[@Nanakinsz]

These videos were a WONDERFUL series! I'm ready to get HOOKED! More! More!! Bravo!

[@SciencePotli]

213❤️ Amazing and fantastic tutorial, Great upload friend 💐👍

[@SciencePotli]

You're welcome to my educational channel

[@amandachapman4708]

Yes please, more experiments! I'm interested in the historical styles.

[@Leo1406hongkong]

Beautiful binding! I will kick off my own project for this limp binding. Thank You!

[@ThePhantazmya]

I love medieval things and I look forward to seeing all the variations and explorations of other period bindings. I love your channel. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

[@mountainsno]

Thank you. Ive been watching a lot of your videos. But Im terribly messy with glue and I think this one... me being a sewer... I think this is the binding for me.

[@lisap5615]

Loved this series on the long stitch binding with the stitch wrapping and button closure. I do hope you will make more videos like this going forward. Thank you!

[@Misstucci]

Love the aesthetic of this binding. One I’ll definitely be trying myself in the near future.

[@madamsloth]

Love the closure on this, will be giving this a try.

[@gillramsay1112]

This is gorgeous and yes totally hooked. Yes please many more 👏🏻

[@edwardgurney1694]

Very nice! These wrapping patterns are similar to what sailors and knot-tiers call grafting. This is way of covering an object or rope where a number of cords are lashed lengthways down the length of the object, then a longer cord is woven around the object in a spiral, going under and over the vertical cords. Often the cord is lead around each filler cord in a half hitch, creating a very dense diagonal pattern. These methods could easily be adapted to a long stitch spine. I may try it!

Já estava maravilhoso na part 2, agora part 3 estou sem palavras. 🙏

[@daveturnbull7221]

A perfect way to finish this particular binding and it has certainly got me hooked on this style so please - many more examples! I've got loads of questions slowly forming in my head and if I can't find the answers on my own I may well pop back here and pester you with them Darryn. In the meantime I'll be returning to getting started on reading my copy of Szirmai which arrived yesterday along with The Thames and Hudson Manual of Bookbinding. I forsee a great many notebooks being filled with questions and ideas...

[@1sonjohn44]

A great channel, you've helped me out tremendously.

[@puhiava]

It would be great to see a leather bound limp binding like used in traditional Bible bindings.

[@DASBookbinding]

It's on the list. DAS

[@odysseus93]

Thanks so much. I'm always inspired by the work you do.

[@polosandoval]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!

[@caroleunderwood953]

Beautiful!

[@taniaferreiradossantos4698]

Surpreendente. 🤩🤩🤩

[@irishguy13]

Really beautiful.

[@AngelavengerL]

I really love the look of this one. I was happy to see i could use paper for the wrap since I do not use leather. I have some beautiful decorative papers from India that are made from recycled cotton rags that i think might be perfect for this kind of cover. Though they are paper they have a bit of the feel of fabric and flexibility too.

[@chloe149]

Wow, this one is awesome! I can't wait to try it

[@edwardgurney1694]

I'm certainly a fan of medieval limp bindings! If you're going to do more, could we see a secondary tacketed style, and maybe a laced vellum tapes? There are lots of long stitch tutorials on KZbin, but for the other styles it's pretty much just Szirmai and a couple of GBW videos. Recommendations on readily available materials that can substitute for vellum/parchment would also be appreciated. I've had some success with backing off-white paper with sticky-back plastic to stop it tearing make it more rigid.

[@marcireale]

I will definitely be trying this one myself. Do you keep all of the experimental bindings you create? Or are some available for sale?

[@DASBookbinding]

I keep the ones that are featured in the videos. Prototypes get used and given away. It is a goal for this year to start making a few extra for sale. I'm sure I'll mention it in the videos once I do this. Take care! Darryn

[@paulmccullough7352]

hi there, i have just discovered your channel and although i have not yet touched a book (with the intentions of binding) i have just ordered all the basics that i need, to have a play with making a book or two. i just had to mention this, as you were talking about doing hourglass weavings and how you are having difficulty getting them right, my mind automatically came up with the idea of tying a thread around the middle of the 3 long stitches you are planning to weave so as to create that hourglass shape from the start, and then start weaving it following the shape that is already there. because you seem to have your tension on the thread balanced enough that you arnt distorting the shape of them as you go along. so if you can do that while following the shape you have preset, it should hopefully turn out alright. And i dont think i need to mention (but clearly i am anyway) as you get towards the middle of the long stitch where you have tied it, you snip that tie off and carry on weaving.

[@DASBookbinding]

Only one way to find out, you should give it a try and let me know how it goes. All the best, DAS

[@sandraluciacaceresbandeira5760]

Que aula maravilhosa, vou tentar fazer com certeza.

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

Oh, this is nice =o

[@gemmi1]

How do you know how much thread to use for the weaving and what do you do if you run out please?

[@DASBookbinding]

Practice. It doesn't take much thread and I always use more than I need. So no need to join. It would be hard to add thread because it would be hard to hide the knot.

[@gemmi1]

@@DASBookbinding thank you so much for replying!

[@avenfelon2065]

Hello. I was sewing the textblock, but the back side (spine) gradually rises up and the front (fore edge) lies low. How can i fix that? By the way, english is not my native

[@DASBookbinding]

This is called swell. Some book structures, such as rounded and backed books require this, but others don't, such as this book. Check out my video on swell kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3bPmIuHd5Wnq7c

[@avenfelon2065]

@@DASBookbinding thank you

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

Are you aware of any examples of decorative work in the weaving on these bindings, such as beadwork incorporations or colored threads?

[@DASBookbinding]

Yes. Some of the modern takes on this style are very fancy. I'll stick to a more subdued traditional style but do love some of the modern work.

[@garyleonard9178]

Are you concerned about the durability of the covering, or not a concern as these are prototypes? The reason I ask is that my first limp binding has a 1cm tear at tail spine, I may have gotten too eager with the bone folder and put a sharp crease (lesson learned), which then got caught with the thread while I was wrapping. I used a synthetic paper, parchement, pergamenata parchement paper, 230gsm.

[@DASBookbinding]

Bit of complex question. The book in the video I wouldn't consider a prototype, rather a modern interpretation. The material I use for the cover is like a strong card stock, maybe 20pt. It's not as strong as real parchment, but not far off. Sorry I don't know of a commercially available substitute.

[@WillenaJennings]

Instead of weaving techniques, research needle lace techniques for the wrapping weaves.

[@bookbinding]

Looks amazing. It also looks so easy when you do it.

[@DASBookbinding]

Give it a go, maybe it is as easy as it looks! BTW, it's not the first time I've done something in the videos. First time for me can be a struggle too. My rule of thumb is that I usually have something nailed in about the same time I can't remember how many times I've done it. DAS

[@bookbinding]

@@DASBookbinding Thank you for he reply. I learned bookbinding watching your channel. Always trying to follow your instructions, but as I said it's not as easy as it looks when you do it.
