BOOKBINDING IMAGES: Improved press.

in #handmade6 years ago

Some results were a bit disappointing, so I made a bigger press. More or less 21 x 21 cm of working area, and 10+ centimetres in width. With four plywood planks that give me three "floors" to press three books at the same time.

An old 1/2" rod put to the service again:

30x30 cm. planks:

Initial tests and truing:

Those bevels are very important to achieve a rounded book spine:

Like this (but this image was taken from a previous work, with a different and simpler press):
