This Bible Shocked Me.

[@anthonym.7653]

Knowing there is a bible community out there always makes me smile.

[@guymontag349]

Me too!

[@joelfields9807]

My mind is blown! That's the best rebind I've ever seen!

[@christophermoore6048]

What a gorgeous rebind. The inclusion of the Old Maps is a great aesthetic. I Love the shock/excitement you showed😂

[@timwildsmith]

I was having so much fun!

[@waynemetcalf4254]

Good morning everyone!! Hope everybody had a great week.

[@ashleyoliver]

This has to be my favorite rebind you’ve ever featured! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@petrashappyplace]

I concur!!!

[@fumastertoo]

Wow, that looks amazing! Love the color scheme of the leather and ribbons, and those end sheets really set it off too!

[@etpeterson7374]

Mike’s work is beautiful and he’s an awesome brother in Christ. Amazing Bible and a great review.

[@Matthew-307]

Great job brother Mike! That’s a “badalassi” rebind!!! 😜

[@DottyGale8]

You had me just at the BOX! I was already incredibly impressed before we even got to the Bible. Keeping this guy in mind for any future rebinds I may need. He's a winner.

[@nickvasiliades4537]

That whole package is next level. Beautiful bible.

[@timwildsmith]

Yes! This is the unboxing expertise I want from a rebind.

[@juanfranciscocervantesquezada]

Wowthe ESV logo Stamp are gorgeous, and the map end sheets looks amazing.

[@masont2429]

Don’t need a box cutter, just sharpen your knife

[@louisiananlord17]

Best thing I have heard in a long time!

[@EricShreve]

If you don’t know how to sharpen, just find a place near you that does it. It usually only costs a few dollars per blade and will make you actually love your knife again.

[@masont2429]

[@sylviafriessen9124]

I agree, Mike is a great person to deal with and this one id the best I've seen yet from him !! Very beautiful bible !!

It looks incredible and wish I could touch and feel the quality. Thanks again Tim

[@petrashappyplace]

Tim, I have never gotten a custom rebind. You have shown a LOT of rebinds, but THIS.....for me? If I ever do get the chance and finances to do one, I am going to Mike! Thank you so much for sharing!!! That cover is STUNNING!!! The whole presentation is AMAZING!!!

Yay!

I have several from Rugged Cross. Mike does a great job.

[@rosalynforte509]

Hi Tim. What an absolutely GORGEOUS rebind that Rugged Cross did for you! Wow! I’m so happy for your happiness. I enjoy seeing your reactions and your passion & excitement reviewing Bibles, especially this one. Enjoy your Bible. Mike did an incredible job! God bless you! 💜✝️🙏🏻😊

[@julesonthebeach777]

I'm VERY impressed! I REALLY love that colour! It's exactly what I would choose for myself. Now I'll finish watching the video. 😁

[@julesonthebeach777]

Stunning and exquisite are the words that come to mind. I definitely will choose Rugged Cross to do any rebinds.

[@charjohnnyo3655]

That definitely nears perfection. Thanks for your continued videos. I know your are going a thousand different directions these days. Your videos are the best!

[@youcatastrophe6434]

Absolutely beautiful. Honestly, probably one of my favorites so far! Definitely top 3!

[@cordboyette3804]

That is the best rebind I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing

[@karlhornburg3447]

Mike made my ESV David Jeremiah Study Bible as his #27. Just love it and appreciate his skill & craftsmanship. I go back and forth between it and the ESV Heirloom Heritage Horween. Thanks Mike!

[@timwildsmith]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrsinTN]

Absolutely beautifully done work! I’m not crazy about green, but the choice of maps for the end pages and everything makes that Bible stunning! Great work! My favorite part, though, is how perfect the cursive ESV logo came out! Gorgeous! *****

Hi Tim. OMG!!!!! That bible is STUNNING!!! I love the colours, the ribbons, the box, everything. You can tell that he has put a lot of thought, time and effort into doing this for you Tim, it's simply gorgeous!! I loved your excitement and it made me laugh, it's so good to see someone so passionate about his love for bibles. Hope you and Beck are well, take care and hugs from me in Australia

[@timwildsmith]

It really is!

[@JonStallings]

Great craftsman - I love all the attention to detail from the packaging to the rebind itself. Great looking leather. Please don't buy a box opener. Get you a good crock stick knife sharpener. They are super easy to use.

[@crucifiedlife9700]

That is amazing work, and I love that bible inside of it!

[@donnawildsmith2232]

Absolutely beautiful!! Good job, Mike! ❤

[@MichaelSchmalGuitar]

Beautiful!!

[@2lpitzers]

Hi Tim, awesome Bible rebind! I am so impressed and blown away by all the lovely details. I just sent a request to Mike asking about a rebind for my NASB Inductive Study Bible. It is my pride and joy. After spending 12 year’s studying under Kay Arthur, Precept Ministries, my Bible is in pretty sad shape! Thank you so much for the review!✝️💜

[@shanegross3641]

You could just sharpen the knife. Lots of tools out there that make resharpening easy.

[@jayandrew87]

Very convincing! Now I’m looking for a block to get rebound. Anyone have a Jongbloed TBS Westminster for sale? 😁

[@Cliff_Dixon_42]

Oooh, that IS nice looking!! ON A SIDE NOTE: With regards to your dull knife. Depending on how dull it is, you might be able to touch up the edge yourself w/ an inexpensive knife sharpener. Something like a ceramic rod "turn box" sharpener (rods are placed in a holder at particular angles, and you draw the knife edge along the rods) can be had for not much dinero. There are certainly various whetstones that can be used (and, depending on the stone's material, they might not have to be LITERALLY wet). In a pinch, one can even use the bottom of a coffee mug (if the YT videos can be believed)!

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks!

[@maureenharrah931]

GORGEOUS!

[@Ladydarlene17plus]

Very nice rebind!

[@philliplamberth4075]

The Bible is great. Also you don’t need another knife you just need to sharpen the one you have.

Tim. You can sharpen the knife blade.

[@vickip54]

It’s beautiful!!! Love the work he did! What Bible was that? You said Heritage? Love the layout

Yep, it's the ESV Heirloom Heritage!

[@Honna-NL]

Wow. Just wow. ❤

[@Dylan-wn7dm]

Very nice indeed

[@kevinlevandoski7117]

Beautiful Bible and rebind! The heirloom heritage is my ideal layout. Do you know of any Bible that has the same specs (size, font, type, paper) with a less expensive leather? I’d love to get a rebind done and not have to pay the premium price for the leather.

[@lemcruz]

[@timsaco4793]

Hey Tim, I am looking to do a rebind. But I am really wanting to give it the Royal treatment, page edging, under gilt, rounding corners great cover etc. who would you recommend? This is my Cambridge NIV wide margin insight Bible. I think it is THE ONE! But it needs something more then the cover it came with. Thanks in advance!

[@timwildsmith]

Love that Bible. I don’t think all of the rebinders that I’ve reviewed do all of that, so you’ll probably have to ask around and see who’s comfortable. I know Jeffrey at PTL has rounded corners before.

[@alan77764]

Hi Tim, loved the bible binding just beautiful I had a question, is it wrong to collect bibles or is okay to have versions Anyways if you see this great if not. Thank you for sharing, love the channel!

[@timwildsmith]

I recommend reading from different versions. If you’re careful of idolatry, I think collecting can be fun.

[@FrankRollberg]

Very Very nice!

[@guymontag349]

At my age I'm no longer easily impressed. But I have to admit, that is one very impressive rebind.

[@caleblewis9662]

Hey, Tim! I may want to do a couple of Bible rebinds sometime this year. Are any rebinders more affordable than others? Or do they all tend to be in the same ballpark of pricing? I know the type of leather used and the size of the text block make a big difference. If you don't know the answers, could you please recommend a few Bible rebinders I can contact? I already contacted Rugged Cross and got his price sheet. Thanks! In Christ, Caleb

[@timwildsmith]

I think it all depends on the rebinder. I have really enjoyed working with Rugged Cross, Logos, SDG, ICA, Lion & Lamb, AE, and others… hoping to review a few more new folks soon.

[@robertnewman9056]

I want my next bible to be that bible i would love to read the word everyday

[@dgm2006]

If I were doing an unboxing video, I would want to use my Rough Ryder Sabacc. A little on the large side, but a really good looking and well made folding knife. 🗡️🔪⚔️

How do you order a rebind from Rugged Cross? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

[@timwildsmith]

Someone told me he's not doing it anymore... not sure if that's true, but it would be a shame if so.

[@Mark-ql5ni]

So there is no way to get in touch with him unless you create a Facebook account? Ugh, rough, guess im out. No email address either on the Facebook

[@barbs1298]

So how do we access these rebind sites when we aren't on FB? Not everyone is on FB.

I don't think you have to have a FB account to view the page... but I could be wrong.

It’s definitely and investment.
