Tools for the Beginner Bookbinder // Adventures in Bookbinding

In this video I'll go through most of the #tools that I believe someone starting out on their #bookbinding journey could use. This list is similar to what is shown in most bookbinding books, except I avoid some of the more bookbinding specific tools. However, it is my list and I'm sure other experienced bookbinders would produce a different list. The main limitation of this list is that it does not contain the tools needed to back a book. I'll cover specific bookbinding tools, such as backing boards, hammer and appropriate press, in another video. These videos are only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated.   / dasbookbinding   I understand not everyone wants to use Patreon. I also very much welcome and appreciate one-off contributions.

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow. The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books. The best way to find what you are looking for is the DAS Bookbinding YouTube Channel guide. https://dasbookbinding.com/2019/12/14...
