Bookbinding Basics Video

[@Opalbird1]

What a great teacher you are. No superfluous wording, so direct and exact. It was a pleasure to learn from you.

[@dsudrich]

good job

[@trudyfong2826]

This is the best book binding demo I've found!

[@cloro-8243]

true

[@luna-kiva]

Me too! Most definitely.

[@jayroland9481]

Excellent demonstration. One tip I would offer is the use of a bamboo skewer to rest in each of the gutters either side of the spine upon final pressing, this ensures the gutters are well stuck down.

[@erykfreethinker7147]

Thank you for uploading. A good tip is to place a sheet of waxed paper next to the book-block and over it a sheet of blotting paper next to the cover when drying after casing in. Also to explain to viewers that the distance between cover boards and the spine board changes with respect to the size of the book and to the thickness of the cover material. I realise this is a tutorial that is aimed at a kit but after learning with the kit people may want to go on to create many styles of book.

[@luna-kiva]

Thanks for the tip. Glue can be messy. And the beauty of this is that one does not need a kit to do this.

[@erykfreethinker7147]

@@luna-kiva You are welcome :)

[@seanluis2735]

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. You covered everything and it never felt rushed. You are an excellent teacher.

[@christopherlamonica7982]

Thank you, very well done. No pretense, direct, just perfect.

[@judyconstantino7035]

That was an excellent video! Thank you so much for such clear and concise instructions.

[@gautambarua8260]

Excellent. One of the best in KZbin.

[@elkay7740]

you look so passionate about bookbinding its truly heartwarming!

[@orieldel]

Hi, wonderful video on bookbinding. I am writing my life story and have been undecided on how to 'make a book' cover for it. Was going to do a Coptic stitch cover, but I think your cover will be much sturdier and more professional. Your instructions are so clear, no noisy music etc and all the tools needed are what craft people usually have or are easy and not expensive to acquire. Thank you for this video.

[@anitawaller6532]

Best video on bookbinding I’ve seen. Loved it, so clear. Thank you.

[@lucytyson6275]

The best book/journal making tutorial on KZbin ever. You explained every step so well, it was easy to understand. I also like how you provided substitutes and also demonstrated how to do those as well. Thank you for sharing this video.

Thank you! Great video!

[@johnmaxwell1305]

wow!! very nice , I like it

[@mamaluvs2dance]

Definitely one of the better tutorials out there - well paced, sufficient explanations and clear instructions. My only question would be is there a certain calculation to determine the width of the spine of your book? (i.e. is it equal to the width of the signatures stacked together?) Also, is the fabric for the head bands the same as the muslin and if not, what should it be? Thanks for a great lesson!

[@tawandasue]

Great tutorial! Saw you st Gruene this weekend. Best of luck! Maren Raines

[@gwenwiedner3392]

Just found you and enjoyed your video! Thanks for all the help! I just subbed and will be watching for more.

[@TheDunroaminfarm]

Very professional

[@susanscandles]

Excellent video!! You did awesome job in taking it step by step and explaining clearly as you went. Now SO excited to try one. Need to know best paper to use. Do you use card stock too or like fabric better. Want more videos and one on stitches you can use. Thank you!!😊

[@jayde1708]

[@ricky123asd1]

Great video!! The Best tutoriial!!

[@kiwanoish]

Can't believe it took this long to find a descent tutorial on this. All the others try their hardest to just make things look neat. This is by far the best and most informative! Thank you! Any suggestions on making a thicker book (ca. 600 pages) this way? Just follow the same recipe? Any software that will rearrange my pdf according to how many signatures etc. I want?

[@mikezinn7212]

kiwanoish Check out tutorials by DAS BOOKBINDING.

[@khalilullah9929]

[@joedee6768]

You are the second person I watched about book binding. The first the man did no talking . I rather as you did tell me what you are doing. I do have a couple of questions. What weight of paper are you using for your pages. And what type of thread are you using? Thank you for sharing

[@marcusaurelius1477]

You need more videos 😂
