I’m not a big YouTube guy, but this is interesting, and I know a lot of people in here are reading/looking forward to reading Wind and Truth. Her end result is some beautiful (obviously impractical) books that make the regular giant hardcovers look like little baby books.
If you ignore the handful of YouTube-isms it’s a pretty cool video.
edit: adding screenshot of the books compared to the regular ones.
Nerdforge is one of those creators that I stumbled upon years ago, even though their stuff normally falls outside of my niche interests. They are definitely worth the sub.
It looks like some of the other stuff is also cool, but mostly not my thing.
I actually dislike YouTube enough that I couldn’t see my own post because their domains are blocked, lol. It’s not that video is never the right medium, but the vast majority of it is stuff that would be better as a short-medium article. I had someone who knew I’m currently obsessed with Sanderson and really like the aesthetic of leather bound books specifically send me a link, or I wouldn’t have seen it.
If you like bookbinding you might also enjoy. Creator does some crazy detailed videos on "old school"ish binding
And now I need to make a journal I won’t use.
Thanks.
Just need some leatherwork, threadwork, and a month of patience
I’m not good at it. But I do have a lot of leather.
They did a good job on the wheel of time as well.
I need to take another shot at reading those at some point. I was into it for a while, but fell away from it when it got kind of bogged down in the middle.
I thought the process here was really interesting, though. I can barely resist spending a stupid amount of money I can’t justify on all his regular leatherbounds and am a big fan of leatherworking in general (though my “projects” are super basic). The stress of trying to perfectly bind my singular licensed printing of a book like this would kill me lol, but it was cool to see how they set it all up.

I had that experience. I tried reading it again (starting over because it had been so long), but fell away from it again when it got kind of bogged down near the beginning.
I may try again soon (without starting over). Wish me luck.
