Thank you! I spontsneously decided to take up bookbinding like 24 hours ago and just now realized the paper I have for the cover isn't long enough to stretch across the whole thing with a margin for folding over 😅 rookie mistake. But I love the look of a separate spine design anyway!
Han pasado meses desde que elegí este tutorial para hacer mi primera encuadernación. Después de mucho buscar vuelvo a verlo y compruebo que es de los mejores. Muy claro y realización muy limpia. Gracias por compartir.
Interesting! I never thought to prebind the text block to the cover and THEN putting in the inner flaps and gluing it on. I usually have them as part of the text block when I'm gluing it in. I struggle with how well things line up, I'll give this a try on my next book!
I completely fudged my end pages/inner flaps doing a dollar store practice version and this just saved me so much time and energy. Never thought about just gluing it in after either
Hi Crystal, I was hoping you could answer what type of material is used for the spine (book cloth, binding tape?) and what type of material is used to cover the cardboard on the book (also book cloth?). Also, can paper be used? If so, what weight? Sorry for the questions, new to this but wasn't sure based on the video the best way to go. Thanks in advance!
The gauze used on the spine is called Callico I think, pages are formed into signatures of around 8-10 folded pieces of paper, and the glue can be anything: I just use PVA to keep the production cost down
This is such a lovely video and you make this binding look so easy! I've been experimenting with quarter cloth binding, myself, and the trickiest part for me has been to figure out the measurements of the individual pieces of cloth and how far apart my bookboard pieces should be. Those metal pieces you have seem really useful for that. Do you use the same standard sizing for every book? If so, do you have suggestions for how to go about doing those measurements? Thank you for this lovely and helpful video!
+chibi1723 Hey chibi, I agree about the cloth measurements! To figure out my cloth size, this is what I do: 1) decide how far I want the cloth to show on the front cover, let's say 1 inch. (total: 1") 2) multiply this by 2, since we have two covers. (total: 2") 3) factor in spine size, say .5" (total 2.5") 4) factor in hinges space .5" (grand total size: 3") The tools I'm using are square metal rods that you can find at most hardware stores. For my hinge, I use 1/4" bars, and for my trimming I use the 1/2" bar. Sticking with the same size books saves a lot of time, I highly recommend it!
+Crystal Shaulis Thank you so much! That was really, really helpful and much less confusing than most of the measurement instructions I've tried following. And since I always use the same size paper for my case bindings, I think I may invest in a couple of those metal rods -- I cut a 1/4" piece of bookboard to use for the hinges on the most recent one I did, and it helped speed up the process quite a bit! Of all the case binding videos I've watched, I have to say that yours was the most helpful to me and got me the best results. Thank you so much for sharing it and for the advice! ^_^
And another thing! The gluing technique is great, but what on earth type of glue do you like, and why? Am I just supposed to test my luck with Elmer's?
lolz im in michigan too. wow small world. thinking of either binding a dnd book or just using a hole puncher and a 3 ring. idk binding would be better but doing reference books would take alot longer wouldnt it?
Hi Diana! No glue is needed on the spine, just on your endpages. This keeps the spine and book flexible, so when the book is open the spine of the textblock will 'float' above the spine of the case. A side note: In this video I glued down the mull first, then the endpage - I no longer do this. Instead, I glue the endpage and mull down at the same time. So much easier!
It is wax paper - I've since changed how I do this part. Now, I don't use wax paper. Instead, I glue the mull and endpage in all at once. I'll make a new video showing this method (so much easier!)
Hi there, thanks for this video. Just a quick question about the width of the spine, is it the same as the thickness of the signatures or do you add twice the thickness of the cardboard too ? Thanks :-)
Thanks for going so slow that we can see exactly what you're doing, it's like you know we came here to learn from a tutorial video! I too often speed up things as quickly as I can when teaching someone.
Do you have a list of the materials you use? I'm new to this but I'm trying to make a book for my daughter, something that will last a long time like an hierloom. I am printing the pages from a Word document...will this method still holdup for such large sheets?
You guys do know you can slowdown playback time right? I see a lit of people say these kind of b Videos are to fast but I just slow them down mute and play music on another tab
Yep, I came here to learn how to make this and to see what material was used.. Instead, I just watched somebody make it. Guess it's time to fine a new video.
Robert The metal bars are "square key stock (zinc plated). The ones I found were manufactured by Stanley, a tool manufacturer. They can be found on Amazon as well as hardware stores and country feed stores (where I found mine). HTH!
I learned while interning at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center. Hollander's in Ann Arbor Michigan is the bookbinder's mecca. Visiting is worth the drive, but if it's much too far you can shop their site (hollanders.com)
the cover boards will be 1/4" taller and 1/8" wider than your folded sheet of papers. The spine is the same height as the cover board, but the width depends on the size of your text block. One of my first videos details how to get an exact spine measurement.
This is the 2nd wordless tutorial I've watched--and I have to say, it's horrible not having verbal instruction / clarification of certain details. But even worse, it seems this video is determined to to allow us to absorb the method because _it's too fast_

The endpapers were not positioned accurately against the cover boards. I guess it's not as easy as you make it look. Perhaps in the next video you could show us to prevent that problem.

If meticulous was a person....it is definitely you my dear. I love how detailed you are. Great job!
You used the mull as a guide for gluing the text block to the cover in perfect alignment. Awesome. Thank you.

Skilled work, good luck.
great! But: How many pages do u gather each time? what glue? What gaze? Thanks for the video!

How much space do you leave between the spine and the cover cardboards?
Best book binding tutorial I have ever seen
You are thoughtful and great and I like your priorities..

This is so incredibly awesome!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I cannot wait to try this!!!!
This video is perfect. Very well done, The Visual explanation was all I needed. Thank You.
Ha encuadernado el libro de una manera muy duradera y hermosa.
And another thing! The gluing technique is great, but what on earth type of glue do you like, and why? Am I just supposed to test my luck with Elmer's?
Where do I find that Indian print with those flowers beautiful
Nice! But you went a little bit too fast and I couldn’t see what you were doing! But thanks anyway!
Great cover

Beautiful, what a precision. Very Informative.
superb yaar
Please tell the used materials for books binding
beautiful book.
Hi, this is a very helpful video! I was just wondering if you put glue on the spine. The video is a little fast so I could not tell. Thanks!

what is the thin paper that is put between the mull and the text block and is removed before attatching the end page?
It is wax paper - I've since changed how I do this part. Now, I don't use wax paper. Instead, I glue the mull and endpage in all at once. I'll make a new video showing this method (so much easier!)

You could slow it down in the playback

What kind of glue did you use on the spine?
Great vid, where can I find the metal spacers that you used?
They can be found at most hardware stores :)
Crystal Shaulis what are they called? I've been searching for some without knowing their name.
Does anyone have any problems with the cloth stretching on the corner and turning white? Not sure if I've over stretched it.
Good job!
Hello, can I ask for the materials you used?
Very good 👍
where did you get the metal rods you were using as spacers?
Buenísimo te quedó
What is the metal tool that you are using for the spacing?
from where i can get hardcover of a 4 size in muzaffarpur bihar please help me in this
Can you tell me where you got your metal rods from have looked on hollanders.com, but cannot find them? Thanks
I picked these up at my local hardware store - the ones used in the video are 1/2" and 1/4". I'm sure Lowe's or Home Depot would have them as well.
thank you I live in England so just needed the size really thanks again I will try and find somewhere here.

this is so good

Where did you learn this process and where do you get your materials?

Thanks a lot🙏🏽
what measurements did you use for the board?
the cover boards will be 1/4" taller and 1/8" wider than your folded sheet of papers. The spine is the same height as the cover board, but the width depends on the size of your text block. One of my first videos details how to get an exact spine measurement.

You can slow down the speed by simply clicking on the little gear icon on the video...
