24:00 Same goes for those of us living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Most of the time I learn something, it disappears into the Fibro-Fog and is a lot easier to recall with infographics.

Beautiful! I've seen a vid where they use glue with the reactive foil (no heat/laminating machine, just the "dry" glue, like the zig 2way that they let dry first).
I've been struggling to figure out gold tooling for ages! This was really helpful! I love the way you talk through the process in detail, you really know your stuff!
I’m more a visual learner too. I can identify so much with you about huge text. Worst than that is lectures. My mind gets off on its own and I don’t comprehend what was said, I don’t learn well at all from audio by itself. Best is hands-on. That’s why I like making stuff.🦌💌🙏📚
Omg Nik, I feel your pain I’m 47 with ADHD it sucks! But it makes us have a sense of humour especially when it comes to laughing at ourselves. You are fantastic to listen to, you are so informative and funny at the same time. Keep up the videos. I made my daughter listen to you by saying this lady is like me listen. Haha. She definitely agreed with me lol. I’m Jaime from a Melbourne. Ps my middle name is Nicole. Have a great day!
Love this and wanna try!! Fortunately I don’t have ADHD but often forget how to and must revert to the instructions and I’m also a very visual person so always appreciate those type of instructions. Sending love and prayers your way that all goes well with your upcoming appts. 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this process. It's so amazing. Hoping everything will be ok for you. Will say a prayer for good results on your doctor's appointments. 💗💗
I have been down that road and I am still traveling it. It is always angst filled time when I have a cardiologist appt. I relax between them and do what I need to after them. Good luck on your appointments and all will be well.
Rock left and right, then down, and finish by rocking toward the top. People tend to hold things below eye level and that makes the foil show better when looked at from above.
Nik your Amazing Thank you!! I love your explanation of ADD totally spot on!! I think it helps us be more creative or so my wise & creative daughter tells me😁
I have looked into the foil quill stuff. The have different nibs for the plug in pens, but they also have a setup to use with most electronic diecutting machines. You have to purchase the correct set for your machine, but a lot of the electronic die cutters can handle leather. That may be a way way for some of us papercrafters to do this. I'm considering it for my scan n cut.
Your description of your ADHD...I'm her. I could feel ya all the way.😏 If I am doing or reading something I need to focus on, I have to have music, talk radio, television...SOMETHING, going in the background to distract my rambling brain or else I can not focus. Even cooking dinner can take twice as long because I'm 'spinning in circles', so to speak.🙄 But, I can also analyze, hyper focus & catch detail that others miss...SUPER POWER!✊ (& curse. Lol!) Thanks for the tips. I want to try this now! Tyfs.💖
Love the new wee size! I'm watching you because we exchanged our water for the just turned on power! Apparently I can't have both so I've been collecting snow in big plastic tubs to melt down for the toilet and washing dishes (I boiled first). Probably just shared too much right there but hoping I get the water back soon, the power stays on, and insurance doesn't run out of money before we get our claim processed....lol
Nik, this video was very helpful, though maybe unintended reason: ADHD. I had no clue blocks of texts are difficult for y'all, myself notorious for writing a tome, though now know with my friend keep it brief. Cheers, Adriel
Hi Nik, yes I love those small book sizes too, would love to buy one from you if I could. By the way, do you want your snow back, LOL. We here in Arkansas not too fond of it. Your videos always cheer me up. I pray that you get better real soon. Take care young lady and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I printed and bound your little Wind in the Willows and the bookbinding book... but I bound them in paper. I need to take another go at both of them, knowing what I know now. I don't mind 'forever,' and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks for all you've taught me (and all the great stuff in Etsy!).
Hey, Nik. I'm somebody with joint issues too. Have you ever done a tool review video? I'd like to see some reviews of stuff that could be helpful for crafters with hand problems, and you're somebody who's opinions would be helpful.
Love watching you, you are clever, witty, sensible and out there wild! I've never tried to tool a book cover but Ive seen companies who make sales signs using heat foils and covers for sample booklets. In my craft life ive used foil in two ways. It sticks to dry PVA well some do! You can rub some on! They do not need heat. The other thing to use is used foil! theres always a bit left and the different colours look amazing. Lay different ones on top of each other, they stick on the naked bits/ I know you're into book binding but take look at Angie Hughes in Ledbury, UK shes brilliant in a different way! foils to die for!
Thank you so much for sharing, I truly enjoyed this video. I despise my handwriting lol. I am like you, I can bake a cake 50 times, yet I still have to read the directions🤔 it tends to get annoying. I have to do the same thing daily in order to remember it. However if I skip a few days or months, forget it. I'm reading the instructions all over again. Lol my Fiance thinks I'm bonkers, but I'm really not I'm totally sane haha. Sending prayers your way, here's to good health. Have a great day. 😀
This was so helpful! That tool looks like a lot of fun and my brother has a cricket so I am going to comender that try it out too. Much more affordable than buying brass booktype!
Perfect timing for a leather project I'm working on! And speaking of leather, Nik have you done a tutorial on how to make a leather book cover? I'm sure much of the process is the same for a normal cover with book cloth or fabric, but any tips for working with leather since it's thicker?
Oh love these tips! Definitely gonna try my hand at gold foil! I was wondering where exactly you show us how you made the black bookbinding book (at 2:50) because i can't seem to find it on your channel or your teachable and i would LOVE to learn how to print and bind something like that. Thank you!
Have you covered a mass market book? I'd be interested in seeing you use a commercial bound and in goodish condition...if it interests you. 😁 I have this grand goal of recovering all the books I own with the same ish leather.
Isn’t ADD fun? Lol. I was diagnosed when I was 6 and man, growing up with my mom not understanding how my brain worked was a tough ride. She eventually figured it out but those years before....whooo weee. But, you’re right we have other super powers and that’s a good thing. This is where “the more you know” graphic would appear on the tv screen 😛
I am currently printing out my book in Letter-Half signatures, it is going to be 640 pages LOL gonna take a while to sew them all up! going to be a hefty little book!
Hi Nik! Have you tried steel stamping tools? They have really beautiful motives on Ali but they are meant for stamping metal and I am not sure if they will work with heat. By the way: I tried using the embossing tape from my bookbinders workshop with the quill and it works!
You may find this comment boring but I'll write it anyway. People are often frustrated with me because I don't make eye contact when I am speaking or when someone is speaking to me. The problem is this. When I speak I "visualize" what I am saying and I see the picture in my head so I am looking "inside" and describing what I am seeing there. Conversely, when someone is speaking to me, I am building an image in my mind of what is being said so I am again looking "inside" at the image as it is being constructed. I try to explain it to people who comment on the "far away" look in my eyes. I am a senior citizen and exhausted with trying to explain it to people so I just shrug it off and go my way. I am happy with the way my brain works because I am able to understand things that I would not otherwise comprehend because the pictures tell me the stories and help me to tell stories.
I don't like making eye contact either, and I am also a visual person. But another reason is because it is very distracting to me. I cant' think of what I want to say next if I am looking at them because I get distracted by their body language, or sometimes if I try to look them in the eye, eyes being the window to the soul, I feel like I am being "sucked in" to them and I don't always want that to happen. My voice trails off and I lose where I was and forget what I was saying. And likewise, if someone else is talking and looking me in the eye, I am afraid they are peering into my soul, and again that is not always what I want. I have to know someone really well, trust them with my life, and not be having a fight with them to look them in the eye. I've also heard this "eye contact" issue can be a symptom of being on the Autism spectrum. So I'm exploring that somewhat.
@@recoveringsoul755 studies have shown that when given a choice between looking at someone when speaking and making good word choices for conversation, the brain will force a break in eye contact in order to concentrate better. A lot of studies show that lack of eye contact is also correlated to higher intelligence so take heart. I must be near genius since I am also left-handed. (Ignore that slight drool in the corner of my mouth).
"Sometimes, your first one is the best one" One of the things I noticed in the past 5 years of extended photo shoots at wildlife places, or trying to capture a bug, bird, or creature, is that about 80% of the time, that first shot is the best shot. I shoot, reshoot, used to bracket shots---but over and over, I found that I didn't need or use those later shots. Hmmm.
that's a great question, i'm planning on using pleather/fake leather to re-bind a book and i'm thinking about doing some foil tooling but i don't know if I can or not. My plan for the pleather was using upholstery fabric because it's more flexible and has fabric on the back so I thought it would glue better to my bookboards.
Can you use the pen to "shade" in solid areas? Will the final product be indented with foil pen? My end goal is to do this on a hardcover book, but I want some areas to be wider than just the thin penline. If I use this pen to shade, will I see streaks where the pen ran?
Hi there! Thanks for this! When you are using your tools to press down you stated ‘even pressures but are you pressing down light medium or hard pressure........
Thank you, I want to repair a cheap leatherbound book from Canterbury Collection (Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales) that wore the golden letters and I have no idea how to do it, zero skills and knowledge on book binding. My hand sweat removed some letters and everytime I look at it I feel sad. I though there was a magical solution like a paint, a magical pen or something but I guess it have to do with foils and more complicated things, oh dear :(
@@NiktheBooksmith hey Nik! I tried looking on your Amazon list for the hot stamping tools (like the flower one on the hot plate, initials, etc.) But couldn't find them. Would you please help me locate when you have the time? Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Do you have any suggestions for finding websites that have quality pdf’s for printing books? Without getting in trouble for copyright infringement of course.

24:00 Same goes for those of us living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Most of the time I learn something, it disappears into the Fibro-Fog and is a lot easier to recall with infographics.
In the old days, I had rapid reading and visualizing skills but they ran away into the fog, never to return.
Hope you feel better soon. I have cardiologists in my future due to the RA and the decades of meds for said RA.

Many years later, I’m still wanting an...”I’m not your mom.” Nik the Booksmith 👚 shirt‼️ You always amazed me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
She has a transfer on her Etsy you can print out and make one!!! It’s on my todo list.

Hello Deerheart. How are you doing?
I realize I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Rylan Carl Try flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Zayd Kohen yup, been using flixzone for months myself :D

Amazing what one can update books or other things with this technology. Thank you Nik for showing us how to do it.
Great video. I appreciate what you said about ADHD. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Rock left and right, then down, and finish by rocking toward the top. People tend to hold things below eye level and that makes the foil show better when looked at from above.
Tip for everyone: foil need a hotter tool than real gold. The tool temperature for gold is barely hot.
Beautiful books & foil tooling!
Very interesting. I have a few sheets of real gold left over from another project, so I've been trying to learn gilding...
Nik your Amazing Thank you!! I love your explanation of ADD totally spot on!! I think it helps us be more creative or so my wise & creative daughter tells me😁

How does the hot foil stamping hold up. Like to do a patch for a hat. Does water affect it? What about spraying waterproof ... Good or bad idea.
What are the tooling letters called and where would I find them ?I see the foil freehand, I’m talking about the stampers

Just fun and over my head! Teehee. It is good.

Thanks for the video! Do you have any suggestions for finding websites that have quality pdf’s for printing books? Without getting in trouble for copyright infringement of course.

How did you heat up the stamp?
Are you heating the stamp tools too? I know you are also demoing the heat wand, but it wasn’t clear to me if you were heating the stamping tools too. 😊 Great video.
Exactly want i need! thx
Where do you get the leather?
Can you do a quick tutorial on how to make like a mini diploma souvenir with paper foil

What do you mean, "It's not perfect." ???? LOOKS PERFECT TO ME,, HON' !!!! Well Done!!!
I came here for leather and foil. I left here with validation. Wait, why was I here?
Hi! How did you heat the stamp to that temperature?
On a hot plate- round minute 7 there is a photo
How did you heat up the leather tools to that temperature? Or did I miss that part?
Yes, you seemed to have...she has a table-top hot plate to heat her tools...6:56 - --

Where do you get the heat pen from please?

Just heard you said they're heated to 240-250...how do you heat them?
