Tom McEwan, a Scottish bookbinder and bookbinding teacher, has been a guest on our podcast and live stream a couple of times already. But both times, we focused on books. This time, however, we decided to talk more about Tom's studio—especially since there's a great reason to do that: Tom recently moved to a new workshop!

Here is the last part of our talk with Richard Minsky, a bookbinder and book artist from the US. Richard takes us for a tour of his studio, shows us some tools and contraptions. The rest of the time we spend discussing some of his striking bindings: more than a dozen of books in total.
