(Bookbinding) Making Leather journal Book

[@lkj974]

Mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I would love to have a journal like this. On the other hand, the drivel I write is completely unworthy of such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I wonder how long this really took to make? Impeccable taste and execution.

[@HollyMoore-wo2mh]

I was thinking the same thing. I am not a writer either I just love books. This one is a work of art.

[@colezen1]

But now I’m interested to read what you write.

[@GenerallyChaotic6839]

@@UliTroyo Imagine like 500 years from now, we're going through some famous guy's stuff and we find a journal, looking through it we see their thoughts on the events going on around them and philosophical stuff, its all well and good until we find a drawing of a meme and some random ass joke beside it.

[@lkj974]

@Tributary House Ltd. Actually, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I just write about my day. Sometimes I talk about what I think about what’s happening in the world, but I am as likely to talk about hemmorhoids. (spelling?). I am thinking about opening up today’s entry with how much I hate the new Mark Trail comic strip. The content hasn’t changed much from the last one, but now he has the “Don Johnson” didn’t bother to shave today look. I never liked the Don Johnson look. The men of my father’s generation shaved every day, had skin like finely tanned leather and smelled of Aqua Velva. The men of my own generation shaved in the shower once a week, no doubt whimpering to their razors “please don’t hurt me”. Anyway, as you can see, not profound at all.

I love how good craftsmanship and well made things are starting to become popular again, I absolutely love how beautiful the vintage stuff are. I find the modern style of things a little bit boring and sometimes ugly, specially with houses, I really dont like those. Thank you for the video, the book looks amazing!

[@LPlFan81]

Modern style of things was developed to enable production of cheap, mass produced things. Mass production enabled much larger portion of population enjoy similar comforts which were previously only accessible to rich people. Books are just one example, cheaper, mass produced books enabled larger masses of people enjoy reading.

Seeing this, now I know why books used to be priceless. They were little works of art.

[@edwardbryan9501]

Personally I wouldn’t write anything at all in that book, just buying and collecting it is enough.

[@lkj974]

That would be like building an instrument and then hanging it on the wall. It’s a work of art in itself, but it isn’t complete until it is used. I guess the difference is that putting ink on paper is permanent. If you play sour notes on the musical instrument, at least they are ephemeral.

I've always wondered how books are made by hand. Seeing the whole process really makes you understand why books used to be an expensive luxury before people invented machines to make them.

[@Alaryk111]

You must also remember that everything was written by hand!

[@vegeta1885]

It wasn't luxury because there were dozens masters in your area and they were competing with each other. Now that we have mass productions, real bookbinders can jack up the price because their handwork are a rare skill. Same with handmade shoes.

Sometimes I can't fathom how we take an animal's skin and a tree and put it together to make something so spectacular. And then fill it with thoughts and emotions for others to read. Humans are so intuitive or either just very vile to create something like this. It's amazing... a beautiful product to look at.

I love collecting fine vintage pieces even though I can't afford most of those art pieces, but leatherbound vintage journals are something that I spend money on , it's just so relaxing to come back home and write your progress on a fine piece of art with a beautiful well crafted pen. But as leatherbound journals are expensive I ll make one of these in my free time with a few pieces of leather that are left after the restoration

[@crookedclown9499]

Something I've always wanted to do is rebind my favourite books in this fashion or to print off every Kindle book I own and bind it in this fashion so I could always keep a physical copy with me. But this journal is truly wonderful. You are incredibly talented!
