Thank you so much for this explanation! I was struggling to do this step (had failed the first time and was anxious getting it wrong again!), and you were the one who finally got me to do it properly
Thank you for this! I recently had a go at creating a cover and casing in for the first time and while I’m still very proud of my final product I was disappointed with how I cased in. I’m glad RUclips recommended me this guide as I’m sure it will help me get a better result next time.
I had been wanting to up the quality of my handmade books...and then I found your video. My books are so much more professional looking now. Thank you SO much for this game-changing video.
I was just trying to find a casing in video for a book about the size of the one I'm making (eg. no shoulders) and I found this amazingly helpful video! This is even more useful than I'd hoped. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'd been having issues with this part of bookbinding, and this is the first video that actually helped me fix my problem :)
This is way easier to follow than just about any other video I've seen. Can you make a video showing how you would do this with a soft leather cover - like on a bible for example?
Thanks for the kind words, BaoYili! I made a video awhile ago about using a textblock with a soft cover - that one might work for you. You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/1UHBhptTLls/видео.html And there's another one using faux leather, following a similar process, here: ruclips.net/video/csXC7uCndSM/видео.html I hope they help!
I just found your account and omg you are amazing in how well you explain everything. I was wondering, am I overlooking it and you did this already or have you a video on how to "rebind"/overbind "ugly" books with a prettier/tactile-y more satisfying cloth binding?
Hi I’m new to book binding and I’m interested in using the text block technique! I was wondering if you had to sew the block into the spine of your cover like other techniques?
You're trying to create a temporary moisture barrier between your textblock and the freshly-glued covers, so anything that will act in that regard will work. For example, you could use plastic wrap instead of waxed paper. If you use plastic wrap be sure you pull it taut otherwise you risk leaving wrinkle marks on the textblock, the endpaper, or both.
Just what I was looking for. Had the notion I wanted to do this but, didn't have the step by steps on how to go about it. Thank You for posting.

This is so helpful and one of my favourite channels for bookbinding tips. I struggle with getting the end papers on straight and not wonky
Your videos make it all so much easier
Life saver! Watching this in quarantine. 😻
These videos are so helpful, thank you so much!!

Perfect tutorial. You have a new subscriber ❤
Awesome.

Sorry, no video for that. I just start from scratch, I don't rebind old books.
yes! thank you, thank you, thank you!!
You're amazing.
My biggest issue is ensuring that my spine board is the correct width. Help!
Hi I’m new to book binding and I’m interested in using the text block technique! I was wondering if you had to sew the block into the spine of your cover like other techniques?
No, a cased-in book is not sewn to the spine of the cover.
@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks do you glue the spine in anyway?
@@noodle_6718 No. The endpapers are what is holding the book in place. Did you watch the whole video - it's all explained there. :)
Can we use something else instead of wax paper?

@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks thanks
What is that fine, delicate cloth on the text block called?
It's called mull, or Super. Here's a link to some on amazon:
