It was lovely spending a little time in your workshop , listening and watching as you shared your skill and knowledge , thank you for taking the time to do so. It’s amazing to think the technology that’s contributed to the demise of such a beautiful craft, may also help to save and revive it, or at least keep its techniques and secrets safe for those yet to come . I have just bought a couple of old book binding tools which I love , your workshop is just jaw dropping, tool envy “doesn’t come close , the display and quantity of beautiful tools nearly took my breath away ! The seeds of your knowledge have now been cast far and wide, I’m sure many of them will find the right place to flourish and grow 😊Thank you again .

If I could have had any choice of a career - this would have been it ! Thank you for sharing your skill and wow I am in awe of how those books look ! Just absolutely amazing and beautiful. GOD Bless you for sharing Dear Trevor.

This is a level of expert craftsmanship that I can only dream of achieving -- not just in bookbinding, but in anything. Thank you for sharing with us your secrets!

Superb skill and craftsmanship, part of what made Britain great. No machine can match the British craftsman.

Really helpful video. I learned many things. Did you say “you could do this job with your eyes closed?”only a skilled craftsman of many years experience could ever say something like that. Lining up hand-tooled letters has to be one of the hardest skills to master with eyes very much open! Thank you. John Green sent us your link. I’m glad he did.

I would advise anyone to purchace Trevors DVD lessons on his website. Great teacher. Thorough in his explanations and processes.

A very impressive demonstration of skill

This has helped me so much, thank you!!

Probably the greatest video on youtube on this subject. Great Work!! It will help me a lot in my small projects. Hope to see more videos coming from you!!

I want to apprentice under this wonderful man

That was so very interesting - thank you for sharing your trade - excellent workmanship!

Congrats. It´s a amazing job. Greetings from a colleague by profession from Albacete, Spain.

Beautiful !!

عمل أكثر من رائع Very good work...

It is so wonderful to see such craftsmanship, such an outstanding quality, in this youtube sea of rubble. What a beautiful gold finishing, breathtaking. I was, for a part, educated in Ascona but I can't remember using the paste water first. I was wondering how you take of the loose gold of the rubber...... Can you please make more video's? I shared it on facebook, it should be seen by so many more people! I saw it because Harmatan shared. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing. I did video about it in Paris, was really interesting. Best of luck.

Fascinating!

Very informative.

Love to watch a master work at his trade... Brilliant.. I'd love to learn is there a shop to buy tools?

What a great video! Thank you for sharing it. I'm an soon to be master bookbinder from Finland, although feel like such a novice still :) But it's about continuous learning, right? It is so great to be able to find videos like this, since there's not that many places to learn this kind of skills.

Excelente video gran destreza y dedicación realmente aprendo mucho. aunque realizo trabajos de encuadernación con medios mas moderno pero su metodología me ayuda bastante

❤ lindo seu trabalho

Thank you so much for sharing your gold tooling technique. Great video and wonderful calm commentary. The gilt edge is head only? Thus denoting the head and no upside down tooling? Thank you again

Excellent video, master Lloyd! Your explanations are vital! It s the first time i ve heard someone actually saying that you need a thin coating of vaseline after the pastewash and glairing. I ve since learned this, but my first attempts were very frustrating as the leaf kept slipping off :)))

What a fantastic video, what kind of glue or paste is it that you are using also you mentioned the clear coat that you apply at the end what is it exactly? The work is beautiful...

Beautifully done! Is the paste wash the same thing as size? And what did you use to remove the unwanted gold and why did the tooled gold hold? Because it was heated? Thanks, great video!

Thank you for making and sharing this video. Could you please tell me what brand of 'gold rubber' you used to remove the excess gold leaf with, and is it called gold rubber?

Great video, but it would be awesome to have the things you used put into description. I need to know exactly what liquids you used and the gold sheets

Great, can you tell me where to buy book binding tools and book gilding tools, and do you have any tips for beginners?

Hi Trevor thank you for the great video. Could I please ask if you are able to tell me how to make a paste wash. Also are you able to perhaps give me an idea of how to make my own glaire and how long does one leave the glare on for before tooling? Some of the ready-made glaire you can buy suggests 24-hours. you so much

Thank you for this video. I am building up my tools and supplies and would like to know where I may procure some what was featured in your video. The heater, and hand tools and letters etc. Thank you for any information you have.

Hum, close-up, maybe? Dit looks interesting but couldn't see anything

There should be some closeup shots of the titles when finished. Joyce Dreyfuss

What are these books and who are you binding them for?

Does the purchased video talk about the chemistry of using the various layers, including Vaseline, and tools and process to get the gold to reliably adhere to the leather?

I always wondered, what is the use of gold to hold on to the skin? , what do you have in that glass with which you put on the second book what is ready to be gilded? Thanks for the reply! I am surprised by the dexterity with which you put the letters, this must have many years of experience

Should add I may have to be inventive since I am on retired and on Social Security. do have referrals to making own tools and tables and such? Thank you.

Do you foil book block edges and is so do you have a video on your method please?

May I ask where did you buy your tools from?

My Hearings not perfect but muffled sound is most annoying 🤷‍♂️

Hi merry christmas, 🎄2021 Iraq bagdhad.

Also what petrol do you use to remove the gold? Thank you.

If your already using glair what is the benefit of using vaseline as well?

What is your stamp heater called? I’ve been searching everywhere for something like it, but no success.

what are all the tools you're using called? I want to get into book binding myself, and I would love to be able to acquire such tools

I want to learn this having the equipment and was hoping to see the results, just hold the book up to the camera, nope . . . just add the book to the pile! Some good information though. Next film, display the work.
