Aaahhhh! I've been watching videos off and on for several weeks and I have finally found THE ONE! I'm making a ship's log for my son and his fiancé's very first sailboat. My father has been sailing since he was a kid, even made his very first sailing dinghy. He taught me. And my son joined us later and grew up on my parent's sail boat. We all loved it. Now it's his turn to own his own sail boat and a proper log. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.

This video inspired me to get into leatherworking a year or so ago. It was only now that I actually made my first books! They are also my first big money items as well! I made a matching set of three books, rebinding my friend's Dungeons and Dragons books. I used 1/16" balsa wood panels as the inside of the cover, with the leather cover stitched to it. Turned out nice. Regarding burnishing, if you don't want to do it by hand, and you don't have a bench burnisher, it's really easy to make attachments for a rotary tool. I bought some 1/8" metal rod from the big box hardware store (Menards, in my case) and some 1/2" round oak dowels. I drilled a hole through the center of the dowel, then epoxied an appropriate length of rod through it. I threw some stain on the edges of various scrap pieces of leather and pressed it against the dowel. I put my rotary tool in a vice, inserted the newly glued attachment into the rotary tool, then turned it on. . . Used a tapered round rasp and set it against the spinning line on the attachment and kept applying pressure until i felt it was deep enough. Voila! Burnisher rotary tool attachment. I went a bit extra and rounded the edges, used my wood burner to put some designs on it, then applied some tung oil. Page tearing is definitely a thing! I had to go buy a monster manual because I ripped the one he provided.

A tip for having your tooling not get drowned out by the antique to create contrast is to apply super/satin shene to your tooling before antiquing. dye your tooling how ever you want, finish it with shene, let dry then antique. the shene will save the coloring and provide a barrier to the tooling from the antique. this way the antique will still antique the tooling without sacrificing your tooling.

Its always good to leave about a quarter or 3/8" inch of leather around the edges of your pages for the overall size of your leather book. After making them for many years I and restoring old books in the university library I have learned many ways of doing so. Also its best to come in either half or 5/8" inch from both ends of your paper to punch your first set of holes for the binding. And then measure however far apart you wish to make your other holes for the binding. Just dont go to crazy and punch to many holes and risk them from tearing out of your book. And when punching all the holes into your paper chapters for binding its always best to use some form of clamps to keep all your pages together from moving around to much or uneven as you punch the holes in the spine of your pages. I found that using small or medium size spring or metal paper clamps are great for holding all the pages together before hole punching. Also if your doing a leather lined book like in this video then you dont have to punch holes into your other front face piece of leather of the book. Just leave your leather liner larger than the front face leather and stitch your pages just to the leather lining instead. Then once you have it all ready to go. First glue the spine down first of the leather liner to the spine of the front face piece. Then working from the middle of the book to the outside of the book of both sides. Once you have it glued down, trim off any excess leather of your leather liner off around the front face book cover piece of leather. That way itll look like an older style of book binding and the stitched pages dont show on the outside of the book and are completely concealed sandwiched inbetween the two pieces of leather. Yet there are so many different ways to make a leather bound book and its also a personal preference how you want it to look like. When using the V gouge to make the grooves into the leather to fold or bend. You only want to go about one third the thickness of your leather. The V gouge is adjustable so you dont go all the way through your leather.
