What a sweet thing to take away from this. I feel the same way. ☺️

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

Thank you! You are correct in that modern headbands are purely aesthetic. It is my understanding that more traditional sewn ones like these are meant to prevent undue wear on the top of the spine covering when the book is being pulled down off a shelf, but I would still say that that is secondary to the visual appeal.

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

Why round the book? Is it purely aesthetic?

@FourKeysBookArts

3 жыл бұрын

Rounding the book helps to reduce the 'swell', which is the increased thickness at the spine caused by the sewing thread. Thanks for the question!

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

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.

@FourKeysBookArts

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the excellent question! My reasoning is simply that it is the method I first learned. In Arthur Johnson’s book on bookbinding he describes mull and Kraft paper being used on all of his bindings, including those sewn on tapes or cords. But of course his priority was always strength and longevity. For a casual journal or sketchbook like this a more supple spine could certainly be an advantage. As I learn more about this craft it has become apparent that there are as many methods for making a book as there are bookbinders. Thanks for watching!

@@FourKeysBookArts when I was a rookie, nobody would teach me anything so I began to learn from youtube or tutorials. Once I got the hang of things I asked around other people also starting out. I Used to cover the first mull of the printed hardcovers in wood PVA, then glue cotton fabric, then paper, then once more, paper. The result was stiff as hell but hey, guess that s how it s supposed to be :)) Once I began reading old bookbinding manuals and learned, things changed. A lot. yep, pretty sure mull is not needed on chord-sewn bindings, only paper lining. Best of luck, my man!

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

@FourKeysBookArts

3 жыл бұрын

The honest answer is that at the time the chisel was all I had. The French paring knife is likely a better option, as it has a rounded profile that will help prevent it from catching in the paper, a problem I have encountered with the chisel. Both have the disadvantage of being hand-held, and therefore susceptible to wandering in the cut and being hard on the hands over a long period of use. I intend to make my own plough in the not too distant future. Thanks for the great question!

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)

@FourKeysBookArts

2 жыл бұрын

Glad you liked it! To answer your questions, the needle goes through the middle of the signature, and yes this is the safer way. I have never sewn an endband from the spine inward, mainly because there would be no control whatsoever as to where the needle came out. I have another video that shows the endband process in better detail here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c3qG1MSxqc3Loqg.html. The endbands start around 21:00. Thanks for watching!
