the journal turned out so beautiful, I've watched hundreds of diy's over the years and this is by far the best, it's simple and actually shows every step and doesn't do a thousand cuts so things are missed, thank you for this, it'll help a lot.
Love this video because a Traveler’s Notebook was literally the reason I got into leather-crafting 4 years ago. I didn’t want to pay $100 for something that was just a rectangle of leather with holes, lol! I caught the leather bug after that, and went on to spend a small fortune on leather working stuff…and now I’m pretty sure my husband wishes I would have just spent the hundred bucks to buy a TN! 😂 I’m going to buy your acrylic set because I love the design and I want to support your work. Plus…you’re a local businesses to me (I’m from the Philly area too!). Thanks for sharing your talent Justin!
4:13 when doing middle (centre) knots do try the right over left and left over right square knot, cos such knots are more flat compared to the usual knots, and less irritable with the pages.
Loved your step by step tutorial on how to cut and make the TN style notebooks, I was thinking that it would make a great gift idea to make one for somebody.
15 different ways to make a 'insert' notebook cover. I use eyelets in my leather to protect it from the cord. Easy to do. I eliminate the center row of holes and just use a single loop for the closure. I make a leather washer to enclose the knot. Looks nice. One long piece of elastic. One knot. I use four inserts for elastic. Double what the expensive Japanese version gives. Hey, everyone is different. Yours looks great and works. Now you have to figure out a loop for a pen. Inside? Outside? Middle? Edge?
First of all, this is super cute Midori like notebooks. Second, I prefer to keep my nots in the bottom of the notebook. No in the middle and last, I usually do only one sets of holes. Once you get two notebooks in there you can easily loop a third notebook if you wanted.
Thank you so much for the video! The step-by-step instructions are well explained, and thank you so much for sharing the downloadable patterns. Your kind gesture is much appreciated🙏🙌✨
I caught the leather bug last year because I eventually want to book bind my own books; This is helpful for the books I make I will be buying your templates! and I live super close to philly! So its good to help out a sort of local artist!
PS.. I wanted to share a tip that I picked up... can't remember from where... Razoko Floss Threaders work great for pulling the elastic thru the holes. Saves a lot of time...
Graicas, por permitir que haya traducción, y están hermosos sus trabajos, de verdad muchas gracias por brindarnos la oportunidad a miles de poder realizar hermosas cosas como está, muchas gracias, gracias, gracias.
Thanks for introducing me to this particular style of book. I managed to complete one and I’m proud of my efforts😌. I do have one question, was the loop used to wrap around the book supposed to be anchored in some way? I noticed that I had to be really careful when I inserted the middle booklet lest the loop could slip back inside the book. Is this normal or did I miss a step? Thanks again. (Time to start making holiday gifts!)
Love it! I've made a bunch of these in different sizes over the years. Do you not do anything to soften or form it? For myself I love the natural wear effect over years. But I'm about to make a bunch for friends and wanted to get a LITTLE more form fitting or "polish" and have been trying to figure out how to go about it.
Hi, great video and specially thank you for sharing the pattern, I do have a question for, the inserts I been looking at are the dotted ones, I find them a bit pricey, I've searched on Aliexpress but I wonder if anyone has any idea or option, I'm planning to replace my regular journal for a one of this and I do love the dotted pages.
@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER thank you yours is the best leather making tutorial I've seen. Have always wanted to wanted to make my own and i just got everything i need. But i have one question would you received using interfacing with fabric on the inside? Im making a journal for my sister. We like to include sentimental things to the gifts we give each other and i have what's left of her blankie and I thought it would be a great idea to use a piece of it to line the journal just want to know if it's a dooable any feedback would be appreciated thank you
Hello, thanks a lot. I wanted to ask you if you are planning to share template for men’s long wallet with a zipper with 5mm spacing stitching. Thank you in advance.
Ever tried a small bible that's fell apart in little pamphlets I'm wanting to do some king James bibles this way sort of and not sure how and what type of leathers
that is 3x the thickness of a normal leather? As long as there is NO SEWING and just HOLE PUNCHING...you will just have to hit the hole-punch 3x harder...Janis
really...who would have known...thanks for your "heads up" to everyone concerned. I guess that is why I just like to stick to BASICS...I would hand cut my leather...probably would end up a bit wonky...since I am bad with blades and rulers, better with scissors...but using scissors and thick leather...ya...good luck...janis
@@zan_lenThe heat of the laser could potentially lead to the production of hevavalent chromium. It's incredibly bad news for you, especially if you're dealing with long term exposure. Wouldnt be worried about a one off but if it was something you were doing frequently you're going to want decent extraction.

That’s a square knot.
If it's not done that way it's called a "granny knot".
@@sabio2009 thought that was a reef knot????
Great video! Made one myself successfully! Used 2mm dark brown full grain leather (Amazon), with nylon elastic cord from Walmart.
Thank you so much for saying the thickness of the leather you use. So many other videos leave out that information.

Can you send me a pic of your setup you mentioned?
Would you mind showing me how you did yours as well ?
I would also like to see a picture of

I just finished doing mine and it looks great - thanks for the pattern. I'm going to make one for both of my sons.

Nicely done Justin! I'll "retain " this in my foggy brain...sounds like a good winter project...
Excellent video you explain very clearly, and you included templates.

I always like to keep the knot on the shorter side so that way you don’t have a bump on the inside of your insert.
Thank you for GREAT instructions and easy to understand👍
It looks sooo beautiful

Wonderful work... congratulations!
What kind of paper did You paper on leather before put it to laser?
Hey pal, good to see you again. Thanks for the patterns... appreciate you...later
Nice work...
THANK YOU!!! 🙏
Do u have a template for 8.3x5.5inch
Hello, thanks a lot. I wanted to ask you if you are planning to share template for men’s long wallet with a zipper with 5mm spacing stitching.
Thank you in advance.
Dam is that easy lol. Great video, not to long, to the point.
Ever tried a small bible that's fell apart in little pamphlets I'm wanting to do some king James bibles this way sort of and not sure how and what type of leathers
Where can I buy this skin?
great vid!
I have 6mm leather. Think it’s possible to makes this with thicker leather?
That should be no problem.
that is 3x the thickness of a normal leather? As long as there is NO SEWING and just HOLE PUNCHING...you will just have to hit the hole-punch 3x harder...Janis
Subscribed! 🫶
Thanks
Do you sell any leather goods or just the templates to make them?
The 10 volumes version so there small
If you have a laser cutter, why not just laser cut all the pieces?
Chrome Tan leather cutting with laser? You better crank up that exhaust and wear a mask. Bad stuff, dude. Cancer alert.

Could you explain? Is it bad to heat up chrome tan? (I dont know what it means)

I hate relying on proprietary notebooks and prefer to make my own from thick cardstock and printer paper.
