    If you do leave it in a library, you need to do two things; 1. write in it with a UV sensitive ink pen for permanent invisible writings and 2. create a library label for the spine of the book with a decimal card catalog entry. There are many libraries here in MA where some of the books go back more than 100 years so antique the label with tea and make it match the other books in the section. Then write in a link to this video somewhere inside!

    Detail for wet leather forming. Suggestion. Go to Dollar Store and pick up several garment vacuum bags. Wet your leather, lay it on your form, put it in the bag and, with a vacuum cleaner, pull the air out of the bag and seal it, then use a plastic rounded tool to form the leather to the object underneath. Leave it in until it dries. This will give you the detail you desire.

    @jarekmace1536 2 роки тому +5

    Looks awesome! It needs a matching bookmark. Maybe when you build a wizard's tome, you could glue a few ribbons into the spine bindings as bookmarks. Also, druids don't use metal, so the corners wouldn't fly, but it DOES keep the corners safe. oh, well.

  • @sdranch2800
    @sdranch2800 Рік тому

    This is the kind of project where a 3D printer would come in handy, you could print the the designs you made with clay out of a multitude of different materials and just glue those on. Then cover with the leather.
    Awesome projects though, love the channel!
