I made a leather cover for my e-reader tablet with magnets that completely (and safely) encloses it. Not my most elegant work but I had to do a few work arounds to incorporate the magnets and make a spine that wouldn't crack when folded back upon itself. It closes very firmly. #LeatherCraft #maker #tablet #HandMade #humour #books #BookBinding

Wanted to do something today that wasn't on the laptop. I've been wanting to start get into book binding and so I figured I'd start simple and create a couple of Field Notes type notebooks.

I have two notebooks now. I made a lot of mistakes, but I know where I need to improve which is good. But, 48 pages, one using a simple stitch, and another using a chain stitch.

Going to treat this like needing to forge a thousand knives before I can create a sword

Research klaxon!!

I'm collaborating on a piece about #medieval women in #bookbinding and would love to know if there's scholarship about medieval #Islamic and East #Asian women working in the trade?

Please do share! (You be thanked in the article)

I bought some signature punches for a bookbinding project, and these can normally be very expensive so I was skeptical that they'd be any good at this price... but these things work GREAT. It's super easy to make neat signatures and bind your own notebooks.

You do need to buy an awl, thread and needle but that's it.

Why are the sections of a book called “signatures” what does that have to do with signing your name to a document if anything?
