    My grandmother was a master bookbinder and restorer. As a little boy in the 70’s and 80’s I would sit in her bindery, under instruction to not touch anything, and watch her work. It is some of the most happy memories of my childhood. She’s long since passed now, but I have some of her fine bindings as a memory of her. Thank you for making this video, it brought back many happy memories.

    If there were Emmys for RUclips videos, you'd win it in a walk away. This is sublime. The photography, lighting, background, and quiet is compellingly beautiful. At the same time it's valuable for instruction. Your silence narrows the focus down to a laser light of clarity. And no blathering chattiness is a great relief. Fantastic work!
