Thanks. Something like this could be made into a photo album or diary. Mine is a sketch book.
Still have to figure out the best way to do the wood hinges.
I am getting closer to the final design. Getting the hinges straight is still being a pain. This sketch book is for my daughter. She loves all things DaVinci.
I like it,,, I can see many different uses for this ... All the ideas running through my head is giving me a headache ... Ha

That is awesome Oscar! Well done!
Thank you. I am now working on my other daughters book. And as I was hammering the tacks in I believe I cracked one of the dowel hinges (dang it..have to re-drill out and replace all the wood dowels).
Still fine tuning the design and build processes. Don't know how well they sell but books this size are listed for $200+. I just saved 400 dollars. woohoo!
It only cost me a new sewing machine (wife wouldn't let me use hers) and a full set of leather working tools.
I can also see why they are so expensive. I could have built two chests in the time it takes me to make one of these. Once I have the design down and fine tune the different steps I should be able to reduce building time.
Finished my second daughter's book. I did crack one of the dowels but it is still functional so I won't replace until it fails. Did a different pattern with the leather and I like it better than the first pattern. I guess more leather is always good.
Oscar,
Both books are outstanding creations! DaVinci would be impressed with your creation!!
lol. DaVinvi is probably rolling in his grave at my poor attempts but thank you.
Oscar, I want to be you when I grow up in wood working and what you do with the software (well, maybe a blend of you and Suzanne) Your stuff is amazing.
Looking at the weight of the covers, do you think that it would benefit from dowels a little bigger diameter? Already deconstructing for a gift for my daughter, a photographer.
