I massacred a Lord of the Rings book to make this  

I just watched it and wow 😭 I’m still a newbie fan (started watching when the finger glove video came out) so I love getting to see these older videos!!

It's good but probably could have done without the lights/light up emblem.

You and patty gurdy sound alike. I mean this as a compliment.

Have you ever had a collecter reach out to buy your custom books?

It's beautiful. I'm not even a fan of Lord of the rings 💍 s

If i ever got my storyvdone, i'd ve *ecstatic* if i saw someone do this

@@TSC907 Lol ikr I'm currently working on 3 novels and starting 1 more and I'll be surprised if I ever get them all done

​@@r3dleaf ooooh what're they about? (If you don't mind me asking :)

I'm an aspiring author, and oml I would love that

@@r3dleaf same... we'll get there eventually😉

Yea she is the ultimate role model for you..... You know.

​@@shikhamondal2348no I do not know please enlighten me

@@shikhamondal2348 Projecting much? Also, even if they were smitten on top, that doesn't devalue their admiration for skill, craft and learning.

did steve from minecraft type this?

I can do a bit of metalwork myself, leather work for me has always been shoddy but functional. I am truly inspired too.

She looks 10 years my junior, and seeing this really shows I've wasted my life.

Craftswoman

​@@personalsighCraftsman is unisex....

@@WilsonL15 no it isn't... There's a clue in the word

​@@personalsigh by that logic, human isn't unisex. congrats, you've successfully denied all women of their human rights. what do you have planned next?

Real

gal I think.

​@@truthhunterhawk3932thats crazy how no one cares

@@truthhunterhawk3932 True, but she has earned the onorary status of "bro" due to her mad skills, as well as appreciation and respoct for the classics.

@@coadacatalin4510 "Cars" fan? Yeah, I get you

@@bagektheaimineer thats alright, because I don't particularly care either

Same

Why commission when you can learn it yourself

​@@Steph.98114 all the equipment is so expensive for something you'd do like three times, especially when they are more likely to get a better outcome from an artist. Thats not even addressing the time it would take when your career isnt in craftsmanship and you have other things in your life to worry about. Weird question ngl.

@@octavia8836 not a weird question, all kids have shop class where I am from and when I was 11 all of us got to do knife handles and sheaths. Leatherwork and copper inlays. All knifes looked good at the end. You don't need a lasercutter for 3mm wood. A jigsaw and time works well too. It will not be as good as Nerdforges result but it will look good enough.

Skilltree also did several scratch "tomes" for dnd and/or LARP.

That looks so juvenile. It looks like an 8 year old bought a Harry Potter plastic toy.

​​@@bigbob3772"licks tongue" is a fascinating mental image

​@@heheheiamasuperstarcatgirl8485 ...it took me a few seconds to comprehend that

Hehe saw what you did there

Can confirm. I started re-covering my Harry Potter series and my sister asked me to keep the 5th books cover bc it was her childhood and nostalgic as well as ✨special✨ Tbh I don't blame her

Calm your cringe down, No one would pay thousand dollars.

@@hummingbir6 You underestimate the crazies of the book collector community.....

​@@ryukin_iiiBook collectors are collecting vintage original books, not regular books dolled up to just look pretty. The value vomes from the originality

Easton press makes a leather bound LOTR 5 book collection with 22kt gold embossing, foiled pages, actually sewn in, and it’s like $400

@IDiggPattyMayonnaise it's not the value of the book itself. It's the value of her skills and knowledge of leather work, metal casting, etc and the time and effort it goes into doing something like this. Hand made things are far more valuable and expensive than mass produced factory made things. Especially when they are done well and are one of a kind.

Omg yeah! I DIDN'T NOTICE- Tysm for telling us lol

Garden trowel A Spade is a Rectangular, Long handled object used for digging

@@davidkingsley3244 close enough

I didn't notice until your comment 😅

I'm embarrassed to admit that it took till reading your comment to notice she were holding a goddman spade

@@davidkingsley3244 ah shit, you're right. Fixed it. But aren't trowels *also* used for digging?

Not quite. To be perfect, the Red Book of Westmarch needs to be clad in red...

​@@ohauss Yeah or yellow and green, like how the books are sold as separate books

SPORTS

it's in the game

Vvvvrrrr (Xbox startup)

Valid.

I really hate to come into an awesomely perfect project like this, and start talking about "YoU ShOuLd HaVe".... but she really should have put a few LED's along the edges (and maybe have a little slide that let's them raise just about the depth of the pages) so it could light itself up too. I only say this because she already broke out the LED's for the cover, a couple on the top or side would just be fucking amazing.

Literally looks like a fantasy spellbook. Read some ancient text from its pages and summon a miniature dragon as a familiar.

South Park nice

@@RobotMaster2737huh?

AMEN!

Definitely... I mean wow

I'd love that on one of my copies of LOTR

She does commissions on other various projects like dnd terrain.

I would think $400 or more. Just guessing.

it looks tacky as hell

I wish I could buy it for my boyfriend but it should honestly be $2-$3k

Odd, I only knew the word trowel for masonry work. Had no idea the gardening tool was called that too.

I love to admit I only noticed this after seeing your comment 😂

He died

​@@lizzywhite1286 He died in 1973

@@jacksonscott9857 sorry, I don't follow that stuff. Still sad. R.I.P

BRO THERE IS A REASON WHY HE SAID HEAVEN.

@@lizzywhite1286 yo, I said HEAVEN

Not to be a dick or anything but I bet really stressful emotional things make you snot bubble cry lol

@@brandonreed9508 no, but fair judgment lol

Why did I not notice that

...I had to restart the short to make sure you weren't messing with me

I didnt even notice it until you pointed it out lmao!!

​@@midtwilightbluesame

I never even questioned it, always saw it in her hand but never once did I think about it XD

And the person who made it isn’t bad looking either 😉

I'll probably just stare and admire the cover tbh 😂

U dont judge book by its cover,ever.Rookie ....

​@@chameleon8844right?

Not 100% sure what word you were looking for but epiphany ain't it, that's for sure.

What the other guy said. Not sure epiphany is the word you meant here

Epitome, probably.

That word... I don't think it means what you think it means.

​@@silversamurai0267 you don't think or you don't know lmao

Also, maybe paint the leaves on the block edge?

Cool idea

Thats a good idea but in my opinion it would be a little too much. I think she she should keep the book still looking like pages and not stray away the attention from the cover.

I've always wanted to learn bookbinding, it seems like the perfect job for a book lover.

​@@jacqulyynw yeah me too , i wonder where i can learn it

Thirding having always wanted to learn it and wondering where to?

​@@littleleakyleakythere if you're in Europe you can apply for a cap in Normandy or paris in "reliure" or there's a DNMADE in école Estienne. Otherwise there's le Vésinet but you have to pay for those and then you always have the option to ask a bookbinder if they'd take you as an apprentice.

Honestly, this sounds like a perfect candidate for renewing interest via social media. Set up a RU-vid channel, place your phone on a tripod while you're working and just have at it. Make it calm, with lower range vocal tones and maybe some voice over narration to describe your processes, and I guarantee there are people who would watch it.

Im probably missing something but how are Amazon and WotC related? Or tie back to this? I genuinely wanna know cause this comment stook out to me and Im clueless lol

​@@izzyq9200amazon made the "rings of power" show and WotC just did a magic the gathering X LotR cards. Thats all i got for context, maybe this helps.

@@izzyq9200 Wizards of the Coast decided to completely disregard and disrespect the original vision Tolkien had for several of his characters in their depictions of several of the characters. For instance, they made Aragorn black despite him being SPECIFICALLY described in the book as being fair skinned. Simply because they wanted to “be more inclusive”.🤢🤮

@@defendedshadow9664 seems kinda weird to reduce Aragorn’s entire character down to his race when it’s irrelevant to the entire story

@@elizacevert4017 It’s a decent part of his character since he’s intended to be an homage to a scottish king iirc

Dont wish do it, JUST DO IT make your dreams a reailty I believe in you

Yro’ue

Ye'ruo

Entièrement d'accord c'est mon constat également x)

Why do they have to? It’s the publishers job to make the cover look nice. Amazon just distributes it.

@@_quidd he’s referring to the shitty show

@@kingrhys9445 the show wasn’t that bad tbh. People were just as angry about the films but now everyone loves them.

@@TT-fv5ro the show was an objective abomination made by soulless untalented hacks who hate everything good and beautiful backed by a soulless mega corporation. They took a a great Englishman’s story which was an alternate legend of European history and pushed modern American ESG approved casting and writing on to it. The original LOTR films were very good, because they attempted to copy the book as much as they could and respected the source material. Peter Jackson himself stated that they were making these films for Tolkien and since New Line were going under at the time so they banked everything they had on LOTR and it payed off, they even gave the editors a full year to work on each movie. The Hobbit movies are terrible too, but that was down to New Line’s absolutely terrible production management and handling of the project.

lmao die mad

crafting cool shit is literally her job...

A theatre or film studio could use her abilities.
