Bookbinding Cloth Corners // Adventures in Bookbinding

[@berolinastrassmann]

Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. I appreciate how exact and clean you work. I can't seem to finish a session without sticky fingers 😂😂. Hope you are doing well. I noticed that it's been a while since you posted new videos. I am enjoying watching the back catalogue. Such a treasure trove. Thank you so much, again.

Developing the "eye" to cut corners is a great skill and saves so much time. The rule of 1.5 x board thickness works well. If unsure bend the uncut cloth up at the corner to reassure yourself that the cloth once cut will go over the board. Keep well, stay safe

[@shirleydick996]

I always over-cut and test my mitres by folding the cloth over dry first. If using commercial paper-backed bookcloth this will leave folds in the backing that help decide where to cut.If you're working with loose-weave fabrics then be extra generous because of the risk of fraying and the potential need to pull threads away for a tidy finish.

Many thanks for your video, I really found it very helpful. This is the best video on this topic on KZbin 🙏

[@marybarratt2649]

I like the tab method and will give it a go. I must say this is compulsive viewing. So helpful.

[@erykfreethinker7147]

A really useful video [the tab is new to me] and really good for referring newbies to. I am looking forward to the leather corner tuition video. Thank you for uploading.

[@DASBookbinding]

Yep, tab corners are great for big thick springbacks.

[@Leo1406hongkong]

You are a real expert! so inpiring!

I use a variant of the tab method: the tab is simply the cut triangular part that usually would be folded in: it decreases the bulkyness of the confection, it holds the material put and reduces the chances of fraying and it works on most materials.

[@DASBookbinding]

Thanks! I've been using the little triangle tab for vellum. As you say less bulk to show through. All the best, Darryn

Thank you much for making this vid! It’s exactly what I needed!

[@lucianagonzalez8612]

I love your channel! Thank you! It's very educational

[@andrewmiddlemiss8610]

Love the video and also the Rooster 😀💕👍

[@geoffreykeller232]

very informative, thank you

[@marsbeads]

thank you for all your great videos!

[@DASBookbinding]

My pleasure! DAS

[@BlueLineofthesky]

Can you please tell us what cloth are you using in the first part? I really like how it folds. Thank you.

[@Fragkogiannakis_Vasilis]

Thank you!

[@DASBookbinding]

You're welcome!

Первый и третий варианты более аккуратные. Второй имеет пухлые углы. Но во втором варианте углы более защищены от воздействия внешних факторов. Для записной книжки спутника больше всего подходит именно второй вариант. Для укрепления углы можно нагреть феном, после чего зажать между двумя не агдезирующими поверхностями. Это уберет припухлость углов. Снимите напряжением полимера и скачет его там где он соприкасается сам с собой. Перед использованием метода лучше попрактиковаться на пробирке.

[@noyb154]

seems like you could eliminate the bulk altogether on the tab method by cutting an additional strip of "tab" to fill in along that entire edge.

[@-----REDACTED-----]

I presume the library corner can also be used in paper covers? I plan to use elephant hide type paper which I may print on a marbled paper pattern.

[@DASBookbinding]

Absolutely! That reminds me a project I've got to put on the list. All the best, DAS

[@-----REDACTED-----]

DAS Bookbinding Awesome! I look forward to see that project! As always: thanks Darryn!

[@shanthegem1644]

What card stock was used?? What glue was used. And what paper/material was used to cover the inside of the book between the card stock and the pages?

[@DASBookbinding]

I don't think I used cardstock in this video. The adhesive was PVA. Yours, Darryn

[@wovenscrolls]

How do you feel about using metal (pre-made) corner protectors?

[@DASBookbinding]

I'm not a fan. They damage books around them. But just because I don't use something no reason you can't.

[@wovenscrolls]

I usually use chromed corners which are fairly smooth, but I still understand what you mean. Thank you for your insight!:)

[@TheHihocandycane]

Did you glue the cloth to the whole front of the board or just the edges? Thank you for your videos, they're the best!

[@DASBookbinding]

The entire board. I only drum on in a few special cases. DAS

[@kraftyiam]

Howdy, may I ask what kind of brush is it that you are using to spread the glue? I've never seen the tongue tab before. It does make for a nice corner on thick boards.

[@DASBookbinding]

That corner is the standard for vellum too, or a slight variation. I'm not sure the brush is made any more. I bought it from Hewits originally, but it's a german made brush. www.hewitonline.com/Wooden_Paste_Brushes_p/br-090.htm Ciao, DAS

[@kraftyiam]

@@DASBookbinding Thank you for your quick response, and general responses. They do still have it. Now I know what to look for. Thank you! Be safe.

*4:16** Rooster!* 🐔

[@DASBookbinding]

I miss that old rooster. He got sick earlier this year and died. On some very early videos I used to have a short clip of what was going on outside and I think he made a short appearance. The new rooster doesn't measure up to that old fella. But it is nice having one around. DAS

[@cloudywon]

@@DASBookbinding RIP to the old rooster

[@vincentconcepcion5055]

May I know what is the name of the cloth you are using? Thanks

[@DASBookbinding]

That is Arbelave buckram cloth. All the best, DAS

[@-cat-2244]

May i please know what kind of cardboard you use? Thank you kindly

[@mediocremel201]

Where do you purchase your binder covers? The 2mm And if I needed custom size, do you know a good supplier? Thanks! Love your videos by the way. I've been watching all your bookmaking videos!

[@DASBookbinding]

I buy large sheets which I cut down to standard sizes with a big board shear. Before I had the board shear I just used my trusty Olfa knife. The large sheets aren't very expensive and you get lots of book covers from a few sheets. In US I would get it from Talas and in the UK Hewits. All the best, DAS dasbookbinding.com/2020/03/27/bookbinding-suppliers/

[@mediocremel201]

@@DASBookbinding thank you!!! Happy Saturday

[@pilar808]

Can it be use for rounded corner?

[@DASBookbinding]

Rounded corners on boards, if large enough, are probably best pleated. But if they aren't too large the universal (aka library) corner can work.
