Great video!! One of the most helpful and concise tutorials I’ve seen yet while falling down this diy bookbinding rabbit hole. Love the clear and direct info, the simple animations to illustrate your points, and all of the helpful design ideas from all of your covers that you’ve done. Thank you for taking the time to make this one. New sub here and I’ll be watching your other vids as well. Thank you!

Man this is impressive! I love the design for your Star Wars collection! It just shows much love for the craft you have

Your book binding is amazing and your video editing style is so fun and charming I find myself giggling a bit a fair number of times each video, thank you!

Wow! Not only is the art of this hobby incredible, but the videos you make are so informative and masterfully edited. Idk if I will ever actually perform this art myself, but just watching these videos is a delight. I just had to say awesome job!

This video was incredible, I love hardcover books and am in the process of converting all my cheap softcover amazon books to have their own unique hardcover. Your designs are so pretty!!
-
I can't wait until I try what I've learned from you. I just managed to get my hands on a cricut, and I have a lot of books that I would like to leather bind. Hopefully everything turns out well and I get to make my favorite books look amazing.
-
Your videos are amazing and I am simple obsessed with this channel! Can´t stop watching!
-
Looks fantastic, thanks for the tutorial! I can't wait until my workstation is set up this fall so I can try my own
-
This is so awesome! From the books I've done so far, the design is actually the most time consuming because I'm super nitpicky about it. Thanks for the tutorial again, I love your editing style so much 🤗🤗
-
Bravo! I was looking forward to this. Great tutorial.
-
5 videos in so far and I've already learned so much.. i have traditional leather bound books, with no titles for over a year because I thought I needed to buy expensive book stamps from overseas. All that now comes to a close. Thank you. Oh and I appreciate the editing funnies.
-
So many little details I would have never considered and would have had to find out the hard way. Thanks for this 😊
-
Thank you, this video makes me feel so much better about actually planning instead of always making my adjustments on the fly. My attention issues dominate a lot, but processes like yours have inspired me to plan my designs and outcomes to keep me from flying off at a whim.
