This series is perfect for our bookbinding school in Eritrea- we are trying to make our own presses with local carpenters and a book plough would be so useful.

Is there any way one could find out more about your project? I would love to learn about your processes!

Ooooh, I am so excited to see this interaction between Carpentry and Book Making! You must be peeking over at all the crazy things that interest me 😘

It's nice to see you again . You're teaching us the Art of making a good book that will last for Decades !

My daughter has been binding books as a hobby for a few years, and I have helped her make several of the tools she uses. She asked about making a plow plane (which is an entirely different kind of plane to a woodworker). Over at The Renaissance Artisan project they have an article about making one of this design with lots of still photos. This video is a great complement to that. It shows details that aren't in the other article. Together they make it very clear how to make a plow plane. Thanks for this video!

Pretty neat project. I bought a giant guillotine cutter which works well, but this seems much simpler for diy.

@@tinmanthree I guess it depends on how big it is. If you have one that is cast iron and can cut 500 pages at a time, then you don't need a plough!

Very cool! I've always wondered how books get made this will be super interesting. I am also enjoying your cinematic/dramatic lighting.

Thanks for something different. Unique content is rare and appreciated.

Fascinating. I've never seen one of these. You're a woman of many talents.

This has been a fun project to follow along with! So beautifully shot as well!

I'm building my own standing/finishing press. I will want a plough at some point. I had already bought a Stanley plane blade. It already has a hole! I'm glad to know they work out well.

Brilliant idea..... I always love your work Lin.....

I absolutely love your book binding series and looking forward to more videos!! Such a simple, but effective tool

Hi Erika, that's so great to hear, thanks!

I have heard of a book plough before but I have never seen one before. This looks like a really good system and it looks like a lot of fun. Keep the great videos coming Thanks for sharing and God bless

Very excited to see more. Really enjoying the variety of your videos recently: CNC, trailers, solar power. Now bookbinding and sewing?! Very exciting. Also, I enjoy seeing the proper way to do do this, but hope you’ll show us some “more frustrating” ways to bind books as well.

Great video Lynn, never heard or saw one of these tools. Thanks for the education 👍

I love these hand tools for bookbinding. I worked at a print shop while in college and used the giant paper cutter to trim books, it was a pretty intimidating experience the first few times I had to do the final trim for books that my coworkers had spent days printing, assembling, and binding. The slicing thunk iof the giant blade was the stuff of nightmares.

Precision book binding!

Pretty cool!

That's amazing!! Exactly what I was looking for, how to make the plow!!

The advantage of a book plough over other paper cutters is that you can plough the book in-boards, that is after the book has been laced into the boards. This is the traditional method of ploughing a book. You'll notice on better, older books the fore-edge is concave. This happens when you plough the fore-edge after the book is laced into its boards. You open the boards so they sit below the vise. The the spine is flattened and the vise tightened. After you plough the fore-edge becomes concave when the book is out of the vise and the spine returns to it's proper shape. There's a more detailed explanation here: www.adelaide.edu.au/library/special/exhibitions/cover-to-cover/edge-trimming/

Brilliant video

Pretty amazing tool indeed, Linn! 😃 Fantastic work! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks MC!

That was very cool!🙌

This is so cool!

I agree, using a plough is just night and day a better way to trim a book edge than some of the other methods. Though admittedly, using just a plane blade on a lying press is just as effective and much cheaper if you don't have the money to buy a plough. You can make a easy/cheap lying press with 2 boards and some threaded rod. Then use a block plane blade to trim. It's not as easy as using a plough and a nice press, but it's just as effective and produces professional results. Much better than using a razor blade or a big paper cutter (which is also expensive, and IMO isn't as reliable to cut straight and true as a plough/plane blade).

Very cool!

loved it

Amazing...is Verry smart

she's so crafty!

Neat! Love the video.

Thanks Edward!

Nice video 🖖 👍

Nice to see some book binding again. It sure can be frustrating getting square and crisp cuts with only regular tools, but perhaps it's just more practice that's needed? I've always struggled with accuracy on the size of the hard board, so if you have tips on that? Thanks! :D

An amazing series!! Exactly what I am wanting to do! Do you have a source for the plans? Again, very nice channel.

May I suggest small brooms suspended on both sides of the blade to sweep the cut paper pieces away from the next slide of the trammel. Something like those used with CDC or or other dust collection heads. You wouldn't want them too efficient or they may crumple the flotsam and jam under the runners -- more often than already occurs.

I make my own sketchbooks getting a smooth edge on the paper always eludes me 😅 can I come over and use that? 🤩

Thats is really cool i also make different types of paper planes that you can watch all on my playlist

Hola ,genial tus videos..yo he tenido la idea de hacer esta misma herramienta pero funcionando por medio de un ARDUINO...crees que puedes ayudarme...THANK YOU.

Hello, your videos are great ... I had the idea of making this same tool but working through an ARDUINO ... do you think you can help me

You created a Bladerunner!?

👏👏👏

👍👍👍

Can I purchase one of these items from you?

Another type of book plough made by Dryad and restored by Darryn of DAS Bookbinding: kzread.info/dash/bejne/amac1qmEk9e0nMY.html This one would be a lot easier for a beginer to make.

I was thinking something similar, but since I only recently discovered that channel I couldn't remember the name, thanks for linking it, I intend to make one myself eventually
