Thank you for the comment. Opinions and mileage varies 🤷‍♀

Thank you for the comment! I bought the Zonepak new, but it was on sale when I got it. I think it was $30 off. The Zonepak is a solid machine. My biggest peeve with the Zonepak is that you have to level it (it also gets unlevel) so I was spending a lot of wasted time trying to adjust the heating plate angle to be parallel to the base. A minor gripe is that you have to wait for it to cool some before changing stamps, with a Kingsley you have a removeable type holder with an insulated handle. There are some other minor reasons, I will explain in a future video! The Kingsley is not a perfect machine, it won't magically make you a pro at stamping haha.

I will definitely do one at some point! In the mean time I use this method, the first one "Modern" not the "Traditional" Method. With the Modern method one side of your stitch will be straight and the other zig zag. The first needle I always insert on my liner side so that the front of my project has the straight stitch. The thread I use is in my Materials List Document. ua-cam.com/video/FxZsHLmZhyk/v-deo.html

@@ExFideBiblesandStationery Wow! those tiny stiches look like maching stitching. I have chisels ordered and I hope I come close to what you do. Nice work and always improving!

@@ExFideBiblesandStationery Oops! I have pricking irons ordered.

Thank you! No I hand stitch. If you use a 3mm stitching chisel the stitches end up looking very neat and not the typical "hand stitched" look. Yes! I made a google document for recommended materials. I will include it in the description.

Hey man, good question. I've been using .8mm thick cover leather for my last 10+ rebinds. My liners leather is about the same thickness but it varies between .8mm and 1mm. The liner sheepskin is much softer than the cover stuff and than this smooth cell pig.

@@ExFideBiblesandStationeryThanks - where do you get the sheepskin - didn't see any at Rocky Mountain Leather.

​@@barrysewell4160 they sometimes have it sometimes not. I get my sheep skin from Buy Leather Online Italy, the listing is titled "Aniline Nappa Lambskin Premium Leather".

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment. Yes, chrome tanned upholstery leather will work. It's not as ideal as vegetable tanned. I wish you the best in your practice. Let me know if you need any tips 👍

Thanks for the comment! I got them from Amazon, they are white 1mm thick gel pens. Recently I switched to white Sakura Gelly Roll Pens. The .8mm are the best balance of accuracy and visibility.

Hello, I add 3/16 to my long measurement and that seems to work well for liner thicknesses of .8 - 1mm. You definitely "use" that extra length. That length is needed because your liner tabs are folded under your cover and if you don't account for that your cover will not be wide enough.

@@ExFideBiblesandStationery When you say "long" you are referring to Bible Width cover edge to edge?

This Minerva Box is thinned to .9mm by Rocky Mountain Leather.

Many people use washers and these work well. I have a round leather hole punch set that I use. IT comes with nine sizes and lets me pic the one I want. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CW1Z6GXQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use a set of leather hole punches all in various sizes. You can use washers, but you'd need a variety of different sizes depending on how wide your fold over is.

Thank you! I loved how these turned out.

Thank you!

Both would last a lifetime if maintained well. Goatskin has a longer pristine appearance. The surface of goatskin is more resistant to scratching than an Oil Tan Cowhide like I use. Goatskin is also more resistant to oils from handling. Not overly so though. Cowhide is a great material to get a bible rebound in!

Thank you. Yes, its a popular leather. The way it distresses is really unique.

Yeah! I did that on both of these.

I have book cloth end sheets and textured card stock of variety of colors. I usually just choose the color based off a customers choice of ribbon. If you want a specific color you can request that when you order.

They're looking good for under 20 total rebinds I'd say. I haven't struggled too much with corners past maybe rebind #11. The trick is consistent skiving and using a small radius, one closer to factory bibles. I will be sure to feature those in my next update, they're not convenient to get in frame with my high filming angle.

@ExFideBiblesandStationery that's awesome rebinding is something I'm trying to get into it seems like corners are difficult.

​@@StanG1980 Ill do a video on it at some point. It's just a practice thing.

Thanks for reaching out. I responded with my pricing. 👍

Thank you! Welcome

Happy to help! It was difficult for me starting out. I want to make it as easy as I can for people.
