  • How to quickly make a book stash.
    Making a hollow book (book safe, stash book) shouldn't be a long and laborious process, or need special tools. Get a hammer and a chisel and some wood glue and you can make one in about 5 minutes. Or can you?

    Excellent. This is the guy that sits back and watches people struggle at a task before saying "OK, gimme a fucking hammer".

    I like how this method retains the appearance of the page edges as it doesn’t seal them up at the visible edges of the book.

    Can't say I'm a huge fan of the tactic, but this is pretty ingenious. I would have never thought of this.

    A really good idea for doing it fast. I do wish I could hear your commentary over the music.

    Thanks! I have made a few Book Lamps & used a paper cutting blade in my jigsaw…still made the pages rise up. Been looking for a process that didn’t warp the pages….a chisel?!? Of course! Thanks!!!

      I bought (well Jeff sent me a free one) a bigger chisel last autumn thinking I could speed run a book carving. No faster at all. Now I’m thinking of a smaller chisel that cuts faster…

    Thank you! This is exactly what I was needing. I tried an oscillating saw and that just made a mess. Don't know why I didn't think of a chisel.

    A drill and scroll saw take about 10 minutes (depending on the book's thickness).
    You're welcome...
    Though, I will applaud you for using something other than a razor knife and taking forever and a day. Also like that you glue the inside.

    • @garrethbert

      Fair dues.
      If I had a scroll saw,
      Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
      All day long, I'd biddy biddy saw
      If I were a wealthy man
      I wouldn't have to work hard

      I find the saw blades always warp the pages & it doesn’t look clean (flat pages) when you look from the side.

    • @brevs8387
      @brevs8387 2 года назад +1

      @@toddmcombs It's possible your blades aren't tight enough or you're going too fast (possibly pushing the book too hard). It takes practice for sure, lots of factors.

    Well i dont have a big chisel to work with so im stuck just cutting away with my sharp craft knife. This is not something a woman of 74 years is capable of using. Not only that but it took some muscle to get this done.
