How to Make A Book Safe - Part 2

[@RelateGREAT]

Oh my gosh! I knew there had to be a better way than I've seen. Kept trying to think of a way to do this with power tools vs. xacto knife. Thank you! Well done.

[@HappyyThoughtt]

Awesome video. Very informational and professionally presented. Thanks for the upload.

[@extrakimmu]

Amazing tutorial, unfortunately i don't have any of the needed tools just lying around lol i still enjoyed watching though, thank you

[@jeskahaley9616]

These are the best thank you so so much for making them!!!

[@RefinedPallet]

Kyle, yes there are other methods of cutting but I have not tried them. Unless you have a blade that is supported from above AND below you may experience "flex" and the sides of the cutout may not be consistent.

Amazing stuff. Great video. Thanks for sharing! :) Have you tried using a jigsaw instead? DO you think that might work?

[@jakeclifford2635]

this is a really good set of vids, i dont know if id have the heart to do it to such a beautifully made book though :/

[@1qa2wsx3edc4rfv5tgb6]

Im going to try this

[@RootinrPootine]

Could you use a hole saw bit to do this instead? I don’t have a scroll saw.

[@cobblestoneparis4068]

How long is this whole process, not counting dry time ? Thanks !!

[@Br0ns0n]

The top backer board has 14 brad nails in it and the back one has 10. How do you get the backer boards off without messing op the pages?

[@KyleRDorssers]

is there a way that you could use another type of saw for the cutting part ?

[@amybasiaga1]

what can i do if i dont have a brad nailer or saw?

[@jumjerrybo]

What are your thoughts on someone using an electric nail gun as opposed to the pneumatic?

[@RefinedPallet]

Never tried that, but I don't see why it would not work.

[@jumjerrybo]

RefinedPallet Cool. The books on your etsy are marvelous by the way. How do you find such good books to hollow?

[@RefinedPallet]

A lot are used from various sources. But the leather bound books I do need to purchase new to secure.

[@imogenn3641]

Could you do this with a band saw?

[@RefinedPallet]

Not with the same results. A band saw would definitely cut much faster, however the cut would need to start from outside of the book. You can't thread a closed loop band saw blade through a drilled starting hole. With a cut starting from outside the book you would need to find a way to reinforce, fill and hide the starting cut.

[@imogenn3641]

Thanks for the response. I guess I'll be doing it by hand!

RefinedPallet Could you use a hole saw drill bit?

[@jasonblass1767]

hey i bought a scroll saw and am trying your book safe project but when I try to cut through pages it barely cuts. it cuts so little it would take hours to finish. I bought a blade like your using , I just don't know what im doing wrong , please help me

[@RefinedPallet]

Not sure what is going on with your process. I stick with a 7tpi hook blade. I can get through a typical 1.5" book in about 5 minutes or less. I can usually get 2-3 books per blade before they break.

you can just cut a god dam box you don't have to use meserments just cut and stash
