DIY CORNER CUTTING JIG

[@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! 😊

[@pippipants]

Thanks Nik!

[@kimberlyrusso2541]

Hello Nik! !

[@marciaw4164]

Easy peasy, etc. Thanks, Nik!

[@rneustel388]

Thanks for sharing that helpful, little tool!

[@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

[@chariot03]

Thank you so much for sharing! You are an amazing teacher, and I hope you know that we appreciate you more than you can ever know!

[@LedgerAndLace]

I think that's some math-ing I can actually do! GENIUS!!! 🙂

[@NiktheBooksmith]

quick and dirty mathing, that's my jam!

THANK YOU! I've been wanting to make some of these, but didn't quite understand how to get the measurements. This will save me some money, for sure, because I can use scraps. You are AWESOME!

🎉 brilliant

[@megasauruss]

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

[@JannyHaak]

Thanks for another very helpful tutorial, Nik! Awesome! 💕

[@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.

[@jeannemason6416]

Thanks Nic. your amazing...blessings

[@valeriebrewer6542]

Cool, Yes I have that same small quilters square. Thanks again for sharing this awesome tutorial. God bless you. Becky B

[@kathysmith869]

Thank you for this tutorial! I always have trouble with corners, so this is incredibly useful tool and you explained how to make it perfectly.

[@phoebea]

Thanks, this is so helpful! I was putting on a vegan leather book cover on one of my journals and had to redo the entire process because I didn't have the 3mm clearance.

[@karmesindryade]

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

[@smchalk3535]

Like others, I have had problems with corners. Thanks

[@NiktheBooksmith]

oh yeah...I cannot tell you how many covers I ruined by not cutting the corners correctly. >.

[@Amanda.Jayne.]

So helpful! Thank you ❤

[@firey3678]

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

[@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 😊

[@user-wu5vb6vk8h]

What if the book board has rounded edges? So your book will have rounded corners opposite the spine.

[@opts9]

What's the black card called?

[@Florismom]

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

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hi Rosalyn, those are digital calipers.

[@hollyingraham3980]

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

[@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.. ❤️❤️
