VegTan1982rocks Report post Posted August 7, 2023 Hi/Moin, I recently got into leathercrafting and now I want to make a cover for a ringbook. Making reusanle covers for Journals with flexible front and back are no problem. But the ringbook I will be making this for, has a hard back and front and the cover has to be reusable. I am pondering ideas about how to make it so that the book can be inserted and taken out. So far I only came up ideas which include press fastners. Any ideas? Best regards, Lars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wepster Report post Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) If you mean ring binders ie. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Economy-Binder-Showcase/dp/B077X9NMRC/ref=sr_1_11_ffob_sspa?crid=1CDJX5DQQVL08&keywords=ring%2Bbinder&qid=1691404293&sprefix=ring%2Bbinder%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-11-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1 Don't the ring binders front and back generally open almost 180 degrees? so that the front piece and the back piece could touch behind the spine? Well anyway, the two I just looked at here will, thus putting on a cover would be quite easy. Edited August 7, 2023 by Wepster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted August 7, 2023 G'Day, I have almost completed a recipe book cover, front and back for a client using 'hinged Split rings' , (google that) .They come in different sizes , I am using 32 mm . Basically I have made lined hand stitched leather covers sightly bigger than A4 and to accommodate the holes on A4 the pages ( provided) , but no spine. The client can add or remove as many pages as they want. The pic is of a rough diagram that I provided for the client . \ HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
