When I saw the thumbnail, I thought, “Oh, cool! Nerdforge uploaded a new video!” But then I clicked and saw your delightful face. You did a phenomenal job at rebinding those books into a gorgeous tome.

Watching you tear apart the books nearly killed me, but the final result really speaks for itself!

I imagine this book is kept on a podium and when someone needs an answer from it you need to use archival gloves and it’s a very theatrical moment with lights and heavenly choruses

As someone who try’s to play D&D with her friends I can’t wait to see this. This next part is nerding out over my caricature because I’ve ran out of people to do it to and my DM hasn’t figured out what she’s based off of. So her name is Gemstone Watcher and she’s a halfling fighter who escaped from the Watcher fighter group and now lives in a tree house and owns a flower shop.

I've been here since the MCYT bookbinding days, and my god do I ever love how much you've improved! Comparing this book to the Revive Book, or even Karl's Journal (especially the spine), _wow_ the improvement is amazing!

Oh my God!!! A girls who don't d&d plug?? I did a voice on that podcast! I'm the "krujiane" you'll meet later in the story! I absolutely love the plot Cory has made so far. Thanks for plugging them to your following!

Well good news, bad news... Good news, this is epic and well edited you've gained a subscriber! Bad news (maybe good?)... They announced like 2 weeks ago that they are printing a new set of all of these books as its been 10 years since they were originally conceived... So either "damn, I have to do this again?!" or "Yay, I get to do this again!" OR "thank god, now I can let them touch these with their grubby hands instead of MY PRECIOUS!"

All your projects are amazing!!

Great project and video documenting it, the final product looks amazing!

Its so incredible to see how your projects and you improve with more experience and more specialized materials

You are genuinely delightful and your enthusiasm is infective. Watching this video I accidentally stumbled onto really made my day. The project turned out beautiful

This was amazing to watch and the end result...I don't even think there are words to convey how impressive your final product is!!!! I'm so glad you recorded this!!!!

Everything is just amazing.

This video was weirdly good timing because my current DnD campaign is finishing this week (hopefully lol) and I finally get to start playing the character I've been excited about for over a year at this point! I love the book, it looks amazing, and I wish I had the means to do this myself! Edit: Oop-- forgot what I was going to say! This video gives me the crafting energy I need to make custom gift for my DM's birthday, so thanks for that :)

You did a beautiful job. Well done.

Jess, your book is amazing! I saw the Four Keys Book Arts version a while back and, though it’s beautiful, it’s well beyond my moderate skill level. Your version is so much more approachable and just as beautiful. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Looks great! Nice work.

I have been wanting to do something like this for so long and always felt like it was way out of my league to do. Thank you for making it seem accessible and doable!

That’s absolutely stunning

I love just watching you make things in your own way! I cant wait to watch more!

Stunning!!❤

Great video and amazing skills! And also i love Girls Who Don't D&D 🤩

That was amazing!! Well done!!!

Stunning result, great video!

Saw some of your videos so far, and as someone who has been playing the game for more than a bit now, cant say I wasn't kicking my feet when I saw the title and project. 😆 The Grimoire looks so good! loving the simplicity of the design, I don't see that too often fantasy crafts projects, and I think it came out beautifully! 10/10 Im also definitely tempted to check out the podcast.

This looks amazing!! I love the Girls who don’t DnD, they’re 1 of 2 podcasts I listen to:D Ngl I was so scared when you were taking the covers off incase they ripped 😭😂

I've been wanting to do this for a while now and I did watch that otehr channel you mention and it seemed like such a daunting task.... You cannot imagine how greatful I am after watching this. This is now within my skill to do. Thank you!

Wow! I saw the FourKeys version time ago, and I loved it as the D&D fan I am thanks to some friends who invited me and other people to try it and now it's my life 💛 Now I could see another version for this cool project, and not only that, but also having the opportunity to discover a beautiful artist nwn I'll check your future videos from now on uwu

A new creator for me to binge watch and religiously wait for new uploads from Oh my gosh I love that tea!! (In reference to the can that was holding brushes I think?)

I have watched this like, five times so far. I absolutely love it and while this is dnd, it just reminds me how fun making cosplay props will be

OMG YOU LISTEN TO THE PODCAST! It's reallly good! I haven't listened to it for a while but I found it, when it had around 5 episodes and I feel in love immediately. Also mesmerizing binding work

I really enjoyed this build! What a beautiful project ☺️

The final product looks so amazing! ❤

THAT IS GORGEOUS! WELL DONE!!!

I love Four Keys Book Arts! I'm so glad you followed his instructions!

I found you today for the first time, and like another commenter said I thought it was Nerdforge posting another video. Amazing video this binding is amazing!! Subscribed!!

The little laugh you sometimes do after you say things tickles my brain :) It's actually adorable. Your energy is contagious in the best way possible

Yes! I've been wanting to dissect and rebind all the core books together. This is dope.

Jess you're amazing. No other words.

Good to see a different take on this from four keys book arts!

Immediately subscribed. Fantastic video, amazing work!!

awesome job!

Awesome job!! ❤❤

Wow this turned out incredible! You did awesome. Makes me want to try!

I actually love that spray paint, I use it on anything gold, for my cosplays

My day instantly gets better whenever I see JessLess posted

Definitely a lot of work, but very, very beautiful results! 🥰🥰

A dm screen with the left-over covers would look so cool!

great video, loved watching you create

just for future reference, your mull should go over the whole spine onto your end papers. I also like to put a sheet of thin paper additionally beneath the mull.

Super sick. I feel like you should do one with the extra books (volos, xanathars and tashas) in a dark gothic theme next!

Loved the video, truly creative.

That book looks so cool 😎 and mind blowing

Dang the cover came out so cool. Totally can imagine some in game wizard having a spellbound like that

Im a huge bookworm since i was a child. I never really thought about book binding myself until a couple of months ago. One of my childhood books is very badly damaged. it's gone through over a decade of love. So it's pretty worn down. So i looked into getting a new one, but i can not find it anywhere and haven't been able to find a new copy for years. So ive finally decided to start looking into rebinding it myself! That's how i came across your video, and i am glad i have! My partner, myself, and his parents are also HUGE D&D fans. My partners mother has almost every book out there. It would be so cool to take some of her more loved ones and turn them into a beautiful piece. (Ill probably rebuy a copy bc her OCD probably wouldn't allow me to take the editions she currently has 😅 but still, this would be a cool christmas gift if i get better at book binding.) I also have to say i just love your personality! You seem like such a bubbly, kind-hearted person. I dont know. There's just a comfort about you that makes this video feel more like it's just too friends chilling, which i really like!

You did a fantastic job with the book! Looks awesome!

Wow! This is incredible! You, the book, the video! Incredible!!

thats so cool well done Jess.

I was just thinking that i wanted to recover my dnd books and look what KZfaq has recommended me! I love these.

You are so talented 😮😊

Black, red and gold is by far my favorite color pallete. I love how you implemented it on your book!

I saw the title of the video and thought "I need to watch this right now" and OMG ! I'm glad I did. It looks beautiful. This makes me want to do this with my own copies.

That project looks phenomenal and I want to give it a try myself now.

I want this so bad its amazing!!!

Oml I love it. I always admired the weapon and grimoire art of genshin impact, especially like the dodoco tales book.

I LOVE GIRLS WHO DONT DND!!!!! AMAZING PODCAST!! THE GIRLS ARE HILARIOUS AND COREY HAS AMAZING WRITING AND STORYTELLING SKILLS

This was an amazing idea and turned out really well. 2nd edition will always be the best d&d for me growing up. My friends did a 5 year campaign during secondary school, they where fun times.

spectacular work!

I just found your channel, and OMG -- NEW FAN! I don't play D&D, I need 4 clones to be able to do that, but I WANT to! LOL! Anyway, thanks for a highly entertaining video. I think your massive book turned out AWESOME! Much love from Northern Ontario, Canada

If you want a really good glass polish on your resin prints use zona paper, its a little annoying to go through each piece so many times but it looks so nice in the end. You did a really amazing job.

Jess PLEASE use it when you dm!!! And make it a in game tome of knowledge that the big bad has!!!

This is awesome!! Great video :)

This is such a cool idea and it came out spectacular!

Awesome job 🔥🔥🔥🔥Your laugh is great btw

Love this! On the topic of campaigns, I went the extra mile with a character for a campaign that unfortunately didn’t do well when Covid hit the US. I was a Kenku (and the rules for playing at the time were still that it had to mimic voices and sounds and not speak on their own.) I got permission to record our sessions and picked and chose lines from the other characters to say, and I had a soundboard as well. It was a lot of work and I don’t regret it, but the campaign only lasted a few months and it made me really sad.

Applause 👏 Nice I'm still working on my book project as well. Right now I'm editing and rephrasing all my errors of my story

As a first time watcher, not only was I impressed by your skills, but by your cheerful attitude and humor as well. Nicely done!

You've inspired me. I am going to try this with my DND books. Pray for me.

Probably for the best that you did that. D&D books are notorious for not-so-stellar binding. I've only opened up one of my campaign books, like, twice and already, pages are starting to shimmy out of their glue.

This was a very creative and enjoyable video!

Omg this turned out so great!

I just started listening to them at work last week

Hell yeah!!! Amazing job

I am not a book person but I would be so proud to have something that cool in my library. Well done. Enjoy your amazing creation.

I honestly thought Martina from nerd forge had uploaded but seeing your project was such an incredibly delightful surprise! You have such a fun vibe and from one graphic designer to another I admire your skills in Illustrator because my Photoshop aged brain could never pick it up. From design to execution you did an impressive job with editing that felt well paced. Instant sub, you’re killing it ❤

Fantastic project!

Your final design was great! What I would be interesting to see is a dnd character journal from you.

I have the same special edition books and I would never tear them apart but you did so well on your ULTRAMASTERBOOK! Absolutely love the work! Greetings from Germany. :)

This is really cool I love it :)

OMG!! My sister & I also listening to that podcast cast!

You should try a fdm printer I think you would like it it prints a lot faster there is more post processing but they print prototypes quickly

15:28 omg I just started listening to that podcast like a 2 weeks ago did not expect to hear that in this video

My goodness I would be so terrified to do this bc of how expensive but now I’m like :0 I NEED TO TRY THIS

You should have added a wash to the gold dragon logo to give it more depth and shadow effects (since it is 3d) and also make it look more rustic and old.

shes got such a nice vibe, right up my alley!

Ya should have kept the paw prints! 🐾❤😮 Adds character!

I've stumbled on girls who don't DnD when I was crocheing once and they really took my heart. Even as a person who never played DnD before, it's so fun to listen to :). And when you said you found this really funny podcast i was like 'no way it's girls who dont DnD'. And it was lol. I also love their aussie accent :>. The book turned out amazing. I'm inspired to try it myself hehe.

Stunning!!!

As an avid DnDer, loved this. So great. Liked and subscribed.
