    I've been using CapCut on my PC to edit videos, and it's incredibly useful. The interface is user-friendly, and the editing tools are powerful and intuitive. It makes the whole video editing process smooth and efficient. Highly recommend it!

    Hello (and thank you for the wonderful tutorial!), the measurements you give are super helpful, but I'm not sure what math or magic went into deciding on -3mm for the width, would you mind explaining? The reason I ask is because I would like to do smaller hinges (5mm), as my book is quite thin, and I'm not sure how to puzzle out the adjustment T^T

    I did everything exactly right and I was confused when my front and back boards were way too short width wise. I measured and remeasured and then finally I realized it wasn't me and it was the hinge tool I bought-- yours is 1cm and mine is like 4mm. Oops! How can I redo the math to account for a 4mm hinge instead? I'm not a math girly and I don't really understand where the + and - numbers come from.

    • @blacksheep7576
      @blacksheep7576 5 днів тому

      That’s a +3mm to the width to match the video dimensions I think. Where the -3 comes from is “1cm” - 3mm = 7mm So “4mm” + 3mm = 7mm

    Hello ! Thanks for this video it's super well explained ! I would like to try to do a hard cover, but I don't have a cricket machine, do you think it's possible to make a design without it? I have wanted one for ages but it's a bug budget and I always end up by spending money for more "useful" things or for others 😂 Sorry about my poor English

    if the board is only 1.8mm thick, why do you add on 3mm for the spine? thanks 🙂

      Yeah so? She said that she just wanted to make the series look coherent in the shelf, so the covers don't necessarily reflect the contents of the book.

  • @NormaDerr-nv4cn
    @NormaDerr-nv4cn 18 днів тому

    Please correct me if I’m wrong but was your board width really narrower than the text block? If I deciphered the screen shot correctly please explain why. I’ve watched your explanation in the video but it still makes me nervous. 😢 I’ve never seen that before. Thank you for your time.

    Hi. Not sure if I'll get a reply so long after the video was posted, but how would you go about binding multiple books into the one hardcover (comic trade paperbacks) From what I can see here, the book is only being held in place by the covers on each end, so if there were multiple books bound, then the middle books would float. Have I got that right?

    How do you get the vinyl to stick without the glue from the cover coming through? When I use a light pressure, it doesnt stick. I used heavier pressure for longer, and the vinyl stuck but the glue came through and ruined things. Ive literally done this 9 times and it keeps happening - either not sticking or glue splooging. I followed your tips and got the mini press, use it on level 2, and burnish between, but still no go. Help??

    Can you send silhouette designs to cricut or save them and import them to cricuts? This software seems much more user friendly then my cricut but I am still new to cricut and getting used to it 😂

    Do you commission your work? I tend to read books that only like having a "smaller" collection (say ~ 200 books) that I actually would like a great binding for them. My taste is eclectic and ranges from philosophy, to religion, to treatise on war strategy and politics (Art of War, A Book Of Five Rings, Modern Strategy), and that leads to politics, the Malleus Maleficarum, Marquis de Sade, on into The Prince, some of Kafka's works, The Divine Comedy, The Bhagavad Gita, and so may more too numerous to name). It appears you have a talent for your skill, and preserving literature to the best of my ability, is something I prefer to do instead of holding cold, tablets with no smell of the time it took to assemble and craft a high quity piece of artistry. If you work on commissions, or are available on ETSY, I would be most interested in converting something I may eventually give an heirloom they may grow to appreciate over time! I am most impressed with your dedication and your commitment to your craft! 👏👏👏👍

      If you don’t want to use the trace and cut feature, you can download your cover as an SVG file which you can directly import into the design space 😊

    problem is not all chip board is cut straight by the manufacture so you have to cut in the middle to get good sides and edges. lol

    I use Cricut, but the canva design bit was super helpful. Ty! Do you ever make your canva designs public that others can use as well? I've been on the lookout for a good HP design that I like, and the border creation you use is something I hadn't thought of myself <3.

    Not sure if you've found out by now or not, but you can bring them all into the same page by choosing merge instead of open when you want to choose the second and third pages :) To change from inches to mm, you go to Edit, then Preferences and then choose mm on the drop down for Unit of Measurement.
