Bookbinding - Attempt One: End bands & Leather Cover

The end bands went really quickly. I expected to start them at home and finish up during a local meeting. Well I finished them before I needed to even start rounding up the family to leave for the meeting.

I didn't get many pictures of covering the outside with leather as I could have used a third hand in doing this part.  I'm sure like with everything a little practice goes a long way.

A finished end band.  The extra will be cut off later.

Leather pasted to the outside of the book.

Slightly different view of the drying pressed book.
