Thank you so much! This CLEARLY explains how this works. I am a novice book binder, and I needed better instruction for my current repair. I had been confused about the “two and one” idea. Folding the Kraft paper into THIRDS explained everything. (You have won me over; I must subscribe!
I've subscribed to your channel months ago but was just wondering if you're planning any new videos? I really enjoy and appreciate the videos you've shared thus far.
Ps- also in an edge lined bible/book covered in leather i won’t really have a groove/gap/hing since it’s just “cover glued to liner” .. should that spot/hinge area be free of glue? Or does it really affect the opening/closing and/or stability of it ? Thanks either way again!!!!!
You suggested this technique for heavy or much-used books. Would you use a heavier weight paper for the hollow in a heavier book and perhaps a lighter weight paper for a lighter book? I'm probably making a huge mistake thinking I should even try binding a heavy book but I'm planning to try a book about 500 pages so I am wondering how heavy of paper I might use for an Oxford hollow.
Can someone help me with this PLEASEEEE!!!??? 🥴🤣🤣it’s probably common sense and I’m overthinking it I just recently started working w/ leather and recovering/binding bibles but on an “edge lined” bible I’m fixing to put a “tube” in it similiar to this but Since I’m new to all this I don’t have this whole “HINGE” thing down pat and where glue should be in regards to the hinge of that makes sense..for example:: when the “liner tabs” make a “90 degree turn” to be glued to the block, should the actual turn/angle itself have glue on it ?(assuming the corner of the tube would be hitting it as well) or does glue need to be applied to block itself and liner bit LEAVING ABOUT AN 1/16-1/8” gap WITHOUT glue in the TURN/HINGE if that makes sense ? and does it help. Or hinder flexibility? Hod bless either way and hope to hear back. Take care !!
Hello, would you mind posting a link to where you get your paper for the Oxford hollow from? I'm attempting my first rebind and want to make sure I use good paper.
Do you know of a good way to do this on a book with a flat spine? I always do it on my books but they’re always rounded and I have a project that requires the spine to be perfectly flat.
I love your videos, and I think it wonderful of you to share your knowledge and experience. However, if I may suggest one little improvement….limit the use of the word “basically.” I am just teasing you a little,basically.

Thank you for the video!! Does it make any sense to use an oxford hollow on soft cover books or is it just useful on hard cover ones?

I think you can layer things up. Use a heavier construction paper or 65lb.

Oxford hollows work on flat spines as well.
which part goes on the spine, the double overlapped section of the tube or the single section?
The single section goes on the spine.
@@AnnesiBindings thank you!
Does it have to be pva glue?
Yes. Regular white glue is not flexible enough.
