Making A Medieval Book - Complete Process From Start to Finish - 60 hours in 24 minutes
Hi everyone, I’m Dennis, and welcome to my bindery!
In this video you’ll see me undertaking all the various stages of my late medieval gothic binding project. Though I use some modern materials and tools, and have added a few anachronistic highlights, this book is entirely based on the binding structures and techniques that were common in 15th century Europe.
I’ve put this video together to be an easy, one-sitting overview of this intricate project. Since this version condenses over 60 hours of work into about 24 minutes, most of the process has of course been omitted. I’ve added some basic titles to help you understand the various stages, but this isn’t a tutorial and doesn’t have any instructions, material lists, or commentary. If you’d like to take a deeper dive into the making of this book (including a full commentary which you’ll need to **TURN ON CAPTIONS** to see) look no further than my full 5-part (plus bonus episode in which I hand-craft all of the brass hardware used) series, links below. There you’ll find full lists of tools and materials in the video descriptions, and the commentary (again, turn on those captions!) explains every step of the process.
If you’ve enjoyed this video then please consider subscribing if you haven’t yet done so; I do appreciate it! And I’ve got lots of new content in the works, so be sure to hit the bell to get notified when new videos come out!
Thanks for watching!
Dennis
