That was such a lovely process to watch … and so satisfying. Your talent is breathtaking to me and your attention to detail makes my heart happy. I so enjoy your videos, Nik. Thank you so much for sharing.

That was really cool. When you cut the paper for the bookplate I got a little nervous. Oh wait, it's Nik, she knows what she's doing!

@nildam.bonilla5849 2 жыл бұрын

The process was just so interesting and I can see where I keep messing up. Beautiful work as always and beautiful materials, I wish I could get some of those papers♡

Old guy here and a wannabe "booksmithie" too! :) Love your artistry and wit. I taught myself to knit and spin wool, so I'm all primed up to learn this awesome craft. Thx!

I really loved watching this... And my inner nerd is kinda satisfied to see that you were glasses too, like me (and cliché bookworms XD )

@veronicawhite398 2 жыл бұрын

That was absolutely brilliant, Nik! Just when I thought you couldn't do any more, you go and add the title in the way you did. I am in awe of your skill set, Nik! Thankyou so very much for expanding mine. Veronica x P.S. Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope everyone is well?!

Gosh, Nik, you'd think you'd done this book binding thing a time or three!😉 Your process is flawless and mesmerizing! This is one gorgeous book! Congratulations on the find and the addition of this wondrous edition.❤❤❤

I love that wood press. I came to your stuff looking to make myself a high quality press, or as I’ve learned, a nipping press. This one is cool too.

Thank you for this video. What a transformation you brought about. It is always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at work. My father’s passion was making violins in his spare time, so I have been brought up watching meticulous processes being wrought on materials to transform simple elements into beautiful, exquisitely turned treasures.

@NiktheBooksmith 2 жыл бұрын

You father made violins?? As a hobby??? Now, THAT is true talent. What a lucky kid you were to be able to watch him craft. =)

Nik, that book is on Amazon for over $350. That’s not the only version or copy - just one of them!!! You were VERY lucky to find it so cheaply!!! 💖💖💖. PS. Love your chosen music!!! 💖💖💖

I'm pretty new to your channel so I hadn't seen you do this. Not sure if it was the soothing sounds and/or the captivating movements of this process, but it worked for me; it had me entranced. It chilled me out... time for sleep, (Not to say that it put me to sleep)! Thanks for sharing your work.

Your perfectionism was hanging out all over the cover of this absolutely stunning book cover. You amaze me Nik. Not only are YOU stunning but you are brilliant and so full of wonderful info on book making but you are hilarious too. Hugs

I have that same book and was sad that I couldn’t afford the hardback. This is a beautiful rebinding and would be a book anyone would love to have on their bookshelf or laying on a table. Thanks for sharing this process with us-I found it fascinating! Hoping you’re having a happy start to the New Year. ❤️

I might as well have been watching that shoveling in handfuls of popcorn like they show when people watch action movies, I was totally glued to the screen, practically with my face on the screen. Love watching the repair...BRILLIANT!!

Nice touch inlaying the title block. I am a huge fan of covered bricks as weights. Mine, though, are covered in reused kraft paper I get in packages as filler. My 1, 2, 3 blocks are also covered. That is because I work with leather and the metal edges might scratch the leather. (1, 2, 3 blocks are used as weights for keeping patterns still) Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it immensely. (as usual)
