I think I remember you have the Szirmai...Hi Piami,<br /><br />I think I remember you have the Szirmai - Book. It's in there in figure 4.1. But I may be wrong, so I'll try to comprise it in a few words. The idea of the construction is not so difficult: <br /><br />Holes:<br />-------- <br />You punch three (or Szirmai does four, for a thicker, wooden cover) tunnels/holes in to your cover. Two of them are perpendicular to the cover, between them you see the thread wrapping. The third runs from the middle of the fore edge of the cover in an angle through it and out of the first perpendicular hole on the top of the cover. (Szirmai describes a fourth tunnel that shares the same hole on the fore edge of the cover and exits on the back of the cover through the hole of the first perpendicular hole.)<br /><br />Sewing:<br />-------- <br />From out of the first signature you guide the thread through the hole at the fore edge out of the perpendicular hole, wrap around and between the two holes several times (we did three) and out through the slant tunnel and into the next section.<br />The front cover is attached the same way after the last signature is sewn, but then (obviously)does not enter the next section but the one before and is knotted there.<br /><br />I hope this made sense:-) Otherwise I'll come back to you in an Email and with more words and sketches.Büchertigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720870005097703428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142490853254351140.post-51343654728982374762009-05-25T01:13:43.477+02:002009-05-25T01:13:43.477+02:00I can see from Dymphie's post that you tried blind...I can see from Dymphie's post that you tried blindtooling, too!

You were able to take a class with Nina Judin...Gah! You were able to take a class with Nina Judin! I wish it were me. And that particular binding is so intriguing to me, I just bought a book with that kind of coptic stitching, I can't figure out how the attachment to the boards work. Can I find instructions anywhere??<br /><br />Your book is lovely! And I can relate to everything you say about being unfocused and rushing your work. I feel like I'm always like that, not being able to just enjoy. :-(Piaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142490853254351140.post-67942158254000723482009-05-19T09:18:00.000+02:002009-05-19T09:18:00.000+02:00Thanks, Dymphie!
