Rebinding DUNE - Part 3 - Upgrading A Vintage Book: Cover Flap, Magnets & Leather

Hello everyone! In today’s video I’ll be adding some special elements to this copy of Dune before tackling the long and fiddly process of wrapping the entire thing in leather. Stick with me until the end though, because this book is really starting to come together! There will be one more installment in this Dune Rebinding series, in which I’ll be upgrading those plain old endbands I wove in part 2, giving the cover my own custom hand-tooled design, and then capping it all off with a special finishing touch! Thanks for tuning in, and I’ll see you in Part 4!
