Hi everyone! My name is Dennis and I'm the owner of those unmanicured hands that keep getting in the way of the action in my videos. I'm a self-taught bookbinder and in May 2019 I filmed myself making a book and uploaded it to KZread. I actually left the book unfinished for many months, until I discovered that people were actually watching the video and wanted to see the book completed! Since then I've been learning the craft and building my skills. Along the way I try to document my projects and pass on any pearls of knowledge I may stumble upon. I hope you'll take some time and explore the channel, and if you like what you find then please do be sure to subscribe. Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers,
Dennis
P.S. Many of you have reached out to ask me if I take custom orders. While I do appreciate this outpouring of appreciation for my craft, I must politely decline any such inquiries. Apologies in advance for any potential disappointment.

Yes please. More marbling!
This is the ACTUAL best Dune spinoff 😊
You are an incredible craftsman. This Sir, is art!! I love all of your content, but this one is a masterpiece.
I love learning about paper marbling. Great intro to the topic!
I know it's just chemistry but I swear a little bit of magic is in there as well.

Awesome results!
I live in Turkey. We call this Ebru Sanatı meaning Ebru art. We did this in middle school (might have been elementary) in art class. I think kids still do this in school. It's a cool little tradition.
Is there a way to get a better look at your drying system? I have all the supplies I need to begin marbling, except the flat surface to dry the sheets. Thank you for sharing this informative video 😊
Love the way it looks. When you were using the pipets, it got me curious if you have ever seen anyone spray the paint on? Like with some kind of type of plant sprayer.
We learnt to do this in our school library when I was 7 - I loved it and it still has wonderful memories 50 years later.
My goodness this is the single most beautiful book binding I’ve ever seen. A pleasure to watch unfold from the first moments until the end. Incredible work.
So excited for a high quality expo for marbled paper.
So beautiful
Writing the litany against fear freehand on leather... Truly an amazing tribute.
I randomly came across part 1, and here i am at part 4 having just watched them all at once, absolutely incredible work and I cannot wait to see more of your amazing craftsmanship
Incredible
Wow!!
wow
Великолепная работа! Просто потрясающее владение инструментами и внимание к деталям, была просто отличная книга, а стало произведение искусства!
Wow epic work. Patience is a virtue
Me, watching this whole video: Absolutely incredible work. I'm in awe.
wow
Thank You
It feels like this is how the book was meant to look
It has been wonderful to watch you working on this book throughout this series. There is something magical about watching a skilled artisan at work, and even more so when they have a clear passion for what they are doing. That has been abundantly obvious from the beginning and the end result is so magnificent that it's almost difficult to find the appropriate descriptors without sounding inadequate. I am sure that any lover of Dune and/or fine books would be thrilled to have something like this in their collection. Thankyou for sharing it with the internet. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.. after you finish your re-read, of course :)
Amazing!
I know absolutely nothing about Dune, and yet I've followed this rebinding series with baited breath ❤ it's so great to see the amount of effort and care and attention to detail you put into your projects! That goes for both the books and the videos.
Ultimate Mastercraftsman Acheivement: Unlocked! Thank you for affirming that greatness doesn't come via a 30 second Tik-Tok video. You, Sir, have achieved the trifector: Nerd, Geek, Master Artisan. Well done you.
The whole journey has been amazing from the start to the wonderful finish, a truly work of art. Thank you for showing us the process of creating a masterpiece.
That's insane. The metal engraving took it to the next level. I have a lot of hobbies and im astounded by how much skill this would take to pull off. It really is impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful. Truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely gorgeous
This is the perfect middle between technical skill and artistic expression. What an honor to have your process and work shared with us, thank you for making this book ours as well, in a way.
There's not a single book that deserves that much work!
I watched all 4 videos and they are unbelievably fascinating.
This is the most gorgeous book I've seen you do so far. I can't wait to see what's next
I knew the finished result would be amazing, but it still managed to exceed all my expectations. Every detail contributes to the effect.
it was so cool watching this whole series. and it turned out absolutely amazing! the engraved metal medallion reveal was well worth the wait. also I really like your editing and camera shots too
Would be curious to know in total how many hours is took
Just jaw-dropping and stunning. I have no words, what a simply amazing tribute to one of the greatest novels.
Absolutely amazing work!
I wholeheartedly vote that whatever copy of Dune is in the Library of Congress be replaced with this work of art. Incredible work!
Amazing.
Epic!
This is like when they test a blacksmith for master level and they have to show all techniques in one work. Amazing!
Denis Villeneuve needs to see this. I am sure he would be proud.
Amazing amount of commitment and artistry. Inspiring.
The final result is amazing!! Well done, sir!
