Great video, thank you. Your knives are so sharp! Can you do a video on knife sharpening?

@bookbindingtips Ай бұрын

Glad you liked it! Yes, sharp knives are really important for bookbinding when using leather. Sharpening is a bit of a skill that develops over time and I have changed my approach on several occasions. I may do a video at some point, but meanwhile there is a good on on DAS Bookbinding's KZbin channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJrOhX6qmatsbpY Hope that helps!

Very helpful video. I really can make this jig. By the way what red cloth did you use in this video?

@bookbindingtips Ай бұрын

Hi - the cloth I used was a random piece of paper-backed book cloth from my box of offcuts, so I couldn't tell you exactly what it was I'm afraid. I would probably have bought it originally from Ratchfords in the UK however.

Thank you Glenn, this video is extremely helpful to me. Can you please tell me: instead of using an French paring knife to pare down the back of the onlay, could one use a Scharffix?

@bookbindingtips Ай бұрын

Hi - I think it would be risky to use a scharffix and difficult if the onlay is in a large piece of leather. However, you could also sand it instead of using a knife, perhaps using something like a coarse 80 grit Abranet. It will take some time to get flat, but it certainly can be done if you are not comfortable using a paring knife.

Hi! Sorry, I'm not sure which blue tape you are referring to? Perhaps you mean the silicon release paper used to protect the pages beneath when pasting. This is just a waterproof paper which won't stick to the pages, but you can also use acetate or other materials for this.

Hi !! This is a very interesting video - it popped up when I researched how to tape tears in an old bible. For those of us who are less skilled, is there a particular brand of tape you recommend ?? For an 1870s family bible, it needs TLC, from an art museum. Thank you.

@bookbindingtips 3 ай бұрын

Hi and thank you. You should never use a standard sticky tape (such as Scotch tape or Sellotape) to repair pages because it will fail over time, the plastic carrier may lift and the adhesive browns and can soak irepairably into the paper. There is a conservation tape called Filmoplast P paper repair tape which is much better in the long term and not too expensive, though using good quality Japanese tissue and past as I have shown in my video is by far the best solution in most cases. Hope that helps!

Awesome!! Question Though my friend 🤔🙆🏻‍♂️isss the leather tab/hinge on between the hand made paper folio and the marbled paper over it? I appreciate your time either way. God bless

@bookbindingtips 4 ай бұрын

Hi - you could certainly do it that way, but in this case the leather was attached to the back of the endpaper, glued to the narrow edge of the marbled paper that was folded around onto the back of the endpaper. I chose this approach because I wanted to sew through the folded endpaper, the marbled paper and the leather, to make very strong sewing points.

@DebKiwi 5 ай бұрын

Skiving the leather is essential for achieving a nice corner.

@bookbindingtips 5 ай бұрын

Not necessarily using this method - it can be done with full thickness goat leather (ie: 0.7mm or so) and still look nice and neat but of course it depend how delicate you want the board edges to be. If you want nice thin edges to the boards then the leather does indeed need to be thinned in that area.

Could you be specific about your paste? What is the brand, type? What is it made of? Is it specific enough that you would have to order it from a specific store?

@bookbindingtips 3 ай бұрын

I buy my paste pre-prepared from a bookbinding supplier in the UK - usually Hewits. But it is basically a wheat starch paste. You can also get very good rice starch pastes. Some are in powder form, some you have to cook, some already made up and it is down mainly to personal preference which you would use.

@Wushu17 7 ай бұрын

It took me a day or two to build enough confidence to move forward with the corners. I'm working with 2 mil boards and did exactly as you demonstrated, yet my flaps still overlap each other. Is this normal? Initially, I noticed there was going to be a significant about amount of overlapping so I trimmed my faux leather fabric down to 2 mil instead of 3 mil. It reduced the overlapping, however there's still overlapping. Hopefully that 1 mil of trimmed fabric did not render my corners inferior. The corners required some burnishing and could've been better tbh.

@bookbindingtips Ай бұрын

Hi - sorry I have only just seen your message! Yes, this method is only really suitable for thinner materials like cloth and paper. Leather and other thicker materials do bring extra problems - you may like to take a look at my video on one method how to make neat leather corners.

Pretty crazy solution. I'd like to think there are other ways to fix warped boards, as a solution to restoring a old book, or a finished book that already has end papers. Plus if you do a bunch of layers isn't the paste down going to look weird?

@Oreanor 8 ай бұрын

it's not a sudden solution, this is kind of a principle - to paste a compensate sheet that is needed also to align with thickness of leather wraps. Otherwise the endpapers will be noticeably deformed (sure, this is only about binding new books)

@edition-deluxe 9 ай бұрын

What would have prevented this in the first place--leaving to dry longer, more weight, or different materials needed?

@bookbindingtips 9 ай бұрын

You could make board by laminating paper and thin millboard together and the makes it quite stiff. If there is an extra piece of paper on the inside of the board it will pull it inwards a little so this will counter the pull of the leather to some extent. But you almost always have to correct warp a little after the leather has been secured.

I would never recommend using tape. In the video I am using strips of Japanese paper secured using wheat starch paste. And yes, sometimes the tear does lend itself to re-securing using paste without the need for additional support.

Beautiful! I love the look of the sprinkled gold edge. One question. Why do you sprinkle the weak adhesive on the edge, rather than brushing the adhesive over the entire edge? I have seen DAS do this same technique and he puts the adhesive over the entire edge rather than doing the sprinkling. Do you lose more gold by sprinkling? Is there an advantage to sprinkling the adhesive? Thanks. I love your videos. They are very informative.

@bookbindingtips Жыл бұрын

Hi David, I find that by sprinkling the adhesive I get a more even effect. If the glue is brushed all over then there is a risk you may get larger clumps of gold adhering to the edge, and I'm not sure that I want the areas in between the gold to have a coating of PVA. But then there is always more than one way to do things . . .😊
