In a world of cheap paperback books, I think bookbinding could be an addicting but rewarding hobby for me. Love your videos, they keep convincing me to get into it.
i started watching this but i fell asleep and I KNOW it sounds like an insult but i have anxiety, and falling asleep is so freaking difficult at night, imagine how difficult it is for me to actually take a nap. this helped me with 1) install text blocks and 2) take a well deserved nap. thank you so much
Actually, to be a coroner you need to have the same training as an “undertaker” and that takes at a minimum of a year. You work closely with cadavers during that time. It doesn’t take medical knowledge, but disposition of corpses is different from being a medical examiner, which does take medical training.
It depends on where you are. Here, the coroner is an elected position. You must get training on death and causes thereof. The coroner does not know anything about embalming, etc. that an undertaker would, other than what he may have random knowledge of. In larger counties, the coroner may appoint assistants, whose decisions are also recognized by the state.
Thank you so much for showing the Oxford Hollow. This is going to make such a huge difference in my journals, and make them a lot easier to bind, too. I can't get over the fact that I keep watching you and still keep learning more.
My boyfriend loaned me a copy of his favorite book that he previously loaned to his sis, but her dog got a hold of it and the cover suffered the consequences. I’m going to rebind it for him! He’s such a kind man. Definitely going to try on some thrift books before o take a swing at his… thank you so much for this tutorial!
I truly enjoy watching you bind a book. You're so skilled and precise in all your movements and the final result is always perfect and beautiful. I know you've bound hundreds of books in your career by now and it's a joy to watch an expert at her craft. I'd never heard of the Oxford hollow... thank you for the excellent tutorial for it. I can definitely see the difference it makes. Thank you again for this wonderful video. My condolences for the loss of your friend. God bless you. 😊❤️
NIK. You're an angel person. I have my mother's copy of Jane Eyre--now MY copy of Jane Eyre--that has lost its covers long since, and I keep wanting to bind it. My book-binding knowledge is scant at best, and watching your videos is helping me so much! Thank you, thank you! I'm getting braver every time I see one!
@@NiktheBooksmith Oh, definitely! I have a couple dictionaries and a few low-investment books I nabbed up from the library sale. :) This is just a thing I've wanted to do for ages, and I have the tools, so why not?
Thank you for sharing this! I've watched a couple paperback-to-hardback binding tutorials, and yours is the most "accessible" - not a lot of specialist equipment or complicated calculations! I will definitely be using this to preserve my own novels for our library!
I don't know why your videos came up in my feed, but I'm glad they did. I can see how bookmaking could become addictive. Just an FYI. The coroner doesn't actually do any medically stuff. They are more of an investigator. In a coroner's office, a pathologist (who does have medical training) actually handles the medical side. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's never easy to lose someone we care about, but it's even harder when they go suddenly.
Sorry for your loss 😪 A great tutorial, as always. I've always wondered if I could swap out a soft cover for a hard cover. Thank you for sharing your methods x
Heartfelt and warmest condolences on the loss of your dear friend, Nik. I am truly sorry. Sending you love, peace, solace and comfort. Be gentle with yourself. You're allowed to be "out of it" for as long as it takes. Thank you for another amazing video. Your expertise is just stunning to watch. Love and Bless xo
I absolutely loved that tutorial. You explain everything so clearly and eloquently. You really got me on the whole segue into the coroner conversation. I was laughing because it was so far afield and yet felt like we were have a stream of conscience conversation over coffee. LOL. Anyway, loved the bookbinding education!!!!
Oh gosh Nik I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. At least it’s great that you got to spend time with your brother. The Poe book and the Dictionary look like they should be in a library of a British noble property. I always learn so much from you, thanks. Take care of yourself and have as good a weekend as it’s possible.
Thanks Nik ! Learnt about Oxford Hollow today ! Will be using that tomorrow as I repair an Old Engineer's Handbook that belonged to husband's Uncle Frank. All the best from Adelaide South Australia.
Very nice tutorial Nik and a very good explanation of an Oxford Hollow. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and hopefully you have loads of really good memories shared with them. In the UK a coroner is also appointed by the local authority and is usually a lawyer but they may also have medical qualifications. The UK Gov website defines it as: "A coroner is a special judge who investigates unnatural or violent deaths, where the cause of death is unknown, or because the death took place in prison, police custody or another type of state detention, such as a mental health hospital." They do this by listening to testimony from all the relevant experts and also to any witnesses etc.
I really enjoyed watching you recover the book! I"m almost as old as that Poe book (gasp) and I totaly know the feeling of needing a new cover! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend passing. Sending you some love and good juju!
Wow! This was fascinating! I was perusing the ol YT for some way to rebind an old paperback. I am so gonna try this. Thank you. I feel like I just took a Master Class! Learned so much...well done.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED when you said everything is optional; because I used that saying so much myself. Thank you for the video as well as the commentary I hope you are doing well.
Hello and greetings from San Juan, Puerto Rico! First my condolences on the loss of a friend. I am a printmaker and love the art of the book, You were wonderful in your demonstration of converting a paperback into a hard-covered book. you were articulate and humorous which to me was totally enjoyable. Thank you so much, I learned quite a bit. Knowledge is always worth saving.
I am absolutely thrilled to have found your video. I have been watching the book binding process on Les cargo, but her videos are for ASMR. So she has no explanation or teaching. I am so excited to see this tutorial. Also, I have wanted to try this myself, but I didn't want to start a journal making company as that seems like a large undertaking that I don't have time for now. Re-binding my favorite paperbacks into hardcover is a project I could get excited about. I am so excited that you came up in my feed. Thank you very much for the video.
I so love watching you and as a crazy bookbinding hobbyist, i find you also wonderfully informative. Thankyou so much for sharing yourself with the world!
That is really cool! This is a FABULOUS upcycle to paperback books that people may want to keep, like the language dictionaries. I am going to give this a try with a few of my reference book paperbacks that I have.
That last bit was scary. I don't think my hand is steady enough for that! You took an ugly cover and elevated it to a supreme level. If books had feelings, then this one would thank you for giving it another 100 years!
I used this to rebind a book for my very first time (a very well loved copy of The Fellowship of the Ring rescued from a closed library). It’s not perfect, but it’s so cool to have a book I bound myself. Thanks for making this!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. Big hugs to you. I've always wanted to rebind a paperback, I just need to decide which one. Thank you for showing us how to do the Oxford Hollow, I can't wait to give it a go.
Amazing job! I too have an old book that I would love to turn into a hardback. I might have to watch this about a hundred times to get up the nerve to try. 👏👏👏
I'm so sorry about the passing of your friend, Nik. Sending love and virtual hugs from the South (Jacksonville, Fla., you'd love it, we hit 90 today, so no chance of you having blue toes here!).
Not seen your videos before but really love how you did this, very relaxing to watch and seems very approachable. I've always wanted to try bookbinding but I always get overwhelmed thinking of materials.
I love watching you do this stuff!!! You are sooo good!!! I will probably never ever do this, but I could watch you all night!! Also love your crime stories. I am a true crime reader. Thank you so much for allowing me to watch you.
I can only say WOW! I always wondered if there was a way to make a binding like the books come with. Then i find your way of doing the Hollow back, and I am blown away. Thank you! I will try it on a small bible I have had since I was in my teens.😂
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Nik .. FANTASTIC instructions! I love the way you talk through your videos with passion, humor, and pure honesty about what you're feeling in the moment. Thank you!
I have never really watched handmade bookmaking. Your work is beautiful. Who would have thought the dictionary with its meager beginning could be turned into a work of art. Looks like an afternoon of binging on your channel.
Wow! Oxford Hollow. Who knew? This is a wonderful video, Nik. I find myself watching your videos over and over. You're entertaining, you make me laugh, and I always learn so much. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It's been a year now and I hope your memories of her comfort you. 🧡 Kay
Most enjoyable - and entertaining. It's interesting the differences between your US and my UK culture. My chipboard would be your particle board and most unsuitable for bookbinding! Over here the coroner - officially the King's Coroner - needs to have at least five years experience as either a barrister (court room lawyer - the ones you see in wigs and gowns on TV) or a solicitor (general practice lawyer, can present a case in family/lower courts too) and that's to become an ASSISTANT coroner! Going to seek out your video on making headbands now . . . 🎼OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love Feel so fine Walking in the rain with the one I love All mine . . . 😇
Wonderful tutorial and fascinating to learn about the Oxford hollow. For me, though, I don't like the label on the front as it is too asymmetrical with the size of the whole front cover. It's not what you have done, it is this style of book. But lovely to have found your channel today 😊
You are right and there have been stories recently about companies that ask people to donate their bodies and they discovered that they don’t have to have any type of official standing.
Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your friends family🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️ As for this video, omg 😱 what a awesome job. I truly enjoyed learning how to do this. Also I always thought a Coroner had to have a Doctorate Degree, or something to that effect as well. That's an interesting tidbit, to know. I remember my Mom, also said she wanted to become a Coroner. She was a Nurse over 35yrs. I asked her why would you want to change your career after all these years? She said, well at least they won't be able to talk back to you, like some onory patients do.... I thought about it, it made sense, I suppose lol. Thanks for another amazing video. Have a great day🤗
Thank you for explaining the Oxford Hollow. I sort of grasped it, I thought, and now I know I was correct. I really appreciate your clear explanations. I love the result of this project.
This is SUCH a superb, exquisitely well-executed project! So many valuable and useful skills and techniques on display, all consolidated into a single project and video. I love your skillful use of so many tools and supplies, including such things as repurposing and refactoring the machinist's 1-2-3 blocks and clamping-positioning squares. And especially, I LOVE your Maker's Hands, entirely without any kind of vanity manicures! You da one!
I really loved this one and honestly I'm very excited to try doing something like this myself! Your videos and guides are always extremely helpful and inspirational - and the product turned out really beautiful!
Fabulous, Nik! Just perfect! I still use my handy-dandy paperback language dictionaries on a regular basis and, boy, they could sure use a hardcover makeover. You've inspired me! You are an excellent tutor! Thank you! From Cheryl in AZ
Love your videos. You not only give very clear and comprehensive instructions, but you teach how to create a beautiful, durable finished product AND do it in a manner that makes us feel like you're spending time with a good friend. Sorry about your friend and your ear worm.
This was very informative! Especially the part about the coroner! Explains a lot in regards to some of the cases I see down there! Take care of yourself. Sending love and light to you and all your friends.
i enjoy watching your videos so much - your work amazes me and you teach us so well - while watching i always find myself saying - wow i think i can do this - so thank you for all you do Nik - this little chunky dictionary came out so pretty - I am so sorry for your loss it's always very hard - be well and take care of yourself xx
Love the Oxford hollow, really gives my book a finished look. It only my second rebind but this one looks beautiful!!! O ly when I glued in the text book I noticed my cover is crooked! Better luck next time
I have a paperback cookbook from Turkey that’s pretty close to unusable because the binding is too tight. I should give this a try. If it doesn’t work for me I can still take it to Kinko’s so they can guillotine away the spine and spiral bind it for me.

These videos are like Bob Ross but for bookbinding. They’re so ridiculously calming, comforting, and encouraging. ❤ thank you

I listen to certain podcasts -sometimes over and over - for this exact reason.

@@constancepentzer3017Another fun fact! In many places (like my hometown) the coroner also has the authority to arrest the county sheriff!
Truly so very sorry for your loss.
So glad you got to spend time with Brother.
I have a old Edna St. Vincent Millay paperback. I've had it since 1965. It been all over the world with me. I'm going to bind it! Thank you!!

You also need to be a qualified barrister or solicitor with minimum 5 years experience. It takes a long time to qualify here!!
So sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for your videos. You do beautiful work!
I really enjoyed watching you recover the book! I"m almost as old as that Poe book (gasp) and I totaly know the feeling of needing a new cover! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend passing. Sending you some love and good juju!
Watching you do detailed work, flawlessly, is almost like meditating. Especially in this you-tube world where things are so slap-dash. Thank you.

This is really nice Nik. I don’t think I can be so precise!
So sorry 😢 for your loss Nik.. Prayers for you 🙏🏻
This book looks so amazing now! I love ❤️ it!
Oh Nik that was just amazing. Thank u so much for the detailed instruction. And ur sense of humor just is the icing on the delicious cake. ❤
These look so dear and pretty! Great job!!!
Great finished product, yes I learned quite a bit, thank you for explaining the whys & wherefores so clearly in such a relaxed & confident manner.
laughter in the rain....thank you...now its stuck in my head :-)
Loved this!! Very well made! The outcome was beautiful!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Nik .. FANTASTIC instructions! I love the way you talk through your videos with passion, humor, and pure honesty about what you're feeling in the moment.
Thank you!
I have never really watched handmade bookmaking. Your work is beautiful. Who would have thought the dictionary with its meager beginning could be turned into a work of art. Looks like an afternoon of binging on your channel.
Wow! Oxford Hollow. Who knew? This is a wonderful video, Nik. I find myself watching your videos over and over. You're entertaining, you make me laugh, and I always learn so much.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It's been a year now and I hope your memories of her comfort you.

thank you, Kay =)
Did not know about Oxford Hollows until just now.. thanks Nik!
Most enjoyable - and entertaining. It's interesting the differences between your US and my UK culture.
My chipboard would be your particle board and most unsuitable for bookbinding!
Over here the coroner - officially the King's Coroner - needs to have at least five years experience as either a barrister (court room lawyer - the ones you see in wigs and gowns on TV) or a solicitor (general practice lawyer, can present a case in family/lower courts too) and that's to become an ASSISTANT coroner!
Going to seek out your video on making headbands now . . .
🎼OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love
Feel so fine
Walking in the rain with the one I love
All mine . . .
😇
I so enjoy watching you make beautiful book out of the plain. I have two books I want to try some of these tips to recover.
Great tutorial. I have some beloved books that do not come in hard cover versions. But they’ll get hard covers now.
Very cool Miss Nik! You're such an excellent teacher! Thank you!
Great video. Btw sincere condolences...though late..i just happen to see your book binding tutorial. I really appreciate. Thxx
I really enjoyed the video. This process is very cool and the outcome is amazing. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
It looks fab ,thank you for showing us .
Wonderful tutorial and fascinating to learn about the Oxford hollow.
For me, though, I don't like the label on the front as it is too asymmetrical with the size of the whole front cover. It's not what you have done, it is this style of book.
But lovely to have found your channel today 😊
You are right and there have been stories recently about companies that ask people to donate their bodies and they discovered that they don’t have to have any type of official standing.
Flipping eck Nik, that’s gorgeous! Love that technique, thanks for sharing. 🥰Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Never an easy time 😢
Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your friends family🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
As for this video, omg 😱 what a awesome job. I truly enjoyed learning how to do this. Also I always thought a Coroner had to have a Doctorate Degree, or something to that effect as well.

Thank you for explaining the Oxford Hollow. I sort of grasped it, I thought, and now I know I was correct. I really appreciate your clear explanations. I love the result of this project.
Oooh Oxford Hollow here I come! Thanks! 💙
Well done. Very beautiful. I always learn something but putting it into practice is the next step.
This is SUCH a superb, exquisitely well-executed project! So many valuable and useful skills and techniques on display, all consolidated into a single project and video. I love your skillful use of so many tools and supplies, including such things as repurposing and refactoring the machinist's 1-2-3 blocks and clamping-positioning squares. And especially, I LOVE your Maker's Hands, entirely without any kind of vanity manicures! You da one!
You are so inspiring! I’m loving every minute.
i just found your channel and am so excited to start rebinding my books. You're so encouraging and relaxing to listen to!
Gorgeous 😍 👏👏 Condolences for your friend🙏❤
The can in the cup threw me 🤣 This mini book is freaking adorable and very inspiring
I really loved this one and honestly I'm very excited to try doing something like this myself! Your videos and guides are always extremely helpful and inspirational - and the product turned out really beautiful!
Fabulous, Nik! Just perfect! I still use my handy-dandy paperback language dictionaries on a regular basis and, boy, they could sure use a hardcover makeover. You've inspired me! You are an excellent tutor! Thank you! From Cheryl in AZ
I really like the idea of Oxford hallow. Personally it would work well with journals and study books. Thanks for showing that technique.
