I want to encourage you all to give a little back to Mr. Frost for his generosity in showing us his hard won results in craftsmanship. There are not many who are willing to share so freely. Thank you Jeremiah.
Thanks so much for your work in these videos brother. Your style made it so simple to get started and do an acceptable job on my first repair/rebind. I can’t wait to do more and get these bibles preaching again!
Man you are awesome. I was impressed when I first found your videos, but now that I've tried a couple myself, I'm even more impressed. I think this is the third comment I've left on various videos of yours today, but I just have a new appreciation greater than I already had since I've tried it myself and realize how easy it is to get something wrong. Both of mine so far haven't been long enough once I did the fold over. Meaning the yap on my my long edge is always too close to my block once I put it in then I planned on. So I get about what I was going for on the yap for the top and bottom, but the long edge yap is much smaller than the other yaps. I can't imagine how bad my first attempts would be if we didn't have your videos. I'm hoping by attempt 10 I have something that I go "yea... I would be comfortable letting someone else see this" haha
Thank you Jeremiah, because of your content I have begun to rebind bibles myself! I love the craft man and binding God’s Word in premium materials that will last. Thank you for all you do and have done! God bless your ministry!
Great to see your videos. I’m still absolutely loving my Bible. Having your work in my hand just really made me appreciate what a true craftsman you are. Thank you. (I had the New Testament that originally the Masonic symbol on the cover)
This video is perfect timing! I have several tools on order (by your recommendation) and hope to start rebinding some bibles this Christmas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Hi Jeremiah. First, thank for your videos, I am enjoying them. I have a little leather experience that I picked up with the covid shut down. Mostly wallets and such. I was shopping for a new bible and just was not happy with the lack of good leather covered bibles so I thought I'd look into doing it myself and found you. I have a couple questions. What weight leather do you use for the cover and liner? (It looks pretty thin. Another question, I would like to do a cover not with the fold over technique that you use, but one with burnished edges and hand stitch the edges...is that possible with a little thicker leather you can burnish or does it hinder the bible from laying flat? Thanks again
You have awesome videos! I need my bible rebound and am wanting to do it myself. Your videos are inspiring me to want to do this. I am eapecially interested in rebinding others Bibles so they can continue to study them, preach with them, to share the gospel with others. Great videos and i hope i am able to do this.
Thanks so much for showing the oxford hollow. So helpful. How thin in millimeters is the outer leather and the liner leather? If I don't want a fold over, but instead a raw edge type rebind with liner the same size as cover leather, should the cover leather be thicker than with the fold over style?
Thank you for so freely sharing your knowledge. You have saved many of us Bible lovers many hours of frustration with our learning curve. Question: is craft Tex the paper used for your spine? In not what and where can we find it and what is it called?
Thanks again! Your generous with your tradecraft, I'm excited to do some rebinds, they so far are noticably better each batch I attempt, so far they stay on my shelf, someday the quality could be offered for others, I don't usually have much time, I'm a union ironworker.
Thank you so much, Jeremiah!! I ordered your Oxford hollow material today through your link, and am eager to try it. But I was wondering about the Kraft Tex I've seen you use in a previous video. As thin and floppy as this camo leather is, I am curious why you didn't use the cover stiffener paper inside the cover of this Bible.
Can you tell us the diameter of that bigger round that you used for the corners on the cover? I thought "If I have a 1/4" hangover between my liner and corner, my outter radius should be 1/4" bigger than my liner radius"... but that's apparently not how it works since i'm 0 for 2 on good corners for my first 2 rebinds. When you mark you spine on your cover, do you add anything to it or do you do the exact width that you measured on the block?
Quick question for you, when you say that they pre skive the leather for you, is that a special request that you have to ask them to do each time? And how much extra does it cost you?
I use a Kingsley Machine, but there are better machines out there. I forget the names but if you look around for a Hot press machine that has at type holder, it'll work just fine, no matter the brand.
I know it's not for me but man, that camo leather looks ugly as sin. Cool video and craftmanship otherwise! I have been thinking about bookbinding for a... couple of years but have never found the time even though I have it in abundance. It's a wonderful thing that we have the luxury of modern tools - in the olden days all of this was done by hand. Books were valuable for a reason. EDIT: Wording.
@@frostLeather To each their own. I much more preferred the inside cover. I also realized that my comment was pretty rude so I want to apologize, even though you didn't seem to mind. Still, since I'm almost 40, I really should know better, since I know my parents taught me to be better than this.

Wow, how incredibly generous of you.
You're right. This is a beautiful thing.

I appreciate you sharing this information and not being selfish with the knowledge you have learned over the years. Thank you
This was helpful. Thank you Jeremiah!
Awesome video! I've been doing leather work for awhile but wanting to learn rebinding. Your videos are a huge blessing. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your guidance. It is a blessing when you guys invest in helping others.
Our pleasure!

Thank you Jeremiah. Possibly the BEST rebinding video I have seen. Fantastic! Thanks again. The Tips are great!
Wow, thanks!

Were you already a leather craftsman?

Thank you for your kind words my friend

You my guy Frost!!💪
Good! God Blesss you as you take His Word to the pople of Ca

Hopefully you can tell us one of these days which liner you use 😉
Thanks for all your knowledge sharing Jeremiah. True craftsmanship and you are giving it away for free. Appreciate!
My pleasure!

You can do it!

This would be nice to know. I’m. It sure that he’s adding any new replies. Hopefully he does.
Great job sir!
Thank you! Cheers!

Question: is craft Tex the paper used for your spine? In not what and where can we find it and what is it called?

Good stuff
Nice commentary inlay layout...
Thanks!
Another great video, thank you! Can you let us know what the type that you use is called, and what size(s) you use for the spine?
Are you gluing the spine to the Oxford hollow?
Ask Rocky how it is to live in Newsome California!
Thank you so much, Jeremiah!! I ordered your Oxford hollow material today through your link, and am eager to try it. But I was wondering about the Kraft Tex I've seen you use in a previous video. As thin and floppy as this camo leather is, I am curious why you didn't use the cover stiffener paper inside the cover of this Bible.
I can't seem to find the material which one is it?
Hey Jeremiah. Is the Oxford hollow material used the Kraft Tex? It doesn’t look like what you have there with the paper backing.
What are you using the Kraft tex for? I may have missed that in the video.
Can you tell us the diameter of that bigger round that you used for the corners on the cover?
I thought "If I have a 1/4" hangover between my liner and corner, my outter radius should be 1/4" bigger than my liner radius"... but that's apparently not how it works since i'm 0 for 2 on good corners for my first 2 rebinds.
When you mark you spine on your cover, do you add anything to it or do you do the exact width that you measured on the block?
just keep practicing, nothing replaces trial and error.
Do you glue the block to the Oxford hollow or just to the liner tabs?
Book spine is glued to the Oxford hollow as well as the liner tabs.
Quick question for you, when you say that they pre skive the leather for you, is that a special request that you have to ask them to do each time? And how much extra does it cost you?
Yes, that is a request, I think RMLeather are the only suppliers that do that.
In your list on Amazon, there is Kraft-Tex Paper Fabric and European Book Cloth. Which one are you using for the Oxford Hollow?
The book cloth :)
Do you have a good suggestion for an embosser and letters?
I use a Kingsley Machine, but there are better machines out there. I forget the names but if you look around for a Hot press machine that has at type holder, it'll work just fine, no matter the brand.
What kind of material is the liner?
We use different materials; Lambskin, Sheepskin, Calfskin, Cowhide, Goatskin.
My biggest problem has been getting my measurements perfect. I don't know why that is so difficult for me.
Practice makes perfect, don’t give up!

The camo was a big seller for me! Alot of men in service loved it.
