Some thoughts on bookbinding

When I began my first project, I hand-cut the text weight papers (e.g. the lined paper for notebooks) with a craft knife. The papers were uneven, this with the aide of a metal ruler. Then, just earlier this evening, while at my friend's house, I managed to hand-cut papers and actually they turned out very well. Well, I told myself to do a few projects a week, to get the hang of it. So far, my skills are slowly improving.

Already done a few Japanese stab bindings, getting the hang of those too.

More to come, along with pictures of some of my projects. Until next time...
