As a newbie, this is invaluable ! Thank you, sir. Much appreciated and of course I will watch them all 🐈‍⬛

❤ lindo seu trabalho

If I could have had any choice of a career - this would have been it ! Thank you for sharing your skill and wow I am in awe of how those books look ! Just absolutely amazing and beautiful. GOD Bless you for sharing Dear Trevor.

Does the purchased video talk about the chemistry of using the various layers, including Vaseline, and tools and process to get the gold to reliably adhere to the leather?

Great, can you tell me where to buy book binding tools and book gilding tools, and do you have any tips for beginners?

Also what petrol do you use to remove the gold? Thank you.

What are these books and who are you binding them for?

It was lovely spending a little time in your workshop , listening and watching as you shared your skill and knowledge , thank you for taking the time to do so. It’s amazing to think the technology that’s contributed to the demise of such a beautiful craft, may also help to save and revive it, or at least keep its techniques and secrets safe for those yet to come . I have just bought a couple of old book binding tools which I love , your workshop is just jaw dropping, tool envy “doesn’t come close , the display and quantity of beautiful tools nearly took my breath away ! The seeds of your knowledge have now been cast far and wide, I’m sure many of them will find the right place to flourish and grow 😊Thank you again .

Love to watch a master work at his trade... Brilliant.. I'd love to learn is there a shop to buy tools?

Dear Mr. Lloyd, A truly fascinating video about ploughing a book! Thank you very much for demonstrating the proper technique. As I learned from my father, this like many of the other steps in bookbinding is a métier requiring a steady hand, attention to detail and patience. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!.

That is a big book. I love your videos! Would like to see more of you working on your books :D

That was so very interesting - thank you for sharing your trade - excellent workmanship!

Beautiful !!

Beautifully done! Is the paste wash the same thing as size? And what did you use to remove the unwanted gold and why did the tooled gold hold? Because it was heated? Thanks, great video!

I always wondered, what is the use of gold to hold on to the skin? , what do you have in that glass with which you put on the second book what is ready to be gilded? Thanks for the reply! I am surprised by the dexterity with which you put the letters, this must have many years of experience

Fascinating!

Excelente video gran destreza y dedicación realmente aprendo mucho. aunque realizo trabajos de encuadernación con medios mas moderno pero su metodología me ayuda bastante

what are all the tools you're using called? I want to get into book binding myself, and I would love to be able to acquire such tools

May I ask where did you buy your tools from?

This is a level of expert craftsmanship that I can only dream of achieving -- not just in bookbinding, but in anything. Thank you for sharing with us your secrets!

Thank you so much for sharing your gold tooling technique. Great video and wonderful calm commentary. The gilt edge is head only? Thus denoting the head and no upside down tooling? Thank you again

Do you foil book block edges and is so do you have a video on your method please?

make Makes me thirsty; ready for a Ploughman's lunch and a pint of Guiness...cheers !

Probably the greatest video on youtube on this subject. Great Work!! It will help me a lot in my small projects. Hope to see more videos coming from you!!

There should be some closeup shots of the titles when finished. Joyce Dreyfuss

Superb skill and craftsmanship, part of what made Britain great. No machine can match the British craftsman.

Great video, but it would be awesome to have the things you used put into description. I need to know exactly what liquids you used and the gold sheets

Hi merry christmas, 🎄2021 Iraq bagdhad.

I want to apprentice under this wonderful man

So, I came here from DAS Bookbinding and notice that you subscribe to one of my favorites--Rick Beato!!! 😄

My Hearings not perfect but muffled sound is most annoying 🤷‍♂️

Should add I may have to be inventive since I am on retired and on Social Security. do have referrals to making own tools and tables and such? Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I am building up my tools and supplies and would like to know where I may procure some what was featured in your video. The heater, and hand tools and letters etc. Thank you for any information you have.

What is your stamp heater called? I’ve been searching everywhere for something like it, but no success.

Hi Trevor. I purchased your video on gold tooling and it's been great. My only question though is making the gold eraser. I've cut up a crepe eraser and added paraffin oil but nothing's happened. Been about 3 days. Are those the materials that you used or did I get something wrong?

If your already using glair what is the benefit of using vaseline as well?

I would advise anyone to purchace Trevors DVD lessons on his website. Great teacher. Thorough in his explanations and processes.

Thank you for making and sharing this video. Could you please tell me what brand of 'gold rubber' you used to remove the excess gold leaf with, and is it called gold rubber?

عمل أكثر من رائع Very good work...

What a great video! Thank you for sharing it. I'm an soon to be master bookbinder from Finland, although feel like such a novice still :) But it's about continuous learning, right? It is so great to be able to find videos like this, since there's not that many places to learn this kind of skills.

Hi Trevor thank you for the great video. Could I please ask if you are able to tell me how to make a paste wash. Also are you able to perhaps give me an idea of how to make my own glaire and how long does one leave the glare on for before tooling? Some of the ready-made glaire you can buy suggests 24-hours. you so much

I want to learn this having the equipment and was hoping to see the results, just hold the book up to the camera, nope . . . just add the book to the pile! Some good information though. Next film, display the work.

This has helped me so much, thank you!!

Hum, close-up, maybe? Dit looks interesting but couldn't see anything

What a fantastic video, what kind of glue or paste is it that you are using also you mentioned the clear coat that you apply at the end what is it exactly? The work is beautiful...

Thanks for sharing. I did video about it in Paris, was really interesting. Best of luck.

Congrats. It´s a amazing job. Greetings from a colleague by profession from Albacete, Spain.

Trevor, I’m looking to buy a leather bound book collection of all the classics to pass down to my children. Do you have any recommendations on companies that make quality leather bound books? Thanks.
