Covering and Lining a Box in One Proceedure

How to cover and line a box in one operation. One piece of fabric covers the outside and inside of the box walls , it's finished by adding a simple rectangle of fabric on the bottom and to the inside floor of the box. I'm using my Magic Triangle (available from my main website) and a teflon folder. The scissors are from Konig sheren. The covering material is black Skivertex in a reptile skin pattern. The boxes are made of 96 point Davy binder's board. (There is a link to purchase the Triangle on the home page for SageReynolds.com)

[@nameless6774]

wow; im so glad to find your videos. What is the name of xour covering material? where can it be purchased?

[@babsa3421]

How do I measure the inside of the box for lining - how much do I subtract from the length of the so the lining fits box? Thank you.

[@Ceropegia]

The inside is not measured, Please watch the beginning of the video and you will see. The cover material becomes the lining, no need to measure.

[@pama.6410]

Would have helped to know how you measured the amount of paper you needed.

[@Ceropegia]

I measure the depth of the box and add material for the flaps, inside and out; I roll the box next to a tape measure or ruler to get the length . ( ex. depth =3" I cut material 7.5" wide and the length 22" plus an inch and a half or so to cut off once the sides are covered.)

[@callemdavies8992]

That looks sooo satisfying!

[@maltharius]

when you cut the material at the corners, did you leave any allowance or did you cut it flush with the box?

[@Ceropegia]

***** I am assuming you are asking about the top edge of the box; once you make the miter cut and open the fabric you will see where the the cuts fall. You trim to the miter cut, the cover material has its own thickness and the cuts hardly ever fall flush with the box, when the cover material is glued and turned into place it all fits as it should.

[@janhulse9518]

is it just an ordinary triangle one can purchase anywhere! and are you holding it flush with the edge to make the slits?

[@Ceropegia]

The triangle is a tool I make, you can get one in my ETSY store SageArt. The orange bar is set so you can make flaps for box covering by setting it at the edge of the small open space, or use the visual width of the bar to cut flaps. Thanks for watching.

[@dontwantone]

I did not find any guidance as the best glue to use to stick paper to wood. Also there was no advice as to how to prevent foxing of the wood by any tannin latent in the wood.

[@Ceropegia]

If you are covering a wooden box, you should seal the box with polyurethane first which will prevent foxing. Then use the PVA adhesive and cover the box. You may need to sand the polyurethane to give it a rougher surface before covering with paper or fabric to give the PVA more surface for stronger adherence. goo luck and thanks for watching.

[@theprofessorfate6184]

[@ColinMurray-z8z]

How do you mesure size of box

[@avcomth]

This "freehand" method is actually more difficult to do than just drawing out the die lines on a computer, then laying the printout over the materials and cutting them. That's how I would do it for prototyping at my factory, neat, precise, and complete. No guesswork, no bizarre master handicraft intuition needed, just using computer precisions to help out.

[@Ceropegia]

Yes, you are probably making hundreds of boxes by machine. None of this is bizarre, just hand craft, tempered by years of serving smaller clients. Thanks for watching.

[@avcomth]

@@Ceropegia Hi, meant no disrespect at all. It's just that you're so good at freehandling that I highly doubt your audience is going to be able to do the same very easily, at least in the short time span of watching this clip. I did see how you pieces together the grayboard frame from seprate pieces to achieve sharp 90 degree corners, that's just high quality work and attention to details---I just use the grooving machines to do the same lazily then use box cutter to etch out the corner pieces. From my experience being involved with rigid boxes at my printing press, the real pros in factories will prototype their boxes freehand just like you. It's just that I couldn't bring myself to achieve the same level of sharpness as you do, so I had to rely on diecutting lines plotout, but this does comes at great advantage because of reproducibility. I also have intimate knowledge about boxes and dies drawing and making and have developed my own formula for sketching out the rigid box cover sheets which is the most difficult part of rigid boxes, especially when you have to run it through automatic machines.

[@kennethehockenberry6754]

Hi Sage, I was wondering where you got your folder... It's not like the one I have nor ever seen... Also the Skivertex paper you're using, can you point me to a website in the U.S.A. that would sell Skivertex paper...

I'd like to use Skivertex for a project similar to what you're showing, but after searching I. can't see how to order just a couple of yards. Do you know where people can order it?

[@Ceropegia]

Sometimes you can ask for sheets for to make samples, but I always did that on the phone with a person. My second suggestion is to ask someone at Skivertex if they have a list of retailers and try to find one in your area. The last time I bought a roll, it was about $180, it's 5 feet wide and I still have a lot left, ( black alligator). Good luck and thanks for watching

hey, i love your setup and tools. Can you tell what triangles and scissors you use, couldn't find these.

I sell the triangles in my ETSY store, Sage Art. The scissors I am using are by Konig Sheren, Bought about 45 years ago and still working like new. I don't think the black ones are still available are there was a silver model which is as good but made of a heavier gauge metal, you might be able to find them with a little research. Thanks for watching.

Hi @Ceropegia are you there?. I would like to know which kind the paper are you using in this video?

[@Ceropegia]

I'm using Skivertex which may be difficult for you to obtain as it is a commercial covering material made for people doing large quantities. Any quality book cloth will work, I would recommend book cloth that is paper backed like Canapetta or the Asahi Japanese cloths that make beautiful boxes. You could also paper back silk like I show in another video. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@kristidavis6193]

How do you measure for the exact amount of material to use when covering a box?

[@Ceropegia]

+Kristi Davis The width of the covering material is approximately 2 and a half times the height of the box when you are covering it like this with the insides matching the outside. ( If the box is really tall you don't need 2 and a half times the height, adding a generous inch will suffice). The length is the circumference of the box plus a half inch (7-10mm). If you are only covering the outside, you need a width of the height of the box plus about 1 inch (25mm). All of this is covered in my other box videos. This video was made to show another method of covering after the other box videos were made and I assumed viewers would have already seen the basic box videos. Thanks for watching!

[@Alexchoco111]

What are the two main materials that you are using? What are the technical names so I can order them. Thank you.

[@Ceropegia]

I don't have enough information here. Is it a wooden box like a toy chest? what are you using to cover it? Since you ask about a nail gun I think this is more a project for an upholsterer.

My friend makes decorative wooden boxes and was wondering how to cut leather exactly to fit inside the lids. The boxes have a somewhat complex shape and he was wondering how to make a pattern of it to cut the leather insert to fit perfectly. Do you have any suggestions? The work you do is very high quality! Thanks for the vids.

[@Ceropegia]

Since the boxes have a complex shape, what I would do is take a piece of malleable paper, (oriental, tissue) cut a rough larger than the top and then press it into the top to be lined. Then press the paper into all of the edges of the inside of the box top, going up the sides/walls is not important, only the flat area of the top that is to be lined. Then, once the paper is removed, you have a pattern of what is essentially to be covered. I would then cut a thin cardboard to fit the space exactly, if the leather is thick it should be pared so that the cardboard can be covered and the leather wrapping around the edges of the liner cardboard. The cardboard may have to be trimmed a little to accommodate the thickness of the leather. I am assuming that the inside sides of the top are not to be covered, if they are, the walls should be covered first so that the leather fills/crosses the edge of the join. That way when the lining is inserted and glued into place there is a continuous effect of the leather lining. Not seeing the box, I can only guess at the problem and this is the way I would start for an odd shaped box. Good luck and thanks for watching.

A good local hand binder should be able to do that for you. You have given no details of what you need,ie: number of pieces, covering the top and bottom or just the back, type of fabric, your location, intended placement/use, etc. If you are doing a lot of pieces it might be best to laminate and seal the board before the clip is attached, in which case you need to know the manufacturer who may be able to help you find a laminating company . That's the best I can do with what you have given me. Thanks for watching.
