Hello ! I have one of those presses, I made it myself as you say, with wooden planks and bolts. It happens that I don't usually use it for videos because many people tell me that they don't have that tool...

Hello ! The cut on the spine and the threads provide some resistance to the opening mechanism. Many years ago it was done this way to simulate a false seam. You can try it without the threads but you have to be very sure that the adhesive on the spine will keep everything in place. In fact, that book that you see in the video was new and as soon as I started reading it the pages fell off, it only had adhesive on the spine...now with the threads it works better.

@@bookbindig_studio ooohhh ryt ryt that you soon damn much 😭❤

Hello ! Sewn binding is better than just adhesive binding. If you are going to use adhesive, it should only be one that is diluted with water, like white school adhesives. If the adhesive is specific for binding, the better, because they are manufactured free of acids.

Hello ! See if this works for you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TZp359uqEM.html

@@bookbindig_studio thanks but what if want a picture on the cover

@@KakashiHatake-xt3kw You would have to send the covers to be printed with the design you want and then assemble the body of the book with the covers

Hello ! Yes, in the binding industry with large runs (thousands of copies) it is done with machines, I don't know if there is a machine to do it individually

Great job by the way, you made it look very easy 😊

Hello ! The adhesive I use is this PVA Adhesive amzn.to/3TMlmzJ you can look for something similar, it is an adhesive that can be diluted with water.

Hello ! Yes, PVA adhesive is correct

Thanks

Hello ! With the threads and furrows, the gluing of the sheets is reinforced, it serves to give strength to the spine. It works like a false seam, it is a very old technique to avoid the sewing of signatures that takes much more time and work.

@@bookbindig_studio my dad used to do that and i never understood why until now, thank you very much.

Hello ! It depends on the use, of course with a seam it is always more durable. If you prefer to do it with sewing, here is a tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TZp359uqEM.html

Hi! Here you are ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TZp359uqEM.html

Go to your local joiner or carpenter’s workshop and get them to cut you two lengths of plywood about 15” or 375mm long by about 2” or 50mm wide. (Joiners in the UK use mm, not cm.). The plywood should ideally be 1” or 25mm thick: it needs to be stiff rather than strong, or when you tighten your press around a text block it will spring apart in the centre. Ask them to bore a hole, 8mm in diameter, 1.25” or 30mm from each end of each strip. Buy some set screws about 3” or 75mm long, ideally with wing nuts for tightening them, and stainless steel washers for each side. (A bolt has a smooth shank under the head and then a short length of threading. A set screw is similar, but has no smooth section: rather the thread extends all the way up to the head. It’s a more flexible option than a bolt for this kind of work). Fit the strips together with the set screws, washers, and wing nuts and you have a book press that will last pretty much forever. The parts are freely available and shouldn’t cost more that £10$ off eBay, including postage, if your local hardware store can’t help. Alternatively, you could buy a nice old Dryad book press for around £150$…

Hello ! No, it's made of wood , I made it as shown in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--09fZs9Lxfg.htmlsi=1yx7Omfn9kcIa8Qi

@willgrime Thank you very much for your complete contribution on the materials necessary to make a press, in this video I show how I made it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--09fZs9Lxfg.htmlsi=1yx7Omfn9kcIa8Qi

Hello ! I do not make bindings for sale, thank you very much anyway 😊

Hello ! It depends on the adhesive and the use you give the binding. If you want to be 100% sure that the pages will not fall, you would have to do something like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TZp359uqEM.htmlsi=TXTV8JfipDiLA4mc

Because they add strength to the spine, otherwise, you only depend on the adhesive

Super...one day I got an idea to cut stripes on the back to add more adhesive to squeeze in to bind more. And also thought to add some flexibility by fixing plastic stripes to it. But fixing with threads is a super idea. I thought to cut at the back zeebra cuttings i.e zig zac to add more strength to it. But this most enough to repair. Thanks to your vedio. May God bless you.
