Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable bookbinding positioning - not just for beginners

This amazing and economical bookbinding stand takes the guesswork out of placing and punching holes for any bookbinding project. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced bookbinder, this is an amazing tool! Your stitch line will be straight down your spine and the holes will be even. With the SeaLemon trick of marking ONLY the holes needed for the project with a wet-erase pen, you'll always know exactly which mark to poke the awl through. It has holes at 1/4 inch intervals in both the cradle section and the 3 post flat section. THE ONLY thing that could make it better would be if it was a little longer! But you can make the spine even longer by sliding it down for the second half. It has about 8.5 inch punch holes. Compared to other bookends, it is less than half the price and solves all your letterpress problems: *No holes under your book spine on the surface below *Straight spine line and book signature hole alignment*Guide holds your paper in place*Perfect spacing*Also supports multiple signatures AND it COMES in a small felt pouch with your basic bookbinding needs: * straight-handled paper awl * curved needle * straight needle * thread - this is better for practice than for finishing good projects. After you get the hang of it, you'll find a better theme : )* The smallest and tiniest guide you've ever seen. You should find and download the PDFs. And then you should watch some YouTube tutorials on how to use it because the video is worth 1000 tie stitch patterns. Save yourself some time and effort and use this energy to create more beautiful books big and small! It's two big BIG STICKS UP from me!
