It is done!

After letting it dry for two nights, its done!

I used canvas paper for the cover (which was expensive AS HELL, considering I don't have a printer and there's is only one place in my city that prints on canvas paper) I was afraid it would look bulky, because it's a 350g/m², but it actually turned out okay! The golden was hand painted because I didn't find anyone in town that did cri-cut so I ✨️improvised✨️ in the most masochistic way possible. The only thing that went a little wobbly were the end pages — they got a bit wrinkly, but I think that may be because of the paper weight (120g/m²), so maybe next time I'll use a thick paper. Over all, I really happy of how this turned out! I choose not to pass the text block on the guillotine (don't have onr) or cut it by hand (see cut of shame in the last page), but I actually like the look!

Will improve my technics in the future, but I'm actually really happy of how this turned out!

First big biding

This is the first projet that I really went all out for: headbands, rounded spine, canvas cover, etc. Made a book press out of screws and wood planks. Waiting for the graphic to print the book cover but the mockup i did seemed to fit good! First time doing French biding, first time doing French biding with book strips (is this what is called? I'd, English isnt my first language, srry)

I actually think I'm doing okay, considering everything!

update: Finished project here

First time binding - is this salvageable ?

So, it's my first time binding, and I DEFINETLY made it too many pages per signature (15...)

Can I fix this? Will the pages be snug or should I just toss this in the trash and star from scratch?

Me socorram!

Boa noite! Gente comprei esse Polyvox Polysistem e ele simplesmente não quer rodar mais de 20RPM. Estou enlouquecendo e não sei mais o que fazer. Não acho nada na Internet que me ajude a resolver esse problema. Alguém sabe como arrumar? O rádio é o Tapeddck estão funcionando perfeitamente, só o toca discos que não. Muito obrigada!
