Replica of a 1970 Notepad Case // Adventures in Bookbinding

In this video I make a replica of a notepad case from 1970 while I talk about how studying historic bookbinding and making replicas of older books and stationery changed the way I approached bookbinding. Did you notice the lack of irritating YouTube fluff like calls to action - subscribe - hit the bell - leave a comment - like! And no sponsor for something unrelated to the video and for a product of dubious use and value. No affiliate marketing with companies putting small specialty retailers out of business. And absolutely no AI! This is only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated. You can join with a small monthly subscription or annual membership. I would love to see you at one of my monthly live Q&A sessions on Zoom.   / dasbookbinding   You can become a DAS Bookbinding Patreon at a free level and I provide some material for everyone to use.
