I know you can cut and weed the vinyl with a Cricut, but how do you cut the iron-on foil (like the lion's head)?

I've just come across your videos and binge watched all the book-related ones. May I say you got me fond of this art within minutes of listening to you, though I would have been listening for days! Also, you inspire such peace and joy, that just your videos are kind of therapeutic themselves! Congrats for your work, keep it up and thank you so much for sharing your hard-earned knowledge with us! ❤

This is my third comment on one of your videos so first let me say thank you, this content has led me to make three leather bound books of my own and I’m hooked. I’m struggling with the edge gilt though, the plastic keeps on shifting and scrunching up. I can’t seem to get even coverage no matter what I do. Any help?

My only question is why did you not just give your archival book a new spin and keep the original cover? The cover is an integral part of the the book edition and replacing the entire cover just reduced the quality of the book. Next time try just restoring the book and not rebinding the entire book, it will retain a higher value. They both look great but now the archival book has lost all of its personality.

I'm sure you've answered this somewhere I'm just struggling to find... when you send the design to your cutting machine on the washi setting, how do you get it to cut through the foil only (not the plastic)? looking at your Aslan design, it seems like you've magicked the machine into not cutting through the plastic so that the foil design stays attached to the plastic and you can lift it off the cutting mat in one piece. Hopefully that makes sense... the problem I'm running into is that my machine will cut all the way through the foil quill sheet leaving my design on the mat, so I can't take it off without taking off little pieces individually which wrecks the design

Great video!!! Offhandedly, is that a Menē ring? Very nice 😎

OLD Leather Smith here, excellent video the only difference between you and me is I use LEATHER everywhere you use paper. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️🥎🙃

What about imitation leather ? Have you ever tried with that ?

Please please please talk about this creature! With ten years of research into him I can’t think of a better source!

This was a fantastic tutorial of what you are thinking about when designing a book. It was well put together too, if a little cheesy. But who doesn’t love some cheese now and then?

All you need is a te tone

I have a huge problem with my pages sticking together. No amount of tapping and bending separates the htv I’m using. Any thoughts on what I’m doing incorrectly?

Hello, I'd like information in creating a book press.

Just as a warning. The acidity of the materials used will one day yellow and eat through the paper. However if using commercial soft cover books that would probably happen anyway.

Bro that's cool

you can get it…😊

Cool

This was so wholesome, I know I’m very late to this but congratulations on your wedding! Beautiful work on the cufflinks

Did you sand the top and bottom as well? Or just put foil quill over them as they are?

This is so extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time to put your videos together! Quick question: what kind of vinyl cutter do you use and do you have a preference on the actual vinyl material brand to buy?

I tried do page gilding a few days ago and had problems with the foil not sticking. While I sanded I used coarse, medium and fine sandpaper as that was all that was available. The edges were smooth but not reflective and I thought that it would be fine. The foil ended up not sticking properly, and after ironing on about four layers, it did stick but it was very patchy. Next time, I should try to use a sandpaper with finer grit than the one I have and see it that helps. Thank you for this video, I'm excited to see how my books turn out!

Hi! I was wondering (I’m sure you’ve already said this somewhere and I’m not too sure if you use a Cricut machine) but I’m really wanting to get into the cover designing aspect of bookbinding and am looking at getting a Cricut machine. I was wondering if you could tell me if you get your HTV from somewhere else (hopefully less expensive!)? I want lots of colours to experiment with but that is expensive aha. EDIT: Nevermind! I knew you would have put it somewhere! Went through the comments and found you use Siser HTV! I have loved your videos, they bring such satisfaction and are really enjoyable! I hope you make more! (It can be just satisfying and educational to watch you make the books, because I imagine big videos like these would take a heap of time!) anyway, sending lots of encouragement! 😊

Absolutely beautiful I can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very informative. I’m new to book binding and have soooo many questions, and ideas😊. I want to create a baby book for my first grandchild ❤, and really want it to last a very long time. Thank you again and I will watching for great content👍🏼

Hey Ingenious designs, where did you find the stainless steel tube that the 1/8th inch rod slides into, I can't find it anywhere online.

Thank you so much! These videos are amazing! I tried with the way of kings and it turned out pretty mediocre but un definitely gonna keep trying with other books and eventually i might get to half your quality

ok ima be honest i just watch the video because iwanted to know you can fly with it

Great tutorial!

Wow, really enjoy your video and keen to learn more.

Illustrator is kicking my butt, can you please do a more in depth tutorial on designing covers? There is nothing on KZfaq for it.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of page gilding? Thank you!

Mas produce and sell

Hi, i have finally decided to test add vinyl to a cover. I just wonder, I know you work with leather but would this be perfectly fine method on a cloth-binding as well?

awesome and entertaining too!

This was sick mate books and swords, is there anything you can’t do? Would definitely like to see more videos on your swords maybe one where you explain what exactly your doing and the techniques you’re using Now if you excuse me I’ve got some binging to do

Sell them please my boys want them and I can't make that.

Cool. I like avatar. I like gliders. I like both. I like real life. I like this then.

Great job and exactly the video I was looking for

Now fly on it

Good video mate

How long do you keep it in the press before pulling it out and tapping it to get the pages apart?

Can it fly like avatar am just asking

Try flying with it

What a likable guy. And a great tutorial also. I make journals and can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Code you use leather for the end sheets??

BETTER THAN THE STAFF FROM THE LIVE ACTION

I’m going to boarding school this August and have a few books which I want to take with me but are very flimsy. Given the way I usually treat my books, they won’t last long without a hardcover. So thank you for this tutorial

Please make more!

You are GENIUS!!

Yo! I'd love to build some things with you, I feel like our minds and love for in depth anime and real spiritual physics we could realllyyy craft something possibly alchemicaly enchanted so to speak🩵🏴‍☠️✖️🧙‍♂️
