I'm watching to do the same thing. I have an old KJV version I have owned since I was around 12 years old. I'm now 50, and it has been well-read. The cover came off a long time ago. This video, I believe I can redo it.
You did such an amazing job with this bible my dear Brother. I am very blessed to be able to use this bible as my daily driver each day (which means I use it everyday)😉 I am so excited to save up for my next one. I pray God will continue to use you to bring Glory to His Kingdom ✝️💜🛐
@@m3rcynside458 Jim has amazing skills and his love for the Lord shows through each step he takes with all of his bibles.... I am so very blessed to be able to own this one of kind unique bible that was created with so much love & passion📚. It's my favorite bible for this reason alone I get to watch each step of how it came to be bounded with such care. I do hope one day you too will be able to own one too. 💜✝️💜
You are right. She is a special lady. I regularly watch her channel. I saw this Bible there and thought it was so pretty! Its nice to know more of it's story.
Very Nice! I have a Open Bible from 1981 and the leather is damaged and it really could use a new cover. So my question to you is i f you still do this kind of work and if you are able to rebuild mine ?
Love your rebind videos! I have just began my journey into rebinding as a hobby. 1. The duct cloth used for spine reinforcement, is that book cloth in particular or some other product? 2. How does one shop for the inside cover liner material, is it just a thinner piece compared to the exterior cover leather?
How do you create that marbling effect? I have searched everywhere I could think of to find an instructional. Closest I've gotten is the shaving cream method but I still find that leaves empty spots. If you could please point me in the right direction as I am trying to make my own bible and one for my kids. Amazing work!
I used veg tan goatskin and then wad it up into a ball to put crinkles in the hide. Then mix the dye 50/50 with rubbing alcohol. Then use my airbrush and spray it. I go over it as many times as needed to get the desired effect that I am looking for. You can always spray more for a darker color. Hope this helps.
@@agapebibles7704 thank you so much! I'm actually looking to buy one of your bible cases here soon. In about a week or 2. I pray God continues to bless you in all that you do! Have a blessed day!
@@RyanGrandon My Bibles are not too floppy. I use 2 oz goatskin and 2-3 oz sheepskin. A leather jacket will normally have a 2oz leather. A leather jacket will normally have chrome tanned leather which is very floppy. My leather is veg tanned which is still very soft but has texture.
Very dissappointed you didn't show how you did each step, how U measire or cut and the kind of glue... as I am trying to recover my bible that has litterally fallen apart...no help here..but good job! .

That is one gorgeous Bible, job well done sir!
That is gorgeous!! I want to rebind my Bible with leather, I’m going to try my hand at DIY. It’s falling apart and needs done. Great video!
Unbelievable craftsmanship Jim! Beautiful.
Thank you!
That looks amazing 👏 great job
STUNNING!!!!!
Beautiful job
That thing looks like it’s from another world, great job that’s incredible.
Very Nice! I have a Open Bible from 1981 and the leather is damaged and it really could use a new cover. So my question to you is i f you still do this kind of work and if you are able to rebuild mine ?
What tool do you use to do the piercing to prepare it for sewing? And where might I find one?
A beautiful binding, amazing
Thank you!
Love your rebind videos!
I have just began my journey into rebinding as a hobby.
1. The duct cloth used for spine reinforcement, is that book cloth in particular or some other product?
2. How does one shop for the inside cover liner material, is it just a thinner piece compared to the exterior cover leather?
The "duck cloth" I purchased at Joannes Fabric, it is just a heavy cloth. Inside liner that I use is sheep skin. Very soft and pliable.
I'm not sure if I should glue the spine to the leather cover. It might make it crimpy over time.
How do you create that marbling effect? I have searched everywhere I could think of to find an instructional. Closest I've gotten is the shaving cream method but I still find that leaves empty spots. If you could please point me in the right direction as I am trying to make my own bible and one for my kids. Amazing work!

That is amazing. God love you, god keep you. Do you do any private work if I have a bible that needs? Needs work, can you help me?
A step by step would have been nice.
What are the dimensions of your clamp
Do you have a detailed tutorial from beginning to end?
Do you have a website? How does one contact you I would like to have a bible rebound.
What a cool video!! Can you rebind a hard cover bible in goatskin??
Steve Van Keulen yes I can.
It’s kind of hard to listen your voice when tv or radio is on. Good job.
wow, what a beautiful remind. For you put anything between the liner leather and the cover leather?
No
@@agapebibles7704 how do you keep it from being too floppy like a leather jacket?
thanks for the response, sir.

@@agapebibles7704 ok, thanks. do you have a list of the pricing?
