You now know why bookbinding has truly been an art of its own for centuries. This was your first attempt, and you're disappointed in it? I think you did pretty bloody good! Don't be too quick to point out errors. It's a rare person indeed that achieves perfection on their first go at something like this. I think it looks great, and would be more than proud to own it. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks Mark Lindsay A Book Binder, I am NOT! :-) LOL But It was still a lot of fun. I had in my head that i would have the leather much tighter across the cover, and try to emboss it, I think this to be the main cause for disappointment. The leather was pretty poor quality, and could probably have do with stretching a little more. That said, it's still a book, that can be used, so watch out for future videos along these lines :-)
The amount of encouragement and love in these comments is really heartwarming! I just recently also made one by using Sea Lemon's tutorial and I had similar complaints with mine. I had the opposite problem with my edge though, it was just a little too short, so the the end pages almost were longer. But I too look forward to future achievements!
I'm a Bookbinder & I think you did a really good job for a first effort! The 'cover papers' you mentioned are called 'Endpapers' & book covers &/or spines are debossed, not embossed (a very common misconception). A small book press would have ironed out the leather cover. Keep on keeping on :)
You actually did very well for your first try. This is a true art. Careful stretching and precision alignment are not easily achieved. Your gaps between the spine board and face boards should be 1/4". the face boards should only be 1/4" bigger then the book. Book binding leather is much thinner then jacket leather so you had considerable obstacles to over come. Very nice work though. I wouldn't hang my head after that.
David Harris THANKS! That's a really nice comment. Having never done this before, it was a bit like fumbling around in the dark. But I definitely be doing other ones like this in the future. Thanks for watching.
It was definitely worth having a bash at reusing the leather. Although a couple of people have said that bookbinding leather is thinner (which makes a lot of sense now), Expect some other note books in the future, I've also invested in one of those punches to round the page corners ;-)
Don't be too hard on yourself! You did bloody well to be honest. I'm only just starting out with papercrafting but jewellery making and leatherwork is my background. My day job is nursing so I completely appreciated your stitching-it's way better than mine 😂
Great project! I have done this many times before but using paper instead of leather. You can find some pretty good quality papers for this purpose in most craft stores to practice before you use leather again. In my experience, the spine cardboard piece makes the book look nicer but limits how much flex it has. For everyday notes, I leave it out (Moleskine notebooks leave it out too.) Awesome first try. It came out way better than my first time! Lol
I am a bookibinder and I made the same mistake with my first journal. Your tutorial got me intrested and I watched it all, I love it. Make other videos please :)
Thank you for this, I thought this was a great idea for a gift. I have just spent several enjoyable hours looking at lots of bookbinding videos. Sea Lemon is good but have a,look at bookbinderschronicle as well for a more in-depth look. Whilst your video looks similar to the Diresta one, you took the time to sew in the sentences whilst Diresta used a modified version of the "Perfect" system used for magazines etc. Yours should last longer! Thank you again I now know a lot more about bookbinding than I did before I watched your video!
Many thanks for the kind words! :-) I would be the first to admit that I know very little about book binding, but learnt a lot myself whilst having a go. Although I admit to taking inspiration from Jimmy, and others, I tried to put my own stamp on this project. There will be other videos around this idea in the future.
Wow, great job. I really like how you covered the book board with leather. I was looking for a book binding tutorial that I could modify for art purposes and this was perfect! Thanks for uploading and keep up the good work.
Bloody brilliant! I've been perusing book binding videos as I am just getting to making a very large tomb on my own, as a first try no less. Your video helped a lot with my planning stages.
I think you did an excellent job! First time I have watched anything like this and I quite enjoyed it. Thank you for posting this video; I learned a lot about something different.
ICDTWW I learned a huge amount! The main text block of the book was pretty easy to do, but the actual hard cover needs a bit of work :-) Thanks for watching.
I think you made a very good job Richard. My daughter is just having a go at binding with leather as she wants to do her Harry Potter collection! Tools keep disappearing from my workshop! Happy New Year - regards Barry
Yes, I don't see why not, at the end of the day thats how books are made! I think it would be a good idea to make you printed pages slightly oversized to your planned finished size though - that way you'll have a better chance of getting the printed area in line with your trimmed edges. Give it a go!!
Thanks for the tutorial! How do you stitch together the groups of paper. It looks like you are stitching together only a few at a time and then combining them.
Thanks for watching... It's called "saddle stitching" it's pretty straightforward, and means you can effectively have as many groups of pages as you want and therefore create really think bound volumes. the channel "sea lemon" has some brilliant saddle stitch notebook tutorials!
I thought it was great. Esp by hand and eyeball. Good eye. If you don't like the end papers, add another piece of paper over it to cover it, But I thought it was great. We are always our greatest critics. Nice leather, too
Thanks! :-) glad you enjoyed. And yes, I think as makers we are our own worst critic - but always wanting to do better is part of what makes us makers!
really nice job sir, i've been hesitating to do one myself for a little cosplay, i'd need a more massive book, something like B5 format and the leather cover rims enclosed with metal, any tips on how could i do that ?
VlaD Starcraft Thanks! This is the first and only time i've done this so far, although I'll definitely be doing it again. So I'm probably not the best person for advise, but I would say, Give it a go! nothing to loose :-)
I recently made my own bookbinding and the result was better than expected, didnt know how it was gonna turn out and now im filling it with dessert recipes (im a pastry chef XD)
God stuff, being a chef you are already a "maker", where food is your medium....chances are you have the aptitude for making. Good stuff!! enjoy your new recipe book!! :-)
Hello, enjoyed watching, just a question about the adhesive you used for leather to hardboard? How did you find it worked and what was the name of the product? All I got was ?P61 Premium? Thanks for the tutorial, will be following.
Looks like you did very well, Rick and you demonstrate the process in a way that it looks very achieveable and uncomplicated. Happy New Year to you! :-)
Hello! Loved this, just wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions... What type of card/material did you cover with the leather to make it hardback? Also would this method work if the book had far fewer, tea stained pages in? I want to make something like this as brides maids invites but I only need 14 pages. Oh also that wooden thing you were using to clamp the pages did you make that or can you buy them? Thankyou!
Thanks +Jessica McCluskey !! Firstly I am no book binder! If a professional book binder watched this they would probably feint! :-) to answer your questions though.... I simply used the cardboard from the back of the paper pad that i got the pages from - when you buy a refill pad of paper theres a piece of card to keep the pad stiff so i just used that. I don't think the number of pages will have a great effect on the outcome, but I've never tried it. That said you can buy thick heavy hardback books and small thin ones too! To clamp the pages and parts I simply used a couple of scraps of plywood 18mm thick and some woodworking clamps I had. You can buy book presses, but i figured it was easy enough use what i had. check out the channel "Sea Lemon" she has loads of tutorials, and is far better at book binding than I! :-) Good luck with the wedding too! :-)
I have a question! At 6:06 you press it down onto the card then lift it back up and I hear a distinct ripping sound. My guess is that you used something like Easy-Tack? Otherwise I am confused on how it was sticky, or tacky. Great video though and I don't see anything wonky at all! I love your technique. If I were doing it, Lord help! It would look like a 3-year-old did it. I'm good at making a design for it. Not so much actually doing it. lol!
HA HA!!! No, that was the table creaking as I'm pressing down! :-) I did this project on the kitchen table as there's a light directly overhead! The glue used for this project is called LP61, it's a permanent fix contact adhesive.
Yeah, I don't think Dog watched the video, else Dog would've known. When I saw you pull out that jacket, I cringed knowing what you were about to do! I don't know, I think in my mind I felt like there is a law somewhere that says you aren't supposed to desecrate anything that's made from leather (though yours is probably faux but I have no way of knowing), ever. lol! Still, I think it's great that you're not just tossing it. You're getting more use out of it and that's a fantastic thing to do. My congrats on a great technique and it's absolutely beautiful!
Thanks! thats really nice to say! further to the jacket, I knew someone who worked at the charity shop in question, they used to get lots of clothing so the things that didn't sell to customers would get back loaded and sold off per kilo to a firm, the jacket, and a skirt were taken from this pile and used. that was about 5 years ago, and i still have some of it. looking at the back, it is real leather - but very thin stuff.
That is a product called "LP61" It's made by a company called TensorGrip, they are available through many suppliers here in the UK, and part of "Quinn Global" in the US. They are a great company, and the people who work there are friendly, knowledgable and Fun too. They know there stuff! contact them via twitter (AT TensorGlobal) if you have any questions, or check local availability! Its really great stuff. I now don't use any other form of spray adhesive that needs to be permanent.
I can't remember to be honest! LOL! It really doesn't matter much though, as you make up the smaller sections and then stick them together at the end. this means you can make it as many pages long as you need.
we'll can someone give me everything he used list? even that graph and spray,glue and links maybe where u can get them (tools and the thing where he dried it and hold them together 2) plz and thx
you don't need very much, aside the obvious leather, paper, card, needle and thread, it's just wood glue, an awl, knife, ruler, some boards to clamp with and some patience.
I completely agree! If i were doing this a lot, I probably would, but when you put leather onto a surface with contact adhesive, it's stuck, there's no way to move it or stretch it, it's fixed. I'm not a book binder or leather worker, i just like making things, except music, i'm not musical either, other than having an opinion on it.
+jamie frost using this method only requires a few sheets of printer paper, or scrap paper cut to a suitable size and a needle and thread. plus whatever you use for the cover. No expensive pieces of parchment required. :-)
LaughingLion4Ever I'd Never done anything like this before, so doing a "how-to style tutorial route" seemed a little bit adventurous. Prior to this christmas I was also making lots of projects for gifts, and didn't particularly want to spend 60% of the time shooting video scenes, so I just got the camera out and got on with it. It wasn't meant to be a rip off of Jimmy's work, I can see the similarities, but an "exact copy" seems a little harsh. But thanks for watching.
I see a lot of these books making videos, but they all fail to show and explain what they are doing. Also they fail to show the techniques of book binding. I hate to tear apart a book to figure it out. I usually like preserving books and fixing them when they show wear and tear to make them look new.
@@debraan6482 then go and watch one of the many videos from people like sealemon or the 100’s of other similar account who put videos out titled “how to…..”
It was a charity shop find, and got for the purpose... But yeah, you could look at it that way.... another way is, someone going in wanting a coat would get a coat, i wanted this one, so the charity sold two coats, not just one coat...

Richard, I would imagine this project as one of many more fine works. I like it! Good for you.
Great project. Love the reuse of an old jacket for the leather. When I run out of composition books I'll have to try this. Thanks.
It was definitely worth having a bash at reusing the leather. Although a couple of people have said that bookbinding leather is thinner (which makes a lot of sense now), Expect some other note books in the future, I've also invested in one of those punches to round the page corners ;-)
Kind of peaceful and relaxing to watch with just the sound of your work. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching Travis!
I have to make a portfolio for an architecture class and this is seriously the most useful video everr!!!!

The silence of the bookbinder!
I thought the same thing!
Love it!!!! I tried but my cardboard was out in the rain :( smh. Hopefully, with practice, I can make one as good as yours
Well done :) I'd rather be creative than spend lots of money on books. Im trying to find the right tools to make a ring binder.
Thanks Brian, just what I was looking for. I also have a couple old coats to cut up and use. Would be so pleased if mine turned out as good as yours!!
That’s great Dixie, glad it was of use, Richard.

Very helpful, exactly what I was looking for, great place to start. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That's a pretty cool way to use our LP61 spray adhesive! Great work!
thanks, it's a pretty cool product, nice and easy to use. seemed easier to use that than mess about with something from a tube or tin. :-)

Good job for your first time, Richard.
Steve Collins Thanks Steve! I'll be trying a few more projects this year too, so keep an eye out.
I thought you did great, especially for a first try. I really liked the press thing you built & also your use of recycled leather instead of new.
Wow thanks! This was a cool project to try, I also have an idea to do others as well!

You did a great job!

Let me know how she gets on! As it happens I'm in the middle of watching "Goblet of fire"! :-)
***** So is she!
What spray did you use and why?
amazing video you helped me finish my dictionary project
Bash Alnahdi Good Stuff! I'd love to se a picture!
What kind of adhesive did you use to connect the leather with the cardboard? Great job btw
its just a spray contact adhesive - just because its an near instant bond. PVA wood glue works fine, but it takes awhile to dry.
What glues did you use. Did you use 22 pound paper or 26# .
Sticky glue, and white paper.
Could this work if you printed the pages of a book? Like say for instance you printed the pages of the book on a thicker paper?
Yes, I don't see why not, at the end of the day thats how books are made! I think it would be a good idea to make you printed pages slightly oversized to your planned finished size though - that way you'll have a better chance of getting the printed area in line with your trimmed edges.

Excelente. Gracias por tu video 😎 saludos desde Argentina 🌸👏👍
Thanks!
This is excellent!
thanks it was a fun build!
what kind of stitch did you use on the signatures?
It’s been a while since I did this but it was probably either pamphlet or kettle stitch. 🤔🤔
It looked like the kettle stitch to me. (also, props to BrainFizz for still being active on a 7 year old video!)
Nice recycle of old leather jacket. I'll keep that in mind for sourcing leather in the future. Thrift stores have a bunch of them.
I find they're a good place, and I otherwise probably wouldn't use them, so it's all for a good cause.
Looks good. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!! :-)
Hello!
Loved this, just wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions...

what sort of glue(s) do you recommend?
its a standard spray adhesive in a can.
wykonanie średnie,ale pomysł prosty :)
Qual o tipo de costura você usou?
Where did you get all that leather from? And how much is it? My budget's pretty tight, so yeah.
this was an old leather jacket that i got from a charity shop and cut up.
Yeah, I don't think Dog watched the video, else Dog would've known. When I saw you pull out that jacket, I cringed knowing what you were about to do! I don't know, I think in my mind I felt like there is a law somewhere that says you aren't supposed to desecrate anything that's made from leather (though yours is probably faux but I have no way of knowing), ever. lol!

magnoliasouth If you were referring to me, I'll have know that it looked a lot like a pile of leather scrap to me.
this is really good thanks for the help anytime i needed it :D
Mega! Glad you found some inspiration in the video!
Amazingly Beautiful
Thanks! :-)
What is the spray glue you are using?
Its one of the Tensor grip range (L12 or LP62 I think), great stuff - the only contact adhesive you'll likely see me use now!
What's that spray you use at certain points? I think one time was at 5:30.
That is a product called "LP61" It's made by a company called TensorGrip, they are available through many suppliers here in the UK, and part of "Quinn Global" in the US. They are a great company, and the people who work there are friendly, knowledgable and Fun too. They know there stuff! contact them via twitter (AT TensorGlobal) if you have any questions, or check local availability! Its really great stuff. I now don't use any other form of spray adhesive that needs to be permanent.
Thanks for the info! I make leather bound books myself so this is just what I was looking for.
What was that you sprayed on the leather?
It was a spray contact adhesive, just to stop it moving around.
Hey, how many unfolded pages did you use?
I can't remember to be honest! LOL! It really doesn't matter much though, as you make up the smaller sections and then stick them together at the end. this means you can make it as many pages long as you need.
Ok cookbook that there for me
Beautiful I will try it
Give it a go! It's way easier than you'd think!!
HOla, como se llama ese aparato con el que sujetas las hojas? que parece hacerle presion?

Its perfectand this is perfect for me now, covering a journal
glad it was what you wanted! thanks for the watch!!
I'm interested

“Spray contact adhesive”
Me: Wow his leather journal looks perfect!
You: I wasn't as pleased with it. In my head I had it perfect..
I guess we’re all our own worst critics at the end of the day!
what glue do you use?
PVA wood glue and spray contact adhesive.
we'll can someone give me everything he used list? even that graph and spray,glue and links maybe where u can get them (tools and the thing where he dried it and hold them together 2) plz and thx
you don't need very much, aside the obvious leather, paper, card, needle and thread, it's just wood glue, an awl, knife, ruler, some boards to clamp with and some patience.
Did you mention the grid's name? Also than k you
It's just a cutting mat to stop you damaging your table top, you can use anything thats flat and you don't mind being cut into.
Richard Morley thanks
Thank you soooooooo much💚💚💚💚
You're welcome 😊
Thanks
I see a lot of fingers doing the job that the bone folder is there for. You should get one, or use a sturdy credit card to smooth out you leather
I completely agree! If i were doing this a lot, I probably would, but when you put leather onto a surface with contact adhesive, it's stuck, there's no way to move it or stretch it, it's fixed.
I'm not a book binder or leather worker, i just like making things, except music, i'm not musical either, other than having an opinion on it.

Is that cardboard?
yes.
Magnificent. 🇦🇺🍺👍
Thanks
Thank you
+mohamed nevim No problem, Thanks for watching!
I wish I had stuff to make my spell book but I don't want to waist any money just for a book
+jamie frost using this method only requires a few sheets of printer paper, or scrap paper cut to a suitable size and a needle and thread. plus whatever you use for the cover. No expensive pieces of parchment required. :-)
OK thank you for responding to me.
Good
thanks! was it useful?

I played Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' in the background.

Exact copy of the Diresta video...but nice work anyway.
LaughingLion4Ever I'd Never done anything like this before, so doing a "how-to style tutorial route" seemed a little bit adventurous. Prior to this christmas I was also making lots of projects for gifts, and didn't particularly want to spend 60% of the time shooting video scenes, so I just got the camera out and got on with it.
It wasn't meant to be a rip off of Jimmy's work, I can see the similarities, but an "exact copy" seems a little harsh.
But thanks for watching.

Hoşgeldin arkadaş
then people jus come and rip pages off
You didn't really specify what it is that you were actually doing.
Diana Herrera It wasn't really meant as an instructional video. Although I hope you enjoyed watching.

many thanks!
I see a lot of these books making videos, but they all fail to show and explain what they are doing. Also they fail to show the techniques of book binding. I hate to tear apart a book to figure it out. I usually like preserving books and fixing them when they show wear and tear to make them look new.
@@debraan6482 then go and watch one of the many videos from people like sealemon or the 100’s of other similar account who put videos out titled “how to…..”
You destroyed a nice leather coat... :(
It was a charity shop find, and got for the purpose... But yeah, you could look at it that way.... another way is, someone going in wanting a coat would get a coat, i wanted this one, so the charity sold two coats, not just one coat...
You destroyed a nice comment section... :(
not clean enough
+made wijayanto Clean?
This is ridiculous without narration, explanation & list of supplies
It was never meant to be a “how to or tutorial video”. There are more than enough of those already.
