Japanese Binding in Boards Part 3 of 3

All the pieces are done and it is time to finish binding the book. There are a lot of operations in this video that you may never have seen before, the use of binding clamps, drilling holes and using a board and pliers to move the sewing needle. The pliers I use have nylon jaws and are available where tools for the jewelry trade are sold, they are designed to grip and shape metal without marring the surface.
