  • A quick flip through my Ochre Malden Personal-sized "Filodori" with a brief tutorial on how I removed the rings from my Filofax and why anyone would want to do that!

    It took me 3 ms. of thinking of thinking about doing this off and on until one day I just did it!!! I am wondering why I didn't do this years ago!!!! I ADORE it. It is so beautiful and functional. It somehow just elevated the "office" feel of the Filofax to a the "romance" feel of the Traveler's Notebook!!! I love it and I just want to thank the brave souls that came before (you included) to give us courage to do this. It is just such a pleasure to use now. The only problem is that now that I have done this and enjoyed it so much, I have been eyeing on the rest of my Filo's thinking they could use this improvement to!! HA!! Loved the video.....thanks for posting it!!! ; )

      +Debbie Lee So glad you took the plunge! I've been eyeing one of my other personal sizes lately for the same reason. I definitely agree with your statement about the office feel + the romance feel. It's the best of both worlds! Keep enjoying your Filodori, and thanks for watching!

    I am taking the plunge with my a5 Malden! Thank you for explaining it so well! I feel much more comfortable taking it apart now and being able to add the strings! Xoxo

      Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm so glad you found it helpful!!! Have you taken the plunge yet? I'd love to hear how you're liking it, if so! Thanks for watching!

    I love u! I made a Van Der Spek into a Travelers Notebook. It was pretty easy because it comes with removable rings. But I couldn't figure out how to get the rings out of my Personal Filofax that are riveted. And some people say it can't be done. Thank you, thank you! And love how detailed your videos are.

    Just seeing this video in 2019. You can keep the rings and use the travelers notebook strings to reattach the rings. Carrie Harling did a video on this process! ❤️
    Loved this video!

    Thanks for such a helpful video. It has definitely given me some ideas to convert some of my Filofax notebooks into a TN notebook. Looks like fun!

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  8 лет назад

      +ArtfulYama It definitely is fun! I've also converted an A5 Malden since this video. I use them way more now! Glad you found it helpful!

      I just found these journals at my local dollar tree 3 days ago. I like how you used them, same idea as me but I'm using my Franklin planner. Great looking and functional. Be blessed.

      Now I need to go check out the Dollar Tree =) Thanks for the tip!

    I have no plans to do this anytime soon, but when/if my rings die, I'll be all over this to use with my B6 Stalogy.

  • @heidifris4880
    @heidifris4880 9 лет назад

    I am torn between staying with rings and going the dori route and this is the best of both worlds... now to get a malden cheap enough so I don't freak out ha ha! Great tutorial and I am really wanting to do this.

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  9 лет назад

      +Heidi Fris it definitely the best of both worlds! Good luck and thanks for watching!

    Wow, it turned out really nice! You did a wonderful job here. I have a few Maldens resting unused as I do not like the ring system any longer and now much prefer the TN style. Wondering if I will have the guts though ;) Thanks for sharing!

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  9 лет назад

      +Tiramisu Thanks for watching! It's definitely a great way to still use ringed binders when you find a new system works better for you. Glad you found it helpful, and hope you find the guts ;)

    I also have several of these notebooks, love the nostalgic look of them. If they fit in your personal look for stalogy b6 notebooks on amazon. It's like a hobonichi techo. I wish I could ask you to remove my rings when I want to buy Malden. I'm afraid of rings. Love your video.

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  7 лет назад

      I love the look of them, too! It seems daunting to remove the rings, but when you actually start doing it, it's not that hard =) Thanks for watching!

    Someone needs to tell Filofax they could be onto something if they made a Dori version!!,😁

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  9 лет назад +2

      Suzee Neal Haha, absolutely! Since they've branched out to the Notebooks and already have the Flex system, it doesn't seem like it'd be that much of a stretch! Gillio already did it and seems to be enjoying success with that line!

    • @scruffy281
      @scruffy281 7 лет назад +1

      Suzee Neal...You are so right!! They have such beautiful leathers to work with.......if they just wanted to "dip their feet" into the TN waters, they could just do a few in their Malden leathers. I would buy one!

    • @joannemarkov
      @joannemarkov 6 лет назад

      I'd settle for replaceable rings, so you can choose to take them out or replace them with new ones / different sizes, etc.

    • @joannemarkov
      @joannemarkov 6 лет назад

      They now make something called an "Folio," though it's only A4 and A5. I hope in the future they'll catch on. At the very least, they could make their planners with removable rings, like the Saffiano zip.

    Funny.....I have those exact same notebooks. Only I got them from Dollar Tree. It was at the beginning of this year some time. Michael's must have discontinued them

    I want to do this so badly .. I sold a personal holborn and now what it back ! Lol

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  9 лет назад +1

      Suzee Neal I'd been intrigued by the idea ever since Kent from Oz posted pictures of his, but I didn't want to use my Pocket Malden and wasn't sure how it'd work with a Personal. Now I sort of want to convert more, even though I don't have a use for them. Because what I really need is a new planner addiction ;) Thanks for watching!

    • @mysummertouch
      @mysummertouch 9 лет назад

      horizon1322 ha ha! 'm afraid that the same happens to me! I have several filofaxes and non-filofaxes, but haven't made this decision yet... Bravo for doing this!

    • @horizon1322
      @horizon1322  9 лет назад

      mysummertouch I'm planning on attaching the rings to a piece of plastic that I can then insert into the back vertical pocket so it can convert back to a ringed binder. So there might be a way to have it be not quite as permanent, and thus hopefully easier for you to make the decision =) Thanks for watching!

    • @mysummertouch
      @mysummertouch 9 лет назад

      that's what I asked filofax company to do - removable rings! I have a review of an A4 filofax with removable rings - it is just so convenient! I'm going to watch your channel to see how you did it!
