So heartwarming

@@kaleidiscope true!

The technique was never lost, it had been automated.

I'm 15 and I really want to get into bookbinding, so I'm soaking up any information about it like a sponge. I guess he'd be happy to see young people being interested in that craft :)

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/briWhcKezN2yfKc.html check out this persons videos. I love how calming their technique is, and they used fabric ☺️ watching people book bind is so soothing no matter who it is.

Ethan Sanctimony good luck!

good luck!

Ethan Sanctimony how’d it go

You think robots invented binding?

Peeps in the comments need to chill, it's a 4 year old comment of someone who is just amazed by this craft. No harm, and no need to be condscending about it.

@@qvindicator were you this triggered?

Wait until you hear about the moon landing

Shreya S. For what part would someone use a hotglue gun for this? Maaaaaybe to glue the spine after binding but even for that I wouldn't use it.

SmilyLily1996 to stick the pages together. Many ppl use hot glue gun instead of stitching them.

Ohh... But I mean She's a graphic designer and you need to know how to properly bind a book as such :P

Shreya S. Hi this a question I'm hoping you would answer but how do u make a book if you can't print on it? So how do u make a story with it? Please help

MillyMoonGirl I think you should ask +Sea Lemon because I'm not really an artist person...

"awl"

+Shane Holloway Yes I just misheard, owls aren't for piercing things.

^😂

She meant to say awl not owl (pronounced like “all”)

HOOOOOT HOOOOOT PËKAW!!!!

I love it when people are pumped about bookmaking :D Thanks for checking out my videos!

Did the journal turn out well

im glad perfect binding will work for this. I want to make my GF a Journal and its hard to find paper lined well enough to fold haha. I found a cheap journal that has the perfect paper for her and it's already the perfect size! Again thank you for your awesome tutorials.

Me I do 20 pieces of bond paper so I group them into 5,is that OK? I really like your videos and it's only $0.00

Sea Lemon you should of put the number of papers because we know we're on

if i am using watercolor paper and only have one side that i can use to paint on, how should i fold my paper signature wise since the back will show on some pages?

Thank you for your amazing tutorials Sea Lemon bye

Why do you have headaches because of this? And also why were you crying? 😹😹

I guess out of deep focusing and concentration :D

+Prenses Nada and the pricking... dont forget the pricking :1

+just commenting hahahah a beautiful fruit is the outcome of hardwork

Literally why i came to this video lol

Hey there, I'm back here for another bullet journal for 2021. This channel will never stop being my main reference for bookbinding!

@@evewithwonder I'm guessing it went very well! I was also thinking of using this method to make refills for my mossery journal :')

I wish I had read this first! I just ruined my book too after working on it for so long... I was so excited I was almost done. It looked fine before :/ Blech. I honestly don't understand how this ever makes it straighter than it starts.

No

Agreed. Though the tip about using sand paper or a file is great! Must try it the next time.

seconded. its tough to get that right

After a few failed attemps to cut my textblocks I realised that i'm not very good at this and it's much easier just to buy sketchbook..

do you mean "awl-ternatives"? i see myself out

do you NEED to use PVA glue?

try using a pushpin, they are smaller and works the same

@@serenayeung7529 And a pushpin doesn't vomit up bones and fur either.

@@backforblood3421 and they don’t throw up owl pellets

@@backforblood3421 this comment scares me lol

I use a dental tool

been using an old HEAVY laptop and a cutting board 😄 whatever works works xD

thank you you saved my life i was legit scrolling thru the comments for something like this..........

2 metal rulers. I think plastic or wooden rulers are likely to snap.

Sea Lemon Can I use printer paper for book binding? I’m new to the topic and I’ve wrote a like 500 page book on printer paper and I kinda want to use this method

Elmer's glue is a PVA type glue.

Yes!! I wish this were more emphasized in all the tutorials I've read.

This is actually really similar stitching to coptic stitch. I have a slower tutorial on that if you want to check it out :) The only difference is the first and last signature. Otherwise the sewing method is almost the same. DIY Coptic Stitch Binding - bit.ly/13MoXhy

But I have make it

I hope you ended up getting your answer! I suggest using Adobe Acrobat, it will put a PDF document in a "booklet" so that the pages in each signature are in order. The only thing you'll need to do it save each signature and its own PDF. You can get a weeks free trial of Acrobat, too :)

It becomes simple after you've done it once or twice, and then you won't need to refer to the video anymore.

I am looking for the same answer! can we use like printed paper for this?

Tiffany R Chelsea Rutherford, EIC You would preferably want to format your manuscript in Microsoft Publisher (cheaper) or InDesign (better) to print off your manuscript professionally. However there is a method that you can use. Make sure that you either set your printer to duplex mode or set the document to print even or odd numbers. Make it so that you're typing on your document in a landscape orientation. (short and wide) Then format your document into two columns. That should give you everything but a good way to add in page numbers.

Thanks for helping to answer this velvetsmoke . I'm more familiar with page layout on InDesign than MS Word... Tiffany R you can use printed paper for this. If you check out my 'DIY Portfolio Book' video - bit.ly/118kZo9, that might help with some ideas with page layout and using other sources. Hope that helps!

Duke Skibbington making the block itself is exactly the same. Just make sure you print the right direction and size.

1. Start with a text version of the document - you may need to do some conversion. 2. Use a word processor to layout the document -- set the page size to your final product choose a legible font reasonable margins, including right and left cosmetic details like larger fonts & page breaks at chapter headings check your Table of contents 3. "pad" the document so it has a page count that is a multiple of 4 4. print to a pdf file. ***** get pdfseparate and pdfunite utilities pdfseparate will split your file into multiple files of one page each. pdfunite combines multiple pdf files into one file in designated command line order ****** 5. A single sheet signature in landscape mode will have page 4 on the left, page 1 on the right on one side, and page 2 on the left and page 3 on the right on the other side. 6. Multiple sheet signatures go (left to right) last page, first page on one side & next page, next to last page on the other, until they meet in the middle. 7. For a duplex printer use "long edge flip" , or every other page will be upside down. For simplex printing you may have to reverse the print order for the obverse side. 8. Page order for a 4 sheet signature: verso obvers sheet 1 16, 1 2,15 sheet 2 14, 3 4, 13 sheet 3 12, 5 6, 11 sheet 4 10, 7 8, 9 9. so for duplex printing you would use pdfunite and combine pages in the order of 16, 1, 2, 15, 14, 3, 4, 13, 12, 5, 6, 11, 10, 7, 8, 9 10 . for simplex printing, flipping the sheets would reverse the order so you'd need to use pdfunite twice - 16, 1, 14, 3, 12, 5, 10, 7 for side 1, and 8, 9, 6, 11, 4, 13, 2, 15 for the other --- YMMV though, so check your printer settings because I haven't tried this.

Duke Skibbington 😐it's same

agreed

Inches are about 3.2 cm So three fingers about

@@namkedi 1 inch is 2.54 cm exactly (25.4mm)

An inch is the size of a worm. An inchworm.😁

I used a needle and it worked fine except that my hand hurt a little after but it's fine

Fia Bear same but I did it with a needle

poster push pins work too

Easy enough to make, pound a nail into a handle-looking piece of wood, cut the head off and file to a point.

I used a bent safety pin and found it very good

It would be so cool if she did that!! :3

yeah it would

yesss

1. follow the same process. 2. make a cover. 3. write death note on the front.

oohh yes pls sea lemon make one😀😀

Emarld Pickaxe who likes listening in mono or stereo?

Your music is surround sound could you keep that?!

I only watch tutorials with music that's 7.1 lossless surround.

FrankyBabes when I make it I'm probably going to glue the whole page down because it shouldn't be a problem. hopefully it'll go okay, haha.

FrankyBabes you need to view all of it - starting at 7:55 she glues another piece to the spine and these endpapers and this makes it much more secure.

FrankyBabes If you look in a real moleskin they do the exact same thing... So I think she's just doing it like this to remain accurate to a real textblock... :P (And as far as I can see you could also just glue the whole thing down!)

FrankyBabes Yes, the endsheets are tipped to the front and back sigs by just a thin line of glue. There are several different types of reinforcements that can be used, such as crash or capping. In this case she used paper. In all my years of bookbinding I have seen very few cases where the entire endsheet is glued to the book block. It just isn't necessary, and probably undesirable. Source: I run an endsheet tipping machine in a trade bindery.

Alisha Franco The first quire/signature (technically, a signature is printed; the name comes from the printer’s markings to keep the pages in order when they went to the binder) is essentially saddle-stitched, while the rest are bound using the same method as Coptic stitch binding.

Its about the project. Making it, every little detail worked through, living in the creation of the book. Having that memory is very rewarding when using the book, also a million times rewarding when you gift a journal thats handmade.

That is actually called saddle stitch. As with anything, it has its advantages (faster, less sewing) and its disadvantages (bulkier rounder spine, you have to trim more of the edges for them to be straight, there is also some sort of upper limit in the number of pages you can bind...). An engineer's perspective would be to choose the best method considering both the time you have and the characteristics of product you want.

art bean just stain the pages with tea and then for the cover just decorate it to look like the book and after that look up the pages on Google and copy that on to the tea stained dry pages

+Shanna Greer I wish "thumbs downing" did something...

+Shanna Greer I think there's a .125 speed option in the settings.

+Shanna Greer same here this will be my first" bookbindig " but this is just too fast

+Hedgy you can use pause button and replay. I watch it once first in its entirety to get the gist and then I pause replay as I do it.

+Shanna Greer Jesus Christ. You can always slow it down in setting on each video.

Nice! Good luck on your book projects :)

Just slow it down using the settings in KZfaq!

Thanks! :D I continue to upload bookbinding tutorials as well as other crafts/DIYs each week. Check out my channel to see them organized in playlists and I hope you sub for more!
