It's so easy in this day and age, with all the technology we have, to forget what a beautiful skill binding a book by hand is. I just spent half an hour watching a man work with his hands, without saying a word. I admit, in the first couple of minutes I was saying to myself, "okay, I get it, do I have to watch you fold every single page?" I don't know how I stumbled into this video in the wee hours of the night, but very quickly I found myself staring silently at the screen, completely in awe, taking in every single step. Most of us take for granted the amount of love that is put into the books we buy. We simply notice the work of the author and the illustrator. Well done, sir. Thank you.

honestly，the so-called modern technology does not make the bookbinding technique better, but make it cheaper.

I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m glad I did. No words, no fancy tools, just results with what I may have around the house. This is what I needed and thank you for your time and for sharing.

Wow!! It’s not a tutorial; it’s a piece of art!! Congrats, Peter!! 👏👏👏

It's been just over 2years since I first found you on KZread, and after a lot more tutorials and reading I finally am ready to start bookbinding for myself. I now have all my materials, tools, and pdf's to turn into books. I am bound to make mistakes along the way, but I'm okay with that. Thank you for helping me get started on this journey.

I will never look at a bound book the same after viewing your video. My father used to love to bind books but he never let us watch him. I had no idea it was so much work. Beautiful video. Thank you very much. It was lovely.

This isn't a book binding tutorial... This is a full on book tutorial. Thanks!!

You realise you just said the same thing two different ways? Book binding starts from making the signatures. Anything else is how to stitch it together.

...makes me appreciate those little "journals" available in Arts and Crafts stores....

Check if they're thread bound or just glued together at the spine, makes a huge difference in sturdiness. Also, they're most definitely not handmade haha 😅

Thank you Peter. This is a masterclass in sewn board binding from a master craftsman. No gimmicks, no distractions, just clear instructions. Well done.

Oh, sure! Bookbinder he is, film producer and editor he is NOT. I had to skip a lot of it because the footage was just repetitive. How many times does a person need to see them folding or cutting a piece of paper? A few times is great, seeing him fold or cut every fecken one is intolerable. Overall, there was about twenty minutes of video where you actually learn something. The rest was repetitive filler. The constant piercing of holes was horribly inefficient too. By lining up the block, marking lines where the holes are to be and then sawing slits with a 24 tooth hacksaw blade, the holes are made in seconds....literary. Then he's showing the stitching from the wrong side. You don't haver to know what the inside looks like, because that doesn't show the real meat....the kettle stitch. I find this to be a poorly done, and ill thought out, tutorial.

Angelus_Solus , lucky you. You seem to have some experience with book binding, and you seem to be a quick learner. I however am new to this, and being in my very senior years of life with the slowing of cognitive functions greatly appreciated the repetitive steps shown here. Your advice about the line up of pages and using the saw were good too.

@@angelus_solus Gerade suche ich etwas bestimmtes und finde immer wieder Kommentare von Ihnen vor. Sie haben nix besseres drauf als ständig zu meckern. KZreadr teilen per Video - das ist doch der Sinn?!?! SIE aber haben wohl den Komplettdurchblick?! Falls sich auf dieser Welt Klone davon befinden: Bewahre mich bitte jeder davor, einem von denen zu begegnen. Die sind unerträglich! Aber möglicherweise gibt es Angelus_Solus-Parkuhren, die frau/man(n) füttern könnte, damit sie Ruhe geben und ihren überflüssigen vermeintlich nützlichen Wissensballast einfach nur bei sich behalten. Möglicherweise ist Angelus_Solus einfach nur ein persönlicher Feind und braucht Hilfe? Es sieht aber so aus, als ob der "Filmproduzent" alles richtig gemacht hat - sonst würde der Neid nicht so an Angelus_Solus knabbern. Im Moment muss das grad mal meinerseits kommentiert werden.

Thank you for such a relaxing,informative and professional tutorial.It was so nice not to have the "noise" of someone's vacuous chit chat or selection of irritating music droning on! This is how I will bind my journals(just nowhere as good). Thank you.

I think my mouth was open in reverence for most of this video. Thank you so much.

Such Patience, Finesse, and Precision. It is lovely to watch you.

I learned so much, even though you didn't say a word! I am sure that my book Binding skills will rise up to another level after watching this

Dude! The way you did the end papers - Brilliant. Gonna have to try that on my next book. Thanks man!!!

PERFEKT ... Kurz-Knapp-Knackig und ohne rumgebabbel. PERFECT ... short and without blabla

Great vid. I love how you avoid tipping in an extra folio for endpaper. Clever!

Wow! That was fantastic! I've seen tons of videos about book binding but for me this is the best one. Direct and clear. Without any ramblings or wasted time. Finally I've understand several things I didn't before. Thank you so much! :)

Just think, this is how it used to be done a couple of centuries ago before modern machines. Incredible craftsman skills still being used today, amazing to watch.

Thank you for a clear purely visual tutorial. I could understand what you were doing because I have previous binding experience. Thanks for not chatting and having bad music.

This was such a joy to watch. I’ve made a couple of journals that screamed “hand made” - maybe by a child. This video has filled in all the details I need to make mine look professional. Thank you so much for sharing your technique!

This was amazing. Very professional. Thank you for sharing 🇿🇦⭐️ wow and wow! You are a true book making artist Peter

One of the most beautiful videos on youtube. Thank you for sharing. This is pure art.

This is the best book binding tutorial I have seen. Precision and art all in one. A beautiful thing to watch! Thanks!

I love making art journals, junk journals, etc. This is an excellent tutorial for sewing them up and putting them together! Thank you for sharing!

Thank God a master crafter. great lessons without the endless jabbering and chattering from most women making scrapbooks thank you very much

Brilliant! An art which I've overlooked. You made it look easy, but the amount of planning and precision is more than I imagined it to be. I was spellbound.

I was fascinated the whole way through. I loved your precision on every step. Beautifully done! Thank you!

All I can say is Wow! The amount of care and love of bookmarking really shows.

Wunderschönes Buch. So gut dokumentiert, dass man sich auch als Laie dran wagen kann. Gibt vielleicht ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für meinen Mann.

The best video ever. It was done in silence and done perfectly,. No useless chatter, just pure concentration ! GREAT WORK PETER!

It's a privilege to watch a master do his thing. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video! No nonsense, Straight to the core of it. Love your guillotine. You are a real craftsman!

this is so relaxing - on top of being instructional. love the pure visual instruction. Thank You!!

Congratulations, Peter! A clean and well-made video, exemplary at every stage for a refined and elegant final work..No need to deafen with inappropriate music ... Essential, direct, complete technique, and an impeccable result! Who uploads videos, should be silent, observe and learn ... Thank you very much

That was wonderful to watch, I had no idea the work that goes into binding a book. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I love this whole process... I can’t wait to try this myself! Thank you for having the best sketchbook tutorial ever!

Thank you for this excellent tutorial - you make it look so easy. I admire the precision of the way you work - I wish I could do the same.

I watched your work and I forgot my sleepiness 😊 I can’t wait to practice what I just learned; thanks so much.

This is fantastic - Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Followed this tute and managed to make a really nice looking book! Thanks for the tute, I had a lot of fun following it!

Beautiful work! I love the marble paper cover. Thank you for the video!

Thanks for showing the entire process ,beginning to end. Nice video.

You make this look so much easier than all the other videos I have watched!! I may give it a try now. I love this!! Thank You!!

Both informative, very precise and clear, and also soothing to watch it. Thank you for this. Also seeing how you sewed them together and the loops, made a lot more sense now compared to others I have seen. Again thank you.

Thank you Peter...excellent as always...you are so meticulous and it shows in your finished book...awesome tutorial.

Really, a fine job. Thank you.

Absolutely magical! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful process.

As I have poor vision, I would have appreciated some verbal instructions, but then each of us is different in how we learn. Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial.

Wow! Excellent tutorial! I learned just watching you! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. This was most enjoyable just to sit and watch you put this book together. A master craftsman ♥

Excellent video! You are a master! Thanks for sharing. Now I understand every step of sewing a book

thank you for this class and template! so helpful!!

Wow! I love the sewn end sheets! that is an excellent idea.

Very good tutorial. No distractions, easy to follow and very useful. Thank you!

Great to see a different method. I’ll be trying this one next. Thanks

Wonderful video which clarified some steps I was struggling with, thanks!

Thank you for this, this is a very useful practical binding. I have several software and hardware user manuals, anywhere from 80 to over 200 pages, that I want to print out in booklet form and bind for convenience, in approximately A5 size. This method will work very well, with one variation: I will print out a cover for each book on heavy paper, which I will then wrap and glue around the outside of the end paper folio to make a sturdy cover consisting of four layers of heavy paper. The back will have the identical paper without the printed cover.

Holyyyy 🤯 That was beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I used your instruction to make a little notebook a while ago and it’s full proof! I do wish this annotated in some way. It’s still useful either way. :)

Now I know how to fold paper in half!!! Great video.

amazing - a work of art - its lovely watching you work x

Very well made book. Clear and precise. Thank you. The video is great.👍

Fabulous tutorial! I had no idea!! Thank you very much. ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️

Fantastic engineering and craftmanship!

I’ve never seen a cover done that way! Very sturdy very useful

Thank you. Awesome video.

Thanks a lot for your time sharing this tutorial. It´s really useful. Thanks!

Fantastic demonstration!

Thank you for teaching me what I didn't realize I needed to know. This will be my method from now on. ~ Lisa

More attention should be paid to the actual spine, where the stitching locks the signatures together. The inside is irrelevant and yet that's where the majority of the footage was focused on where the sewing is concerned. Overall, I found it to be proper crap!

Not sure easy is the word I would use. Looks like a good deal of skill and know how to me. Amazing to watch. I guess it gets easier after you do a few? Either way I cant stop watching. It’s captivating. Thanks for putting these videos up.

Beautiful work Thanks for sharing !

Thanks a lot for sharing. How did you do the guide in the table top hand cutter?

Wonderful video! Thank you so much!

I wish I had that paper cutter. Thanks for the tutorial though, best I have found on KZread :)

This is incredible. Thank you.

Easy for you maybe. Not that anything was super difficult, but it does feel fairly laborious for one book. Turned out beautiful

Wow.. Precision, it was therapeutic 👍

Great tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing!
