As someone without "proper" tool I truly appreciate this video! I have so many project I wanted to do and now I feel more confident in doing them because I DO have the tools you showed. Thanks for not being perfect 💝

[@cortessoy]

I have been thinking of designing my own travelers book and this video has given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@cerealnana]

Totally going to do that pen loop! As someone who has done a lot of leather saddle stitching I just want to say that the method you used is a legit way to do it if you don't have a stitching pony. Also, everyone uses pliers to pull needles through. I have a special fold-out set I keep with my kit. We'll done on all of your mods!

[@JobsJournal]

Thank you so much Nana! I can't believe the way I did it is legit! I'm so glad it ended up working alright! Thanks for your insight! Thanks for watching!

[@dangoflower751]

About pen loop : I use leuchtturm adhesive pen loop for years with iPad Pro cases for Apple Pencil and it holds rock-steady on any surface I ever tried. Seems like much simpler solution until you need something really custom and just solving a problem.

[@shaunyg_]

Excellent ideas! 👏🏾

[@jebaker2]

Thanks so much for watching Richard!

[@inlesinlet]

This is *brilliant* 😭🤩 I have a leather folio that I never use because it fits weird on my notebooks, but it's got the most beautiful leather and I've held on to it because I want to take it apart and re-purpose it. A pen loop like this would be *perfect* for my Pelikan fountain pen! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video, I feel so inspired now!!

[@JobsJournal]

That's awesome Inlé! It defs would make an awesome pen loop for your pelican fountain pen! Thanks so much for watching!

[@yvettedistefano6396]

you've inspired me! I'm gonna make a pen loop too : ) I will cheat and use my sewing machine that sews leather. thx!

[@JobsJournal]

That's awesome! I love that you have a sewing machine for leather! Lucky!!

[@tspacefullstop4161]

Very cool mods Job.

[@JobsJournal]

Aww thanks so much Tspace!!!

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

The sewn pen loop is awesome. The gold file turned out really pretty 💕! I really liked the embossing tool! Thank you for sharing 💗🤗!

[@JobsJournal]

Aww thanks so much Kimberly! I'm glad you think the foiling turned out alright! Thanks for watching!

[@julianp.2233]

Top 3 mods: 1. Add a pen holder 2. Add threads for multiple notebooks 3. Add pockets for cards, stuff and id

[@MandaFandaa]

Seems like the gold foil pen would be hard to write with but you didn’t seem to struggle with it and did a great job. Also great job on the pen loop. You’re braver than me! Lol

[@JobsJournal]

Yes it's easier to use that it looks Amanda! Thanks for watching!

[@gabrielbruce1977]

Hmmm. I have some bookbinding stuff that might work to make a pen loop!

[@bkzwolf]

Are the gold foils still there on the leather?

[@riaz9767]

素晴らしい！ぜひ私も、自分のトラベラーズノートに試してみたいです！ ペンは全部で何本くらい使い分けていますか？ Looks wonderful! I'll try them to my traveler's notebook! How many pens do you use for your traveler's notebook in total? Do use thefor different purposes in accordance to the goal?

[@debbles44]

Where did you get the foiling pen?

[@LaurenFairwx]

Rewatching this video because I’m thinking about making a pen loop and I wanted to ask - how has the gold foiling held up over time? Has it been durable?

[@JobsJournal]

Hi friend! It’s help up pretty well but it has faded quite a bit! My hunch is that it’s not getting hot enough to securely place the foil on the leather! Hope this helps!

[@margyg]

I wuld recommend against the pilot Friction pens. The ink disappears with the application of heat, i.e. hair dryer as an example. Those pens are often used in water color painting for the initial sketch. Then after painting, the application of heat will make the line disappear. Friction pens are good for little kids that want to make disappearing secret messages, just heat.

[@JobsJournal]

What ever works for you! Love using them and if it disappears, you just put it in the fridge and it reappears!
