In this video I make a simple clipboard which uses magnets instead of a spring to keep it closed. The idea came from seeing a menu holder at Books and Boxes.

The cloth in the first example is Arbelave buckram and the second example uses Chelsea bookcloth.
I use Evasol EVA.
The board is generic 1.8mm acid free binder's board.
The card is 300gsm manilla coloured Bristol board.
Here is a list of suppliers relevant to bookbinding that I recommend.

"There is something wrong with that but let's not get into it..." I think this is how so many of us feel in day to day life and I love that you acknowledged it and put it into words😊

@BlueLineofthesky 6 дней назад

I also use magnets (smaller) for my boxes. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!

@carolesouthern8439 5 дней назад

An enjoyable watch, as always. So easy to follow. Satisfying snap a bonus🙂

@vdc7153 6 дней назад

Thank you 😊. I liked the idea but it was really cool for the refrigerator too. ❤

I am primarily a woodworker as a hobby and everything you said about skills building until you can intuit what works rather than hope something will work really hit me. i hadn't thought about it before but it is so true. it feels like the skill is like an expanding puddle of ink mixing with water. the leading edge is a bit fuzzy and unclear, but the core that is expanding with practice along those edges gets bolder and more comfortable. i had a magnetic clipboard kinda similar to this. had to put some 1/16" thick silicone non slip strip under the flap to stop papers from falling out. yours seems better. maybe stronger magnets did the trick? great video as aways.

Lovely well-thought-out job and an excellent result.

@kathleengarness1660 6 дней назад

Nice! I enjoyed listening to you think through the process of deciding to make the second one.The same technique could be used to make an artist's portfolio with flap closure.

My idea of a fancy meal is melting cheese over the chips (fries). I do like the whole concept of this project and have been thinking about making a screwpost album for a project I'm working on. Looking forward to the video on the hole punches. By the way, I hope you realise that your missin corner gauge is going to turn up the same day as the replacement one does - at least that's what happens with me.

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

I was thinking of asking Stepan if I could buy 6 of them this size so I can use them in workshops. The missing one would be a bonus. I lost the attachment for the vacuum cleaner recently and finally bought a replacement, and yep sure enough, the day before the new one arrived I found the old one under a sofa.

@edwardgurney1694 6 дней назад

Ooh, that snap does look satisfying, I may have to try this. Also "Pizza Mate" is definitely the name I would come up with if you asked me to improvise a name for an Australian pizza takeaway.

@jam4441 6 дней назад

Great tutorial. I was just trying to nut out how to make a magnetic bookmark so will use your methods from this video. Thanks again again.

@JMCatron 3 дня назад

I'm very curious- what do you want a magnetic bookmark for?

@jam4441 3 дня назад

@@JMCatron I am have made a prototype using the same process as this clipboard .The bookmark is only 10cm x 5cm so very small. I plan to make them to match some little sketch books I am making for the grand kids.(These sketch books will be covered in bookcloth I have created from printed fabrics.) I have never seen bookmarks with magnet embedded so I thought i would give it a go. Here is a basic magnetic bookmark in action, I think my DAS inspired prototype is so much better. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RqH8PE7OHEM.html

@addasenta 5 дней назад

Thank you! This might be handy for sketchers that want to use a single sheet of paper instead of a sketchbook. Sometimes a clipboard leaves marks on the paper. Thank you!

@DASBookbinding 4 дня назад

Good idea.

@LegoTankGirl 6 дней назад

one suggestion i've seen for camera mounts that might be helpful is to attach the camera to a length of modular hose clamped to the side of your bench which you can move around to get those weird angles. lovely video as always

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

The Adam Savage Loc-Line approach! That works well for phone camera. Not sure I'd trust it to my fancy Sony with its big heavy lens. Plus, it's more a spacial awareness thing. I'd still get in the way somehow. I just need a better cameraman.

@Syncromatic 6 дней назад

A few times I considered asking if you we're planning on making a video on something you mentioned in previous videos, but then realized I'm going to enjoy whatever you upload, so why bother. Also, I always get a chuckle out of your little side comments: "There's something wrong with that, but let's not get into politics"

@katyahum9826 4 дня назад

love it!!

@JRCSalter 6 дней назад

I've often wanted to make a box with a magnetic enclosure, but am concerned that the magnets would be so strong, they'd eventually rip through the covering material. Adding a thick layer of card to cover them first sounds like it would mitigate this.

@honestabe7080 6 дней назад

What an excellent project! I was building some portfolio cases for some of my valuable books and I had the idea of using Velcro to hold it closed. I have not tried it yet and I am not sure how I would affix the Velcro yet but it would be interesting to get your take on it (I suppose I could use magnets too).

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

Velcro dots used to be very popular in archives. They still get a lot of use but are falling out of favour. They are bulky and cheap ones will introduce nasty pressure sensitive adhesives into a collection. I really dislike them.

@honestabe7080 5 дней назад

@Buri8128 6 дней назад

How many kg could the magnet lift? As a reference how strong they are.

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

Sorry, no idea and difficult to measure. They're small and you'd have to glue something to them with something like CA glue. They are strong enough that if not careful they shatter when they fly together.

@BlueLineofthesky 6 дней назад

The green cover material...is it a kind of paper with special treatment? I work with PVC covering materials, kraft paper, scrapbooking paper, cloth...I will really like to try a budget friendly textured paper that is suitable for bookbinding.

@daveturnbull7221 5 дней назад

It's called bookcloth and comes in a wide variety of colurs and 'models' (some manufactureres make different types I believe). The particular one Darryn used for this was Arberlave.

@DASBookbinding 5 дней назад

I was a bit tricky and snuck in some lighter green Chelsea for the fridge version.

@DASBookbinding 5 дней назад

For a paper that is textured like cloth, look up Efalin paper. I used it in the bible box video.

@BlueLineofthesky 5 дней назад

@@daveturnbull7221 thank you. I have fabrics backed with paper. I like to work with them. I was wondering about textured paper because I like the textures. Sometimes I use some cotton with back paper that I make myself. I will look for the suggested brand. Thank you.

@leatheraccessories646 6 дней назад

I think you know that there is also magnetic tape only 1 mm thick and with a very good power?? I think that with a magnetic tape with a coverage of 75% of the width of the cover it would work even better

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

Maybe. I don't think the magnetic tape is near as strong. I know there is more area. And I think it would be harder to inset. But you should give it a go.

@leatheraccessories646 5 дней назад

@@DASBookbinding The phone covers have only 3 cm of tape!!! and believe me there is a stronger tape than the ones used for these covers! And at 1 mm thickness, there is no need to dig into the cardboard, you stick it directly under the canvas... I came up with this idea, but maybe I'm wrong!

@jessiej1746 6 дней назад

I need to stop watching these videos and put what you’re teaching into practice. I would love to make clam shell boxes for some of my favorite paperback books.

@DASBookbinding 6 дней назад

Clamshells might be overkill for paperbacks. Unless they are really special. A phase box is great for paperbacks and you make a photocopy of the spine and stick it on the outside of the box and it looks just like the book on the shelf.
