This is the way I was trained when I was an apprentice almost 40 years ago but we did not use PVA glue it was rabbit glue and hoof glue, I still have the blank books I made as well as some of the paperback books I converted to hardbacks as class projects. I was only one of the two females in a class of 40 boys back in the day, not many young ladies bake then had ever considered bookbinding as a career choice. It is something I am for ever grateful to have been able to of learned and a boss who thought I had the potential to excel at, because without him sponsoring me I would never of been able to of study bookbinding.

Really, other than the plough there’s ways to work around most all bookbinding equipment. . Don’t have a press? Use a pile of weights. Don’t have a sewing frame or cradle? use a chair back or buy an old picture frame. Planing the page edges is more problematic, and a book plough really does do the best job, but failing that, a vice and some sandpaper can do a reasonable job. As for rounding a spine, how else would you do it, other than “gently” hitting it with a mallet/hammer?

@@PravMir79 Не берите в голову. Возможно это мой бзик, но рельефные бинты без шнуров, для меня лично попахивает цыганщиной типа "дорого-богато". Это что-то сродни мебели под старину, весь конструктив которой предполагает изготовление из натуральной древесины, которая на самом деле сделана из ДСП а под натуральное дерево только покрашена. Понятно что во времена давние, когда домашние библиотеки были полны старинными книгами, новые тогда книги переплетались подобным способом чтобы красиво смотрелись на полке вместе со старыми и стилистически от них не отличаться. Но в современных библиотеках книги практически всегда с современным видом корешка, и книга в подобном исполнении (особенно учитывая что это по всей видимости будущий дневник), скорее всего останется таковой в единственном экземпляре. Этому дневнику не нужно быть похожим на остальные книги библиотеки...

I wish I knew how to do that sort of work or at least could find someone in my area that could so I could get some books I love rebound. In particular, I have a original book from 1867 which could use rebinding. Who knows, maybe I will be able to get into doing book binding with leather since I already do leather work anyhow. Thank you for the video. I subscribed so I can see more of your work. You are so talented.
