What is a Conservation Book Shoe and How to Make One // Adventures in Bookbinding

Another enclosure used by conservators is the book shoe (#book-shoe). This provides some protection to books on display on shelves without hiding the spine.

The size of the starting piece of card stock is
2xW + T by H + T
H Height
W Width
T Thickness

I'm using 20pt card stock about 0.6mm thick

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow. The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books. The best way to find what you are looking for is the DAS Bookbinding YouTube Channel guide.
