Converting a Paperback to a Hardcover Book Part 1 // Adventures in Bookbinding

In this video I convert a soft cover book to a hard cover book. The book is in sound condition and the paper is good quality. The idea came from a question about converting a modern reprint of an historical cookbook that was Perfect bound with soft covers to something that would not look out of place in a living museum setting (to the eyes of a none book person anyway). Because the original binding is good condition it is left alone. New boards are attached using the split board method using the original covers as the inserts to the split boards. I’m now on Patreon, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated. I also very much welcome and appreciate one-off contributions. This can be done through PayPal The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos
