Making a Portfolio Book Enclosure // Adventures in Bookbinding

Making boxes and enclosures can be a significant part of bookbinding. The #portfolio enclosure is a solid way of protecting a book, documents or prints.

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

The tools and materials I use can be purchased from specialist suppliers and manufacturers in my suppliers list. If you are in Australia I have a limited range of items I supply by mail or by pickup from the bindery in Brisbane.

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.
