@@TheFridayForge I would love to work on some hardcover books. I’ve thought about going to my local library and seeing if I could help repair their books for some experience. I’m working on my third Bible today and appreciate the content you’ve posted.
What kind of leather for cover and source? Your video was top notch in production. When I read "First try at rebinding" I almost skipped this. However, as someone considering this as a "hobby/side gig," I am glad I didn't. Thank you so much!
It's called a few different things, but this is what I used: amzn.to/4fMiH4v They call it super. Some people call it mull. Either way, it works pretty well for what I'm doing :)
Awesome job! Im practicing to repair my wifes bible. If it looks half as good when I'm done, I'll be happy. How did you get the holes around the corners so evenly spaced? Do you have a round punch?
Thank you! For punching the holes I just used the stitching chisels that came in this set: amzn.to/3RvAVuW When it came to the corners I just used the smaller chisels. Good luck! It’s nerve wracking but very rewarding when you’re finished 😊
i loved how it turned out! i really need help in my bookbinding so i hope this gets answered. what material did you use for your liner? how thick is it?
So the liner is leather as well. It’s a bit thicker than I think is typical. It was just some that I already had. We’ve done a few bibles since this one and we’ve been using .5 mm thick leather for it. It’s been working great so far 😊
What material is the liner? I have been using leather for both clver and liner But you seem to have used a stiffer type of paper rather than leather for the liner
It got beautiful!
You people always making the corners look easy. I struggle with corners. Awesome video and craftsmanship.
Trust us. We struggle with them too. If hardcover bibles were more popular it would be the only way we would make them lol

Great question. It’s a designer leather from Tandy. The blue makes it 100% not look like leather lol
