DAS Bookbinding

The #kettle-stitch is used by bookbinders to join sections or signatures together.

Sewing on recessed, or sunken cords was a technique used mostly in the 19th century. See my full video on the subject to learn how this technique is done.

In the video Flexible Binding in Full Leather Part 4, I expressed the view that fraying out cords was the most tedious job in bookbinding. I mentioned that it can potentially be made easier with a fraying shield. Since then, just by coincidence, the master bookbinding tool maker Jeff Peachey has released a fraying out shield. In my next big project I'll use it to fray out some cords. But before then I just wanted to make a #shorts video using Baby Shark as the background music.
