Last time we left off with the signatures and covers sewn together-
Bound as it were.
And so the job was nearly finished.
But not quite!
As can be seen, The Fuzz had not trimmed the covers to size. This was because, as with many of his projects, he had no idea exactly how he was going to finish it up!
The leather covers were too limp to expect them to stay in place and protect the pages. So he decided to make a flap that could be tied when the book was put up.
The leather was cut into the appropriate size and shape and the point for the tie was located.
Then the holes were punched.
The Fuzz was not satisfied with the way the cover was loose at the corners.
So he decided to add some more threads there.
This seemed to solve the problem.
Here's the finished project.
The next question will be what to put in it!

Beautiful! The sawtooth (where we saw the photographer artist talk) had a talk by a bookmaker the other day. it's so interesting what people can do with that skill. Now you just have to face down the "White Bull" as Hemingway called the bank page. :D
Is that a leather hole punch? I might to bring a belt of mine down and have a few new holes added, not because I'm loosing weight but because I bought a belt too big
