Whats the paper material for the cover?

@bocbinsgames6745 3 жыл бұрын

Some type of blue (these books are generally blue) card. I've used a pack of 230gsm card I found online. Try get the higher quality cards.

Good video but it doesn't show how to end the binding... So I'm stuck after the knot, I just have that little piece of thread from the beginning hanging out the side. Am I supposed to just cut it? Thank you

@happyhumoresque25 3 жыл бұрын

yes, cut it but not too close to the knot?

@porandojin5751 Жыл бұрын

Probably glue it.

Hello! Thank you for your work! Would this method also work with loose pages, not folded ones? I'm thinking about making a book a little bit larger than this one.

What is the purpose of the first two holes and the twisted paper going though them? I couldn’t quite understand their function. Are they removed later?

@bocbinsgames6745 3 жыл бұрын

Holding the book together whne you punch the 4 holes

this is also called Japanese style, so what is the difference?

Ancient Chinese book . not Japan 's

@@barbiebarbie1813 ok well i did the research anyway, seems Japan took the inspiration in the Edo period some 600 years later, but China may have utilised some ideas from India too. But the method of stabbing in 4 holes is recognised as Chinese.

@@barbiebarbie1813 I mean Indian Buddhist binding was influential, but using leaves instead of paper. In any case, I wondered why this method is more commonly called Japanese book binding when it is Chinese.

@@lotuseater7247 A lot of the shared culture between China and Japan (and the rest of east asia) is called Japanese not because it necessarily came from japan, but because it came from Japan to the west. After the US occupation of Japan after WWII there was a lot of cultural exchange and a lot of shared-culture things became known as Japanese exclusively, or primarily. They aren't so much called Chinese because at that time China was in civil war, and later became a geopolitical rival to the US led order (less cultural interchange), which meant that the Chinese origin of a lot of things are often overlooked / forgotten about in western society.
