Never worked with Leather much less did a bible rebind, I had a vintage 60 year old bible with the brittle cover literally crumbling apart, got my materials & tools (under $40) & did my Bible in a sheepskin cover, paste down leather liner, new ribbons & custom letters on cover. Took me a few hours for 2 days (about 6 hours total) I’m super happy with the results & it’s only possible because of you’re EXTREMELY informative & detailed video. Huge thanks Mr Frost. God bless you brother you’ve allowed me to use my Bible again 👍🏻
Did u already have some of the tools? Specifically how did you do the letters? Did u already have that press?
I’m sure that has to cost more than $40
@@MansterBear I cut corners for the letters I used my Cricut cutter & foil iron on (which I already had) the sheepskin leather was literally $7 on Amazon, glue $2, ribbons $4 & some miscellaneous tools like Xacto knife etc. really wasn’t hard or expensive (even if I didn’t have the Cricut my Bible would’ve just been letter-less. I didn’t not stitch I did not tool I did not do a 100% true rebind but it’s pretty close for the time energy cost & effort I put in. Which like I originally said was MINIMAL
@@Danny_Servant_of_God that’s awesome. My wife has an old KJV passed down thru her family that’s starting to fall apart.
I’d love to surprise her with something like this but I thought “man I don’t have all that stuff and I can’t go spend $300 on tools” lol
@@MansterBear cool simply put I did a “poor man’s” version as I too did not want to spend $ on tools I’d only use a few times.
I have a Bible that was given to me as a birthday gift 46 years ago. It definitely needs rebinding, and I thought that I might like to give it a try. But after watching this video I think I'll just put that Bible away in a safe place, 'cause this is much more difficult than I want to deal with. You do good work! Keep it up!
Thank you! Sometimes its better to keep well loved bibles as is, as a great memory of your walk with God in His Word :)
I was thinking about giving it a go, but I think I will just send my bible off to a professional.😅
This is amazing and beautiful!!
Thank you so much!!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing how to do this.
You bet!
More decades ago than I care to remember, I earned my bookbinding merit badge in the Boy Scouts. The task turned the paperback Boy Scout handbook into a linen hardback. We were taught by a man who bound the books in the basement of the main New Orleans library. I have my finished handbook unto this day (50+ years). As much as I love that old book, it looks nothing like the craftsmanship we see here.
A couple of years ago, I found Frost Leather on the net. At that time, I had an off the shelf Zondervan Thompson Chain Reference NASB whose exterior was nothing to write home about. It was far from being a beautiful thing. Frost changed all that! After watching this video and seeing all the steps involved, I’m convinced that I got the best end of the bargain. If any of you out there are like me and do not have the equipment or talent required for this level of work, I can recommend this young man without reservation. I now have a family heirloom to leave to my children.
Jeremiah thanks to your generous and clear demonstration I made my first good looking cover (after many DIY attempts) what a feeling! ...thank you
Whoever is getting that bible is one happy puppy. I absolutely love the black cover with red liner. It pops so good. I have a schuyler esv with the same color scheme and I love it. I love the allan look with the bigger yapp.
Great video!! Awesome to watch how this is done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for providing these videos. We don’t have anyone in our area who does book/bible rebindings, so I’m very tempted to start learning how to do it myself.
These really help to show what I can expect to run into; and obviously will need a lot of practice :)
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I really appreciate your work and these videos. Thanks
Absolutely amazing. Going to be watching this over and over!!
That is awesome!
Great video!
That was a joy to watch. 😊
Man this is beauty!! Amazing craft!
Thank you!
@@frostLeatherany recommendations for getting my initials embossed on a full-yapp bible? Sending it off to a rebinder will take a long time, and Mardel did not sound confident when I asked them about doing it, although they’ve done a couple regular-yapp Bibles I’ve brought to them.
Any advice is appreciated!!
Hermoso trabajo
Thank you very much for teaching how to make a masterpiece.
You're very welcome!
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing your process!
My pleasure!
Been waiting for this from you! Just finished my first rebind the other day with help from a book and your other videos. Pretty excited to have this remastered version. Thank you for doing this. You flew through some of it haha but that’s awesome. I can tell you have this down to an art!
Awesome! Thank you!
Ty for doing this video
Your welcome!
This is absolutely stunning! You’re an absolute master of your craft! I really enjoyed this. I’m saving up now to purchase one 😂
Thank you so much!
Awesome, Jeremiah! You are a master of this craft. Blessings to you and your sweet family.
Thank you so much!
You have me interested in Bible rebinds now. I am a pastor among a denomination and I’m unaware of anyone who does this kind of work.
I have 2 Thomson Chain Reference Bibles that I replaced with a beautiful, raised spline, goat-skinned Bible. I’m considering rebinding the two Thompson Chains to gain experience. This type of work can be offered in our fellowship of believers and beyond.
That is awesome! Hope to see your work one day as you bless Gods people :)
Hey, you're the Bob Ross of bible makers. 🙂It was fun to watch you. One of these days I'm going to make myself a bible after watching your video. Thank you very much
That is hilarious lol thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the great video. You do wonderful work
You beautiful thing you! Well done, great work. Do you have a video where you show how to do raised hubs?
Thank you! Don't think we do here on our UA-cam, but we have shown how to do raised hubs on our Patreon!

Thanks for the info and demonstration, I'm about to bind a Dickson Study Bible I've been using for years and I'm unsure what type of thread to use on my sewing machine. I've used my machine on leather in the past and I know it will stitch well but I'm considering using a 100% polyester quilting thread since that is what I have on hand but since I want to do this right what should I be using? Thanks again.
New subscriber here! I'm very interested in rebinding Bibles. Never done one. I have a collection of Bibles, and want to do this to my collection, and even gift to pastors a rebinding for their Bibles in the future. Thank you of being a resource.
That is awesome! Your welcome my friend.
Happy! Happy! Happy! 😂 I’m going to use that for my work! Love your work- u make it look EASY!
Beautiful work!
I just decided, pretty randomly, to look up rebinding bibles and watching you work makes me want to give it a shot, haha.
But for now it's probably better to leave it to the Pros like yourself
You must be a drummer. Watching you flip the pen brought back memories of my drummer. Great job on the rebind! Why anyone would rebind a cambridge goatskin is beyond my comprehension, but I am impressed by your work. I will be contacting you soon. Do you have Bibles that you sell? I do not need to scive my corners. I use a very thin cut of cowhide on my rebinds. Thanks for the tips brother.
Thats funny. Im actually not a drummer, but can spin a pen around like a drummer. Thank you for your kind words! I don't currently have any editions for sell, Just trying to keep up with orders with little time for other projects. Using thin leathers is a way to avoid having to skive, but greatly limits you on what leathers and styles you are able to do.
This is so beautiful! I‘ve always wondered how a bible is bound . So awesome and absolutely brilliant job you did. Thank you for sharing! God bless! Love from Germany to you and your loved ones. 🇩🇪
Very cool!
Amazing video! What font type and size are using on the Kingsley? Thank you!
Also have this same question!
This video is legit! Honest and easy to follow, I must say, I am not much of a "measuring" guy so I was lost when talking about that part. I am a tech guy so, yea, anyway...This video is solid!
Beautiful work
Thank you for your videos! I live in Switzerland and am going to start binding my own bibles and they are a great help. Do you have any tips on picking out leather? Thickness for the cover and liner? Liner pre-skived, or should the liner and the cover be the same thickness? Do you only use goatskin, or are there other materials you work with? I'm having the hardest time finding the right leather. Maybe this would be a good future video!
Thank you! I would stick with around 1oz or so.
Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
Can I ask a rough estimate of this? Do you still do this?
Just recently purchased one of your rebinds and love it. I also just did my first rebind and long story short it’s terrible lol. Did a lot of stuff wrong but learned things too. I’ll prolly be watching this video a lot
That is awesome! Hope your enjoying a bible from us and growing in your own skills :)
Brother this is an awesome video. Beautiful gift. Would you recommend rebinding a Thompson Chain thicker bible with thick cow skin or sokoto goat
I’d use the sokoto over a thick Cowhide, I don’t like using thick leathers for any bible rebinds.
Absolutely fantastic video. I own many leather bibles, and your craftsmanship is a true testament to what it takes to make a beautiful bible. Congratulations on your knowledge and skill. ❤
This is a Beautiful Bible... Gives a whole new perspective on the skill set it takes to do a rebind. Great work brother!!!
I appreciate that!
that is absolutely beautiful work. Do you sell your work? Can you custom gilded text ? how much work would it be to input the Nicene Creed inside etc? Keep up the amazing work. You have talent.
I do sell my work! We don't offer gilding services though, that is a different trade entirely.
Placing adding pages to a bible is difficult, as you need the pages printed in Signatures, which only an expensive printing can make this possible.
Literally the perfect UA-cam video for me. Been thinking of making bibles I couldn’t find a channel solely for this but now your in my recommended
Awesome! Id encourage you to join our KEEP PREACHING Patreon if you want to take your skills to the next level :) Patreon.com/KeepPreaching
First rebind video I’ve ever watched very interesting and you did an amazing job well done 👍 new subscriber as well !
Awesome, thank you!
Can you do a video on raised hubs?
Nice job. Very nice. :-)
Book weight=book end
Thank you 😅
Aw…I was gonna say that haha. Glad I read through the comments first.
turn your leather when the needle is down to hold your place
Yessir :)
Absolutely beautiful job ,I would never Guess that it Had been rebound. Awesome. Not a better book that you can work on either.
Hello brother, it could be interesting if you had a Patreon channel where you would explain in shorter and more detailed sections. I would love to support you on that platform.
This is a great idea, thank you.
Gorgeous simply outstanding and so beautiful with a lot of care and attention to details.
I thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us.
I can not afford to have a Bible rebound and have several that are in need of it so again thank you.
Take care and God Bless...
What would it cost to get a concord done like this without the gilt lines?
Contact us through our website or instagram, and we can begin taking about rebinding that concord for you!
Wow 🤩…. You do amazing work. Sad to learn that you no longer take custom orders. I’m in Australia and so far haven’t found anyone here who offers this service. Thanks for sharing your process!
you are amazing, very generous sharing your excellent talent and work of art! I salute you brother!
Brother. Your skill is God gifted. Awesome rebinding. I can't imagine the Joy and happiness that the Bible owner has seeing this. Great work!
Amazing job. I wish I had more talent. Just curious what was wrong with original cover? Very informative video, best I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing God Bless
Nothing was wrong with it, they just wanted a new look!
What thickness River-grain do you use and what's the thickness of the lining? Great work btw very impressive... think Imma try my first rebind pretty soon
Totally enjoyed watching you rebind this bible... Boy did I do my totally wrong...lol Now don't laugh just call me Pastor Hot Glue...lol lol lol I was trying not to loose it totally and after watching you I just went oh thats is how it is supposed to be done...
This is so cool. I’ve done a very small amount of leather work. Coolest thing I’ve made is a cover for my camping hatchet.
But my wife and I have about 18 bibles in the house…
One of them is a super old KJV. I swear the paper in it is thicker/better than résumé paper. It was passed down from her grandfather to her, and has some pages sewn in for officiating weddings. But no one in her family knows where the Bible came from before her grandfather or why those pages are in there.
This is making me want to practice on a few of the extras, then surprise her by rebinding that one when I feel I’m good enough and know I won’t ruin it.
The cover is also old cheap imitation leather and starting to fall apart.
Thank you for sharing this awesome info. I know you’ve put so much time and sweat into what you’ve learned. It’s great that you bless others by freely sharing it. God bless brother!
I need to learn from where can i get the tools?
Do you ever rebind a bible with a HARD cover? I'd love to see that if you ever do. This is something I want to do - not a business, but almost as a ministry.
Certainly! Rebind it in the same way.
Really was amazed how much work goes into a rebind. Interesting watching it done. Nice work
You did an amazing job. I was mesmerized throughout the whole video. Can a bible be reminded if the binding is glued (not sewn)?
Thank you for showing me how it done!
101 on the heart rate though. Seems high. I'm no doctor though.
Thats funny lol the mic was just so close, Ill remember next time that I don't need the mic to catch my high heart rate from coffee and energy drinks lol
@@frostLeather I saw it on your watch. Idk I'm weird. Love your work! Keep it up!
You complain about the material being inconsistent, but you freehand your lines in a lot of places where I would have used a square.
Stunning to watch something so beautiful come to life! I would definitely come to you when my Bible need rebinding!!
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!
😍
*What's sad is none of you realize you're working on what has been magically changed by the AC into his UNholy word because you didn't hide God's word in your hearts like He commanded. It's not too late to learn though. First read Amos **8:11** then type in (proof of bible change residue junkie) AND HANG ON TO YOUR SEAT!!!*
*Otherwise you will hear Jesus explain this standing at the Gate crying before He sends you all on your way.*
*What The Father has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!*
*I'm 70, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read other ones or I might not have noticed the changes as soon.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016 I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the "Daniel 7:25 effect". That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws, history and scripture) We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
*God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “write His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
*God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in (proof of bible change residue junkie)* 👈
ua-cam.com/play/PLOTw4zBND_NPf66nKUONLoe2MNFLb5LQr.html
*I've continued stay in God's word by reading what has been documented to be what used to be written and what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too and we won't be able to find God's word anymore, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.*
*_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*
*P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to save people from hearing Jesus explain it to them at the Gate. If you ask for them at the address on my about page I will send you links for 15 films that absolutely prove the snake bite is the mark. And yt hates me and won't post my replies so write me at my private address for lots more info yt would never allow you to see.* ❤✝️💪

Awesome Video, You are a very talented re binder. I was mesmerized. Keep pumping out the Vids.
More to come!
Wow.... what a skill!
Thank you!
fantastic work.. beautiful result.
Why do I see the exact same pattern of grain on so many Bibles that are supposed to be genuine leather?
Very good job! Always wondered how the gilt lines were done
what kind of white glue do you use? many years ago I made a simple cover for my thompson and used contact glue, the same used in shoes, now a days has more options. I wanna make it again.
PVA glue my friend :)

I have been a leather worker for 15 years. I am not a believer and would have little business with those who need bibles being rebound. I admire every bit of this skill and your passion. I think providing this service for your clients is worth so very much. You have forgotten more about leather binding then I will learn. Thank you for this video.
Two comments, if I may. You talked about your interior step being perfect. Forgive yourself for being slightly off if you can. The discipline seems to be the goal. Within your own metaphysical system - you cannot be perfect - you can only strive. That seems the appropriate goal.
Secondly, the result was SO worth your work. That is heirloom quality and such a good watch.
Nice job brother how much do you charge to rebind a bible
depends on what we are doing for you! contact us through our Contact Form on out website at Frostleather.com, and we can discuss your bible.
I have several Bibles which need rebinding. I could not follow the steps and no explanations of how He makes his measurements. I became completely lost early in the the video. Can't consider joining His patron page for having the same issues and not learning. I really want to rebind my Bibles as they have much sentimental value and countless hours of preparing for a message. There is nothing like having the Lord to speak a Word and write His Inspirations of the pages. No new Bible can replace the experience.
Why are you not learning on our Patreon?
You've done an exceptional job, I hope you are soon blessed with shop of your desire. I am about to try this on a had covered Amplified Bible. How do I round the corners of my pages?
Cut them by hand, then sand them down :)
I am wanting to rebind my bible. But the issue I'm having is the cover that came with the Bible completely fell off. So I don't have any of that extra binding from the factory. Is there a way I can reinforce The binding before I put on the new leather cover?
Join my Patreon to learn more about Bible Rebinding and Repairs! Would love to have you :)

Thanks!
Wow thank you!
Your videos have been such a help as I've been getting into rebinding, and I've already got friends at my church giving me old bibles to do lol. God bless you man, praying for you and your ministry♥
Glad to be of help! blessings to you :)
@@frostLeather Just wondering, the skiving knife you use in this video looks like it only has a single bevel, and the knife you have linked on your patreon labelled as yours is the double bevel knife. Just curious if you only sharpen one side or something like that or if the camera angle just makes it look different? Thanks!
Can i request leather scraps? Im just getting started with leather working as hobby. Any advice on tools needed as a beginner be great.
Don't have any available at this time :/
What is the black Binding paper you use? I couldn't find a link to it. Is it just craft paper? If so, what pound paper etc?
Kraft Tex amzn.to/49yGJhh
The spine hub material link brings up a roll of faux suede cording. Do I need this?
If you’d like to do raised hubs, yes.
How thin does leather have to be to fold over to the liner? I’m struggling to get it to stick but I’ve probably skived for hours
Many variables play at the fold over, but I always skive down to paper thin.
Is your Kingsley a m-60?
Wow, thank you so much, brother! Beautiful job! I have been doing leatherwork now for a few years, but I really want to learn all about book binding. Thank you for going to all that trouble to teach us so much!😊
Very nice
Absolutely beautiful work by a master craftsman.
Thank you very much!
Thank you Sir, that was a great job, I have both the Cambridge Wide margin and the standard Concord, great Bibles but agan that rebind really great job.
Thanks again for this video. Question, is the glue in the jar that you use with the paint brush the same glue you linked from Amazon?
What is the charge for this work? Should I want one done for myself?
entirely depends on the details, $200-$600.
What are you thoughts on an Oxford Hollow? Pros and cons? If you use ever, what material?
Your heart rate was 111 bpm. Seems you were a bit nervous😀
I really was nervous throughout this video lol it was my first time making a video like this! amazing to see how many views it still gets and how many have been helped by it.
Very well done thanks for sharing this with us
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! I've always had problems trying to skive with a knife. I splurged and bought a Sharffix branded after hearing some people had issues with the clone versions.
How did you remove the original cover? You mentioned it was somewhat difficult.
I'm saving this so I can come back and watch it again. Would love to learn how to get started doing this for a beginner.
