Great video. I just wish the music volume was a little lower. Was watching late at night and found myself turning the volume down due to the music, but then needing to turn it back up every time you speak. =/
For getting rid of the glue: sand eraser may work (go gently as it's quite abrasive) or an 'adhesive eraser' - google will hopefully find it, but it's a sort of beigey looking square, feels kind of plasticky rather than rubbery like a conventional eraser. Glue: if you need to give yourself more time before it tacks down - look at adding wheat paste to your PVA. Have a look at DAS Bookbinding, he's in Australia too so will be able to recommend where to buy (if you can't buy from him) or failing that I know his YT channel has a how-to make wheat paste video. He def has videos talking about the different kinds of bookbinding glue, the differences between them, and when to use what, when to use mixes etc. One thing i didn't see you mention anywhere was grain - are you paying any attention to that in the materials that you add (e.g. your end papers, book boards etc.)? If not, I'd recommend it - it would make your books last longer. :) but thanks - bookbinding is such an addictive craft, its nice to see someone else sharing their passion for it!
Such good tips!!! I use the correct grain where possible but since I’m often just binding for myself, I won’t throw it away or waste material just because of the grain direction 👍
@@abound_bindery fair enough - although its worth looking at what else you can make with the stuff. Have a look at JenOfEve - she has digital templates for making all kinds of things like boxes, drawers etc. and its mostly the same kind of stuff.
Really cool to see it slowly step by step and thank you for the measurements! I bound a few books in the past, but I always had the problem that one side of the endpapers lift up (or there is a whole between the first and second signature) if I open it because they seem to be too short :/ I used the standard measurements, added some back width for one book and subtracted for a second ... Still don't know why it happens. Has anyone an idea? ^^"
I enjoy watching you rebind books. I am a beginner at binding and still learning. This would have been a far better video without the annoying background racket (canned music).
That looks so good! I don’t think I would be able to read something that pretty, just stare and admire it

Leaving !! Can't stand this music.
Nobody cares what you think of the music.
