What do put on the leather tome, once it's all finished, in order to seal the color?

2021-04-14 20:41:12 +0000 UTCI believe that I did the end sheets correctly at the beginning. However, when the last step came to glue the last end sheet to the cover no matter what I did it wrinkled at the bottom as I was closing the book. Did I glue the end sheets too close to the cords? I'm frustrated and disappointed with the end result close to the spine.

2020-06-14 08:37:40 +0000 UTCWhy do you glue your end sheets on instead of sewing them to the jute cord like the signatures? Just wondering

2020-06-14 00:31:43 +0000 UTCTandy Leather has vegetable tanned leather. Finding the 1mm thick that Martina uses may be difficult. Leather is sold by "ounces" - an ounce is 1/64" thick, so 2 ounce leather is 1/32" or 0.8mm thick and 3 ounce leather is 3/64" or 1.2mm thick. Tandy Leather has stores in several Pennsylvania cities. A web search should find the closest place. They also sell all the tools that you've seen Martina use. When you go in, let them know you're looking for 2-3 ounce vegetable tanned leather. Usually, the people working there can provide a lot of help for whatever you need, and there's usually a LOT of stuff in the stores. It can be a little overwhelming.

2020-06-07 16:44:11 +0000 UTCI love how beautiful and detailed you make your books! Mine is still halfway through because my orders are taking extralong time to arrive.(No wonder obviously) But I am happy that I found a printing company who can print the content of my next book projects :) And I am planing on going to a bookbinder to try to "borrow" some professional tools, like book press or lying press for backing

2020-05-29 09:08:14 +0000 UTCI'm really excited to try binding now. I spent a good chunk of last night looking at ordering supplies so I can get started! I never would have dreamed I would want to do this until I watched your videos. And I'm also planning on making my own diorama for my book shelves!
