Good evening 👋😊 Nik 🌹 thank you for sharing this how to video enjoy your week 💌🌹👍👋🦄

[@tharp2499]

Yaaaay!! That was me. I asked. Maybe someone else did as well. But, I KNOW I did.😁 Thank you so much for answering and the tutorial. You are such an excellent instructor. I really appreciate the little tips and that you explain the "why" a particular step is done. Makes it so much easier to remember, and comprehend. That methodology sure would have helped in high school History class.🤨 Bahahaha!! Thank you again, Nik. You're the best!💙💙💙

[@NiktheBooksmith]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@Tink70]

I've always had troubles with my corners...very helpful!❤ No matter how short the video, this is a time saver for people and that's immeasurably important. Thank you for sharing!❤

[@MaximumCC]

Thank you for this, been struggling away for ages as I'm way too stingy (Scottish for NOT spending money)

[@lori88ish]

Fabulous I was looking to buy one for !4.00 on sale. So glad I did not buy yet. Thanks a Bunch

[@THEDANCEDST]

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us the information on how to do these. $20 plus shipping is a lot to pay for these items . So again 😊 thanks

[@suitelady1749]

Excellent and clear explanation. Thanks!!

[@NorthlightsStudio]

Awesome jig!! Thanks!!

[@kelvinmartin6050]

That was the single best how to video ever! I need about 14 corner mitre tools for a class I’m running and I don’t like the pre made ones with the raised edge, I like to use a rotary cutter to trim the excess fabric when doing Cartonnage and also buying 14 is expensive, I can make as many as I want out of off cuts of chip board/ book board. Thank you SO much

[@reneehouse-wyatt3658]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@brendariddle2349]

Great!!! Thank you!!!

[@brucebigglesworth9532]

In the past I have 'guesstimated' the gap between the board corner and the oblique cut, not always very sucessfully. Your simple template makes perfect mitres every time - many thanks.

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Thank you.

[@minkaf4243]

[@Amanda.Jayne.]

So helpful! Thank you ❤

[@karmesindryade]

Great idea. I usually just measure each corner, but this makes it much easier. Thank you 💖💖

[@gigijohnson3211]

Thanks

[@kimberlyrusso2541]

Hello Nik! !

[@firey3678]

Love this! I paid a fortune for an aluminium one and they never said anything about different thickness of the book boards

[@CJG1419]

Love this idea. I always have anxiety when I have to do corners. 😳

[@beckyb4074]

This is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Ooh, love that caliber you are using. I've been wanting to get one of those for years, but in the meantime I have to use the cheap manual ones. Sure glad I subscribed to your channel. You're the best. I pray that you and yours are all doing well. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Thank you kindly, Miss Becky, right back at'cha 😊

[@Florismom]

What is that measuring device you are using to check the thickness of the board?

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hi Rosalyn, those are digital calipers.

[@megasauruss]

You're a life-saver! Cutting the corners was always my least favourite part!

[@drtwdz216]

Ma'am then for all should we multiply by 1.5? E.g 1.5mm thickness board x 1.5 = 2.25mm ? Is this correct?

[@NiktheBooksmith]

good morning! After you measure the thickness of your board, multiply that measurement by 1.5. If your board is 1.5mm thick, then multiplying 1.5 x 1.5 would be 2.25, yes.

[@drtwdz216]

Thank you so much for replying ma'am.. ❤️❤️

[@opts9]

What's the black card called?

[@hollyingraham3980]

Handicrafts use too few jigs. That's such a time and brain saver.
