very nice video i just watched im going to show it to my kids later in the afternoon

This is great! I love seeing people taking back old crafts, and that you are teaching classes of students this impressive skill, and deepening your appreciation for papermaking, is truly heartwarming.

I remain sincerely impressed by the work done by UI's Center for the Book. I learned about your institution from reading A Degree of Mastery, graduate Annie Trammel Wilcox's memoir of her experience in the program. Watching your Chancery Papermaking video was exciting, informative, and a true pleasure. Best wishes for success in improving the process!

I have been looking for a great video on European paper making - thank you!

Great job. I am currently studying a 'Introduction to Rare Book Librarianship' unit on my library degree and was recommended this video. Watching this footage has definitely helped with my understanding of the difficulty of making paper and the time it took.

This is a high level video

This process is so amazing, I would love to work making paper 😍 production processes like this from before 1800 are completely necessary to uphold and keep studying: how would we know how all of our machines build our world if we cannot duplicate their work ourselves?

Thank you for a lovely time.

Thanks for the video. Your investigation and experimentation it's awesome. Have excellent results. I´m a calligrapher from Quito, Ecuador.

love it! must be a lot of fun! enjoy it ;) well done

Yeah Avi! This looks great. I hope you're happy with it.

I really enjoyed my time at the UI production facility. It is interesting to see the improvements and trials that have come a long way since that time.

Very interesting to see. i liked it a lot.

Very interesting video, thanks for uploading it

Very interesting and fun at the same time .... 👍

Outstanding

Nice work.

Bastante ilustrativo.

to pa je poterpežljivost

What material would they have historically used for the screens on the mould and deckle. Silk, brass?

How can I find the film that documanted how to make the parchment? I am asking about the one narrator is talking about.

Where can one get the dry rack at 07:00

How is the paper being help up while its drying. I see there are slots in the wood, but whats actually holding them in place?

this video is proto ASMR

Question you say you use a 3% solution for you sizing.. Is that 3% by volume or by weight?

Well done there. I roughly timed the vatman and indeed there were about 4 sheets a minute being made at a somewhat relaxed rate. It is important to be able to maintain the rate over an extended period of time so going faster is not really an option for people who have not been at the work for years. I have begun training, not teaching, a small group to work with wood according to 18th century methods including the use of a spring pole lathe. I have done the work for 20+ years so I am in pretty good shape so far as skill and stamina. Here is a thought- maybe the reason you have not achieved the sort of results you are looking for is because you process the fiber with machines. Perhaps you need to go farther down the rabbit hole and process the fibers the same way they did in the past. Of course this was published 10 years ago so maybe you have worked that out by now.

Ta ta!

After watching dozens of videos on paper making, no one has told us what the chemicals that are added.

1500 sheets in a day, that's a pre dawn till dusk day.

what is lime? thak u!

Experimental Archeology is all fine and dandy, but now imagine the actual three man teams back in the day. Having to do this eight hours a day, every day, for the rest of your life. T.T Boy, Am I glad I was born in the late 20th century.

WTF? How do you try to reproduce the effects of historical production rates with a mechanical shredder/pulverizer? Lazy bastards.
