Clear presentation and well narrated- a few suggestions: get some PVA glue, Elmers is not great for longevity or pH; consider Lumbecking- push the bookblock away from you and brushing glue them pulling the block towards you and brushing glue. This coats the sheets deeper and makes it stronger. Diagonal spine cuts good, but I alternate their direction for added torsional strength. Nate
Thank you for the suggestions, Nate. PVA is for sure the best for longevity, and the trick with bending then brushing the spine is a technique I saw before but didn't applied here, but it's definitely a must.
This type of "perfect" binding is better when the text block is held in the vise you skew the the spine one way, apply glue and then skew the spine the other way and apply glue. That way you get some glue down a bit farther between the pages which will hold better than glue just applied to the top of the spine....
I've used shoe glue to bind a book that fell apart because of brittle glue. Preparation is important. The shoe glue dries rubbery. As someone commented, it's an added strength to bend the spine-end pages side to side when applying glue to get some glue further into the spine.
That's a good idea. I love re-typesetting whenever I see a poor page design, at least for print. I'll watch out if there's demand on this kind of file.

All excellent suggestions. I kind of cringe when I see folks using Elmer's school glue or glue sticks for bookbinding projects. 😬
Thank you for the suggestions, Nate.

Going to try this out on my past university notes 😊
Your book turned out great! ❤
Thank you!
I don't know why youtube recommended this to me, but great video, very interesting. I didn't know people DIY bookbinding like this.

I know this technique, I'll try to apply it in a next project. Thank you.

Never used this type of glue but yes, bending the spine end will make the glue go a little deeper in each sheet of paper.
Congratulations for this amazing and inspiring work. Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate it.
nice video. you might think about offering the re-typeset version you're using for sale as a digital file if it was originally a public domain book.
I also think there might be interest in the re-typeset version.

Thank you for the comment. Do you have a suggestion of a public domain work it would be nice to feature in the channel?
WHat glue are you using?
Elmer's Glue-All, Multi purpose glue (stronger formula, dries fast). I'm not sponsored :)
I might be stupid, but what did the thread do?
They help secure the pages going deeper in the spine and not just at the edge.
Невероятно увлекательный процесс создания
Thank you!
