I hardly ever comment on UA-cam but I have to give credit where credit is due this is cool as it gets! I just started rebinding Bibles/books /hymnals for friends and family and I recently put a ad on Facebook and I had one sent to me that I’m working on re-sewing because I’ve never done that so it’s a struggle to me.. I’d like to think I’m mechanically inclined haha Fromm running equipment and welding my whole life And the army but let me tell ya this is a WHOLE other level of SKILL!!! 👍👍🤙 you got my vote haha thanks for the video I’ve searched google and YT up and down trying to find something like this and just happened to pop up on time feed this morning so 🙏 thank you! If anyone has any feedback or a link to where I can find something more in detail as far as patching signatures before sewing and really HOW TO SEPERATE THEM TO RE THREAD WHEN THEY ARE FRAGILE AND ALREADY RIPPING !!! But thanks either way to whomever and awesome video !
Great edit, nice soothing music. Beautiful work! I'm fascinated with the process. I've started dabbling with this hobby this year. First with slipcase/ clamshell designs and my last project was my first "binding" turning a paperback into a hardcover. I'm still not brave enough to take on the stitching/ actual binding part :D . It's leading me down so many fun avenues, even making my own marbled paper. I will look forward to more of your vids, keep up the good work.
I dived right into binding, the very first thing I made was a journal. I haven’t even tried box making, but would like to, postponed it because of all the measuring and the precision I will have to put into it, which are not my strong suit. Seems like you chose the harder part first (at least for me).
@@bookshelfiv2537 I followed tutorials from DAS bookbinding, usually I shun measurements and technical stuff but he made it seem doable. I'm sure you will enjoy it when you give it a go, it makes such a nice complement to a good book. I hope I work up the courage to do some binding in the near future :) Thanks for the reply, keep enjoying what you do and I hope you get more views and success. Cheers
This channel is everything I ever wanted. Where do you get your supplies from? I started playing around with minor book repair and want to delve more into binding but have no idea where to find supplies.
Hi! The book cloth I got from eBay, the gold foil from Schmedt24, the finishing tools from Kevin Noakes. The other stuff I found at local shops or bought on sites like eBay, Amazon or Etsy
how do you know how much space you need between spine and boards? отстав? Also what kind of material you are using for a spine? The one that you have folded 3 times and then glue to the spine? Excellent work!
Hi, for backed bindings I don't leave any space. The boards are placed exactly where the backing folded the page. The paper is just craft 110gsm paper, should be sold in any general art shop.
I got Propaganda by Edward Bernays, original edition 1928... BUT...it has been a library book at the University of Oslo... The cover and the last side are broken up... What shall I do not to reduce the value of the book? Shall I get it restored or sell as is? Just one ink stamp preciding the prior ownership of the book.... Grateful for answer
Hi, sorry for the late reply, please have the book examined somewhere. If the copy is of great value, I would advise you to contact a certified conservator. Usually big libraries provide such services. They are not cheap, but it will add to the value of the book.
What kind of tape did you use to repair the pages? And what kind of glue? I have a vintage book that is missing it’s cover and I couldn’t bear to use the pages for other things since everything is intact aside from the cover! I have tried Coptic stitch binding to make new books but now I was to try more book binding like this! It looks so great and I love the format of this video! Thank you!❤
Hi! The paper I used for mending is Japanese paper, though I don’t remember its thickness. The glue is either bookbinding paste (starch paste) or combination of it + PVA. I prefer pure starch, it is much more forgiving of mistakes ;)
Thank you! It is wheat paste (bookbinding paste). There are lots of recipes online. I mix 50 grams of wheat starch with 200ml water and stir on low heat. It shouldn’t boil. It will slowly get to that consistency you see in the video. Put some on the spine and leave it for 10-20 minutes. Don’t put too much and don’t leave it for long or the pages will get wet.
I used bookbinding (starch) paste on the spine to soften the glue. It doesn’t dissolve it, but allows you to pull the old lining and scrape what’s left on the spine. An alternative would be methyl cellulose which does the same to old glue. Both starch paste and methyl cellulose can be used as adhesive if left to dry.
I have missed your reply!! I am sorry! It wouldn’t have been of much help either way, I have never tried and never read about potato starch. Wheat starch is working great for me. Did you try potato starch? I am interested to hear how it worked out
@@bookshelfiv2537 Actually, I was referring to page edge gilding. I'll link a video that details the entire process if you're interested. It's easier than most bookbinders assume. ua-cam.com/video/pTZLMUGaSKI/v-deo.html Also, you should add an email address to your channel description. I made some cool Harry Potter books I'd love to send you some pictures of!
@@augustbinderybespokeatelie8092 Ah, I understand. For this type of gilding I need to trim the edge which wasn’t an option in this case. The paper was fragile and I would have not dared to cut it
The cinematography is beautiful, and the book rebind is gorgeous. But the title phrase “at home” is a little misleading as this is not a typical DIY that someone like me could pull off. I wish!
Здравейте , много хубаво видео и каква приятна изненада , целият процес по подвързване на това копие издадено на български език , погледнах и в онлайн магазинът ви , но за мое съжаление видях , че няма книги за продажба , не се отказвайте , хората които владеят това изкуство не са много , когато дам книга за подвързване в най добрият случай чакам няколко седмици да стане
Здравейте, благодаря за милите думи! На мен също ми отнема доста време за едно преподвързване. Нямам книги в магазина, да, в последно време се занимавам само за мое удоволствие.
@@bookshelfiv2537 Това е прекрасно хоби , поради трудностите които срещам с преподвързването смятам да опитам и аз :) , вече имам няколко инструмента но мисля , че не са достатъчни и ще трябват още , по между другото , пресата ви е много хубава , с какъв размер е ?

Hello there, I couldn't help but notice you across the comments. Your presence is like a beacon in this crowded space, drawing my attention with an irresistible force. It's as if UA-cam conspired for our paths to cross, and I couldn't resist reaching out. My name is Joe, but you already know that, and I must say, you have piqued my curiosity. There's something enigmatic about you, a captivating aura that sets you apart from everyone else. I find myself compelled to unravel the layers that make you who you are. I hope this message doesn't come across as too forward. It's just that when I see something that I desire, I can't help but chase after it. Perhaps it's destiny guiding me, or maybe it's just my unyielding curiosity. Either way, I wanted to seize this opportunity and let you know that you have caught my attention in the most extraordinary way. May your days be filled with wonder and intrigue.

Looks amazing, a fresh look for an old book. The quality of your videos is also amazing. Throughly enjoyed it.
Thank you!
This was such a calming video. Beautifully shot with a wonderful choice of music. Gorgeous craftsmanship.
Your work shows true love for your craft.
Made very precisely by an artisan of the trade!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
Such a beautiful creation! Excellently made! ❤❤❤
This is an artistic work, meticulous in every detail.

Amazing this heals my soul to see these old books are so loved ❤️
Nice tattoo! I'm a fan of physical media so this is very pleasing to see :)
Love the deathly hallows tattoo on your thumb! Also great work:)

Your skills are amazing. I hope you’ll rebind Harry Potter books eventually, maybe to make them look like old magic grimoires. Congratulations again!
i really enjoyed this video, youre very talented
amazing job! thanks for sharing
The music gave me a lump in the throat. It was beautiful watching your work!
Great work!
love 😍 the tut
thanks
looking for the stitch tutorial
Awesome video
Hi, I missed the part on how you did the title of the book, how was that done?
Amazing work ❤️
I just got a whole set of myths and legends of the ancient world and they're so bad im going to have to do this to all of them.😢
Thats incredible! What the gold paper stuff you use to indent onto the book???
It is gold stamping foil for leather
Does anyone know which tool is he using at the end (9:22 and 10:54) and where to get it (as affordably as possible)? Thanks a lot :).
What kind of material did you wrapped the book? Is that leather?
This is book cloth

Beautiful work. What material did you use for the cover? It looks like a thick paper, but it also looks like fabric. It's hard to tell.
It is called book cloth. You can find different types - just fabric or this one that I think is called Buckram
Hi, it looks amazing! do you have to use some heat to heat up the tools for the gold foiling??
Hi, yes, the tools are heated a bit below 100C
Very inspiring!!! What was the first solvent you used on the binding glue to get it off?
Thank you! It is wheat paste (bookbinding paste). There are lots of recipes online. I mix 50 grams of wheat starch with 200ml water and stir on low heat. It shouldn’t boil.

This is such a great video! What was that paste that you put on the exposed spine? Was it suppose to dissolve the glue?
I used bookbinding (starch) paste on the spine to soften the glue. It doesn’t dissolve it, but allows you to pull the old lining and scrape what’s left on the spine. An alternative would be methyl cellulose which does the same to old glue. Both starch paste and methyl cellulose can be used as adhesive if left to dry.

Great Work ! What method did you use to put the letters on spine?
I just printed it on paper, but it’s barely noticeable 😄
@@bookshelfiv2537 Love this video. Can you elaborate more on what exactly you mean by "printed it on paper"?
hi, could you let me know what the tool used at 9:10 is called? Thanks!
Hi, it’s a brass pallet
Very nice work! You should learn how to edge gild.
That would be awesome, but I don’t have any rollers, only one pallet that might suit this style. I will give it a try!
