    In this video I make 15 leather covered pocket note books using simple techniques. I do use a few vintage book binding machines but all of the cutting can be accomplished with a razor and a straight edge!

    My 2.5 year old daughter loves watching you work! Spends the whole time asking “what is he doing?” At the end of the video she claps and says “yay he made it!” Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!

    These are absolutely gorgeous! As someone who is a printer and bookbinder by trade, I have thoroughly enjoyed this video and I am not ashamed to admit I am a bit envious of some of the tools you have. I do all of my sewing manually on a sewing frame. :) Stay awesome! Much respect from Slovenia.

    A Kingsley Machine! I used to have one for marking wire. Type was curved, different sizes for different gauges. Had blocks to hold the wire in place. Similar if not same machine. Cloth covered two conductor wiring (no ground wire). Gave it to a friend that had a use for it after it sat unused for several years.

    Lovely, just so efficient, compact and so obviously useful and all made with 19th century technology, although then the sewing would likely be treadle powered. Sometimes the traditional tools, methods and products are better than any modern variant. Thank you for sharing!

    These look great! Love your collection of oddly specific antique tools! The gold stamp is awesome. I didn't think I'd see a cast iron paper cutter after you used the brass triangle to cut the paper, but I see you got it in there. That's a nice desktop size. Mine is a little bigger about 250 lbs so not as portable.

    Setting up the type reminded me of 9 th grade print shop and setting pica . We had kids who were "rats" in the class , so we would wait for them to put the last letter in the print set up then we would " accidently " bump into the tray spilling type all over the floor. They would quickly change their ways .
    Nobody likes a RAT , Snitches get stitches. Anyway great little book there , Pocket sized and available when that GREAT idea hits you. Stay well Taylor , Willie and you my brother
