My workspace is certainly modest compared to a traditional book bindery, and missing some of the heavier equipment one would find there: a board chopper, guillotine, large book presses, a letter press, numerous brass hand tools… However, I feel very well-stocked, and rich indeed, when spending time in my bindery space!
- My lying press, plough and backing boards finally arrive from England!!
- A book block coming out of the press… the edges cut clean by the plough… ready for binding
- Threads and needles for sewing
- Pricking cradle
- Close up of leather inlays
- Leather inlay
- Brushes and brass hand tools
- Finally I own a flat file cabinet! For storing all my papers…
- Beautiful paper!!
- Paper, book cloth and book board storage
- Overview of my work table
- No scrap left behind…
