      @ But doesn’t that mean that you must first glue up the spine? Doesn’t that make the process more difficult?

    • @idoAgassi
      @idoAgassi 2 дні тому

      Yes you do round back and glue the spine. The headbands are going out of the signature where the kettle stitch is, so it is not difficult to penetrate with your needle. After finishing the headband, then you cover the spine towards the next step. I hope it’s clear now…

    • @idoAgassi
      @idoAgassi 17 днів тому

      Hi thank you for your kind words, about your question, 600 g is a bit thick. I would try creasing and if not, scoring. I have a video about scoring that you can watch. If you are not content with a result, try thinner paper for the covers. Enjoy the process…

    A pronunciation note, based on what my sensei taught me in college: instead of pronouncing "koki" like "cocky", the character/syllable 'ko' has more of a long 'o' sound. It's the same 'o' sound as in the words "hole" and "coal" and "no". Otherwise, your pronunciation was good!

    Neat trick with the beginning of the sewing. I learned to start in the middle of the book block. I recently did a couple of poetry books containing haiku with that technique. I was using a japanese hole-screw-punch, which was a real hassle. Took a lot of time and strength. Not sure whether using an awl is much better. Next time I'm gonna use an electric screwdriver.
