I didn't even know rebinding Bibles existed until I saw it on UA-cam! But I've never had a clue how it's done. It's so sad to see a naked book like that, especially a Bible. It turned out great! It makes me happy that people are still learning this old type of hand-done craftwork!
Thank you so much for going to all the trouble to do this video. This is definitely one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. You are a master!
This is the best Bible rebind that I have seen, the edges do not extend 1/2 over the pages of the Bible, what a beautiful job. Take Care and God Bless.
Beautiful! I just purchased an old, VERY well loved and worn down bible off ebay that I plan to re-bind. I have a little experience with binding but nothing compared to this craftmanship level! If mine turns out half as good as this I'll be satisfied.
Absolutely beautiful. I want to have the cheap cover on my fairly new LSB replaced, so I'm going to check out your website. Thanks for sharing the process!
@@IdratherbeinHobbiton Hi! Not exactly as I'd like to (using leather) but the result was OK. Where I live is hard to get good leather, prepared for bookbinding, as well as the necessary tools. But I will get there! ;-)
@@aribaiense I totally understand. But you did it and that's awesome! Practice (and patience and grace toward yourself while learning) is key. Ive had to re-learn that over the years with many skills lol. As long as you're happy with the result and can enjoy your "new" bible, that's great.❤
Hi there, SDG! You and I have actually met before at TMS, at lunch with our mutual friend Yadid. You recently rebound a Bible for one of my wife's friends, which is how I heard about this video. I’ve recently started rebinding Bibles and have found your video to be extremely helpful, so thank you! My method is based on Diego Caloca’s, but I found yours to be better on a couple points-such as using the bone folder to enhance the spine nubs. I do have a couple questions about your tools: 1. Where did you get your chisel? Am I right to think that yours is round hole and not diamond hole? What size is the chisel tip? 2. Where did you the mat you used with the chisel, and what’s it called? 3. Where did you get your corner cutter? Half-round cutters are easy to find, but I’ve only been able to find a few options for arc-shaped cutters. 4. What is the metal tool at the 05:31 mark called? I mean the one that you use to further enhance the spine nubs, and that you later use to mark the stitching line at 06:56. Thanks for any help you can give to an aspiring Bible rebinder!
Hi Caleb. Yes, I remember you from TMS. Go ahead and send me an email (sdgleathergoods@gmail.com) and I'll be able to get back to you with better answers to your questions and links.
That was refreshing to see. There are so many good re-binders out there but this video must but up there with the best. I am looking to have some work done but have no idea of the cost. Give me an example (cost) of the work done in the video to your bible.
I've updated the vide details with my Instagram and Facebook page. You can contact me there to discuss the cost for a rebind. (It largely depends on size of the Bible and options.)
I absolutely love that cream colored pig skin with the black stitching. I'm going to try to Re-Bind the Crossway ESV I preach from thanks to your videos. It's been falling apart and now I have hopes of rebinding it. Can you tell me how to acquire a cream colored leather like you originally used for this bible before you decided to re-bind it. Thanks so much for your tutorials. Immensely useful.
Thank you so much for making this video! Probably the most thorough walk through I've seen on youtube. My bible is in badly need of a rebinding & recover. I'm an experienced leatherworker and have all the tools you show in the video, but I have some questions on materials. What type of glue are you using for the paper/binding? I use eco-weld because I love how tacky it is. Would this work? What is the webbing or reinforcement made of? What type of paper is the inside liner? I'm familiar with leather-I have all different weights but all of the paper supplies confuse me. Thank you for any and all help!
Hi Bobby. Happy to be of help. The glue I use on the spine is PVA glue. I also use it on the corners, since it doesn't dry as quick as EcoWeld and gives more working time. The reinforcement is called "Bookbinding Mull/Super Crash." As far as paper goes, I just use some cardstock. Hope this helps in your own attempt to rebind a Bible.
Couple of questions: 1. How are you measuring the length of your thread for stitching, and is it one thread or two separate threads? 2. What sort of tool are you using for making the outline groove where you are punching holes.
What is the material you use for the hubs/cross? Is it just another piece of leather? I've seen other people use leather cord for hubs. Any chance you could give us a full material list with links?
great video! question, what was the type of light brown leather material used at 2:32 that was put between the cover and the liner? what is the point of that material?
Awesome job with your stitching! Can you please share what thread you used and where you got your leather? I am wanting to try and rebind my mother’s bible.
I need to do this to a couple of bibles. Where would I get the leather from? What if I want to add pages in the bible before I rebind it? I would need extra leather because the spine would become wider. Help!
In case anyone else is trying to figure this out… it’s 0.5 mm bonded leather. Found a guy reviewing an SDG rebind and that’s what he said was in there anyway. He had the same concern as me, he didn’t want the cover too floppy.
Can you do that to my bible? The cover completely fell off, but the spine is in good shape and the pages are almost perfect.. Do you do work for others? ???
That is actually not craft paper. It is a 0.5mm thick lather of bonded leather. I use it for two reasons. First, it's basically like a template to make sure that the leather doesn't stretch too much. Second, it adds a little bit of stiffness to the cover, which I like.
Please take a look at the video description where I have information about my Instagram and Facebook pages. You can contact me there and we can discuss about a quote for your Bible.
Thanks for showing us how to repair our bibles. May God richly bless you and your family. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES Mark 16:15 Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples the night before He went to the cross. Mark 14:22-25. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood), the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118. THE GOOD NEWS "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Jesus Christ loves us! We believe this! John 3:16-17. We believe Him and who He is! He is our Savior! GOD THE SON! ONLY HE SAVES. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US AND LIVES AGAIN! 1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay for all our sins. 1 John 2:1-2. He died on our behalf! We believe in Him and who He is, trusting the shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins, and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day for our eternal life! John 20:24-31. HE LIVES EVERMORE! We can live forever through Him. God forgives our sins through Him otherwise our sins will prevent us from living in Glory with Him and our family in the faith the Bible describes. We study to show ourselves approved in wisdom and further truths about Him! We are in a family! God's family. CHRIST'S BRIDE! We got to know Jesus Christ better and better! Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more than, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." HE LIVES! JESUS LIVES!

What this made me think of is salvation. Thru God’s grace we become new. The old man is shed and the new man is born, God is so good, amen.
This is one of the best, most well presented videos I've seen on any subject. Finished product is excellent!

Thank you so much for going to all the trouble to do this video. This is definitely one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. You are a master!
Man that is grade A quality right there I don’t see how it could get any better sturdy and beautiful
I’ve seen a lot of rebinding and yours is the most precise I’ve seen so far. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful job!
Best video I’ve seen of a Bible rebind. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
This is the best Bible rebind that I have seen, the edges do not extend 1/2 over the pages of the Bible, what a beautiful job. Take Care and God Bless.
That is unreal!! You did an INCREDIBLE job!
Beautiful!

You did beautiful work on your bible; such care and skill combined is inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous corners!
Absolutely beautiful. I want to have the cheap cover on my fairly new LSB replaced, so I'm going to check out your website. Thanks for sharing the process!
Amazing tecniques! I had a good class on it! Thanks a million for sharing!
What amazing rebinding process!
Thank u for showing the corners being rolled over the inside. I wasnt sure on how that would work
Wow that’s gorgeous! You did an amazing job!
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing. I am a beginner in bookbinding art and researching to rebind my father's bible. Your video helped a lot.
Hey there! Did you rebind your dad's bible like you were wanting to do? How did it turn out?

Like the rolling pin idea!

Incredible. Do you think you’ll ever post a start to finish tutorial video? Been thinking about possibly getting into this. Would love to learn more.
Excellent work!
Bello..! Precioso trabajo... Wow!!
Ojalá publiques más videos así... 🙂🙏
Dios le bendiga..
That's pretty impressive.
Um verdadeiro espetáculo 👏👏👏
praise the Lord and God bless you
Fine Craftsmanship for a Fine Book.
Wow excelente trabajo ❤
This is amazing! I live in Southern Ontario. (St. Jacobs) Where can I get my Bible recovered?

2. What sort of tool are you using for making the outline groove where you are punching holes.
Simply beautiful
Beautiful
Precioso!!Gran trabajo!! Me gustaría que diera las medidas de los cortes de los materiales usados en cada etapa.
Very nice job 👍👍🇺🇸
Informone need more of this. Where did you learn this?
Awesome I need a Bible fixed
What is the material you use for the hubs/cross?
Is it just another piece of leather? I've seen other people use leather cord for hubs.
Any chance you could give us a full material list with links?
Glory to God alone indeed!
Good fantastic craft manship
Allan publishing; hire this man! 🤣👍
What type of leather is used for the inside leather liner? Can I use goatskin?
Thank you so much, could you make more for us? 😳
Brilliant, thank you. I worry about all the squished out glue, but you just wipe it off. Does it mark the leather or leave a film in the grain?
great video! question, what was the type of light brown leather material used at 2:32 that was put between the cover and the liner? what is the point of that material?
Thanks for the great video
Awesome job with your stitching! Can you please share what thread you used and where you got your leather? I am wanting to try and rebind my mother’s bible.
I use mainly 0.6mm or smaller for thread. I get my leather from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply, and have them split the leather.
thats amazing!
Very Good, GREAT Even. THANKS
Is the brown piece leather as well? Where do you purchase your leather, how thick is it?
I wondered what you use for the final sheet that covers the hinge flap. Sort of half an end paper. Thank you
I’ve just noticed, you stuck the hollow to the cover not the text block. Not seen it done that way before.
If you don’t mind saying. What is that brown paper / board you use when you glue the leather on it
Can you share a link to the stitching punch that you use?
I need to do this to a couple of bibles. Where would I get the leather from? What if I want to add pages in the bible before I rebind it? I would need extra leather because the spine would become wider. Help!
Send it to these people don't do yourself they are professional
God be with you
What is a good supply listing?
Is that just craft paper that goes on the back of the liner?
In case anyone else is trying to figure this out… it’s 0.5 mm bonded leather.
Found a guy reviewing an SDG rebind and that’s what he said was in there anyway. He had the same concern as me, he didn’t want the cover too floppy.
Amazing. How much is gonna cost the job?
Depends on the size of the Bible and any additional options chosen. You can send me an email (sdgleathergoods@gmail.com) and we can discuss details.
Can you do that to my bible? The cover completely fell off, but the spine is in good shape and the pages are almost perfect.. Do you do work for others?
???
What material is the inside cover liner made of? Is this like craft paper?
LOL it looks so easy!🤣
what was that tool that you used to cut the corner?
Does the liner itself have to be leather to make a strong hinge, or is bonded leather or leathercloth ok? Thank you.
What material was used to make the cross and spine nubs?
what did you use for the inside liner?
Question @SDGLeatherGoods, why did you put craft paper between the liner and cover?
That is actually not craft paper. It is a 0.5mm thick lather of bonded leather. I use it for two reasons. First, it's basically like a template to make sure that the leather doesn't stretch too much. Second, it adds a little bit of stiffness to the cover, which I like.
at 2:05, what kind of material are you applying there? is it tape?
Yes, that is some bookbinding tape. But I don't use that anymore, since the PVA glue is enough.
What is the middle layer made of?
What is the thread size you're using for stitching?
Bravissimo!
im curious what weight leathers to use?
I’m looking for someone to rebind my wife’s Bible as well as mine. Can you do that ?
What paper did you used for end sheet?
Hi there, what weight leather did you use and did you have to pare or skive it down? Great work!
I ask the supplier to split the leather down to 1-1.25oz (0.4-0.6mm). This way I don't need to worry about skiving it myself.
Great video, it was really clear and helpful to understand the process! May I ask, what kind of leather would you recommend?
I recommend goatskin, about 0.5mm in thickness.
SDG Leather Goods thanks!
Where did you get your back endsheet pages? It looks like they have some sort of texture to it?
Look for coated paper, leatherette effect etc
Do you do rebinds for customers?
Yes, I do. Feel free to send me an email (sdgleathergoods@gmail.com)
I thought the pigskin cover was hardly broken in with only 3+ years.
Wow!
Please help me! I need my bible repaired how much would you charge.
Please take a look at the video description where I have information about my Instagram and Facebook pages. You can contact me there and we can discuss about a quote for your Bible.
*thank you*
Is it rexine leather?
This is called "Sully" goatskin.
You left out the part I really wanted to see. I watched to see you make the cross 😢
Do you have a website or an email I can contact you with I have a Bible I want you to do it
sdg.rebinds@gmail.com
I need Bible cover pls give me God🙏
Thanks for showing us how to repair our bibles. May God richly bless you and your family.

You really got him there Andy...
Where did you get all the materials to rebind this bible?
