Bookbinding Basics: Chapter 2 - Basic Materials & How To Make Your First Notebook
Four Keys Book Arts
View ChannelAbout
Hi everyone! My name is Dennis and I'm the owner of those unmanicured hands that keep getting in the way of the action in my videos. I'm a self-taught bookbinder and in May 2019 I filmed myself making a book. I uploaded it to YouTube and then promptly forgot about it. I actually left the book unfinished for many months, until I discovered that people were actually watching the video and wanted to see the book completed! Since then I've been learning the craft and building my skills. Along the way I try to document my projects and pass on any pearls of knowledge I may stumble upon. I hope you'll take some time and explore the channel, as well as my secondary channel, @FourKeysWorkshop. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers, Dennis P.S. Many of you have reached out to ask me if I take custom orders. While I do appreciate this outpouring of appreciation for my craft, I must politely decline any such inquiries. Apologies in advance for any potential disappointment. D
