In this video I make a basic screw-post guarded album, suitable for items like photos or scrap booking. It is based on the specifications in Arthur Johnson's The Thames and Hudson Manual of Bookbinding. There are many other variation of these which I will explore in the future.

Any PVA/EVA designed for use with paper is fine as an adhesive. The specific glue I'm using is Evasol. I highly recommend Jade 403 and Planatol BB. It is a good idea to let boxes dry and out-gas for about a week before storing things in them.

Darryn, you are definitely the best bookbinding teacher on the internet. I have learned a lot from your classes. I follow channels in three different languages and yours is the most complete and technically based. I'm a teacher in Brazil and I couldn't have access to all this knowledge without your help. I am infinitely grateful for you sharing what you know. Greetings from Brazil.

I first saw one of these being made in the late '70s. Back then it was one of the things taught to cartographers in the British army and I just happened to be in the office while one was being made to hold reference copies of various maps. My recollections of how it was done were rather vague but watching this took me back to a much younger me 😁

Darren, I am rewatching many of your videos after a few years of casual bookbinding. I am picking up so many details that address issues I have had and that I missed as a beginner. For instance-using an awl to prick the board to help with alignment of the inside board covers. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills. And keep giving us gems like “the most excellently named Darren”!

I've made a few of these over the last year, printing my own pictures to 180gsm inkjet paper, books ending up 210x210mm and 297x297mm. Even with spacers at the spine and getting the grain the right way round I was finding turning the last few pages in the book got increasingly difficult as you fight to hold the front pages of the book out of the way the way of the last few pages.. I eventually started experimenting advancing the crease at the spine 1mm to the right every 10 pages, and as a result the book lay a little flatter and the final pages didn't have to wrap themselves so far round the first 30 or 40 sheets. Doesn't look so neat when you look at the bottom edge but it seems to work ok. I do like the solid back board though - I'll give that a go next time round.

@veronikavolhejnova5036 2 месяца назад

I did three similar albums with Japanese binding and filled them with my (now adult) kids' childhood photos as a Christmas gifts (much appreciated😀) Never thought about using screws though - would be easier to change pages when I screwed up the layout (forgive the bad pun). And I appreciate very much that diagram detailing cutting of the bookcloth for a front page - much more durable than what I did, surely. May repeat the gift next Christmas (plenty of photos still where the first ones came from, lol) Thank you as always!

I was so excited to see this video last night! I'm glad you made it, and it cleared up some thing for me. I was, however, flabbergasted that there was an example in the Thames and Hudson Manual, because I had skimmed it right before I had made a few models, and somehow missed in. I jumped up and ran to the book, and there it was! Anyway, great video, thank you as always.

I am currently making some ring binders and was happy to see that the Japanese hole punch is just the job for making holes in board (for attaching the ring mechanism). I was thinking about buying one but wondered if it would be up to the job, and so it is. The most challenging part is covering the boards with Kraft paper. I found this gorgeous real Kraft paper, tough, no lines, but boy, does it swell. I resorted to glue stick applied to the board which helped. I thought of trying the drumming in method you showed previously, but the paper was a bit too wrinkly off the roll. The moisture from the glue actually helped to smooth it out Thanks for sharing another great video. Greetings from Wales.

Would it be advisable to include a piece of plain, light paper such as Kozo as "page zero" to protect the front of the first photo?

@DASBookbinding 2 месяца назад

Good idea. I’m researching the use of glassine to protect photos.

@westernbear2265 Месяц назад

Thanks! I appreciate you leaving in the “here’s what I did, but here’s what you should do.” Did you emboss the “Photo Album” on the cover?

@DASBookbinding Месяц назад

Yes I foiled the cover. I'm using a backup hot foiler at present and it's playing up. Otherwise I'd do a video on it. Once I get number one foiler up and running again I'll do that.

@glenyslindner1340 2 месяца назад

Interesting... my husby is a Kingston (Kingo) boy. The Antarctic Division was also in Kingo. He went to the hugh school in Kingo with a boy named Justin Case. We often laugh and wonder what the boy's parents were thinking. So, maybe the held stock was actually for Justin Case 😂

@DASBookbinding Месяц назад

I wonder if there was more to the joke than I knew.

@2200chuck Месяц назад

Really interesting project! One question though. When you were marking the covers with your awl to locate the paper after applying glue, the video was going too fast for me to catch a detail I was looking for. Did you put 4 marks (1 at each corner) or 8 (1 at each end near the corner)?

@DASBookbinding Месяц назад

I put two in each corner, but some people have a good enough eye to not need them.

Thanks so much for your videos! Do you think it would be worthwhile to use something like loctite on the screws to keep them from backing out over time?

@DASBookbinding Месяц назад

I doubt they will but I have had it suggested to use a drop of PVA. Loctite might be over the top:)

I think I would hide the screw heads on the back of the album for a cleaner look.

They nearly always have them at the front. I think for access. I wanted to be able to take the front board off to foil the photo album on it.

What’s with the new music? It’s OK but I miss Bach.

@DASBookbinding Месяц назад

I'm just experimenting. That Bach I've been using gets lots of random copyright violation notices. It adds a couple of hours of work if I have to replace it. It's ridiculous that Google lets a company claim copyright for the "melody" of Bach.

@kristinjones743 2 месяца назад

I love this type of binding due to its versatility (you can keep adding or subtracting pages) and its industrial-style charm. What I don’t like is your choice of music. It’s very bland and repetitive.
