I'm really looking forward to this - I shall be following along with cheap as chips 80 gsm copier paper and some packing from Aldi banana boxes (don't judge me!) - top quality video, as ever.
I often start with copier paper. When I used to work in an office I used to grab huge piles of paper out of the recycling. Then you can practice different and new sewing techniques and threw it back in recycling when done, and keep the best one as a sample. Doesn't matter what's on the paper. Have fun! DAS
I enjoy your projects. Such good detail and you don't seem to get in a hurry and rush through explanations. Your videography is very good, clear and in focus and just the right distance for overview and closeups. Thank you for sharing your skill.
Amazing! I'm so glad that your content includes such a variety of historical models and explanations for deviations. From my experience, the arts education space is often missing this academic approach.
Really interesting project Darryn! I anticipate thousands of these being made internationally after part 3 of your tutorials, what with the penchant for the Medieval. Happy New Year and hope those floods are keeping well away from your beautiful stream!
Another great project Darryn and really looking forward to the rest of the videos. I've just moved forward my purchase of a copy of 'The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding' by John Szirmai after watching the latest video from Four Keys Book Arts. When two of the binders I follow both start projects I like mentioning his book then I figure it needs to be brought to the top of my list 😉 I agree with the other comments about the pace of your videos - fast enough to get a lot in there but not so fast that things get lost.
Szirmai is not easy reading:) I should learn how to say his name properly too. You'd be surprised how much editing is in my videos to try and get that balance. I try and imagine I'm a subscriber to my channel. DAS
I think the peak of the trend was 600 years ago:) In bookbinding I think it is good to not think of there being a correct way to do something. There is so much natural variation - there was especially during the medieval period when every single book was different - that most ways of doing something can be valid. I think it is best to make note of the few things that might be the wrong way of doing something. For instance, a square back case binding with no width in the hinge which means the book can't open without something tearing. I see this mistake all the time. Just an idea to help keep and open mind to different ways of doing things. Happy binding! DAS
Please do continue with medieval bindings. Very interested. After finishing this book, can you do one with wood boards and double cords, with the cords attached to the boards?
Sorry, not my area. I'm very interested in Japanese bookbinding but other than reading about it I have no experience, tools or materials to actually do it.
@DASBookbinding, I note that you've used Claire Fontaine's clairbook paper in a few of your projects. I've had a search around Australian paper/book/art suppliers but haven't found a stockist. Are we still having international stocking issues? I love Claire Fontaine's paper for my fountain pens, and outside of disassembling their notebooks, I'm not sure how I can get hold of their papers.
Yes. It will have to wait until next year. I have been doing prototypes. It is difficult to understand historical examples just from photos. It would be much nicer if I could access the originals. But I don't see any trips to northern Europe in my near future:)
I didn't see the detail if sewing the button on. Did you give it a shank (by winding the thread around between button and spine)? Or is the button flush with the spine? Thanks.
You spotted this! Yes, I totally stuffed up sewing on the button. In the Larsson SoE video he does make a shank on the button by winding some thread under it. Since his work is based on books held at Uppsala I assume this means this was done at the time. Certainly when studs were used instead of buttons the ones I've seen had shanks on them. I was worried about pulling the button off and thus just did it flush. But if your cover material is strong enough then yes add this feature. DAS
@@DASBookbinding I wonder if a 4-hole button would make a difference? I think I would still reinforce it at the back. Might using something with the grain running opposite to the cover grain be an advantage?
@@amandachapman4708 It was a 4 hole button, just used 2 holes in the cover. 3 hole buttons seemed to be the thing 600 years ago. Not easy to get now. Might make my own.

I'll do the same :)

Except for sewing on the button, which I messed up a bit. I'll do a better job of this on another video:)
Amazing! I'm so glad that your content includes such a variety of historical models and explanations for deviations. From my experience, the arts education space is often missing this academic approach.
We’ll never get sick of your projects!❤
I love seeing videos like this where older historical techniques are covered.
Love the pace of the videos. So many great projects for me to build myself with. I really appreciate all you do.
I could watch your vids for hours… oh hang on I already do. Love them
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you
Yes! Another great DAS Bookbinding mini-series. 😄👍

Thanks. Just north of us. Very close call. Happy New Year!

You're my go-to when I need bookbinding info so I decided it was time to step up and become a patreon. No regrets here. Thanks for these videos. :)
Thanks! A bonus video on this binding will be published on Patreon later today. DAS
This is good, high quality content. Love it!
Looking forward to the next installments.....
Oh I loved this. So excited to learn how to make this correctly…so on trend, thank you so much.

Thank you so much for making these videos. Very inspiring and I'm definitely going to try and do this mesylf.
Another beautifull design to learn. :(
Can't wait for the next installment. I realy like the designs of the "old" bindings.
Can’t wait to see the next vid!
I loved. great video as always ... Thanks for sharing ...
The design looks awesome :) , great content as always.
This is going to fun. Thanks!
Thank you.

I love your videos! I want to try bookbinding again.... Can you try some Asian bookbinding techniques?
Sorry, not my area. I'm very interested in Japanese bookbinding but other than reading about it I have no experience, tools or materials to actually do it.
@@DASBookbinding oh, that's ok... I hope you keep making awesome videos!
nice worck master

I think you've contacted me about this already.
Vai avançar com o projecto baseado em exemplares históricos?
Will you move forward with the project based on historical examples?
