Juliet Fischer and that was just the book, someone would still have to go in and hand write everything in it

I would easily drop a $100 USD for something like this, and even that is probably too low.

Papa Billydeth - Printed books were made the same way. The pages were printed, then bound.

Melissa Whitney - I've dabbled a bit in leatherworking. None of those materials forgive mistakes. US$100 would be low WITHOUT the brasswork and buckles (and tea-staining).

Man, I WISH that was considered "too low." People in general just aren't all that enthused about forking over even $100 for something like this. Not when cheap alternatives exist. I mean, Moleskines (ugh) are already considered quite the luxury, especially where I'm from.

Coffee, plywood, rope, cardboard, buckle and corner brass findings, linen, wax, leather dye,

I put these all in a bowl and mixed. It still doesnt look like a book, do i need to bake it?

@@elijahmacfarland9000 very well for a first time experiment! We have to work out a few details but all the main things are there!

@@marabuora9547 I'm making one as we speak and I just finished the head band part. That part of it was sooo fun and satisfying. OH, may I ask you a question? Did you add linen to the spine and if so was there paper stuck to the underside of the linen? The reason I ask is because I have a roll of linen that I bought specifically for bookbinding and it appears that the paper on the underside is not meant to come off.

@@adriahaddy258 I added a piece of an old cotton bedsheet I had lying around instead of linen and it worked just fine, I'm not sure about the linen but I think (think being key here) the paper is supposed to be removed before you use it, I'm not sure tho... Tell me how it went when you finish!

@@marabuora9547 I think so too. The linen Martina used didn't have paper (I became one of their patrons tonight just so I can watch some of her bookbinding tutorials to see if her linen had paper on the back of it and it did not, lol). NOW I have to figure out how to take the paper off. When you peal it it's literally stuck on as if it shouldn't come off. That's why I was asking you if it was meant to come off.

Food commercials make you want to make books? I think at that point you should just go ahead and make one if everything you see reminds you of books.

literally same. Just a random thumbnail and i was like "Oh, huh. okay" and now im like OMFG I DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE

@DAVE ADAM yeah you really cant, you need someone to buy it. say you sold 1 of these for $50 (and this is considering millions of books are made with content in them for far less) , youd still need to make another 20,000 to just gross 1million. If you want to net that much then most like youll have to make double the amount. Considering at 20,000 minimum you are making 54 of these per day for the year it just can happen with so many processes taking a week at least (the drying the pasting the pressing) and then who would even be willing to purchase even 1000 of these over the course of 5 10 years let alone the 20,000 you have made (of course including variation as a minimum). And then you have made the product and that is 5% of what is needed in order to sell it. Theres marketing (the biggest one) , financing, targeting, and much more which will even give you the chance to be somewhat competitive. I am sorry for tearing you apart like this but you do not have the faintest clue of what you are talking about.

@DAVE ADAM you made a business plan that was bank approved? Really? I have no idea why you find that so reliable considering: 1. In current period banks are giving out and printing money like madmen 2. Any decent person knows how many so called bank approved businesses still failed at the end of the day. Hint: Its not a small percentage. Then you may say a well its a well thought out plan, it will not fail as bad. You are challenging the art market. We are not talking about content filled books that a whole entire topic entirely. These books will be sold empty and are being bought purely off the quality and the aesthetic. What goes though you seem to think youve nailed it hard with your idea of very easily finding 1000-10000 individual consumers looking for this precise product at a price range of $350+. Then you say we can use assembly sub-assembly and a standardisation process, so bam well done you have destroyed the quality of the world slash that price in half and you have also up the expenses. Can you contribute something useful? Mynti Girl who I wont assume has no knowledge of creating these books, may do very well with your so called insight and understanding of the market but this is only with your insight. Otherwise she will be sitting with 10,000 books produced (which btw she wont produce this many in a year, its still close to 3 books per day assuming she works at it every single day) , head level in debt and cursing herself for listening to some random stranger on the internet. To whoever does make 10,000 of these in a year, I will personally give them 1 million, thats how sure I am of it. And you are right, I would never purchase this, I may make this myself but I will never purchase this, and if any of the rich people who have read the likes of Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People, the Richest Man in Babylon, or even Rich dad poor dad. If any of them buy one of these Ill commend them for being willing to spend that much money on something that goes against all their teachings, unless they a collectors. Which again a niche within a niche. Such a sadly small market.

@DAVE ADAM oh sure, I will head off but before I do I must ask with your incredible self assurance on the fact that the mass production of this book type and selling of it would be so successful, why do you not do it yourself? Surely you would be ever so successful at it that I would be willing to prostrate before you. Also you are very right. I in fact do not own 1 million dollars, I am what you can consider the living slave, working about 60 hours a week, which does not make me rich enough to afford a home where I live but certainly not poor enough to make large sums of investments. In my current sickness I have gone to spending a short while of time on youtube and have entered quite a useless argument with you. But anyways I plan to change all that and I would like you to answer my above question.

@DAVE ADAM okay well I hope to see you do well in if you profit in producing this product. I understand the entrepreneur mindset and am sure for one that its not something I will have. My negativity is natural for me and I tend to prefer to live life with a bit of a more harsher view if you will. Thank you for your concern over my health. I personally do enjoy creating things in my free time. I currently am in the process of writing a series of books my self while I keep my full time work and transition to learning a trade I enjoy. You are right I am quite lacking in marketing. I know a little marketing myself such as social media marketing, email, website, cold calling, lead generating, seo, sem, influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, relationship marketing and then all the pricing strategies with upselling and what not but I have zero experience using them. I am sure if you make use of alot of these or to a proficient level you may get your target audience but for me I am far happier providing services and then carefully investing since I can obtain a far greater return for very low effort. If something you say pisses me off in the future Ill come argue with you later so until then.

You could totally do it! You don't have to make it nearly this fancy. The actual technique is pretty basic. You just need a lot of glue and patience.

The supplies are available. Just start small (literally or figuratively) and work until you gain skill.

Me too. Me toooooo......

Not so! When you start and get to imagine your finished work you'll be more driven to reach the finished product and be very proud of your work. You'll then be motivated more than ever to make more when friends and colleagues wonder where did you BUY it, you can proudly say, "buy it? I MADE THIS!" then here comes the requests to make them one (or three).

@@nousernamefound.7 When Nerdforge was fighting the dark wizard they both harnessed dragons. The battle was long and unforgiving. During the middle of the fight the enemy's dragon managed to rip her arm's flesh open with it's razor sharp tail. However in the end, Nerdforge stood a top her enemy's beast with the dark wizards severed head in her hand.

It was probably a spell gone wrong. Maybe the spell, Expecto Patronum. Lol

I can’t think of a creative name really? My cousin had surgery when she broke a bone and her scar is in the exact same place. It wasn’t a suicide attempt.

Dragon Blade I was thinking the same thing

Same i would only wright in it if my handwriting was nice linked writing which mine isn't

You could practice on a piece of paper before you put it in the book,or write in pencil possibly.

If you make the book yourself, you can write on the paper before you bind it. That way you can toss a piece of paper that has a mistake on it, and only bind the ones you want to keep.

MecchaKakkoii sounded like a woodpecker

Same It sounds like a mini jackhammer lol

I believe what TheElement OfFyre was talking about was Wicca, not witchcraft. Allow me to educate you: While you may have practiced witchcraft for sixteen years and may be very experienced, your space may not have been cleansed. But please don't discredit the Goddess, no one here has discredited what you believe in. If anyone wants to do harmless spellwork, they should be free to express it without judgement. And if you don't like this kind of stuff, why are you on a video about how to make a spellbook? Please be mindful, and respect the beliefs of others.

Get an old leather purse and trace over a small handbook, cut out the covers, use a spoonful of Sanka coffee in a cup of hot water to stain the pages, let dry, get some fishing thread or bakers' twine for the binding and hopefully you have some Elmer's glue laying around somewhere. Use an upholstery needle to sew your designs by hand into the flap corners and tah-dah! A mini spell book.Lol.
