Bindery Made Jigs & Templates // Adventures in Bookbinding

Описание: For hundreds of years, one of the first things apprentice bookbinders made were tools, jigs and templates. Some of these tools they would use for the rest of their lives. A successful bookbinder who owned two well known binderies in Brisbane, Doug Keats, was nice enough to give me his corner templates that he made when he was an apprentice and that he used for over 60 years. In this video I make a few simple jigs and templates that will make you a more independant bookbinder.

A list of recommended suppliers of bookbinding tools and materials can be found here.

Any PVA designed to be used with paper can be used as the adhesive for applying headbands. I use a special EVA called Evasol, which is rated for conservation grade work, which is overkill for most people, including me.

The board I use is 2.4mm generic grey acid free binder's board. Davey Red Label is my choice for better work.
