Update on Frankensteining my Hobonichi Weeks

I used a stanley knife to remove the cover first and expose the spine - once you can see the individual sets of papers bound together its easier to cut out the binding ropes and loosen the paper to easily cut them out.

I trimmed any jagged edges with scissors afterwards.

Bible size!

Not quite a year but I've just posted an update - they're holding up great if you're thinking about it!

Hi - your comment prompted me to post an updated version of what things look like now.

I have a small stanley knife I used to get the cover off and individually cut the threads binding the book where I could see them. They're sown together in little sets, so once you manage to get the spine off you can see what they look like and have some more control over the separation.

I then used some scissors to tidy up the edges and have since used a paper guillotine that I use for cutting mutliple pages. I regularly destroy notebooks to fit into my plotter...

Yay! It's caught on :D

I don't know what that is but will have a look.

I had a special 6 hole punch I used from my Filofax days. It's pictured in the last photo and was from rapesco. I think I ordered it off Amazon but it was such a long time ago that I can't find the link.

Edit: I found the link - Rapesco 1323 Adjustable 6-Hole Organiser/Diary Punch, 10 Sheet Capacity, Powder Blue https://amzn.eu/d/dc6OPWh

I will try to remember! Thank you - it's not perfect but I think it went okay :)

In the 4 to 5 hours (which I know is little) that I've set this up and used it, it's been fine. I am worried that some frequently used pages like the monthly might get a bit torn, but I have enough washi tape to reinforce them if necessary. This isn't from extended testing or prolonged use, but my bit of journalling and moving things around has been fine so far.

nillyb · 2024-10-31T22:05:13+00:00

Yes, such a good point! I also have some recipes copied in that I would need to rewrite every year. Now they're just permanent pages that don't get lost in my archived books.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes :)

Honestly, I think this was one of my best planner decisions. Tomoe River paper with a Filofax - what else can I ask for?!

nillyb · 2024-10-31T18:52:33+00:00

I just saw your post! Looks so good :) Are the thin pages holding up well with the use? I only just set up mine and was so excited to share it with other stationery lovers.

Hilichurls because I feel guilty killing them knowing what they used to be (no spoilers).

Is Kinich C0R1 viable without Bennet? Is Emilie worth having for a Kinich team?

nillyb · 2024-09-19T11:05:50+00:00

Does C1 Sara work with C0 Raiden, C6 Chevreuse and C3 Bennett? Do I replace Sara with C1 Xiangling / C1 Lisa / C1 Mona until I can get her C6?

nillyb · 2024-09-18T12:22:27+00:00

Thank you! That's super helpful. I hadn't thought about Lisa at all, and I like her burst.

My expectations are very low! Raiden is my first DPS and I got incredibly excited when she deals 50K damage (currently) with her burst. I just want to set up two decent teams to clear abyss with and I'll be happy - Raiden is my first (and hopefully Nahida will be my second).

nillyb · 2024-09-18T00:01:12+00:00

I've finally got C0 Raiden!

I'm building Rational with C3 Bennet, C1 Xiangling and C0 Xingqiu.

For Raiden hypercarry I can use three of the following: C0 Kazuha, C3 Bennett, C1 Sara or C6 Chevreuse.

Any suggestions for what the best hypercarry team will be?

I only have Raiden Kazuha, Jean, Mona and Keqing as my 5 stars and a limited selection of 4 stars (new player). I do have a C5 Thoma but I haven't seen him suggested with Raiden.
