In a world of cheap paperback books, I think bookbinding could be an addicting but rewarding hobby for me. Love your videos, they keep convincing me to get into it.

Actually, to be a coroner you need to have the same training as an “undertaker” and that takes at a minimum of a year. You work closely with cadavers during that time. It doesn’t take medical knowledge, but disposition of corpses is different from being a medical examiner, which does take medical training.

It depends on where you are. Here, the coroner is an elected position. You must get training on death and causes thereof. The coroner does not know anything about embalming, etc. that an undertaker would, other than what he may have random knowledge of. In larger counties, the coroner may appoint assistants, whose decisions are also recognized by the state.

​@@constancepentzer3017Another fun fact! In many places (like my hometown) the coroner also has the authority to arrest the county sheriff!

i started watching this but i fell asleep and I KNOW it sounds like an insult but i have anxiety, and falling asleep is so freaking difficult at night, imagine how difficult it is for me to actually take a nap. this helped me with 1) install text blocks and 2) take a well deserved nap. thank you so much

I listen to certain podcasts -sometimes over and over - for this exact reason.

These videos are like Bob Ross but for bookbinding. They’re so ridiculously calming, comforting, and encouraging. ❤ thank you

lol - that is Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka - oh goodness does that bring me down memory lane

I have a old Edna St. Vincent Millay paperback. I've had it since 1965. It been all over the world with me. I'm going to bind it! Thank you!!

NIK. You're an angel person. I have my mother's copy of Jane Eyre--now MY copy of Jane Eyre--that has lost its covers long since, and I keep wanting to bind it. My book-binding knowledge is scant at best, and watching your videos is helping me so much! Thank you, thank you! I'm getting braver every time I see one!

I am glad to hear it! I would def. suggest doing practice runs on some "not special" books first. =)

@@NiktheBooksmith Oh, definitely! I have a couple dictionaries and a few low-investment books I nabbed up from the library sale. :) This is just a thing I've wanted to do for ages, and I have the tools, so why not?

Thank you so much for showing the Oxford Hollow. This is going to make such a huge difference in my journals, and make them a lot easier to bind, too. I can't get over the fact that I keep watching you and still keep learning more.

I truly enjoy watching you bind a book. You're so skilled and precise in all your movements and the final result is always perfect and beautiful. I know you've bound hundreds of books in your career by now and it's a joy to watch an expert at her craft. I'd never heard of the Oxford hollow... thank you for the excellent tutorial for it. I can definitely see the difference it makes. Thank you again for this wonderful video. My condolences for the loss of your friend. God bless you. 😊❤️

Truly so very sorry for your loss. So glad you got to spend time with Brother.

I don't know why your videos came up in my feed, but I'm glad they did. I can see how bookmaking could become addictive. Just an FYI. The coroner doesn't actually do any medically stuff. They are more of an investigator. In a coroner's office, a pathologist (who does have medical training) actually handles the medical side. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's never easy to lose someone we care about, but it's even harder when they go suddenly.

Sorry for your loss 😪 A great tutorial, as always. I've always wondered if I could swap out a soft cover for a hard cover. Thank you for sharing your methods x

Thank you, I've made a few journals as I eco-print paper and fabric and this video has solved a few of my issues with covers 😊

I am blown away. I can't believe how beautiful that little book is. Your attention to detail is what makes it extraordinary.

I absolutely loved that tutorial. You explain everything so clearly and eloquently. You really got me on the whole segue into the coroner conversation. I was laughing because it was so far afield and yet felt like we were have a stream of conscience conversation over coffee. LOL. Anyway, loved the bookbinding education!!!!

I've just found your channel and I can't stop watching your videos! You make it sound so easy (I can't wait to try my hands at it), and listening to you is so relaxing. Love your personality - it reminds me of another lady whose channel I loved (Amanda, from Planterina); your voice, the way you laugh... I'm sold!

I'm sorry about your recent loss. Thank you for making such amazing things; you're so inspiring to me.

Oh gosh Nik I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. At least it’s great that you got to spend time with your brother. The Poe book and the Dictionary look like they should be in a library of a British noble property. I always learn so much from you, thanks. Take care of yourself and have as good a weekend as it’s possible.

I’m sorry for your loss, Nic.

I absolutely love watching you work. And the "I need a drink" was a great chuckle. Thanks Nik for sharing your skill with us.

Thanks Nik ! Learnt about Oxford Hollow today ! Will be using that tomorrow as I repair an Old Engineer's Handbook that belonged to husband's Uncle Frank. All the best from Adelaide South Australia.

Thank you for sharing this! I've watched a couple paperback-to-hardback binding tutorials, and yours is the most "accessible" - not a lot of specialist equipment or complicated calculations! I will definitely be using this to preserve my own novels for our library!

I really enjoyed watching you recover the book! I"m almost as old as that Poe book (gasp) and I totaly know the feeling of needing a new cover! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend passing. Sending you some love and good juju!

Very nice tutorial Nik and a very good explanation of an Oxford Hollow. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and hopefully you have loads of really good memories shared with them. In the UK a coroner is also appointed by the local authority and is usually a lawyer but they may also have medical qualifications. The UK Gov website defines it as: "A coroner is a special judge who investigates unnatural or violent deaths, where the cause of death is unknown, or because the death took place in prison, police custody or another type of state detention, such as a mental health hospital." They do this by listening to testimony from all the relevant experts and also to any witnesses etc.

You also need to be a qualified barrister or solicitor with minimum 5 years experience. It takes a long time to qualify here!!

Excellent video! Learned much, Thanks Nik!

Also, my condolences on the loss of your friend.

Great video! I am deeply sorry for your loss. 🙏😍

Watching you do detailed work, flawlessly, is almost like meditating. Especially in this you-tube world where things are so slap-dash. Thank you.

So sorry for your loss. Wish there was something more I could say other than just that to offer comfort.

The mental process seems relatable. Also, that was a really great outcome with an easily accessible set up. She got the sub.

Thoroughly enjoyed your video & commentary!!! 🌺🌺🌺

Gorgeous 😍 👏👏 Condolences for your friend🙏❤

Amazing job! I too have an old book that I would love to turn into a hardback. I might have to watch this about a hundred times to get up the nerve to try. 👏👏👏

Your bookbinding videos are so relaxing, when I'm anxious and I watch them they always make me feel better. Besides I've learned so much. Thank you❤

This was so satisfying to watch and learn. Thank you!!!

I love watching you do this stuff!!! You are sooo good!!! I will probably never ever do this, but I could watch you all night!! Also love your crime stories. I am a true crime reader. Thank you so much for allowing me to watch you.

😀 made my first oxford hollow watching this

So sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for your videos. You do beautiful work!

Sorry for your loss ❤

Great video. Btw sincere condolences...though late..i just happen to see your book binding tutorial. I really appreciate. Thxx

Why u have the best videos!!!!! Love your work so much❤️❤️❤️

That last bit was scary. I don't think my hand is steady enough for that! You took an ugly cover and elevated it to a supreme level. If books had feelings, then this one would thank you for giving it another 100 years!

I love this! That was gorgeous. Thanks so much for doing this.

That was amazing. Thank you Nik.

This came out beautiful!!!

Thank you...thank you...thank you...this was exactly what I did not know I needed to watch.🎦🎑

I so love watching you and as a crazy bookbinding hobbyist, i find you also wonderfully informative. Thankyou so much for sharing yourself with the world!

I am so sorry for your lost .Wish you feel better soon .

It looks fab ,thank you for showing us .

Just beautiful Nik!!

WOW!! How interesting!! Thanks for the tutorial!!

Love learning from you and your videos!

I used this to rebind a book for my very first time (a very well loved copy of The Fellowship of the Ring rescued from a closed library). It’s not perfect, but it’s so cool to have a book I bound myself. Thanks for making this!

WOW! 🌟 Beautiful Cover! 👍

these videos are always informative yet so investing, i love them!

Very much enjoyed this, thank you!

You are so inspiring! I’m loving every minute.

These look so dear and pretty! Great job!!!

Loved this!! Very well made! The outcome was beautiful!

breathing is optional 😂 i loved your commentary, im so sorry for your loss, keep binding on

Wow, that’s beautiful😍

Learned so much today! Thank you for sharing. 🥰

This was interesting. Thank you @Nik the Booksmith.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED when you said everything is optional; because I used that saying so much myself. Thank you for the video as well as the commentary I hope you are doing well.

This was lovely. Thank you.

absolutely wonderful

Very cool Miss Nik! You're such an excellent teacher! Thank you!

i enjoy watching your videos so much - your work amazes me and you teach us so well - while watching i always find myself saying - wow i think i can do this - so thank you for all you do Nik - this little chunky dictionary came out so pretty - I am so sorry for your loss it's always very hard - be well and take care of yourself xx

I really loved this one and honestly I'm very excited to try doing something like this myself! Your videos and guides are always extremely helpful and inspirational - and the product turned out really beautiful!

Thank you Nik, this was a great video! I love the paper that is on the cover! It’s beautiful.

Thank You, Nik !

As always, you are truly gifted at what you do! Love watching you work, and I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

Fantastic! What a craftsmanship. Thanks for the video

Love, love, love your work!!! Every time I watch a video from you, I want to cover or make a book 😁

Absolutely gorgeous.

Most enjoyable - and entertaining. It's interesting the differences between your US and my UK culture. My chipboard would be your particle board and most unsuitable for bookbinding! Over here the coroner - officially the King's Coroner - needs to have at least five years experience as either a barrister (court room lawyer - the ones you see in wigs and gowns on TV) or a solicitor (general practice lawyer, can present a case in family/lower courts too) and that's to become an ASSISTANT coroner! Going to seek out your video on making headbands now . . . 🎼OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love Feel so fine Walking in the rain with the one I love All mine . . . 😇

I am so going to try this out! Thank you for this video!! It's always lovely watching you work

I loved your video!! I’ve learned a lot with this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your art.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your friends family🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️ As for this video, omg 😱 what a awesome job. I truly enjoyed learning how to do this. Also I always thought a Coroner had to have a Doctorate Degree, or something to that effect as well. That's an interesting tidbit, to know. I remember my Mom, also said she wanted to become a Coroner. She was a Nurse over 35yrs. I asked her why would you want to change your career after all these years? She said, well at least they won't be able to talk back to you, like some onory patients do.... I thought about it, it made sense, I suppose lol. Thanks for another amazing video. Have a great day🤗

This was truly magnificent to watch ☺️☺️☺️

enjoyed very very much!🦌💌❤️📚

That’s beautiful paper! I learned so much from this!

I just love your style all the way around!

I wish we were friends or something… so I could some how bribe you to do this to all my books!! Once I get around to reading a book for the second or third time, it just seems to fall apart.. and they mean so much to me😢

Thanks for the video - it's brightened my day.🙂

i just found your channel and am so excited to start rebinding my books. You're so encouraging and relaxing to listen to!

That is really cool! This is a FABULOUS upcycle to paperback books that people may want to keep, like the language dictionaries. I am going to give this a try with a few of my reference book paperbacks that I have.

Wow. So beautiful. You make it look so easy.

BRILLIANT THANKYOU JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

This is such a fascinating process to watch. It's such an art form. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great tutorial - beautiful little book - thank you..

🤩 Love it 😍 😊 Thanks Nik 💖✨💝💫

amazing video! definitely going to try to use your tips for a couple of old books I have. thank you!

Your work is beautiful.

absolutely brilliant. i learned a lot xx❤😊

You are such a kindred spirit! Thank you for this video and needed dialogue. 🌿

You are a wonderful teacher.

Love, love this tutorial. Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques.

This is really nice Nik. I don’t think I can be so precise!
