Just a project playing around with different materials. Kind of a bit of a tutorial on how to make a leather notebook. You could say it's a bit of a How to on making a leather journal as well, Really it's me doing a DIY book binding video on book binding and sticking a note book which has a a hardback leather cover. Which ever way you look at it, I hope you enjoy it and get inspired about doing something your self! :-)
Let me know in the comments.

You now know why bookbinding has truly been an art of its own for centuries. This was your first attempt, and you're disappointed in it? I think you did pretty bloody good! Don't be too quick to point out errors. It's a rare person indeed that achieves perfection on their first go at something like this. I think it looks great, and would be more than proud to own it. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Thanks Mark Lindsay A Book Binder, I am NOT! :-) LOL But It was still a lot of fun. I had in my head that i would have the leather much tighter across the cover, and try to emboss it, I think this to be the main cause for disappointment. The leather was pretty poor quality, and could probably have do with stretching a little more. That said, it's still a book, that can be used, so watch out for future videos along these lines :-)

The amount of encouragement and love in these comments is really heartwarming! I just recently also made one by using Sea Lemon's tutorial and I had similar complaints with mine. I had the opposite problem with my edge though, it was just a little too short, so the the end pages almost were longer. But I too look forward to future achievements!

I'm a Bookbinder & I think you did a really good job for a first effort! The 'cover papers' you mentioned are called 'Endpapers' & book covers &/or spines are debossed, not embossed (a very common misconception). A small book press would have ironed out the leather cover. Keep on keeping on :)

You actually did very well for your first try. This is a true art. Careful stretching and precision alignment are not easily achieved. Your gaps between the spine board and face boards should be 1/4". the face boards should only be 1/4" bigger then the book. Book binding leather is much thinner then jacket leather so you had considerable obstacles to over come. Very nice work though. I wouldn't hang my head after that.

It was definitely worth having a bash at reusing the leather. Although a couple of people have said that bookbinding leather is thinner (which makes a lot of sense now), Expect some other note books in the future, I've also invested in one of those punches to round the page corners ;-)

Great project! I have done this many times before but using paper instead of leather. You can find some pretty good quality papers for this purpose in most craft stores to practice before you use leather again. In my experience, the spine cardboard piece makes the book look nicer but limits how much flex it has. For everyday notes, I leave it out (Moleskine notebooks leave it out too.) Awesome first try. It came out way better than my first time! Lol

Thank you for this, I thought this was a great idea for a gift. I have just spent several enjoyable hours looking at lots of bookbinding videos. Sea Lemon is good but have a,look at bookbinderschronicle as well for a more in-depth look. Whilst your video looks similar to the Diresta one, you took the time to sew in the sentences whilst Diresta used a modified version of the "Perfect" system used for magazines etc. Yours should last longer! Thank you again I now know a lot more about bookbinding than I did before I watched your video!

Hello! Loved this, just wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions... What type of card/material did you cover with the leather to make it hardback? Also would this method work if the book had far fewer, tea stained pages in? I want to make something like this as brides maids invites but I only need 14 pages. Oh also that wooden thing you were using to clamp the pages did you make that or can you buy them? Thankyou!
@BrainFizz
@BrainFizz 8 жыл бұрын
Thanks +Jessica McCluskey !! Firstly I am no book binder! If a professional book binder watched this they would probably feint! :-) to answer your questions though.... I simply used the cardboard from the back of the paper pad that i got the pages from - when you buy a refill pad of paper theres a piece of card to keep the pad stiff so i just used that. I don't think the number of pages will have a great effect on the outcome, but I've never tried it. That said you can buy thick heavy hardback books and small thin ones too! To clamp the pages and parts I simply used a couple of scraps of plywood 18mm thick and some woodworking clamps I had. You can buy book presses, but i figured it was easy enough use what i had. check out the channel "Sea Lemon" she has loads of tutorials, and is far better at book binding than I! :-) Good luck with the wedding too! :-)

I see a lot of fingers doing the job that the bone folder is there for. You should get one, or use a sturdy credit card to smooth out you leather

I completely agree! If i were doing this a lot, I probably would, but when you put leather onto a surface with contact adhesive, it's stuck, there's no way to move it or stretch it, it's fixed. I'm not a book binder or leather worker, i just like making things, except music, i'm not musical either, other than having an opinion on it.

@BrainFizz

Its one of the Tensor grip range (L12 or LP62 I think), great stuff - the only contact adhesive you'll likely see me use now!

I have a question! At 6:06 you press it down onto the card then lift it back up and I hear a distinct ripping sound. My guess is that you used something like Easy-Tack? Otherwise I am confused on how it was sticky, or tacky. Great video though and I don't see anything wonky at all! I love your technique. If I were doing it, Lord help! It would look like a 3-year-old did it. I'm good at making a design for it. Not so much actually doing it. lol!

HA HA!!! No, that was the table creaking as I'm pressing down! :-) I did this project on the kitchen table as there's a light directly overhead! The glue used for this project is called LP61, it's a permanent fix contact adhesive.

Hey, how many unfolded pages did you use?
@BrainFizz
@BrainFizz 8 жыл бұрын
I can't remember to be honest! LOL! It really doesn't matter much though, as you make up the smaller sections and then stick them together at the end. this means you can make it as many pages long as you need.

Yeah, I don't think Dog watched the video, else Dog would've known. When I saw you pull out that jacket, I cringed knowing what you were about to do! I don't know, I think in my mind I felt like there is a law somewhere that says you aren't supposed to desecrate anything that's made from leather (though yours is probably faux but I have no way of knowing), ever. lol! Still, I think it's great that you're not just tossing it. You're getting more use out of it and that's a fantastic thing to do. My congrats on a great technique and it's absolutely beautiful!

Thanks! thats really nice to say! further to the jacket, I knew someone who worked at the charity shop in question, they used to get lots of clothing so the things that didn't sell to customers would get back loaded and sold off per kilo to a firm, the jacket, and a skirt were taken from this pile and used. that was about 5 years ago, and i still have some of it. looking at the back, it is real leather - but very thin stuff.

you don't need very much, aside the obvious leather, paper, card, needle and thread, it's just wood glue, an awl, knife, ruler, some boards to clamp with and some patience.

LaughingLion4Ever I'd Never done anything like this before, so doing a "how-to style tutorial route" seemed a little bit adventurous. Prior to this christmas I was also making lots of projects for gifts, and didn't particularly want to spend 60% of the time shooting video scenes, so I just got the camera out and got on with it. It wasn't meant to be a rip off of Jimmy's work, I can see the similarities, but an "exact copy" seems a little harsh. But thanks for watching.
