#bookrestoration — Public Fediverse posts

This was the most time consuming & in depth book repair I've done. I disassembled the book, steamed pages, repaired pages with tengucho paper, re-bound the book, & made a new casing. It was my first time doing a rounded spine, so that was a bit scary! There was quite a bit of spine swell due to old adhesive that I wasn't able to completely remove + my own oversight of thread thickness.

Hi Fediverse,

Here's my #Introductions. Awkward maybe and long, but here it is.

I'm professionally associated with the printing technology and industry. Interested in printing, history and anatomy of the book, its parts and physical properties; traditional book binding and everything about it.

Lots of hashtags, but they say that's the way it should be.
