Making a Handmade Book - Part 2 - Rounding & Endbands 

This makes me want to be a better person....lol

I have just spent the whole afternoon watching your 5 videos on hand making a book. I really appreciated you not talking through them although you do have a pleasant voice . Your demonstrating of what you do is fully understanding to me without words. The music is lovely a soft background. You get right into your videos without all the hand wavering all over the place and silly chattering for ages. You have no idea, yes you would, with all the papers I have wasted trying to get a nice sharp edge. I don't have a lot of strength in my hands for holding down a ruler and using a craft knife to cut them neatly without the ruler movingI so using a wood chisel I am certainly going to give that a go.. thank you so much for that hint I have a good friend who is handy with wood, he made a cradle for me to punch holes with my awl, instead of using a piece of card with markings on for the holes and pushing the awl through the paper fold and making such a mess of my holes. I tried making a cardboard cradle, but it fell apart naturally, my friend had a good laugh at it but he worked out what I wanted. You have a lot of patience and obviously love what you do. Also taking the time to reply to almost all of your comments is wonderful. I have subscribed to you and look forward to many more of your videos. We are expecting a few more days of heavy rain, so I know I have a lot of time to enjoy them. Thank you once again for such great videos. I want to go and continue on my book making and be able to have nice straight edges.. Now to find if there is a decent wood chisel in the garage.. kind regards Jill

This is a beautiful book! I can't wait to see the finished book. Thank you for sharing this series!

Wow, probably the best videos on bookbinding I've seen. Very well detailed. Thank you.

Meditative and so beautiful. Tools, music and the overall vibe... Thank you!

Would have liked it if you showed how you treated the gold and orange and better how you dealt with the ribbon.

This has been the most informative and the most well put together video lesson for these endbands. Im rdy to give it a try now. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more. Subscribed

End hands are a lovely edition to the book however may have to watch your method of making this several times before attempting this way, I've usually done similar to the one you used in your mini book, but this one is pretty. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful work ! It is such a pleasure to watch such a competent crafter.

Meticulous and attention to detail. Love it.

beautiful videos and very informative. I would love to see how you build the cover.

I’m making a book with all the information I’m going to need to survive the coming apocalypse caused by the government, media, and corporate elite. I want it to be as beautiful as possible and made from as much scratch as possible. Thank you for your help.

All that pretty sewing and it won't be seen much. Lovely

One of the best videos for making books. Thank you so much.

Me too. It's slow, with certain stages and moves, with care and love. You acquire these by doing this!

I don't know that I could do that but I certainly appreciate the art!

zauberhaft arbeit!

That was lovely to watch, very informative. As others have said, please can we have part 3, need to know how to make the cover. Lovely video though.

This is a great video. Can't wait for the next vid with the covers in it.

you skipped what you did with the yellow and orange strings each pass… curious how those were wrapped ?

Omg!!! Fantastic❤

peaceful and healing

This is a beautiful thing I’m going to do this because is my homework from arts

nice work!

I'm not complete without a part 3!!

Thank you for sharing this technique, it is very well explained.

Wow,the video quality and dedication... You got yourself a new subscriber and a student

This video does not show enough for someone who had never done this before to get an understanding of how to make the headbands and endbands.

i love this job and want to learn it too, i am doing with some simple books

Nagyon köszönöm! Thank You very much!

Fascinating!

It would be super cool if you narrated what your doing or added captions this is truly amazing work love to see it

thank you for sharing!!

What a perfect video

❤love your work the videos the book the birdsong

I don't know why, but I feel like this guy has done this before.

So Perfect wow

Again Ur ASMR are uninternationally Good

I like your nice book your mate 👍🏻

Wooow!!! Cómo se llama esa herramienta?

Wow thanks awesome

Wonderful. Thank you so much for this.

Before you start trimming, how do you ensure book pages stay at the right angle?

What is the purpose of the headband? I heard it is just for the aesthetics, but it looks like it has a historical reason to be there. It improves the final look nonetheless. I thought it was way harder to make one. Good job.

Do you have a tutorial on how to get my chisels that sharp?

Why round the book? Is it purely aesthetic?

Gorgeous video and work! New subscriber. I also love the music and downloaded the few on the noisetrade site but not all are there--do you know anything else about the artist/tracks and if I can purchase additional music by them elsewhere?

Having looked through this overview series a couple of times, I'm just curious, when did the marbled end sheets come in? Were they glued in between the first two and last two sheets between Part 1 and Part 2?

Hello! What's the name of the tool you use to cut the final book? Thank you

And I thought the color thingy at the ends (color endbands) were just placed there with some glue. Great work!

Nicely done! But why do you add a mull backing? In my experience the mull is used only on support-free sewing structures, like machine sewing or modern chainstich. Support sewings (like chords or ribbons) don t need it, and might render the book a bit too unfrienfdly to open. The chords and paper lining usually make a book flexible and keep the round shape. I m curious about your motives.

Is part 3 coming out?

Is there any particular reason you use a wood chisel rather than a plough? I'm only asking because I currently use a French-style paring knife for trimming the block, and was wondering if there's merit to sticking with that rather than saving up for a plough

Lovely! :)

Can anyone tell me what kind of fabric he used in 1:26 of the video?

Hello! What is that mesh type you used to reenforce the spine? I've tried some-diy-things but most refuse to be glued by my pva

Part 3 please

wow! at some point, i forgot to breathe!

What kind of glue do you use on the rib of the book?

What are the different tools you use for trimming? In the medieval book video you were using a tool that rolls over the pages- what is that?

Eine wunderschöne Arbeit! Wie heißt das Eisen ganz am Anfang zum Schneiden des Buchblocks? What is the name of the iron tool to cut the bookcorpus $ar the beginning of the video)?

your work is fantastic. can you tell me which glue are you using?

Well, I should have been patient, as this is where you trimmed the folds.

That cordage that you wrap your binding thread around - what is it called? I want to order some, but I don't know the proper name for it.

What do you use to trim the book and where can it be purchased? many thanks!

very meticulous work my friend but a job well-done.

where can we find the things used in this video?

What kind of paper u r using?

Great video. What kind of cutter did you use? Where can I find it?

If I was making this book I would put the ribbon bookmark down the whole spine of the book, instead of at the edge

What do you call to the stiching method you use?

Why do you not show the full headband process?

I wish he would explain what he's doing.

What is that semi sheer stuff he puts over the spine?

So the video is nice but could you maybe show the whole headband making process not just the tying of the blue color, its really confusing.

🤩👍👍👍👍👍

👍

Great video. Thank you for sharing! I still have doubts about the sewing of the headbands, a) Did the needle pass through the center of signatures or between them? b) Is it risky passing the needle FROM the spine to the inner of text block? (to avoid damage paper it would seem safer passing it from the inner of signatures to the spine)

Awesome videos:) Where did you get your paper trimmer?

What do you call the net like cloth that was used after the glue??

Would it be possible to get a copy of my book bound like this by you?

The blue,red, yellow Threads is for what purpose,pls.

Am I the only one searching for a way to compile home printed booklets for homeschooling?

2:56 What is the name of that thing

Why do you shave the paper at the start of the video?

How did you learn to do this?

Alguien sabe cómo se llama la tela delgada que va en el lomo?🤔

Can you make a video on how to sew the end bands

Keep going plz

What glue do you use ?

Bro,where are your country?

One handmade sketchbook, that'll be $500 please

D

No D.

You should have shown, how you change the thread. If course be obvious, but then again not.

I fell asleep then my Amazon driver knocked on my door and scared the fuck out of me and my heart feels like it’s trying to come out of my chest

С синей ниткой всё понятно, а с остальными нитками что? Вы нам ничего по сути не показали. Фейк в заголовке ролика 🤕

someone has to learn how to make books for when the bombs start dropping

You are not showing it properly ~ you have fast forwarded it in places ~ this has not helped me too learn what to do ~ could you please do another one showing full process without any fast forwarding?
