Rebinding DUNE - Part 3 - Upgrading A Vintage Book: Cover Flap, Magnets & Leather

Hello everyone!

In today's video I'll be adding some special elements to this copy of Dune before tackling the long and fiddly process of wrapping the entire thing in leather. Stick with me until the end though, because this book is really starting to come together!

There will be one more installment in this Dune Rebinding series, in which I'll be upgrading those plain old endbands I wove in part 2, giving the cover my own custom hand-tooled design, and then capping it all off with a special finishing touch! Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you in Part 4!

Cheers,

Dennis

My Wheat Flour Paste Recipe

2 tbsp (18 g) white flour (strong flour or bread flour preferred)
1 cup (250 ml) water

Combine the flour and water in a double boiler or bain-marie and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Transfer to a clean jar and cool completely. When cooled the paste should be solid, with a jelly-like consistency. Force the cooled paste through a sieve 2-3 times until smooth. Add a bit of water to thin to the desired consistency if necessary. Store in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days.
