More bindings, amazing boxes, and even some smoke-like marbling on silk by Chena River Marblers. After discussing books, Peter took us for a tour of his enormous workshop! Tools, workbenches, book projects in works -- all this and more!
One of the latest additions to our shop, a 4-in-1 corner mitering jigs and a straightedge. A tool of this sort was requested by a customer. And after a bit of thought and experimentation, I made this design.
I thought I would be able to go through this lockdown without any additional announcements, but it seems reasonable to say a couple of words about the current situation. And say thanks to the members of our community.
Our guest is Todd Davis, a bookbinder and book repair master from Boston. Todd has chosen bookbinding as his third career some six years ago and has been working in his studio in Lowell, MA, for the past four years.
Our wildly popular corner clamp for boxmaking and other crafts now has a smaller brother: a clamp for miniature books' boxes. Here it is near a two-euro coin and a miniature Pushkin gifted to me by my mother-in-law.
It's time to announce a major addition to our section punching tools collection. Major as in huge, because this tool is massive! We've been quiet during the winter holidays. But now it's time to share something special with you!
Following the changes made to our sewing frame with hooks for cord adjustment, the cheaper version of the tool was revamped as well. Instead of the previously used chipboard, now it has a wooden board for a base.
The launch of our new section punching tool was a blast! First, it was warmly welcomed by our Instagram followers, and then the orders just continued to come every day! Here are only a few of the recent orders.
Recently we updated our book press family for even better user experience. Previously, wing nuts were used for tightening the press. That's a cheap and straightforward solution that allowed us to keep the price low. But now we found a better way!
You have until the 20th of October if you want to get the advantage of the shop-wide 20%-discounts at our shop! Whether you wanted to buy a set of corner cutting jigs or some more expensive equipment, now is the right moment!
As most of our 3d-printed tools may be adjusted for almost any client's needs, some of the changes are implemented for the standard versions on the product as well. That's why we add many new sizes to our bookbinder's gauges.
I've made this short video to show during bookbinding shows and fairs, as it answers all the major questions in just 30 seconds. However, I was a bit slow to share it. Don't know why. In this post, you'll find this video =)
Like our corner cutting jigs? Well, what's not to like—we make them in multiple sizes allowing you to adapt to almost any cardboard you may use for your book's covers. Now we offer you a metal version of the same tool!
We are working on several new versions of our best seller - corner cutting jigs. However, this may be the most fun of them. Do you want a corner cutting jig with your country's flag on it?
