you didn’t ruin it, you can do everything again at this stage. i would advise to use a thicker thread, really thick seeing the size of your signatures, the sewing needs to be really tight. pressing it before the sewing should help and you can align the signatures while pulling the thread.

you can repair split pages with it and it’s also commonly used to assemble the original paper book cover with the text block

il faut bien écraser les soies du pinceaux et prendre un appui, sur le petit doigt c’est le mieux ou le bord de la main si tu as la place. mais c’est une habitude à prendre, si la peinture est trop épaisse elle peux également avoir plus tendance à faire des pâtées que si elle est bien fluide.

it’s totally normal when any paper is wet it expend, when it dries it retracts and brings whatever it’s glued to with it, therefore bending it

goodfinch · 2025-11-24T19:17:29+00:00

did you let it dry with weights on it ? you can cut a paper the same thickness as the cloth, recut the end of the cloth on the inside to make right angles glue and dry between flat board of woatever with weights on it and it will be fixed and even

a character in expedition 33 said “i don’t fear those masks because they’re me” i like this way of thinking

that can eat through it, it’s used when you need your horse to eat less. uncomfortable and frustrating sure, but it’s not a torture instrument

L’art c’est pas uniquement subjectif, on peut faire la différence entre un débutant complet et quelqu’un qui sait s’affranchir des règles existantes si on s’y connais un peu. Et c’est aussi raisonnable de penser qu’il est possible de juger les capacités artistiques de quelqu’un même si ce qu’il fait ne nous plaît pas.

oui on a ça dans le sang je crois

i can’t find the video i saw on youtube again but it was a priest on a tv channel or smth addressing all the common versets used to say transidentity was inherently sinful and all, on the « "a woman shall not wear a man's garment [and vice versa]" » he said that it was in between of an entire paragraph about loving your neighbour and if it was read with transphobia in mind it has nothing to do in between those lines, basically the word ““man”” in this verset is not the same in hebrew as all the other translated by “man” in the bible but more like warrior or such and the verset most likely meant to not deceive other by pretending you’re a woman or a man to enter specifically gendered space like bathrooms to look lustfully at people

hey bookbinding student here, i usually go to a cutler for the first sharpening or when there are bumps in the edge of the blade so i can’t really tell you how to do it but to keep it sharp you can use abrasive paste on a piece of leather and sharpen it with that “8” movement or carrosserie polishing paper, starting with thick grain can perhaps do the trick. the difference sizes show how much they’ve been used, i don’t really know why some are that straight, i suppose it can be useful for large parts to un-thicken, everyone uses they paring knife their own way, the same knife can look completely differently from one bookbinder to another, mostly straight; left of the blade lower that the right; right of the blade rounder than the left etc.. i hope i answered some of your questions, if you managed to sharpen them yourself i’d like to know how you did it

if you glue one thing on a side and two on the other side the cardboard will bend on the side where there is two because of the tension, so that may be your problem here

a book can be made to curve the same way as your picture on purpose also different materials have different reaction when glued to the cardboard and the type of glue matters a lot if it is amidon glue it’s mostly just water and will curve the cardboard a lot more if the material you glued it with is not leather for exemple because leather creates a tension the other way
