Listen, that right there is a family heirloom. This is the book where you draw up the plans for the projects you do on the channel (or for personal.) Then each project is immortalized in the massive "Nerdforge Sacred Tome" which becomes a history of your works done. Also, the first project you design in it should be the pedestal that it will stand on, so that you have something that makes it easy to move around and write in.

For the trimming of book edges actual bookbinders use press/guillotine combo. The traditional (hand-operated) machine takes half a room of space, there is a huge flywheel which you turn to drop the blade down on the immobilized tome.

As a variation, focusing on the type of artists who focus on describing magical items for DnD and have those kinds of people loosen up the format and make something in it could potentially make for a book describing a buttload of mysterious and magical things.

Wow, so my grandfather actually passed down three "massive chunkyboi" books from the 1930s (size A3, the books are collections of newspapers in more or less full form from 1930-1933) It's amazing seeing how such a book is made. Mine are not in such a good condition as yours though. Mine were stitched on the side and only included "a cover" on the front and back, not on the side; that part is purely held together by threats (it's not in a bad state, it's just that they made the cover of the side purely by stitching).

The book must be called "The Millenary Book" and must be passed from artist to artist to be drawn. Imagine a fantasy book with over hundreds of different arts by different artists. Simply EPIC.

This book would be perfect for a massive art collab. Send it to artists all over the world, who then each get a page, and auction it off for charity afterwards, or something like that.

Maybe if you recorded everything pertinent to your family history .... if you haven't done so yet, research your 4 family ancestry lines ... maternal and paternal for each of you. Start the book off with beautiful calligraphy of your Family Trees. Be sure to leave lots of room at the bottom of each for additions. Several pages later, start recording everything you know about your ancestors, down to your parents and you two. It think this is a great way to begin this book. The rest of the book ... I have no ideas yet. But the beginning should be a beautiful, graphic, fully documented family history for each of you, as far back as you can go. Good luck ! Keep us posted on what you end up doing with this !!

You should invest in some Pipe Clamps or build some custom C-Clamps for all those projects you need a little more reach on your clamps for.

I used copper pipe i hammered flat Just remember every hole you drill is a new weak point in the wood. If you wanted to go for more permanent then epoxy infused wood would be a great material and you could make them more decorative.

I love it! you could do a mayor art collab with as many artists it takes to fill the pages with pictures, drawings and stories!

I’ve had an idea for awhile now about a “similarly gargantuan sized book” but to make it as a sort of family heirloom journal that gets passed down through the generations and family reunions where everyone can write in… Like just imagine having a family journal that size on a book stand that can chronicle personal histories of a family for however many generations that the size of those pages can last for!!!

Sewing signatures and headbands is honestly my favorite part. I find the cover process kinda like hitting a wall since I have no cover designs! 😅

Woah the amount of effort this took!🔥

Ok I've been mulling this over for a full day now and I have an EPIC idea for the THICCBOI book. It definitely gives giant spellbook vibes so why not not lean into that and make it a Grimoire? STAY WITH ME .. I promise that's not the epic part. So you give it the Grimoire aesthetic but instead of spells, potions, charms, and talismans you use it to document your most epic projects. Like including past ones. All your favorites projects and maybe ours too. 😆 But you document then spell/recipe style and list steps and materials and maybe include little margin notes or material scraps to add to the aesthetic. So it'd be like a Nerdforge how-to scrapbook that looks like a giant EPIC Grimoire. It'd be badass. And then yes you need to make it an awesome podium to sit on at all times because a book that size really does need a good place to sit and be admired. A book throne if you will.

It is shaped with one hand pulling the upper side to you and the thump pressing into the front edge and with a hammer you shape the back. After the shaping is done apply the gauze on the back and glue it again. ❤

I haven't seen anybody done this yet, and this is what I've been looking for for years. Thanks

You should use the book as a giant sketch book for your projects and just draw all the concept art on them! It could be like a giant history of all the cool stuff you’ve made.

Your new sketch book is EPIC, Martina! You could hand letter your own manuscript, make a family cookbook/potions book, write your life story or your family history.... Lots of options!

i learned how to bookbind from your videos, and now i have my own litlle shop of notebooks here in Brazil!!

I Love watching You Guys, I hope you'll come to Australia at some point

I was just about to sit down and write my novel but Nerdforge comes first. The book is amazing! Since it's a giant book with a lot of room to play with, you could do a calligraphy series where you take your favorite passages from books and intertwine them with illustrations kinda like those big medieval books with the giant letters starting out the first word.

yess! I need such video

You should paint the sides of your spell book like you’ve done before on other books. It would make it extra magical lol I love it tho, it’s absolutely beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing! 🤩

Omg yessss

Your silliness just adds a bit a humor to your videos. I love it.

looks like the perfect book for maps of all kind - fantastic ones but also real places, maybe the ones you visited for holiday

Now you need a big podium for it so you can look like an epic wizard with your spell book

Right? I've followed for a couple years now and it's been so nice to see their comfortability and personality grow

I remember watching the Adventures of the Gummi Bears as a kid always wanting that Great Book of Gummi for myself, this strangely reminds me of that show, haven't thought of that in almost 20 years. xD

Very nice build of a spell book, a couple of suggestions regarding the book cover indentations, either do the indentations before attaching to the spine OR make a clamping caul (convex edge on clamp side) and use your refular clamps at each end of the caul

We don't see Hansi on the channel nearly as much as Martina but every time he does show up I'm reminded just how well his energy compliments Martina's. There's a mutual chaotic vibe between them that works really well lol.

I just had an idea as Martina carried the finished book at 19:55 of her in costume, bringing this book out to a table with a group of adventurers (or their brainy members anyway) going through tomes for information on something, dragons for instance; Martina arrives at the table, drops the tome, wipes her brow, takes a deep breath...... "Oh, thank you, but we don't need that book anymore. We found what we needed." Martina hefts the book with a scowl, wanders off to put it back in safe storage, grumbling. Hmmm, maybe Joe Manganiello or Wizards of the Coast will see this and add it to their next D&D project. I know Joe is making a D&D documentary; but I recall him saying he wanted to make more D&D movies; a TV show with a recurring role for this super tome would be cool.

You should use it as like a “magic relic” and write down your creations as if their actual magic objects and write it in fancy using fancy sounding words + pictures

I think it'd be cool if you painted and wrote a fantasy world of your own creation like for D&D or something. I'd definitely read a book of that size if it had watercolor art of monsters, places, scenery, gods, characters, and magic. I'm currently compiling a journal of the information about my fantasy world, and I think it's really fun and interesting to think things over and write about them. If you have the drive, I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy the worldbuilding journey too!

Very cool. Could this be the start of a giant youtube collab where the book is passed around to other artists to fill? Would be epic. If a bit costly in postage lol.

Ooh I adore that idea!!

You could totally do a year-long series where you paint/illustrate something new in the book every week . Though I understand that it would take a ton of time and effort.

That's a perfect coffee table book. It would look nice mounted on a pedestal of some kind, or the wall on a custom rack / lectern. I've also used large books to hold up computer monitors or game consoles before, and that would be *far* more aesthetic for the purpose than a physics textbook. You could use it as a journal, writing down a record of each of your projects as you go along. You could collect peoples' signatures in it, or use it as a guestbook for your house. Write down anything funny you hear in it, so you can go consult it whenever you want to quote people you know -- having someone say something hilarious enough that you produce *The Tome* is a good bit in and of itself. Some people turn books into secret compartments, but that seems like it would be a waste of all the good paper you put in. I guess if you were careful how you cut it out, you could still use the cut-out bits to make a normally sized book, and then store that book inside The Tome. Get a friend who's good at calligraphy to inscribe advertisements into it, and get marketing companies to pay you for videos of pretty handwriting in The Tome. Massive sketch journal or cookbook are nice. Reference guide for bookbinding craftsmanship. Songbook, for any song that catches your eye. Gift it to the most hardcore scrapbooker you know. Gift it to one of the Green brothers and see what he does with it.

Absolutely loved this, given me an idea to make a huge Magickal Grimoire. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

it would be awesome to fill the book with stories about the projects you guys make, but told as a fairy tale of the two best craftsmen in the land :). you guys make the most stunning projects!!!

omg yes i love this idea!

I love love love the end result. 1. How much does it weigh? 2. What if you did some crazy huge drawing/painting challenge? Or 3. What if you did a detailed picture that is layered and carved into the whole text block, so that if you look at all the pages together it makes one awesome scene.

"This leatherbound book weighs over 20kg, nearly 50 pounds!" - from the description box. Heavy stuff!

Now, make a smol book! Love your videos !!

Reminds me of the book of shadows from the Charmed to series, now all it needs are the spells, absolutely stunning
