Alex Ogden, Bookbinder. Monday, December 9, 2013. Explanation of absence and current projects. In this video I explain the work I will be doing soon on two Bibles and also speak about plans for future videos. [On a personal note, I hadn't posted anything here or on my YouTube channel in a long while because of so much going on, including a mild heart attack in May! I'm fine now but have worked hard on my health, including changing my diet and losing 35 pounds! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alex Ogden, Bookbinder: March 2011
http://ogdensbinding.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Alex Ogden, Bookbinder. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. After re-sewing the Bible I then created a new flexible cloth cover using a black cloth with a pebbly grain to it. There was no lettering to be done to this binding since we wanted to reapply as much as possible of the old decoratively stamped cloth cover on top of this new cover. Here you can see the finished book. The new binding provides the needed strength and stability while maintaining the appearance of the original binding. Links to this post.

FINALLY I'm getting around to uploading some videos that might be of interest to aspiring bookbinders. This one is just a general introduction to myself and my bookbinding background.
