Making A Medieval Book By Hand - Part 1 - Folding Pages, Endpapers, Piercing & Sewing

About

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
