Hi, so glad i came upon your tutorial! I am starting a rather ambitious altered book project with a book that measures 18 in tall, 12 wide and the spine is currently about 1.75 inches. The text block will remain but will be thinned out. Do you think this method of widening the spine can somehow be used without removing text block? With such a tall book? I suppose I would be cutting the book boards away from the spine, but the spine would still be attached to text block... (sorry for my rather clumsy attempt to explain this, lol) thank you for any thoughts you might have! <3

@@xerylemountain7154 hey there! Thanks for the question. So to understand, you're removing the side panels of the book, thinning the pages, but keeping the spine attached to the signatures of the original book?

I want to make a similar journal for my December memory keeping this year so this is perfect. I'm watching it through once just to get the overall idea of it and then I will have to go back and watch it again step by step. I'm sorry about the fires :( We are having a terrible drought here in NH and there have been lots of wildfires here too (not as big as yours of course) but it does make the air quality awful.

I've made soft covers and used an elastic binding to hold the loose folded pages. You could also do a hinged binding journal. Then after the journal is made glue the felt+fabric around the outside folding it onto the front/back pages.
