Bookbinding Cloth Corners // Adventures in Bookbinding

- In this video three different ways of treating the corner turn-ins of cloth bindings are demonstrated. The first method is the standard method used on the majority of books. The second, known as a library or universal corner, is used where durability is required. The third is the tab or tongued corner for covering thick boards such as used in stationary binding.

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow. The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books. The best way to find what you are looking for is the DAS Bookbinding UA-cam Channel guide.

Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. I appreciate how exact and clean you work. I can't seem to finish a session without sticky fingers 😂😂. Hope you are doing well. I noticed that it's been a while since you posted new videos. I am enjoying watching the back catalogue. Such a treasure trove. Thank you so much, again.
Developing the "eye" to cut corners is a great skill and saves so much time. The rule of 1.5 x board thickness works well. If unsure bend the uncut cloth up at the corner to reassure yourself that the cloth once cut will go over the board. Keep well, stay safe
I always over-cut and test my mitres by folding the cloth over dry first. If using commercial paper-backed bookcloth this will leave folds in the backing that help decide where to cut.If you're working with loose-weave fabrics then be extra generous because of the risk of fraying and the potential need to pull threads away for a tidy finish.
A really useful video [the tab is new to me] and really good for referring newbies to. I am looking forward to the leather corner tuition video. Thank you for uploading.
Yep, tab corners are great for big thick springbacks.
I like the tab method and will give it a go. I must say this is compulsive viewing. So helpful.
Many thanks for your video, I really found it very helpful. This is the best video on this topic on UA-cam 🙏
You are a real expert! so inpiring!
Thank you much for making this vid! It’s exactly what I needed!
I love your channel! Thank you! It's very educational
Love the video and also the Rooster 😀💕👍
very informative, thank you
I use a variant of the tab method: the tab is simply the cut triangular part that usually would be folded in: it decreases the bulkyness of the confection, it holds the material put and reduces the chances of fraying and it works on most materials.
Thanks! I've been using the little triangle tab for vellum. As you say less bulk to show through. All the best, Darryn
thank you for all your great videos!
My pleasure! DAS
Thank you!
You're welcome!
te amooooo, gracias
Первый и третий варианты более аккуратные. Второй имеет пухлые углы. Но во втором варианте углы более защищены от воздействия внешних факторов. Для записной книжки спутника больше всего подходит именно второй вариант. Для укрепления углы можно нагреть феном, после чего зажать между двумя не агдезирующими поверхностями. Это уберет припухлость углов. Снимите напряжением полимера и скачет его там где он соприкасается сам с собой. Перед использованием метода лучше попрактиковаться на пробирке.
I have been in a world pain lately with fabric turn-ins. Having splashed out on some rather exotic materials I've discovered that the weave is just as important to consider as the thickness. Nice tightly woven rayons behave immaculately. Natural fibres like silk and cotton canvas just want to fall apart when making those delicate mitering cuts for casing. Hope you don't mind me imparting my own advice here, but always test how the cloth behaves when cut before committing to its use. Allow a larger mitre allowance to mitigate for any fraying and- if you have the luxury of preparation time - seal the edges of fabric with PVA or paste first. The last thing anyone wants is their high-precision turn-ins unravelling!
I've never had this problem with commercial bookcloth. I don't use silk as much as I should, since it is very nice. But I always back it with paper and coat it with something like methyl cellulose, which stops the fraying. But I could imagine it happen with other materials.
@@DASBookbinding I highly recommend silk if you can get your hands on any. It's quite challenging to keep under control during application - I tend to pin it with drawing pins to a sheet of pine to create some tension. I have some methyl but haven't used it in anger yet :)
@@DASBookbinding After a few experiments with scrap materials I found that pre-glueing the turn-in mitres with PVA (as per sealing the end of bookmark ribbon) really helps with open weave bookcloth. Also a chisel-shaped bone folder is far less likely to dig into the weave and cause it to fray. Happy days!
seems like you could eliminate the bulk altogether on the tab method by cutting an additional strip of "tab" to fill in along that entire edge.
Did you glue the cloth to the whole front of the board or just the edges?
Thank you for your videos, they're the best!
The entire board. I only drum on in a few special cases. DAS
*4:16** Rooster!* 🐔
I miss that old rooster. He got sick earlier this year and died. On some very early videos I used to have a short clip of what was going on outside and I think he made a short appearance. The new rooster doesn't measure up to that old fella. But it is nice having one around. DAS
@@DASBookbinding RIP to the old rooster
Where do you purchase your binder covers? The 2mm
And if I needed custom size, do you know a good supplier?
Thanks! Love your videos by the way. I've been watching all your bookmaking videos!
I buy large sheets which I cut down to standard sizes with a big board shear. Before I had the board shear I just used my trusty Olfa knife. The large sheets aren't very expensive and you get lots of book covers from a few sheets. In US I would get it from Talas and in the UK Hewits. All the best, DAS

@@DASBookbinding thank you!!! Happy Saturday
Howdy, may I ask what kind of brush is it that you are using to spread the glue? I've never seen the tongue tab before. It does make for a nice corner on thick boards.
That corner is the standard for vellum too, or a slight variation. I'm not sure the brush is made any more. I bought it from Hewits originally, but it's a german made brush.

Ciao, DAS
@@DASBookbinding Thank you for your quick response, and general responses. They do still have it. Now I know what to look for. Thank you! Be safe.
What card stock was used?? What glue was used. And what paper/material was used to cover the inside of the book between the card stock and the pages?
I don't think I used cardstock in this video. The adhesive was PVA. Yours, Darryn
I presume the library corner can also be used in paper covers?
I plan to use elephant hide type paper which I may print on a marbled paper pattern.
Absolutely! That reminds me a project I've got to put on the list. All the best, DAS
DAS Bookbinding
Awesome! I look forward to see that project! As always: thanks Darryn!
How do you feel about using metal (pre-made) corner protectors?
I'm not a fan. They damage books around them. But just because I don't use something no reason you can't.
I usually use chromed corners which are fairly smooth, but I still understand what you mean. Thank you for your insight!:)
May I know what is the name of the cloth you are using? Thanks
That is Arbelave buckram cloth. All the best, DAS
May i please know what kind of cardboard you use? Thank you kindly
Can it be use for rounded corner?
Rounded corners on boards, if large enough, are probably best pleated. But if they aren't too large the universal (aka library) corner can work.
