My Ongoing Adventures in Book Binding and BOS Compilation

So heres an update on my current Book, or BOS. Ive been sewing books since i was little and recently due to a need for a more flexable record book, have delved into post binding. it taken 4 attempts to reach my latest and im quite proud of it.

 pardon the date, i never remember to set my camera so its a given for most of my pics, though saying this ill just go and set it now so i wont forget.

 Here's my baby, leather bound and all new... you've got no idea how much i prayed while assembling this. i used a spray adhesive that gave me no wiggle room so once on that was it. luckily the post holders were spaced almost perfectly. 

 the spine was tricky in that i never quite got the glue to set right but i still like the way it turned out. i ended us doubling the thickness of the spine to give it more weight and holding it is very gratifying. its light, without the pages and even then much lighter than the wood case i was preparing to cut.

 Here open, the pages fall over the post holders and i realized while making the last prototype that they can be cut back to improve the paper fall. oddly enough for anyone who loves books like me, each time the book opens the spine gives a nice creak that i find marvelous. and while the posts are visable for the time being, once at capacity they should be unnoticeable.

Here standing, you can get a sense of the spine hinge and depth. its been a fun and daunting project but im happy with it. i havent added marking ribbons yet but will do so when i find the right ones. its far from being full though and about half of it is typed for space and legibility's sake. the rest is scribbled and scrawled and illustrated as best i can. ill be posting some of my manuscript pages here as soon as i get a proper scanner.

 Till next time, Goddess Bless.
