4 Days Left of the Campaign and I'm probably a little more than halfway done. All but 25 copies are sewn. I hope to finish 5 more tonight, but that might be overly ambitious. I sewed perhaps 10 today. Also, prepped the last 25 copies for sewing. That... (Read More)
6 days to go
November 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Six days to go in this campaign and it's pretty quiet. Not that I mind, after such a wig-popping start. I think my hair is still up in a tree. I bet you didn't know I wore such a thing. Explains a lot, eh? All that money I spent on glue, I should... (Read More)
Day 12: Zine
November 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Figured out a cool way to make the zine version. I'm still sewing the signatures. Instead of gluing the cover on, I tape a paper cover to the book. Looks nifty. No staples. The book's too thick for staples anyways. Soundtrack for bookmaking: Beach... (Read More)

Ok, slowed down a little, but working on the book every day. Got to do a little "real" work here and there, as well. Learned that I can't cut corners. I ordered some prewaxed linen thread off Amazon, thinking that I'd save a few hours waxing thread.... (Read More)

Day 8: More Finished Books
November 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Yesterday, I glued more books. Some of the bound book blocks didn't fit the covers I made. Little discrepancies build up and I didn't allow for much of that in my design. There's a lot of learning in this first 30 books. The next run will be better.... (Read More)
Day 7: Finished Books
November 14th - via: kickstarter.com
After gluing the book boards, the tabs have to be folded and glued. Before doing a little handyman job, I folded and glued the tabs on the covers. Steps that I never account for. They seems so simple. But they take hours. Afterwards, I had 30 neat... (Read More)
Day 6: ph-neutral glue, is it made from horses?
November 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Glued 30 book boards to the covers today. I guess these book aren't vegan, in case anyone is wondering. There's beeswax in the thread, also. Actually, it's a combo of beeswax and a little parafin, since there was a little of that in the waxpot. So... (Read More)
Day 5: At SFCB
November 11th - via: kickstarter.com
Got to the Center for the Book at 9. Found a parking place close by. Such a miracle. I've had to park more than a dozen blocks away in the past. Cut book boards. Trimmed the copies I had bound. That was the main reason for going. The secondary reason... (Read More)
Day 4: kind of quiet
November 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Woke up to find the books dry from gluing last night. They looked nice. The t-shirt material I used for the binding tape set nicely. Picked up paper and glue. Julie drove me around for that. Many thanks to her. Dropped off paper at the printer's... (Read More)

12 more book blocks sewn today. That's 20 total. I think I want to have 40 done before I head to the city to trim the book at the guillotine cutter at SFCB. I can cut all my book boards at the same time. Might also print up a little dust jacket and... (Read More)
