That's fantastic, definitely something I'll have to try out on a few books of mine (I've seen this applied to the Harry Potter series, and I'm in love with that idea.) But, what I'm referring more to is the idea of, as the author put it, "building my own cutesy journal with expensive hand made paper and fancy stitches", minus the expensive hand-made paper part.

Could you direct me to a few resources for that? It'd be much appreciated!

Hey there, all. So, I'm absolutely enamored by the idea of thick, leather bound books, with tooled covers and such... How is this done? Is this actually a thing, or just a fanciful imagination or misconception? Any advice or references are appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there, all. I'm Matt, and have recently developed an interest in leatherworking. I'm primarily interested in pouches (the possibles pouch tutorial vid by Ian Atkinson on youtube has been extremely informative), armor for LARP/SCA, and bookbinding (something about having a bookshelf full of journals with tooled leather covers is absolutely enthralling to me). That being said, I'll definitely try to put up some pictures of things I make as they come up... Whenever I start. I don't even have tools yet. The downsides of being 20 and broke. In any case, hope to hear from you all, and I'll do my best to learn what I can. Thanks!
