I absolutely love seeing so many folks here needing Bible repairs. It means they're actually using them!
My bible started falling apart , tried hot gluing, didn't work, tried tape obviously didn't work and got totally called out for it when I found this video. 🤣 Thankfully I didn't reach the "point of no return " and was able to watch this video and followed along. Happy to say I've successfully fixed my own bible !!
So glad this was helpful to you!
My wife had a bible she dearly loved and as she's a real note taker, it was filled wih YEARS of annotations. The cover separated on one side and we were thinking of getting it rebound. In looking on the web, we came across this and it was just what i needed. I ordered the materials and just now finished re-attaching the cover to her bible. It will be waiting for her when she gets home. Thanks SO much!
Thanks!
I pray a blessing over you, Mr. Frost.
I pray that you and your family are well taken care of. Please keep your soft heart. Keep it soft for people like me that you will meet along the way.
Jesus Christ is the Living King!
I pray infinite wisdom and knowledge.
I pray that as you heal people in your ministry, you can prophesy their solution.
Which is always back to Jesus.
Good bless you and your family.
Wow. Bless you my friend, thank you for your wonderful gift offering.
I can watch this stuff all day...I have done a few repairs for people in my church, no where as good as you...but I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks
My English-Spanish Bible fell apart. It was unusable. My wife gave this to me as a Christmas present in 2006. I have used it extensively in Cuba and daily here in the USA. It was with me on three occasions in Peru. I followed your instructions, and my old Bible now sits back on my desk! Thanks for the lesson on rebinding my Bible!
that is amazing, great job :)
Great video, I can tackle my Holman that has seen a major failure front and back.
Your craftsmanship is unmatched. You make something difficult look very easy! It’s a joy to watch your work. Thanks for the care you take with the Word of God!!
Thank you for this comment! blessings.
Thanks, I needed this. I have a 40 year old Bible that has lived in my car all this time. You never know when you are going to need one. It now needs help.
Thank you so much! I was gifted a student Bible at the age of 15 and at 37 it had fallen apart. I tried to goggle a repair shop near me to fix it but I think it will mean SO much more now that I can fix it myself. 😊❤🎉
Thank you for your videos. I have attempted a few of my own repairs. I wish I had waited till after viewing your instructions.
Great and informative. Hopefully we can get mine repaired...
Thank you so much for this detailed video! My granddaughter wanted her Bible repaired. I offered to buy her a new one, but she had a lot of notes and markings in it that she didn't want to lose. Some pages had come loose and the cover had come off. With the help of your video, I was able to repair it. Thanks again!
Glad I can help :)
Thank you for this! My Latin Missal was falling apart. It was my grandmother’s so I want to keep it for life. thanks to you I can fix it and continue to use it!
Yep I can do that
Thank You!
Thank you for this very instructive video. I am going to try to rebind my Bible first which is coming apart. If I can do a good job on this one then my daughter and I will attempt to do an old family Bible that we've had for almost 50 years and she keeps it on a table and has been using it daily.
Glad it was helpful!
This was super easy to follow along with! I am missing a few materials to get the binding done right now - thanks for including all the items I will need before beginning. Much appreciated 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you brother for all your doing I really appreciate it!
This was a cool behind the scenes thank you for sharing
Thanks this video was very helpful.
Just stumbled across this video. Awesome. I'm excited about this tutorial. I bought a Thomas Nelson signature series KJV that has the same issue as this Pitt you just showed us how to repair. I've done several rebinds but wasn't sure how to repair my TN signature series but now I know. Thanks again Jeremiah for the videos. Keep teaching us Padawans. Lol
Thank you! God is good! This is exactly what I needed to see! I have been watching your videos (and some others) hoping to learn basic repair, not really planning to rebind with new leather. I have a pigskin leather Scofield 3 ESV where the maps are separating from the spine. Now I see the appropriate fix. Not really what I wanted to endeavor, but… it is the right fix. Thank you. Best wishes and prayers for you entering your ministry calling!
Thank you so much Good Teacher. This method is such a blessing. I always outsource my leather jobs and it gets a bit pricey. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
This was really cool and educational, thanks!
Thanks for the hint about flame-sealing the ribbons. I'm gonna try that with the ribbons in my hymnals!
Great video. I love the Bible repair videos. I would love to see these more. Thanks for making it
You got it! Thank you for watching my friend.
Sorry Jeremiah... Follow up with a similar issue to what you've shown.. I have a TN Signature series edge line. The rear signature has broken loose with the end sheet still attached to the tab. How do I fix this? Remove the block, repair it and then recase it into the liner tabs? Thanks
Ko wow I took a trip and it slide down by my brake and I didn't see it 300 in morning now I can fix it thank you very old. You have been a God send don't stop this I have started book binding thank you pastor
That was a great teaching video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great instruction. Awesome work!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you SO much for these videos! They’re incredibly helpful!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video! Your instruction is very helpful!
You are welcome!
Great explanation! You’ve given me the confidence to give a go on my ESV from bible college.
You can do it!
Obrigado pelas dicas, trabalho incrível.
Very helpful! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for pointing out the extra space to allow movement when it opens! I think I may be binding mine too tight or too close to the spine, especially for the thicker leather I've been trying. I'm probably putting undue strain on the block where the liner tabs attach. The physics are hard for me to predict precisely, and by the time you can see how it turned out, the glue is set.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing this. I'm starting to learn to do this myself.
You are very welcome
Beautiful bible!
Great Video - Thank you so much..
Thank you for this Excellent tutorial. I have a 1988 Nelson that I picked up that this will definitely help with repairing the cover.
Glad it helped
Excellent information. I believe I will be able to follow the detailed process so well demonstrated. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I've got Bible's I bought in the 70's and I love and use they're falling apart at the seams, now and ONLY now do I know how to repair them, and maybe get to use them a further 50 years :D
What a blessing :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this detailed video! What changes to the repair process are there if the break occurs at the end sheet crease rather than between the fly-leaf and bible paper as you describe in this video?
Great job,thank you
Thank you too!
This was great! Ty. 👍✝️🙏❤️
You are so welcome
Not something I'd attempt myself, but very informative.
Great job! Is it a good idea to reinforce the spine? Add card stock or a spacer of some type?
Thanks!
Thank you. You made that look so easy. I am sure it is harder than it looks but I now feel confident that when the need arises I will be able to do the same. Am I correct in my assumption that the process would be different for a edge lined bible?
your welcome! an edge lined bible would be repaired a bit differently, actually easier to repair and edge lined than it is a paste down.
Loved the video! Found you trying to find a repair for my Bible. It is cracking like crazy on the edges of the leather binder and need help figuring out how to stop it from cracking more while l use it. Help?? Advice?? Wish l could attach a picture!
Glad I found your informative video for Bible repair. I want to repair my Bibles (I have 3 Bibles coming apart) and am ready to make repairs. Do you happen to buy supplies online and where is best? Looks like you do great repairs.
Glad it was helpful! I have links to many supplies in our description.
Thank you, that is a very helpful video. I was really disappointed after taking my bible from my teens to a local Christian publisher, and they really just used tape (all over some of the quotes I'd written in the endpapers!!! I have another preaching bible, that you've inspired me to have a go fixing. Your sound was just fine by the way, thank you, and blessings back to you!
One question: The preaching bible still to be repaired has no stitched signatures, just a whole lot of pages all glued together... except for when they have come apart. There are a few individual pages in the middle of the two main sections. I plan to use bookcloth on it as you've shown. Any suggestions on how to ensure the individual pages are glued in? It was a gift from the church at the time, and is sentimental for that reason.
Hi there, I really enjoyed your video and thanks for taking YOUR time to make it! I do have a question, Is the glue you use on the spine (from the jar) the same glue you have in the little needle bottle to reattach the pages? I only saw one glue in the links but wanted to make sure.
Yes, it is
Excellent! Any way to purchase your online services wherein I can video you the disrepair of my Bible in order to get some specific advice to repair it properly? It is quite beyond what your new Bible repair presentation?
I do offer a live Video service, send us an email FrostBibles@Gmail.com
Does the book glue have to be thinned out any for use in the needle feed applicator bottle?
The cover has come off of my Cambridge Bible. This is a great video, but I’m wondering if you do repairs for other people. How much would you charge me to repair my Bible? I can send pictures.
Thank you for sharing this information. Your work is exceptional! My bible has this "classic" break that you mention and I want to repair it myself. It is an Oxford University Press Scofield bible that I got in 1982. All of the pages and signatures are in good shape, just a complete break on the back cover between the cover sheet and the bible paper. Will the repair method be the same for my Oxford as it is for your Cambridge in this video? Thanks!
I know you are busy and it's the Christmas holidays as well. I repaired my bible using this method with a few differences due to the fact that it isn't a pit minion binding. I went 1/2" on each side of the binding with the book cloth and craft paper and for the cover, I used the bone folder to separate the end sheet material from the cover 1/2" deep in order to attach the new binding. I glued both sides of the paper and cloth instead of just one side because mine doesn't have the 3/16" gap. After gluing and putting it in the press, it is like new. I also had some signatures that I thought I was going to have to glue together from the inside after putting on the cover but the new binding fixed them as well. Thank you again for taking the time to put these videos together. It is such great help! God bless you!
Thanks for watching! all paste down covers will call for this type or repair. if your bible has a leather lined cover, that is a different repair and this way will not work.
Hi, great vídeo! Just what i needed to repair an old Portuguese language dictionary 🙂
Can you tell me what material, besides the cloth, that you've used in the spine? That is some glossy , thick type of black coloured paper. Right?
Good job I have a local church Bible publishers 180 with a synthetic liner and it's starting to crack next to the text block whats your take on synthetic liners it seems to me that they're not really made to last that long what's your take on Pace down paper liners vs. Synthetic liners what do you like better? Thank you
Some synthetic liners, like LCBP uses, are of great quality. Like Cambridge bibles that have synthetic liners, they last. Any material on a bible, if taken care of will last. Bible covers fail because when they are drying out, to prevent this some leather oil will greatly help, but once it begins to fail it is too late unfortunately.
I love this.
But i have a question.
This is a great video on hiw to rebind a bible with a normal binding but i want to rebind one in a field journal style or wrap style cover. Is that possible with a glued bible like this?
It is certainly possible!
I am rather curious I don't know if you've done this but I've seen several times people will combine two different colors of leather. It would be very beneficial to myself and those of us who are trying to learn this craft better to see how you would go about that.
Will do one day :)
@frostleather Hey jermiah I have a question...
So on the book spine when removing the old ribbon and taking of the extra material do you usually not remove the old glue? And if so why do you not? I have been rebinding bibles for only 6 months and I was told to remove that old glue. It would definitely save me on a step if I didn't have to.
Also where do you get your ribbons?Thanks!!
It just depends, sometimes it is needed to remove the old material, sometimes it is not needed. I get my ribbons from Amazon, double face satin ribbons, any brand will work :)
@@frostLeather awesome thank you!!
Did you read the terms of service?
Thanks for the video. I have a little Bible I really like. It’s a paper back. Could I make a cover of some sort for it? It doesn’t have the same “opening” in the back. It’s just like a regular paperback book. What could I do to have a nice cover? Thanks
Paper back bibles are bound completely different, would be possible to do something like this without some creativity. :)
Could you suggest type/font sizes for someone starting out? I'm guessing #24, #18 for cover and spine, but for smaller type, for say inside cover, I'm at a loss.
I think your on the right track; 24, 18, 12, and 8 should be good.
Ok thanks
Hello, thanks for your video. What kind of glue do you use?
PVA glue :)
In which cases, do you recommend sewing the sheet blocks?
If they can be sewn, then sew them up! :)
What craft paper do you recommend? Can I use any cardstock for the spine? I saw the Amazon list but it looked like there’s two listed and they are pricey. Can I use Walmart craft paper for that step?
Try it out, see how it works! Craft Tex for the Spine, Bookcloth for an Oxford Hollow. Join our Patreon if you'd like to learn more :) Linked in the Description.
Im a Granny and followed along and think I could do that. Plus I know not to use sellotape!
You can do it! :)
Wow..well,sir..first, let me thank you for greatly increasing my understanding of this process..
However..while your vocal explanation was excellent,having
Someone else shoot what your hands are doing would make the difference between"good video" and "great video"..!
That would be wonderful if someone would hang out with me and do this, but for the time being this is the best I can do :)
I wonder, if you would have made an oxford hollow and would have pasted it down at the corners, would it not have opened properly?
would have opened improperly if I had done that with this particular bible
My apologies if you’ve already answered this question, but do you accept Bible repair jobs? Your work appears to be great, and I’d rather not have my first attempt at a repair be the very Bible I need repaired.
I wish I'd seen this before I "Repaired" my pitt. 😬
Where can I get rebinding training? I'm a retired Toolmaker by trade. This looks doable for me. Can you steer me in the right direction.?
I have made many videos on how to rebind a bible :)
All of my pages in the front of my bible to genesis 42 are totally separated from the book do you have a video to show how to put the pages back when binding? Thank you.

Hi. I have a Bible whose spine cover has separated from the front cover, but it's still attached to the back cover. You know what I mean? Any ideas on how to fix?
Isn't that how the one in this video was?
It's different. Mine has the front cover still attached to the book block.
Im not getting the picture of what the break is :/
@@frostLeather I wonder if there's an easy way to send you a picture of it?
I’m not even going to attempt this. Need to find someone to do it for me.
I just got my grandpa old bible thats 50+ years old
Where can I get the craft paper???
Hobby Lobby :)
can i send you my moms bible ? price please its so brittle 1948 pleather. or maby a cover that can replace it..yes i did not want to dyi it.thank you

Trying to find that small glue bottle. Anybody have that Amazon link?
Here it is!

With _E V E R Y_ rebinding video I've seen, from a *HOST* of different companies, NONE of them show rebinding of a bible that has dog-eared pages, where the pages have curled up. Each video shows what appears to be basically bibles in "LIKE NEW" condition.
.........can...........can I give my Bible any kind of anesthesia? That is a complete book surgery.
Jesus loves you! He died on the cross for you. To anyone who needs this, please don’t take chances with your soul - Romans 10:9 KJV
I think you are instructing everyone the HARD way to fix a "simple fix"..
that is a clean break IMO... the text block of the bible is still held together... no pages falling out..
that bible can be fixed in 15 minutes or less.. using a small tube of "liquid nail".. a pair of vice grips.. and a clean towel or rag..
first of all open up the bible like you have it.. then run a squirt of "liquid nail".. along the binding...close the bible back up tightly.. making sure that the cover and binding are fit snugly.. NO wiggle room.. use the vice grips and towel or rag.. around the gilded edge side of the bible and clamp it tight to assure.. that the fit stays snug the cover right up against the binding with NO air pockets.... the towel.. is to make sure the vice grips do not leave a vice grip mark on the soft leather cover... since that will have to be clamped TIGHT.. VERY TIGHT.. so there is no slippage..
allow to sit.. about 20-24 hours... remove the grips and towel,.. that little bit of "give" you spoke about.. will eventually work it's way back in with moderate use..
I have fixed the bindings on dozens of bibles this way.. and they all look brand new...
let's not make this job complicated for amateurs...
the title is called "The Right Way", not the "Easy Way".
@@frostLeather
I understand that but ....can't the easy way ALSO be the right way?..
I just got another USED bible just today.. and the leather on 2 of the corners was unraveling... and where the maps were attached in the back of the bible... they were pulling away from the cover...the spine was visible...
this was an NASB single column Lockman Foundation.. genuine leather from 2008...
Not quite the same quality as "the Judge".. from 2002... but it is still a fairly nice bible...
I was able to tuck the unraveled corners... under the inside binding and held them in place using some of that "liquid nail".. which I mentioned... first...
it looks brand new... and I did not have to use a needle and thread to re-stitch.. nor did I need to pull the binding completely away from the cover just to work on a couple of corners..
as for the map area... I placed a needle point nozzle onto the tube of "liquid nail".. and carefully pulled the binding a little out.. so I could squirt.. a narrow line of this from the top to the bottom.. of the bible.. NOT over doing it...
I then squeezed the bible back into place...making sure the binding and cover were snug together... and let everything harden.
I then added 2 more bible ribbons..
I would hold this bible up against anything.. You have fixed.. and let you try to find fault with it...
Like I said.. a bible fix does Not have to be done the hard way.
I don't think a bible has to be completely torn down.. and re-done.. to have the bible tight and new looking again....
and every bible I have patched. .looks like it did when it came from the factory...
I have a little OCD... I get bothered even if the gilding on the pages is a little off...
this causes me to be very picky about what the end product looks like..
Make a video on your process, maybe others will appreciate it.
@@Jeremiah-Payne
That is my biggest goal one day... is to make helpful videos... and to share some insights...
at this time... I do not have the equipment.. in order to do the videos ..I also have Not figured out how to upload videos from my.... I Phone to the internet. .I suppose I could make some videos on my phone and upload them to people in a text message to their phones.. though...
I may ask a buddy of mine who Has uploaded videos to the internet..to help me get that started..,
was there anything in particular you wished to see.. how to do?..or had questions on?..
One thing you should remember... in many cases a bible.. that has a bonded leather cover...sometimes cannot be fixed properly without replacing it... be cause the binding either tears or starts falling apart any way,..
about any bible I have endeavored to spend time on to fix.. has had a cover on it that was created to last more than a lifetime originally...
most of my bonded leather covered bibles.. I have shelved and am only using Leather covered ones now..
I have NOT done a full re-bind.. nor do I think I would ever try something that extensive. .since that involves a lot of material ....... .and cutting and measurements...
but.. I can do the light fixes.. such as adding ribbons.. and fixing covers .and bindings.. pages...loose headers...
Ummm. LET'S JUST SAY if this happens to your Bible, IT'S TIME TO BUY A NEW BIBLE!!!!!
To some of us our bibles mean alot to us, like mines I purchase it when I was 14 and with my hard earn money 😊 I'm about to turn 31🎉🙏🏼
I think I can repair my bible; but the thingy with the boards (like a vise grip) might prevent me from doing this. Thank you for your video and may God richly bless you and your family.
GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES
Mark 16:15
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples the night before He went to the cross. Mark 14:22-25. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood), the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Jesus Christ loves us! We believe this! John 3:16-17. We believe Him and who He is! He is our Savior! GOD THE SON! ONLY HE SAVES.
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US AND LIVES AGAIN!
1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay for all our sins. 1 John 2:1-2.
He died on our behalf! We believe in Him and who He is, trusting the shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins, and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day for our eternal life! John 20:24-31. HE LIVES EVERMORE!
We can live forever through Him. God forgives our sins through Him otherwise our sins will prevent us from living in Glory with Him and our family in the faith the Bible describes. We study to show ourselves approved in wisdom and further truths about Him! We are in a family! God's family. CHRIST'S BRIDE! We got to know Jesus Christ better and better!
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more than, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
HE LIVES! JESUS LIVES!
Glad to be of help!
Have you read the last holy book? It is called the Qur’an that it is the only and certain way of salvation from hell.
I have not, I don't read from False Prophets.
why don't you care about me Mr. RUclips guy? 💔
I don't know what this means? lol
Camera angle sux. You might as well have had an audio-only upload here. Do better, man. Do better.
Show me how it’s done with a bible repair & camera angle video
It's not on me to teach you how, that's on you. You already knew it was bad. You said yourself about how bad the camera angle was and that you didn't care.
