The Craft of Bible Rebinding (New Version)

[@TeddisYouTube]

Every single second of this video I watched in AWE. I have a Bible with a LOT of miles on her, and I have upholstery and restoration experience. I am confident I can grow to learn this trade! God bless my hands as I attempt to research and put my skill to my own Bible! Help me Jesus!

[@paulgaters]

Hands down the best Bible rebind on KZbin. No doubt.

[@maximiliantommy1839]

i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@maximiliantommy1839]

@Elliot Donald I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@floflo8153]

​@@maximiliantommy1839 2 years later, how'd it go?

[@warrenpieterse6002]

I was hoping this would be a type of tutorial, but it was so satisfying to watch that I completely forgot that I was looking for a tutorial. Really glad I watched to the end, this was true inspiration!

[@handle7750]

Same 🤣🤣🤣

[@Keep_preaching]

It’s amazing how your process for rebinding a bible is so different than mine, very cool to watch. Awesome video bro!

[@amptown1]

Definitely just threw any and all thought I had that "I could probably do a rebind myself" out the window. Unbelievable. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Oh my... When you stitched the perimeter?? 🤯

[@jessemccardjr8524]

Seriously!! I was thinking the same thing about 1/3 the way through this video 😂😂😂 I don’t have the tools or the same quality materials.. and now I don’t want to go anywhere but here to have my favorite Bible rebound!

[@Colorado_Native]

Same here.

[@Dudeitzmimi]

I've never rebound a book before, but I've done a decent amount of leather work that I never thought I could do. I recommend just doing it. The first time will always turn out looking rough, but you learn a lot every time you do something

[@dianavorady2909]

same. :)

[@handle7750]

Exactly lol! Couple seconds in, I said “welp, guess I’m buying a cover” 😩🤣

[@artistchristos]

That was beautiful to watch, thank you! I've been an artist most of my life and love doing skilled detailed work, and I'd love to have the space and eqipment to rebind bibles with the precision and care you have, but I lost the clear sight of my right eye 4 years ago after 7 operations. I still do fine artwork, praise God. Greetings from Australia!

[@MitchellJBridges]

I wished my KJV Bible was like this one.

[@elizabethwolfe2464]

Beautiful, I've recently tried to fix a few Bibles and have decided this will be a new hobby because I enjoyed it so much. This video is what I will aspire to.

[@gracelamprecht99]

Stunning video! The precision with which you work is amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[@SoldouttotheTruth]

Brother. I will never be able to afford what you do. But, I can admire the Great work you do!

[@JonCMoody]

Now I understand why rebinds cost what they do. Incredible, thanks for showing us the entire process!

[@badsmac]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Something to show me how this process is done. Thank you!

[@thomasandrewphd.5844]

wow. I love your technique. it seems so logical and simple than others I have watched. And the outcome is a very clean look. I really like it . Thank you for sharing

[@BanjoLemonade]

Finally someone who burns the ribbon edges so they don’t fray. I can’t tell you how many Bibles I’ve got and had to burn the ribbon edges. UGH. Beautiful work!

[@Shawn-S]

Awesome work! Getting ready to do my first rebind and your video has given me a few ideas that other videos don’t include. Very high quality work!

[@GINZO4849]

Today is 11/15/2024 and I hope you are still at it and doing well. 🙏🙏🙏

[@monica39124]

Superb man! I learned a lot on this video. I did exactly all the steps you´ve done but in the end I did not reach the same result because I haven´t got all the tools. But my bible looks great know!! Thanks a million for sharing!!

[@ekcraddock]

How impressive?! So much work goes into this process, worth every cent!

[@NarrowPathDoctrine]

Love the preciseness and attention to detail. Beautiful job!

[@CliffR]

Incredible work my friend. Thank you for the video showing how much work and small detail goes into what you (and others) have to do

[@mlast3264]

Very enlightening. Thanks for developing you craft and sharing

[@devriescustomleather1109]

All is great but the corner folds I have never seen, very well done!!!!

[@nb4mt]

Very nice. A lot of work goes into rebinding!

[@wisconsinwoodsman1987]

I was curious if you always use an Oxford tube on your rebinds. Lovely work!

[@sheepdog5799]

Thank you for this, I received my grandfathers Bible and this video will help me rebind his Bible. I’m taking g out all of the satanic masonry pages out

[@SM-JIL]

Wow…. You’re a master craftsman

[@michaelfennell9673]

You do amazing work! I am a leather crafter but would like to try rebinding a few bibles to see If it is something I would like. but I am having trouble finding quality supplies and the wood book press. If you wouldn't mind sharing were you get your supplies I would be grateful! If not I understand, keep doing the videos they are awesome.

[@precisionmediamarketing6950]

Very well made video, with an exceptional rebinding process. You do amazing work. I’m gonna check your site about getting my old Cambridge rebound.

[@celestemccall9972]

Have been thinking about rebinding a bible. This inspires me to try. Your work is excellent. Thank you so very much for sharing your process!

[@HughMyronBro]

What a talent. The respect and delicate work was flawless. Great work.

[@joelmendes355]

wow, that's a beautiful bible !!!

[@chrisallen9303]

What beautiful work!! Def need more videos showcasing your wonderful craft. Thank you!

[@dimesonhiseyes9134]

I need more of this. I love this video and loved seeing how it is done. I just wosh you included a list of materials

[@Project-OriginalReiteratedHoly]

Nice workmanship!

[@nickvasiliades4537]

So cool to see the process. Well done!

[@thejulesfather]

Truly beautiful. Bless you brother

[@randywilkinsii3768]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship, WOW❤!! I so wish you would do a tutorial so others could learn this skill. Please do? Things like type of leather you used? The weight of the leather? The card boarding? Etc-Etc.

[@victorswx]

This was so amazing to watch. Thank you!

[@JohnnyMacs-BibleNightInCanada]

Wow, that was hypnotizing. I couldn't stop watching looool. Amazing work brother! 😍❤️

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Wow, that's beautiful. Great video. Makes me want to learn how to do it!

[@erikads8]

Can’t like this enough! Brilliant and beautiful 👏

[@HomeWithJackie]

This is wonderful!! I noticed that your Etsy page is down. Are you no longer doing this as a side hustle?

[@Curleymctell]

Yeah. You're too good! Lol Very impressive! Beautiful work!

[@safetcko]

Absolutely Beautiful craftsmanship. I want.

[@Native_love]

BEAUTIFUL CRAFTSMANSHIP! That was so inspiring! Thank you!

[@BrianMarcWhittaker]

Quality craftsmanship. The rebind and the video.

[@JWimpy]

Very beautiful, marvelous work. I would be so proud to carry a Bible that nice.

[@Abc-tu9ry]

Bible being repaired by God's hands. Outstanding job. Bravo Sir!

[@basvanrhee]

Amazing craftsmanship! Really enjoyed watching this video!

[@jaredrice9102]

I was thinking about rebinding my own Bible and now, you know the current binding isn't THAT bad lol

[@Camille0381]

😂😂😂

[@DanAbsalonson]

Amazing work. Great video.

[@stephenholloway4166]

Wow!…. What masterful work!.. I had no clue as to all there was to this.. thanks for you video..

[@jacobroy1560]

All I gotta say is, whatever you’re charging, it ain’t enough 😂

[@suredude5291]

Probably charges an arm and a leg 😒

[@jsalyersarts]

I can see why!!! Solo many tedious hours!

[@ReformedBigfoot]

Do you ever use an Oxford Hollow? If yes, why or in which circumstances? Pros and cons? Material choice? Just a heavy cardstock?

[@Agben35]

I do want to be able to do this. Not trying to minimize the expertise, but I SO want to learn it. It would be amazing.

[@kawafer1]

Very nice work. Great video!

[@charleneottinger4735]

Incredible work. Thanks for sharing.

[@samiowes]

Even though I'm not religious, this book rebind is gorgeous!

[@drravikumarsh3720]

Very Beautiful…. It’s joy to watch😊

[@johnstarter777]

Very nice and good work !!! How much would cost me to rebind in leather an old family bible? (1990) (Was hard cover before... Now only has one cover... The book is not in perfect shape.... Can you just give me an approx price please? Thank you

[@CraftsmanshipwithAsh]

Very nice work. My cousin has asked me for years to do a rebind, but I don't want to tackle the project. You make it look easy

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

It took a lot of time and practice (a.k.a. mistakes) to get to where it "looks easy." Send me an email if you or your cousin would like a Bible rebound.

[@derekr6096]

What is your contact info? I have a Vinyl covered hard back book that is falling apart from the hard cover

[@gracethroughfaith4415]

Amazing! Do you do this as a business? How can I get you do rebind my Bible?

[@heathalbritton]

What kind of end paper did you use on the bible, between the leather and the bible pages?

[@scotteramsey]

Fantastic. Awesome to watch that.

[@2woofs784]

I wish you would have commented along the way on what you were doing. This would have been an excellent tutorial.

[@Brother_Brian]

Wow. Such a skill.

[@OwnlyProdigy]

Absolutely love the work on this video as well as the old. I think I have read every single comment and reply on both as I’m about to try and tackle a Bible rebind for myself!

[@LukeSmith7777]

I’ve watched this A BUNCH prepping to rebind my own bible, awesome video and music. Do you have a list of must have hand tools?

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

I don't have a list. I guess you can just go through the video to see what I use.

[@jose_luna]

Am I correct in seeing that you use three layers of leather? Outer cover, reinforcement layer, and then the liner? Are they all the same thickness?

[@renegranados7436]

Amazing craftsmanship.

[@rigobertolopez1588]

What do you put on the spine to clean it up before you put the spine re-enforcement?

[@AblazeWorship]

Wow! Totally amazing and supernatural

[@ceeece]

Amazing work!

[@sherizaahd]

It's always great to see a talented craftsman at work! I think I could do that in about 100 hours and probably a whole wasted goat hide... Oh, yeah, and it wouldn't be THAT, it would be a hacked together thing that would be very meaningful to me, but other people would ask what I had done to my poor bible.

[@biblereviews934]

Awesome! 😮 That's great! What kind of material did you use between the Cover and inside liner?

[@savedbymylovegodthelordjes8394]

praise the Lord and God bless you

[@nickspitzley8539]

That was so satisfying to watch.

[@evangelistmatthew783]

What kind of press do you use? The letters and the gold stuff??

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

I loved this. I’ve always wondered how pleated corners were done.

[@christinamormon]

wow i love this so talented

[@MickMickey]

I have four or five bibles I accidentally inherited and they need repair, I would love to learn, but I better find a guy! thank you for this video wonderful info.

[@Etheralking]

That's so cool bro

[@Mr.Watcher1]

God bless you,thanks for sharing

[@techdawg]

Absolutely Gorgeous!

[@TheHopeofGlory7]

What corner punches do you use for the corners?

[@kristopherhood]

How much do you charge to do this?

[@nycgalant]

Bought the exact same bible to rebind myself and now I see this video. Awesome timing and great color scheme. Was thinking of buying my leather from rocky mountain leathers. I saw u saying in your last vid that they trim the thickness down for you to save on skiving ?

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

Yes, I get my leather split to about 0.5mm so I don't have to skive the edges.

[@endurancechiro2607]

What kind of paper do you use for the separation piece between leather and Bible?

[@davidsims1329]

Vary nice, I would love to learn the craft.. what do you charge, I have my 25 year old Bible bond

[@deercreekoutdoors]

This video is one of the best I have found! Thank you for showing the whole process. As I watched I had a few questions: - What size corner punches for the inside cover and what size for the outside? - What size chisels and thread do you use? -What did you use to clean the glue off the spine? -Lastly, where did you get that awesome wood handled x-acto? Thanks in advance!

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

Thanks for checking out the video. For the corners punches, I use something like a 15mm for the inside and a 40mm for the outside. For stitching, I go with a 4mm spacing chisel and 0.6mm thread. To clean off the glue I actually used a little bit of acetone to soften the glue, but water can work too on this kind of spine. On spines that have more glue, using wheat starch helps. And about the X-acto knife, that is actually a leather handle that I made myself (it slips on and off the handle) so that it would be easier to hold.

[@Fisherman_Trey]

What kind of glue do you use to attach the spine of the text block to the cover?

[@TheLivingBlobfish]

@@Fisherman_Trey To me it looks like simple PVA glue, (like Elmer's glue) but out of a tinny nozzle so that it can be applied more accurately.

[@tommyhite3245]

How much to rebind a bible ?

[@jimmybritt9537]

God certainly has blessed you 👍👍🇺🇸

[@LorenzoM7610]

Does anyone know what machine he used for the hot foil stamp? Or any machine you guys would recommend?

[@TheAjh334]

Rewatched the Video again and came up with one more question lol. What material is it being used to form the Oxford hollow?

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

I just use black cardstock paper, probably around the 65lb range.

[@IamTreken]

Wonderful rebind! I was wondering about the material for the hollow. Thanks for sharing that.

[@overcomer4060]

What kind of glue do you use? Wonderful job, btw!! Wow…😮

[@logan.stark777]

Dude! You are a ninja!

[@paulklenknyc]

Where can I find premium ribbon markers for my ribbon-less Bibles? Suppliers, please? I like those in sets of 3, 4 and 5 - but I'm not sure how to tell the really good ones from the mediocre ones. Thank you!

[@michaelajose7567]

Just came across this video, and it was marvelously amazing. I've had a bible for which I love it so much because it was bilingual. However, the cover doesn't look great anymore, and I do not want to just set it aside. Can I pay to have it rebind for me? I wouldn't mind paying any amount for it. Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@sdgleathergoods5516]

Feel free to send us an email ([e-mail]) and we can discuss the details about getting this rebound for you.

[@lindseywyffels5063]

Great video. What type of paper do you use to line the cover?

[@tbsschiro1393]

That was awesome!!

[@moisesgomez4810]

Sorry. Where can I go to learn this; a school or what’s the name of this art of work? Please I want to learn.

[@revivalministriesrajeshkum358]

Excellent Work.....
