Great way to do nice flat corners, much flatter than radiating pleats, by the look of it. And lovely headbands!

Been watching bookbinding stuff and I'm amazed at the skills of these people. I wish I could do that.

عمل اكثر من رائع..شكراً علي المجهود.. كم انا قلق علي انقراض هذا الفن من مصر

I'm in awe of your work. Allah bless! I've always wondered how it was done. Thank you for the video

This is a beautiful piece of art that you have created. It’s obvious that you have done this for quite a while. I love the tradition of your work. This was very enjoyable to watch, and you my friend are just a fantastic craftsman. I have some very old leather bound books and have admired them, but to see you work is a real learning experience for me, and a true pleasure. Thank you, warm regards from Canada, eh!

Such beautiful and skilled craftsmanship. So good to see these traditional skills continue into the modern age.

Omg what amazing and detailed books!

With all due respect to the people involved in this hard work and detailed art, this is not traditional Persian binding, it s modern bookbinding, casework to be more precise, done by hand bookbinders. That is, a very, very new technique. The traditional methods I believe are only done today by restorers and conservators. A modern binder would say he was taught this method by his master, who was taught by his master who was taught by his master and it would seem quite a long lineage, but it would be in reality no longer than 60-80 years. Check out the work Sherif Afifi does when it comes to traditional styles.

This may be modern but it isn't common anymore, this type of work is pretty expensive to be used broadly or commercially. Having done some book repair in the past, I wouldn't want to touch one of those books for fear of destroying it further.

nobody says it s common. It s just not Traditional Persian binding, but modern casework. Traditional binding is oftentimes done on the finished sewn book by stretching the leather and covering the boards, then tooling it.

Bro, the design over the binding may be persian art but binding technique is modern. But at least they should preserve these art for future generations.

Amazing! Thank you for this.

This is what you call art and skill! Our traditional knowledge and skills are on the brink of extinction, we should cherish and protect our valuable traditions with everything we can, because if we loose our traditional knowledge we lose our identity and culture as well, to secure your future you must protect your past!

Wow they do the finishing before attaching the cover

Excellent Art

When you sharpen your knife on the big stone, it that an abrasive kind of sharpening (removing metal, like a Norton stone) or a butcher's steel kind of sharpening (moving and manipulating metal).

If you're referring to the raised hubs, as they are called, just beneath the leather cover material -- these are in imitation of the heavy cords upon which earlier books were traditionally sewn. The cords were then integrated into the cover boards as a means of attachment. Lastly, the leather material would be pasted onto the spine (by means of a flattened tubular paper structure) and the cover boards, afterwards being "turned-in" around the inside of the boards and spine. Quite a lot of work compared to the case binding used here. What makes that feasible is modern adhesives and reinforcing materials.

Muito bonito o trabalho. Totalmente artezanal.

@@Zeelian Of course you probably know that when sewing books on cords was the principal method used, materials and adhesives were very different from what is available today. Wheat paste and animal glue require a more integrated method because they have shortcomings that PVAs do not. So yes, it is possible to take shortcuts without losing durability and utility. And our lives are full of decorations and design elements with many different aims -- are books somehow apart?
