Make Your Own Paperback Using Basic Tools // Adventures in Bookbinding

In this video I demonstrate how you could make your own paperback book using basic tools you probably have at home.

Sorry this video is late. I got caught up trying to do fancy graphics in the editing. As you can see, I failed.

These videos are only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated.
