Making A Handmade Book Part 4 Paring Applying Leather

In this video I take the case I made in Part 3 and apply its leather coverings. This book will have an alternate version of a half binding, in which the fore edges are covered in a single strip of leather, rather than just the corners. In the next video I will wax and burnish the decorative marbled paper before applying it to the cover and assembling the finished book I did experience some camera issues while filming this video, so I apologize for the grainy quality from about 1:25 to 2:36. Timestamps 0:10 marking out where the leather will go. 0:32 measuring for the spine leather with paper. 1:06 making templates for selecting leather. 1:34 selecting and cutting the leather. 2:44 paring the leather pieces. 4:32 wetting out the leather and applying wheat paste. 7:03 applying the leather to the case. 9:14 trimming and turning in the corners. 12:28 weighing down the case to dry.
