Book binding is an art. One of the problem doing it by hand is how to smoothen the edges without the use of big bulky cutting press. You showed it to me by using sharp chisel and diy press. Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you found my video useful. Big tools help in the process but it can still be done with everyday items and a bit of knowledge.

I use a hand plane! Just make sure it’s Sharp and clamped really well. It cuts better than wood. Not surprising, but it’s neat.

It's amazing how you did the book trimming with a chisel. I struggle with this a lot.

Question... at 5:44 as you finish trimming the book it looks like the wooden bottom of the side you were working toward is higher than the wooden side you were resting the chisel on as you make cuts. Is this correct? If so... how does the Finishing press sit flat when using it flipped over the other way?

Do you ever have to replace your chisel when/if it grows dull? Or is there a sharpening method to refresh the blade?

Are you referring to the stitching of the signatures (page papers)? You should be able to follow along with what he's doing by watching closely what he does in the first video.

How many layers of glue do you use on the spine? Is one enough or there are multiple?
@FourKeysBookArts2 жыл бұрын
I usually glue it once before rounding, then again after to help maintain that rounding, especially if I add a paper lining.

Which type of glue did you use? And how much paper was needed? I love this series, very helpful! :)
@FourKeysBookArts3 жыл бұрын
The glue was archival PVA, and as for the paper... I honestly don't remember how much. Maybe about 8 sheets 65cm x 50 cm?
