After watching sooooooo many of your tutorials, it was a treat to watch you make this kit. Your decision to use a common brush and little bowl of glue was wonderful. How thoughtful you were to take care to use things that would be available to anyone and to keep the terminology simple yet comprehensive. Regardless of how much I have learned from your other videos about glue brushes, special rulers, pressing boards and adhesive types, it is nice to know that there are safe entry points to bookbinding for every level. Once again, well done!,
Hello. In old books, a sheet of thin translucent paper is sometimes placed between the flyleaf and the title page. Could you show us how and at what stage this is done? Thank you.
This is such a good question I've added it to the list of videos to make. It's glassine paper and it usually protects a plate that is added as a single sheet. I think it is tipped to the plate and then the plate is usually wrapped around the section. So, added after the sections are folded but before sewing.
5:19 Wouldn't a granny knot be preferable to a square knot in this application? The ends of the quare knot go parallel to the knot, in this case perpendicular to the spine, while the granny knot has the opposite (or half a pi 😉) topology. Since we glue the spine anyway, the potential slippage of a granny knot is immaterial. 🤔😏 9:09 I noticed that joining the two first sections you did the joining stitches reversed (one up, the other down) for symmetry, but not here, joining the third section to the two previous, where you did both stitches from right to left. 🤔 I presume it does not matter, or is there a difference in appearance or structural stability? I have paid attention enough to your videos to know that making the kettle stitches consistently the same way makes a nice pattern, but perhaps that is not worth worrying about since nobody will ever see the outside stitching on the middle two holes. 😅
Yes, a granny knot would be fine for the reason you mentioned. I've mostly stopped using a square knot to jon the first 2 sections. I leave it and go back after the rest of the book is sewn and do a double kettle stitch. I'll demo it in this weeks video. I usually go inside out for kettle stitches. I sometimes mix it up because I get bored. On some stationery bindings I do supported kettle stitches. These are fun! Happy binding!

Nice tutorial…the best thing about this is a lot of crafters would have similar products in their stash to make this note book. I might give it a go.
Thank you for such a great video. Has helped me lots.

@@DASBookbinding Thank you for the detailed response and I look forward to your new videos.

😍🤩😍🤩
were those section holes sawn?
I think I punched them. Only in special cases do I saw sewing holes. It has dropped out of fashion.
