Bookbinding Tools Hack: Trimming a bookblock
Trimming a handmade book can be tricky! A traditional bookbinding plough is the ideal for this but what to do if you're making your DIY handmade books with limited space and resources? This trimming hack is perfect. Tools: small hobby press, ply boards, greyboard, and an English leather paring tool. Top Tips: Clamp it tight. Begin with the head or tail. Keep the tool flat and use light pressure - let the tool do the work! Breathe - I forget this a lot! 😬 Repeat for other two sides, leaving the fore-edge for last. Enjoy a glass smooth trim on your new handmade book block.
