    Truly beautiful Art you create ! I am humbled by the incredible amount of work you’ve shown but also he amount of prep work you didn’t, the hours and hours of waiting for glues to dry , the amount of leather work preparing the cover hide for glueing you also didn’t show for brevity’s sake…this is an immense work of creation. Thank you for sharing part of it with us !

    When you have all of your sections in the vise, and you use the saw to cut a slot in them, how do you end up with holes for sewing, instead of slots?

    W video 💯

    I am less than a novice, working on learning to bind my first book. I am both impressed and intimidated by the talent you’ve earned mastering your craft.

    If i could write perfectly i’d buy this book but i’m quite bad at writing need to work on that quality of my handwriting. Although just have it as a decoration would be enough.

  19. Kent Jensen on February 25, 2023 at 6:26 am

    T h a t i s a b s o l u t e l y a m a z i n g ….. I myself made a few books and the last one, leather-covered took me days…. Your is the true masterpiece!

  26. AniMageNeBy on February 25, 2023 at 6:32 am

    Jeezuschrist. What a craftsman. Didn’t know they still existed in this day and age.

    I wonder what it costs to buy a customized one?

  27. BotRazmic on February 25, 2023 at 6:32 am

    Absolutely stunning

  28. Mowgly 84 on February 25, 2023 at 6:33 am

    I know this guy. He is one of the nicest people I met. If you want to buy something from him, he will make it perfect for you. Everytime!

  29. Neil Stansbury on February 25, 2023 at 6:36 am

    This is one of the most exquisitely beautiful things I have ever seen. Holding this in you hand must feel both like an honour and an obligation to use those pages with as much love as it was crafted with..

  30. Blanca Beatriz Garcia on February 25, 2023 at 6:38 am

    Que faites-vous des déchets de feuilles d’or ?

  31. Samuel Culper on February 25, 2023 at 6:39 am

  35. a garden of worlds on February 25, 2023 at 6:43 am

    What are the names of all the tools that you use?

  36. mister_diamond 💎 on February 25, 2023 at 6:44 am

    Как хочется научиться такому искусству 😍😍😍

  37. swaminathan iyer on February 25, 2023 at 6:46 am

    Such a wonderful work of art.

  38. Josiah P. on February 25, 2023 at 6:48 am

    Imagine the D&D tomes bound like this.

  39. Jtuned on February 25, 2023 at 6:49 am

    Ridiculously thick for A5 size and such heavy paper stock. If you’re gonna make a book that small, use thinner paper…this was a pretty dumb waste, the book isn’t ever gonna be very useful.

  40. richard mitchell on February 25, 2023 at 6:49 am

    And how much do you sell them for?

  41. Jeffrey Drayton on February 25, 2023 at 6:50 am

    That’s beautiful.

  42. Sunil1768 on February 25, 2023 at 6:51 am

    Very inspirational! Love the goldleaf touch…

  43. Μεσοποταμία on February 25, 2023 at 6:52 am

    This… This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.. this is art man.

  44. Herr Schlag on February 25, 2023 at 6:52 am

    That was amazing

  45. Mustafa Varol on February 25, 2023 at 6:52 am

    Perfect

  46. Linzee on February 25, 2023 at 6:54 am

    Wow that is absolutely gorgeous

  47. Gayaz Musin on February 25, 2023 at 6:55 am

    И это всего лишь навсего ежедневник ??? Тогда какие туда нужно записывать дела и мысли ? Наверное как барон Мюнхгаузен : СЕГОДНЯ СОВЕРШАЮ ПОДВИГ !!!

  48. Elias Derry on February 25, 2023 at 6:56 am

    This is mesmerizing! How does the gold leaf get embossed? Is there an adhesive in just the patterned areas? Is the tool heated?

  49. lol K on February 25, 2023 at 6:56 am

    GORGUES

  50. Erjing Shi on February 25, 2023 at 6:56 am

    Did you spray your own blood on the side of the book?
