This channel is to spread basic techniques and knowledge of bookbinding. When I have time, I'll make and post video tutorials of very basic bookbinding on RU-vid, and will share my works and life as a traditional bookbinder / restorer on my blog. Leave a comment / e-mail if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help as I can. Thanks for your interest. - MHR
THANK YOU!!!! I've been avoid headbands because I couldn't figure out what they were doing. Videos and pictures wheren't working. I completely forgot I saved your video on my bookbinding playlist. AND IT HELPED! I could follow easily!
Oh my. Thank you so very much. This is wonderful and I’m keeping it ready for tomorrow’s Book Makers Group @Green Heron Book Arts in Forest Grove Oregon. 😅❤
Eu já fazia desse mesmo modo utilizado-me fitas que conheço com o nome de gorgurão, que têm já a superfície com finas listras da mesma cor mas em um leve auto-relevo.
In both the video and another comment they imply that they glue the spine once after gluing on the endsheets and before guillotining the edges, and another time after rounding.
Hi. I'm new to book binding too. I just want to ask, what's the purpose of the ribbon tape or cloth that's being out at the spine during binding? Either way, people do it. Thank you for your reply. 🙂
Did i just found a tutorial that i needed? Seems like i did. Maybe it is 9 years old film, but god damn, thank you SO MUCH for showing this. It's clear and understandable, honestly I cannot compare other films I've seen to this -maybe because any of them weren't a tutorial, but still-. Also I may be blind -or tired, it's 4:10am here lmao- but tbh I don't see the difference between sewing _on_ cords, and _in_ cords ^^`` You as an author may not see this because this video is old (although I hope that you are not dead or anything :(( ) and the channel itself seems to be forgotten (because last film was like 7 years ago lol), but maybe other viewer will see this comment and help me a little ^^`` :D Anyway, once again, thank you sooo much for this tutorial. I hope that you are doing well.
I aquired a waxed thread and have been sawing with exposed spine,coptic and french. The thread is a little fat though and the spine ends up thicker than the other side in my projects. Im propably wrong but i think my thread's thickness is similar to the one demonstrated on this video. Im using normal a4 printing paper which i assume is thin,does that combined with the thick thread affect the difference in thickness from the spine to the other side?
Oh it's the thickness of the cord, board, and the board is beveled along with holes drilled at an angle. Got it. Boy did I miss that on my first attempt and it was a mess.
