"Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you."
Hosea
For anyone unfamiliar with the term "fallow ground", it refers to an ancient farming practice in which during the year(s) that the farm land was not being used, weeds were allowed to grow up in the field. These weeds brought back vital nutrients to the soil that would otherwise be lacking from farming the same crops every year.
I've been avoiding service to the Lord and to my fellow man for far too long. Most of my life has been fallow. It's been unused, and just sitting there.
Well, no more! It is my life's goal to become a better man physically, spiritually, and mentally and to help other men do the same.

This book is a bit of a monstrosity. I wish the Cthulu on the spine came out better, but oh well. At least the symbol of Azathoth on the cover was easy enough to do well. I know a lot of what was done here was quite unconventional, so hopefully it lasts. If there's any pros who could tell me of any obvious blunders, though, I'd appreciate it.
Like in my last bind, the grain direction is not correct. I'm taking DAS for his word when he says it almost doesn't matter on coptic binds, and hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. Granted, this is far from a normal coptic bind at this point.
Something I failed to mention in the video is that because of the uneven nature of the deckled edge, and because of my thread looping over the ends of the signatures, it was very easy for the sewing holes to get out of alignment. You would probably have less of an issue if you used a clean edged text block.

Making Sandals Out Of Junk

Making a beautiful step out of 2x4s for camper (with storage)

In this video I use scrap pieces of 2x4s to make a hinged step with a storage compartment underneath. One of the 2x4s used wound up having substantial rot that I didn't notice at first. Sadly, this was the 2x4 on the very front of the step. So I wound up having to reinforce the wood fibers with wood hardener. As a result, the stain doesn't look nearly as good as I'd hoped. Also, because I had t...

I’m also making table out of Cedar. What was the final thickness of your table?
Do you need to remove the fabric from the knee of the pants? wouldn't it be more durable with the jean material underneath?
Can't you just heat up that spot of resin with the difficult bubbles?
Lol great job.im loving this.
Amen it's all about great power toolsol
I love this wood working with epoxy work. Ever to old to learn.ive been watching for around five years I'm almost a single 70 year old woman who will be using things I. Have learned for making my old countertops beautiful and idy like to match my dining room table top but my table is round . Will it be any harder to do. I'm very excited about all of this I love it so much .wish I had all the wonderful power tools for all of this I'm amazed .Thank you for teaching me ! I'm never to old to learn
I saw some what were called “briar pants” at cabelas. They were like a full chap but nylon. I’m going to try that with leather. Hobby lobby sells “leather remnants” and often they come with a lot of great piece for like $10. I could probably make 2 full leather jackets with the amount of material it’s cool.
hahahaa the creativity during the cinematic part! You did great!❤
I was at a gas station with a Cthulhu fish on my bumper and a guy came up and asked if it was a Jesus fish. I said no it was a sleeping god who was going to wake up and devour us all. He said that Jesus would kill me for not believing in him. Yes, just like Cthulhu when he wakes up. This went around a few times until he stomped off.

Have made a few books myself now, and have one of those gullotines you mentioned (technically not a gullotine, i think, they're referred to as "heavy duty paper cutters" in shops) and you're right, they rock. that chomp is *so* satisfying... LOL... especially after struggling through trying to cut books with a knife myself - I feel your pain. Re: cutting. DAS Bookbinding is a professional bookbinder and has a great channel with TONS of information for those wanting to learn. If memory serves me right, he reckons that books over an inch thick shouldn't be cut the way you did, but he does offer an alternative with a chisel that might work for you or anyone else in your position. Otherwise, I can think of two other ideas: 1) don't cut at all. It's not strictly necessary to the functioning of a good book and go back a couple hundred years and you'll find that they sometimes didn't then either, esp in cheaper books :D It looks nice and it does make flipping through to find a specific page easier but other than that... *shrugs*... you don't have to if its more trouble than its worth. 2) The other idea is that you do what I did with my first ever bookbind: cut each individual signature to length *before* you bind them (i.e. just 8 pages at a time). You don't get the nice smooth edge that you get with a chomp machine but I do think it's better than not cutting them at all, and i don't think it makes much difference in process for you since you cut the fore edge before you bound the book (most binders do it after when they're working with a text block which is constructed seperately to the case and put together at the end of the process). Thanks for the heads up on the software - will check that one out!
Half scissors is not ideal. A small utility knife with breakable piece of blades to cut off every so often when it stop cutting sharp would have been better. Sanding works too, is used for edge gilding too. But hey live and learn, right?
I started this video thinking "ooooh, this is something I'm gonna do all the time!" and then i watched the video and realized that no, i do not have the patience or space for this. still a really great video! maybe some day......
Great explanation ! Could you tell us how long it took you start to finish ?
I guess that depends on if you're including wait time or not. You know, for the adhesives to dry. Idk exactly how long, and things always take way longer when you're trying to make a video out of it haha. I'd guess though (not counting drying times) it took me between 15-20 hours. Had I not been recording, it could probably have been done in less than 10.
Thank you !
Music too loud
This is the best video ever! This was super impressive and the end result looks incredible!
Two weeks ago I binded a book as an anniversary gift for my girlfriend. I couldn't find the app to separate the pages, but ended up coding a script in Python to do it. I also changed the dedicatory to a custom one. It was a fun process ☺️
That's commitment man! That's awesome!
Barnes and Noble Press would be your best friend.
Cutting the edges without a guillotine is the worst, yeah. I hear legends about being able to go to a print store and use their guillotines for a small fee, but I have yet to do that myself; I've also seen bespoke cutting jigs that clamp down on the paper and let you slide a sharp blade along the top flat surface and cut a page or two at a time. Not as neat as taking it in a single cut, but a lot nicer and easier than a box cutter and ruler! If you keep having problems with the folded edges not staying where you want them, you might be able to tack them down with a few bulldog clamps and some scrap cardboard so you can work on the long edges before the rest of the glue sets up. I recommend just getting a small block of beeswax (or even a paraffin candle) and waxing your own thread instead of using pre-waxed stuff, it won't shed nearly as much. I've also had some good results using embroidery floss for binding simple Coptic book projects, it takes wax just fine and you can mix and match colors if you're feeling fancy. I'm amazed you were able to bind such a thick book in that style, but it does look handy for a semi-disposable study book!
There is a device that other Book Binders use, it's like a box cutter but is much slimmer and you can snap off the dull portion of the blade called a paper knife cutter.
this is so epic thank you
I've been dealing with having to read books on my computer or tablet. I didn't know there was an app that would print out pages for bookbinding. Thanks,
Neither did I, some have been describing how Microsoft Word or Adobe Pro was supposed to do it but this seems a lot easier and I have a lot books in my digital library - Shakespeare, Homer, Darwin, Tolkien, Harry Potter, to name just a few as well as The Geneva Bible 1599
I’ve been looking for a video detailing exactly what you’ve explained and I’ve not been able to find anything. Thank you!
So you started out strong with explaining everything you was doing and why. but then about half way through you stopped explaining and was just showing your process, an by the time you was working the needle it was all in fast forward... but was glad to see the final product up close to see just how loose it looked.. over all, entertaining vid but i have more questions now then i started with..lol.. What sized paper are you using? Is there anything special about that cloth? Can you just use any cloth? What is this wheat paste? You just gave me more stuff i have to look up! Anyway thanks for the vid bud, Keep it up.
Standard copy paper 8.5 x 11 (acid free though) The cloth just needs to be a natural fiber. This one was probably a bit thick, but it still worked. This type of bookcloth can also be referred to as buckram. Wheat paste is just wheat flour + water heated for a few minutes. It's used for gluing things like paper, cloth, and leather. It's surprisingly strong and durable stuff.
@@fallowgroundstudios thank you 😊 funny that is just standard copy paper, it looks so much better in the video. Then when I fold a paper in person it looks so small. Thanks again.
I can't tell you how insightful this video is. I cannot tell you just how informative it was and how much I applaud your candor throughout. I have been making things out of epoxy since acquiring a 200 year old oak root and also along the way stumbled upon my love of milling wood. I decided to get that root ready for employing it's fibers, and what a bear it has been preparing this wood, but I'm close to ready and very nervous until after watching your video. I sincerely appreciate it. And what a magnificent table yours turned out to be.
Thank you for sharing, as there is so much so many will learn from this video 👍🏼
Nice music
I’m a very hard human to impress. Today, I was impressed..
Blacktail studio has a great course on how to do epoxy. If you had to do it again would you use cedar?
Wishing you good health and creating many works
Xylitol is a type of sugar from the syrup of Birch trees, it was the first natural healthy sugar that diabetics can use. My question: Can I use xylitol in this recipe instead of brown sugar? 🤷♀️
I'm not sure about xylitols ability to macerate the juices out of pinecones the way sugar does, but if you try it, I'd love to hear how it turns out!
Do you do the same if you use honey instead of brown sugar
No idea, but if you try it I'd love to hear how it turns out. I'm just not sure if the honey will macerate the juices out of the pinecones the same way sugar does though? But I'm really not sure. You should try it!
wow what a journey! i was mesmerised by the process and soothing voice over thanks for sharing :)
Greetings, I'm glad to see this process. In happy that you didn't s rap your instructional video after you first put them in a bowl. That saved me from doing it hehehe. And I would have. Peace.
It turned out great despite your "so called mistakes". My guess is that you learned an immense amount doing this project and you improved your knowledge base for going forward. Thanks for sharing and showing us all the difficulties you encountered. Very valuable info provided. 😊
Instead of the tape to stop the resin from sticking to the base table, what other option is available?. Thanks for your answer
I don’t understand this video.
Wow. This was mind blowing and not in the way you would think. I don’t understand why so many rounds of sanding and oiling and the router sand, and so many other things. I am just…. Speechless. Congrats on finishing it.
Nice work . That is something you will enjoy using now. Well done.
