Using some sort of twine or thin rope bands is a lot better imo than leather strips because it's better wearing where the signature is sewn to it, and because you can unravel and spread out the ends of the strands which makes it adhere to the boards better. Just a tip.

Thanks for the tip!

Well Done. From London i was looking for a workshop to join myself. Thank you finally i found someone sounds genuine and rumble appreciate that.

I enjoy book binding projects, and have made several. I never thought of doing black on black. It looks fantastic! I see a new book project in my future. Thanks for the inspiration!

What the heck, people! 8.5K views and only 679 likes? That's ridiculous. Don't forget to like the video! Keep Magnus' channel going strong.

Thanks Wethers, it's the never ending grind. Haha.

You never disappoint..... Be Well

i’m a fan of your videos

I find that if I score the edge of signatures with either an emery-board of fine-grade sandpaper, the glue binds the pages to the cover stronger, Just enough to rough up the edges.

Definitely need to try some etching some time.

Yes! Book tutorial! Definitely will make an attempt on a leather cover rather than my usual fabric ones.

Im from Russia, good luck

Hi Magnus, sorry I haven't been on much. Been really busy and eventually I'll watch your livestream replays eventually. Glad to see you posting videos again and not shorts. This is going to help me with my book *nods*

Beautiful work. Never thought of metal etching. You have me thinking. Very clear explanation. Thanks.

Awesome project. 💜

That's one slick looking book!

Fine job as always Richard, keep up the good work!

I would sell my soul for this book

Awesome book 🤘

Hey thanks for making cool stuff. I’m still wanting to etch bronze/brass from your video on that.

Answering this 3 months later. Get after it! It's intimidating but not that hard really.

That was my first book making video to watch. It was so interesting, thank you for presenting it to us.

Another awesome project!! Although I was laughing that you have dark horse written on your saw… you need to put a sticker on there to make it official 😂😂

Outstanding and educational as usual 100% full disclosure with the financial side of things, I do like your attitude and no fcukin around way you go about things. Your honesty is appreciated. A tip for you with the jigsaw if you stick a small strip of decorator's tape over the front of the cutout on the skid and mark it in line with the blade it helps hold a line when cutting. You are pretty good with the saw but it's always good to have another line to follow. I always had the blade wander on me at first I thought it was just the drugs and alcohol but it's apparently an issue you can get when using a smaller blade. You probably know this but I thought I would throw it in anyway. All the best from Scotland

Thanks for the kind words. Great tip on the jigsaw, we'll see if my brain remembers it. I did take it over to the belt sander for some help afterwards.

@Dark Horse Workshop to be honest you do have a pretty straight eye so you might not get any benefit from it. Just watched the etching show you made and I was surprised by the materials needed to achieve a good result, I thought you would have needed all sorts of crazy siht to get the result. I mentioned before that I'm going through your back catalogue of shows so I'm learning a lot from your stuff so thank you for your generosity with your time and talents. My shoulder surgery has delayed everything for me but hopefully, I will start drawing next week so I will be paying attention to your lessons on that. I might upload the drawings and plans on my KZread channel and if someone can learn from my mistakes I will be partly paying forward a fraction of what I've learned from you. I'm not kissing your erse I'm just being honest. And I will happily help with Scottish pronunciation if required as It can get tricky. Anyway, thanks again.

👍

Beautifully done. Do you think you could make a video on making a cover for a printed book? I’ve got one that could use a special cover

It's both a pain in the ass and rewarding. I do have a couple simple book videos on here though if you haven't seen them, which are about 90% less pain in the ass. :)

Can you provide a link where to buy the sheets of metal?

You can try jewelry supply places, or metal supermarkets. I buy it in a store.

I'm not needy really my videos are directly to advertise the patterns and art that I sell, and my other sources of income. If they were just ... free... there would be no videos.
