Discovered I had one step missing so I made an adjustment in the written instructions on the fifth step.

don't forget page 1- [link]

Gasp! I did all those images on Photoshop with just a regular old mouse. Not fun! Any who here is a fulfillment for a request on "How did you make the giant pirate book." Well, that would take too much time just to tell how to bind the book so I just wrote the basics which could be applied to any size book with any material. So here is and enjoy the knowledge. This technique is my own from which I derived after many years of searching for a good tutorial myself. So I guess you could say this is a combination of many tutorials and many trial’s and errors on my part. This is page two of two cause the file was too huge for Deviant art.

It seems quite odd that just when I was going to go looking for instructions like these - I find your tutorial. Thank you for posting this!

I have been looking for a long time to find a really easy to understand tutorial for a basic book binding method. THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) This will be such a help for me when I start working on book binding projects I've had in mind.
Sweet. :-D Thank you for the tutorial!

So in your opinion, then, a special glue is not needed for the binding other than Elmer's? I have seen everything from flexible cement glue to specially made paste, so I am curious. I have made about 5 books though, and I think for all of the binding I used Elmer's glue as well. (Just don't have access to fancy stuff, here.)

Elmers worked for me. But recently I've become fond of Aleene's Tacky glue just cause it's freakin strong and dries faster. But I've even used Elmers to repair books namely a 100 year old girls magazine bound in a huge book.

Okay, cool! I'm pretty sure that I have seen that at good old Wally-mart. :-) (yay, Super Wall-mart craft section!) And drying faster is good. :-D

Yeah, it's flexable too so that's a plus.

I've been wanting to bind some old books of mine for a while. My question to you is, where did you find the cardboard? The pressed kind. Did you really rip up an old binder? or did you buy it somewhere?

I used to have this really cool siggy. I spent a lot of time coming up with it. It was awesome and so descriptive of me. But still short and to the point.

Deviant art said it was too long...
I found out that Bristol board works pretty well but the best card board is the stuff out of worn out binders but boy its a bugger to cut since it's so hard. I also work at a shoe store so I collect the lids from Airwalk Boxes because those have pretty hard carboard. The thing is, depending on the size of your book depends on the thickness of your cardboard, tiny books really don't need really hard cardboard So basically anything goes for small books. For my humungus book I used masonite, that really hard particle board stuff. I HATE IT! but it got the job done.
Are you binding antique books... or what kind of books are you binding?
