So the thread does pull the cords into the cut. But the swell comes from the thread not the cords. I do push the sections down either side of the cords regularly, but again, that doesn't really manage swell, just makes it be able to be managed. Hope that makes sense. DAS
Is there any elegant way to add thread on a cord sewing? On tapes you put the weavers knot outside, but it seems like on cords it has to be inside the block.
No one every notices the knot inside. But, some people fray out the ends of the knot. First time I saw this was in a Doves binding and I thought a moth had got squashed. They also used silk thread which may not be the best choice.
I've noticed my instructors sew the end papers last as well. Is there a reason you can't start with the end paper, then the book block, and finally the last end paper?
Can you please explain what material the loops on the top of the cross bar are made from? Also what material do you use on the crossbar for attaching the tapes when you're sewing on tapes? Thanks in advance!
For tape I use some heavy cotton tape and use a safety bin to join. For cords the loops are some sort of braided cotton cord. I think it's thin sash cord, because I bought much more than I needed for using on springbacks. Some people just use a long length of support material and tie that directly around the cross bar. All the best, DAS
When rounding the book these sections have the most force applied to them. If you don't tip them on it is not uncommon for them to shoot forward and for the bit of adhesive on the spine connecting it to the next section to break. Happy binding! DAS
I buy it from paper wholesalers (they sell it in mill reams which have to be cut to size and repackaged) and resell it to the craft bookbinding market in Australia. In the US, Talas has just started selling US letter short grain paper in reams.
I think it was about 1.5 hours including setting up the frame and putting away. In the scheme of things this is an average sewing job. One has to find a way to find something positive in sewing because a bookbinder does a lot of it. Happy binding! DAS
Sıkıştırma aparatından edinmek isterim, yadımcı olursanız memnun olurum, emekli ve eski kitaplarımı yenilemek istiyorum, video çok yararlı oldu, dikim aparatını iptidaî de olsa yaptım ama sıkıştırma aparatını nasıl edinirim bilemiyorum.... Teşekürler ederim şimdiden....

This has some excellent camera work.
I loved!😊
21:30 looks like the linen bites into the hemp cord, keeping the swell under control.

Commented too soon you explain it in 24:00

@@DASBookbinding Thank you!
What is the diagonal line you put on the spine before you sew?
It's to show which end is the head, and by using a diagonal line it helps keep the sections in order.
@@DASBookbinding Thank you for answering.
Ditto what Bushman said.
just wondering, what the purpose of gluing first and last section and the end papers?
When rounding the book these sections have the most force applied to them. If you don't tip them on it is not uncommon for them to shoot forward and for the bit of adhesive on the spine connecting it to the next section to break. Happy binding! DAS
where did you get the paper?

How long in real time did this take
I think it was about 1.5 hours including setting up the frame and putting away. In the scheme of things this is an average sewing job. One has to find a way to find something positive in sewing because a bookbinder does a lot of it. Happy binding! DAS

Why strings over tapes?
Because until the 19th century this was the dominant type of sewing support. Recessed cords was a period between raised cords and case bindings. DAS
