What an incredible machine you've added to your bindery! I would love a detailed video of how you made the harry potter books, as well as how the new embosser works and how you got the plate manufactured! I love the debossed texture on books, but I bet the machine you have is slightly out of my price range, lol!

Thanks! I thought about doing a more in-depth segment about the process, but since (like you said) it's not really the kind of thing that most of my audience would ever be doing themselves, I figured extra detail wouldn't add much value to the video for them.

I'm now finishing rebinding my paperback Tolkien books and already working on the designs for rebinding Harry Potter next. While I'll be using book.cloth instead of leather ('cause I simply can't get access to it in my country and buying online would be extremely expensive and a gamble) and will have to stick to HTV and weaving (which I've grown to hate to be honest lol), I'm definitely going to take inspiration from your book covers (mostly the spine) if you don't mind 😅 And speaking of your book covers, do you ship internationally? And do you plan on having actual proper leather editions available?

@ingeniusdesigns 9 күн бұрын

Hi there! I'm flattered that you would take inspiration from my work. Yes, I do ship internationally! As for genuine leather, it's a work in progress. I initially thought that it would be simple to add it to my offerings, but the task has turned out more complicated than expected for multiple reasons. I'm still workshopping it though, so hopefully I'll crack the code soon!

Where do you get your gold foil?

@JarrydOh 23 күн бұрын

Will there be an option to get the first book with its original/correct title? The Philosophers Stone.

@ingeniusdesigns 23 күн бұрын

That's a great question. I went back and forth on this. In the end, since I live in the U.S., almost all of the books that I can get to rebind say "Sorcerer's Stone," and it felt wrong to not have the cover art match the page text. Importing books from overseas didn't make a lot of sense either, since it's expensive and the UK editions tend to have smaller dimensions, so I would need to manufacture an entirely new set of dies for the smaller cover art. In the end, if there's enough demand to justify it, I might consider doing an original/correct version, but it's unfortunately impractical for now.

@JarrydOh 23 күн бұрын

@@ingeniusdesigns that’s completely understandable and I thought that might be the case. As a non American I have never owned a Sorcerer’s Stone version of the book and it would just feel wrong to do so. I love your designs and hope they do really well for you.

@ingeniusdesigns 27 күн бұрын

The Mina Lima editions are awesome, right? Unfortunately one limitation of the stamping/embossing method for my cover art is that it only works on books of specific dimensions (normal hardcover editions of Harry Potter, in this case). The dimensions of the Mina Lima editions are a little different, which would require a redesign and some new dies. If there are enough interested people like you then I might go for it though!

That's the plan eventually. I wanted to do vegan leather first because I didn't want to exclude anyone who doesn't like genuine leather and because I can offer it at a lower price point than genuine leather. It took several months of experimentation to figure out how to get consistent high quality results with the vegan leather. I have started that experimentation for genuine leather as well but I don't want to release a product until I'm satisfied with its quality.

@ingeniusdesigns 16 күн бұрын

Thanks for asking about the colors. If people are interested enough in my bindings, that is something that I definitely want to be able to offer in the future. Thankfully changing the color of vegan leather should require a lot less experimentation to succeed than changing the leather itself would.

@ingeniusdesigns 23 күн бұрын

Excellent question. I love genuine leather, but some viewers have expressed that they would feel more comfortable with imitation leather. So I want to be respectful of that. Maybe in the future I will offer a genuine leather alternative too, but every time I use a new material there's a learning curve on how to apply the cover art most effectively. So it's vegan leather for now!

Great question (and one of the first I asked myself). I wasn't able to find a problem with it. Since it's not a new edition and I purchase every book I sell the publishers still get money for every book. It's kind of like doing custom work on a car. The car manufacturer still gets paid when you purchase it, even if you have shiny new rims put on later. I'm no lawyer, of course, but I'm trying to do my due diligence to not do anything wrong.
