As a new book binder, I very much enjoyed this. Be well, and carry on.
I was the last class here in Australia at the Ultimo TAFE Sydney (Technical And Further Education) to complete my trade in Traditional Book Binding / Hand Stitching - This has brought back so many memories - THANK YOU ever so much for creating this wonderful Video....
I never thought I’d say this as I am a former graphic designer whose work was all in the digital realm, but I love the idea of old school presses. Handcrafting said press is even better! Beautiful!
I don't believe I'll ever make one of these, but it was a pleasure watching the craftsmanship which went into it. Great job to you and your husband.
The video feels kinda hypnotic & meditative this time around. Probably the sound design. 👍😎
You are a true Scandinavian showoff with all your gadgets and fancy tools LOL That is why i loved it that you made by hand. i love that it truly looks handmade a century ago Job well done! was a nice video too watch and yes you have the right to show off your nice things, so don't take it the wrong way.
I use mine for segment turning. stack up layers of ring segments. I've also used it like an arbor press for pushing plns out of chain linkage, shafts off of pulleys. posts were mortise and tenon. cross piece into mortise hole with two inches of wood above hole for strength. With flair tenon.bottom also has flair tenon in mortise. that's where you cut tenon and use wedges to flair in hole. Lots of glue into joint. this video is great , the completed piece can be left on bookshelf. looks like fine furniture. Mine looks like it's been used for decades. about 8 years only. I only say this about mine it's so you don't limit a piece of machinery,to just this one .open up and spread you wings into areas that you might find fun. no limits if you fail so what make some sawdust.
Vraiment très très belle réalisation. Travail soigné réalisé avec le goût de l'esthétique et du beau. Bravo.
Linn, you know what really impressed me with all the attention to detail you put into this? You even lined up the slot direction of the screws on your name plate.
Hi, I am a "Newbie" to your video stream, but just had to comment.
You have a beautiful press, that will stand the test of time, but is going to age far more gracefully than any metal could and do the work you need of it. It was lovelyvto see good woods & traditional woodwork skills like the dovetails used. WONDERFUL Thank you 😊
Thank you so much, that's wonderful to hear!
And here I thought Matt was just the pretty face of the team. He is a very talented craftsman, with hairy arms.
Lovely work but I think I see a serious design flaw. If you press down really hard, you are going to tear the nut part off the top of your press. It should have been on the other side of the wood, with the metal bit inside the hole!
If you embed the nut from below as @evanherk suggests, you could add two inches to the height of your uprights and also gain deeper working space, giving you both a structural and a functional win.
I really like the duo-tone colors .. very nice.
Watched this video about a year ago. Searched it again and watched. I am going to base my design off yours. I need to make a press for inlays. I need one about 24 x 18 and plan on 2 screws. I will use it mostly to press the male inlay into the female while gluing. The large size is for end grain cutting boards with end grain inlays. You do beautiful work!
My son made one for me like this one! It’s Gorgeous. Good job!
remarkable, I should have done more at school.
Awesome how to Video, I want to make one for wood working and can serve as a small leather die press. Thanks for sharing Darbin Orvar.
It's a big pleasure to watch your videos, the way that you use the tools it's amazing! Congrats from Brazil.
Какая удивительная работа мастера!! Он великолепен! 😊
Hand tool work. So satisfying. Nice looking end result.
You got it right.. It *IS* EPIC!!!
A very nice and meditative video; the look, the music, camera perspective. All this make this video great. Like more of it.
You never cease to impress! A true artist!!
Matt is quite the woodworker too!
I can't wait to see the plough build. I would love to build one. The press came out well. Cheers.
This is really, really well timed. I was thinking about making a book press because my sister in law had the gold leaf page edge on one of her leatherbound books damaged during a roof leak. I told her I wanted to attempt to repair it once it dried out so I'm going to see if pressing it and then reapplying the gold leaf does the trick. Any tips for pulling out page wrinkling besides leaving it in the press?
Nice production Linn! Your videos get better and better but this one was over the top. Great close ups and you told the story very well! Oh, and I like the press too!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
You probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Coen Giovanni Instablaster :)
@Jaden Peyton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jaden Peyton it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
Thanks for sharing that, well done with fun!
It looks look something one would find in a Hobbit's home, so warm and comforting. The video style is also really relaxing to watch. Incredible work!
Hello Linn and Family, Great filming of the video. It is so cool to see all the work that went into the construction of the press, blind dove tails, metal work and finish details, to be proud of for sure. I'm sure you and your husband could make just about anything. All the best from Oregon, C.
Thank you! I could use some of that cool Oregon weather 🙂
That's beautiful!
Hello Linn, the choice of wood colours turned out really well and the match of hand tool and machine also mixst together well , nice project.
Linn
Really fun and interesting video. Loved the oak design, loved the explanations at the end and the slo-mo video throughout
Nice to hear!
Even after watching you make it I still have no idea how the square of wood comes up with the screw without turning
Beautiful press, looking forward to the other tools in this series!
Thanks Graham 🙂
very nicely done
I've been watching your videos the last two hours, and I was about to go to sleep but a saw this new one. Greetings from Mexico.
Nice job! Looks really beautiful. I'd like to add something for any reader who didn't quite get your source for the rubber pads. Tractor Supply or other farm hardware shops sell matting for livestock stalls. In this day and age most barns have concrete floors and they are hard of hooves. So... they sell rubber mats to soften the floors. The stuff is REALLY tuff and great for any project where durability and hard rubber is wanted. IF hardness and durability are not what your looking for you can buy foam rubber tiles in the big box hardware stores. They are generally in tile form and much softer than the stall surfacing matting.
Hi Linn, I just wanted to say, I have been watching and enjoying your channel for a long time and this video was a pleasure to watch too.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful job! I look forward to seeing you use it.
Great job!.Aesthetics and project.Thank you for the video and enjoy watching it.Good luck to you.
LOVE IT!!!! it looks great!!!! real old school looking
Thanks Marla!
best book press making I've seen on the internet
The first of your videos I’ve seen. Very impressive.
Looks great. Nice job on the design and the dovetails
Very cool build. Can’t wait to see some book production.
Thanks Brian!
Lovley work
Very timely! I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at book binding lately. Have been watching videos by Stopan on how he makes his beautiful books.
I've seen his stuff too... really nice.
Very talented work and a lot of patience! But those obviously were not your hands, what shall we call him? Great choice on the kinds of woods used.
The press looks awesome Linn! 😍👌🏻 Great job Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
Wow beautiful images and job!
Beatyful, nice done. Just one little remark: Your nameplate would fit more beatiful if it had half the height and width.
What a magnificent build, and I loved this video! Great camera work.
Thanks Lucas!
Just found this. Thanks for the great video. As a woodworker and a bookbinder this is just what I needed to see. I'll be making mine soon. One question I have is do you think this design will work for a large press A2 size? I need something that will have a platter size of about 24 inches wide. My thought is to make four posts instead of two. Yes it will be heavy that is for sure. thanks.
How much pressure do you think you’re applying ? I love this. Great job.
Really beautiful work, Linn! 😃
It really looks fantastic! I guess I want to make one as well! 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks MC!
pretty nice i like it
Nice job👍✌️😊🙏🏼⚒⚒⚒
Really nice looking press.
Can you include a list of the hardware and where to get it.
Awesomeness
This is real craftmanship... I love this. Did you post the parts list?
Great editing on this video!
do you have a cut list for this? like how thick was the wood and what type, hardware? i so want a press like that. dont have a lathe though but that is fine.
Building plan of this book press is available here: www.darbinorvar.com/misc/bookbinding-press-building-plan
Very nice work! Great video!
Nice looking press, love the dovetails! Question, the small screw hanging down under the top of the press, Is it a stop? If so please cut it off and use a piece of wood instead. If it is not a stop, then please cut it off. I feel it distracts from the looks of the piece.
What is the T piece at the top called? I got everything else figured out :D
Hi :) Question - why do all such book presses use a metal screw, and the other ones, as in your video "Building an Ancient Craftsman Tool" uses wooden? Im about to make one and I wonder. Thanks!
I am looking at the price of the tool that you use and honestly it would be cheaper to save up my money and buy the thing
What a nice video edit!
Please what is the metal hardware called that has the screw down function?
*Darbin Orvar* I like your video
Beautifull project!
Excellent video. I'm going to have to make one myself. By the way, who makes the vice screw?
The vise is from Lee Valley.
where can I find the metal hardware shown?
Any body knows the lequied was used to grease the wood in 9:05 ?
Why did they not sand the pencil lines out of the tails You would get a bollocking for that.
Awesome build...
Would you make any of those items to sale ~ and would you be willing to ship to Wales 🏴 in UK 🇬🇧?
When you use a book press, do you stitch the... ( Googling ) Signatures beforehand and then glue them, or is the press like any tool and has multiple uses?
You use the press throughout the process when making books - after folding the paper, after sewing the signatures, after binding etc... Of course there are many different ways to make books! The press however, is useful for all kinds of jobs in the shop in general.
@@darbinorvar Cool, my mom would probably love one for bookbinding but also pressing and drying plants.
Where did you get the screw and the iron handle joint? Or did you have them CNCd?
so why do you need to press books?
Beautiful book press. Is the bolt sticking out of the wood not going to damage the top of the press plate?
That's going to be cut off. Didn't have time to get to it.
Can you share plans for this beautiful press? I'm a new bookbinder myself.
Useful video. Thanks.
Why would you use that material with all the stress fractures and cracks throughout? One column and the upper pressure plate have severe structural defect. I’m afraid it will not tolerate the pressure.

Here are the measurements and instructions to make this press.
• Bottom: 1 @ 17 1/2 x 13 5/8 x 1 3/4 inches
• Top: 1 @ 17 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches
• Sides: 2 @ 10 1/2 x 4 x 1 3/4 inches
• Press: 1 @ 13 1/2 x 13 1/2 x 2 inches
Can you include measurements?
Thanks for your video
Very nice build! In your experience does a book press finished with boiled linseed oil tend to transfer any oil residue on to paper over time? Or is it best to use polyurethane?
Thanks, you shouldn't have any problem with either if you use additional boards like I show at the end of the video.
@@darbinorvar Duh!! No idea how I missed that :)
Great project...
Très joli et très bien conçu bravo à bientôt r Jeannot 🛠😉
Merecidisimo like!!!
Wo kann man das kaufen?
Nice done, but you have a beautiful wooden screw box, why do you put metal screw ?
" ... mostly handtools ... "?!! except for the table saw, the thickness planer, the drill press, the reciprocating saw, the bench sharpening machine, the lathe and finally the CNC router... All hand tools ...
Do you have a source for the press screw mechanism?
Great job and so jealous, I want one!!! :-D
😂😂😂
Muito bom! Qual é o valor e o contato, site para quem interessa comprar A PRENSA??
