thank you for sharing
Can't believe it took this long to find a descent tutorial on this. All the others try their hardest to just make things look neat. This is by far the best and most informative! Thank you! Any suggestions on making a thicker book (ca. 600 pages) this way? Just follow the same recipe? Any software that will rearrange my pdf according to how many signatures etc. I want?
This is beautiful and your explanations are excellent! Is there more video coming on how to make a label for the spine of a book or maybe that is not something that one could do at home, only reserved for the professionals?
enjoyed this, but why go to all of the trouble to hide the fabric under the cardboard while doing the first part and then setting the good fabric down on the gluey cardboard to glue the 1/2 parts and then push down really hard so the clean part gets pressed even harder on the glue splattered sticky cardboard?
What a great teacher you are. No superfluous wording, so direct and exact. It was a pleasure to learn from you.
good job
This is the best book binding demo I've found!
true
Me too! Most definitely.

Thanks for the tip. Glue can be messy. And the beauty of this is that one does not need a kit to do this.
@@luna-kiva You are welcome :)
