Rebinding DUNE - Part 2 - Rescuing A Vintage Book: Custom Endpapers, Backing & Covers
Hello everyone!
My gamble on buying an old copy of Dune paid off, though not without some serious effort to make it so. In this video I’ll finish off the sewn text block with some custom marbled endpapers and woven endbands before strengthening the spine and attaching some covers. Sounds easy, right? Well, compared with repairing every page, I would agree with you! But it’ll still take a lot of careful work, so come along and join me on the journey!
If you missed part one, watch it here: • Rebinding DUNE - Part ...
Or if you'd rather skip to part 3: • Rebinding DUNE - Part ...
Cheers,
Dennis

We are all dying for part 3 brother
I just came back 3 weeks after watching this video because I wanted to post this!!
I've been checking every week since part 2, love these comments haha
Should be this week. Hang in there.
@@FourKeysBookArts very excited, thanks for the reply my friend!
Who need Netflix when you have this 📚
You said it
Because 30 minutes is going to replace endless hours of stuff on Netflix? Also, you can't go between both?
@@gregpenismith1248 I don’t have hours to spend watching Netflix and I find this much more entertaining
Who needs Netflix period. Total junk
@@thefryinallofuscool story. Pretty sure several million people would disagree with you. Edit: Dude, you have no room to talk. You play Star Citizen and believe in fairy tales like the bible.
One hundred years from now and more, long after we're all gone, this book will likely still be in someone's library, bringing great joy. Looking forward to your next installment in its making.
Or along the way someone will throw it in the trash because "books are for nerds lol"
@@RJiiFin Well, R. Jii Fin... *Does those books' 📖📘 are still for some nerds* 🤓 out there, and *that someone's will callously throwing it right into the trashcan 🗑 because of THAT reason* by then?
this book is an investment piece. It'll be setting in a collectors library hundreds of years from now, slowly inflating in value.
This is like watching good, old fashioned television where you’re really, really excited for the next episode - and you have to _wait_ for it to be broadcast. As the episode was about to end, my mind went ‘Noooo, but I want to watch more!’ You have such a comforting, pleasant voice and the pacing of your videos is just top notch. Thank you!
I completely agree!
I shouted at the TV 😂 can't wait for the next one.
He pulled a Villeneuve on us. Turning what we thought was one sitting into three glorious installments.
The beauty of marbling is that not only can it be used to print unique and gorgeous paper designs, it can also be used to print fabrics in particular silk to create lovely textiles, and can even be used, with variations in the depth of the size bath, to paint 3D items too
Absolutely! I haven’t done much textile marbling, though I have experimented with ceramics and leather. It’s a really versatile medium.
Video! video! About cutting book
This is looking like another heirloom -- the whole thing is gorgeous, but those endpapers are perfection for this particular book.
Beautiful work! The marbled end papers could not be better chosen!
Thank you! Cheers!
Okay, that marbling? With the leather? Gorgeous. Just GORGEOUS! And it so fits the theme. This book is going to be absolutely marvelous and I am consumed by envy. In the best way possible.
One Denis creates a film of Dune, the other Denis binds a book of Dune. That's awesome, I've never seen this process before, it's fascinating. Thank you!
I’ve never been so engaged by someone’s raw talent, passion and mastery of their Art. Thanks so much for this series!
I’m checking for part 3 daily😢
Thank you for taking the time to record this for everyone
Omg it’s here 😍😍🤩 I’ve been checking your page almost everyday for this video
Hope you enjoyed it!
Glad I'm not the only one that has been checking for part 2!
This is the Dune Part 2 I’ve been waiting for
I wish I could see it in person! It looks so gorgeous, Dennis. Thank you for sharing your artistry and craftsmanship with us.
My pleasure!
Even on camera the burnishing really brings out the colour on your paper! Incredible piece of craftsmanship thank you for sharing your work!
i am genuinely vibrating in anticipation for part three
This Dune: Part Two is just as good as the Hollywood one
The marbling design could not have been more perfect!
I know complaining about a three-week gap in uploads is incredibly whiny but gosh darn it I am so excited for the next part I’m dying. I hope your next upload is planned soon!!!
You simply cannot find this much dedication anywhere in life any more. Fantastic, exquisite work sir!
Man, these sort of videos make me realize how much I take books for granted.
How insane is the internet that we get to watch a master work like this???
That marbled paper is gorgeous! This book is going to be beautiful!
Who knew i needed this in my life at 10:48pm at night
Hi Dennis, that's so impressive, and absolutely brilliant!! I watched parts 1 and 2 straight off....and it's now 3am in the UK. Looking forward to part 3! Best regards!!
I hope you can pass your talent along to an apprentice. This is a skill that should never be lost. Looking forward to part III
You have mad skills! This is actually very exciting - I can’t wait for part 3!!!!
Great narration, engaging content, and wonderful filming. A masterful video!
Wow, thank you!
This book would cost a kidney, but rightfully so, when one see that much of a work put into it.
Howdy, after Part 1 Rebinding I now want to see Dune part one again ... Wonderful video - clear and concise instructions - love it. Thank you. I agree these end papers are perfect.
That sand dune paper marbling is crazy!
You have to watch this whole video purely out of respect for this guys dedication to perfection.
F Yeah, you will see me for part 3! I'll be watching everything else on your channel in the meantime. ❤
Your end papers are simply gorgeous. The entire process is fascinating, but as a paper marbleizer myself, I’m particularly impressed by the end papers.
I absolutely love your channel. The skill and patience you have just blows my mind. you sir are very talented.
Craftsmanship is always a good watch
Exquisite craftsmanship and creative designs. Inspired me to complete a project that I started in Art School many years ago and a couple of new projects stirring in my heart and mind. Thank you for your beautiful video.... I look forward to seeing more. 📚📖📜❤
This is a completely different way of binding i havent seen yet. Plus, the quality of the videos are perfect for learning this process!
I discovered this channel with the medieval book binding and it made me want to start learning the art. Thanks to your book binding basics, I made my first leaflet a few weeks ago and I loved every step! Now, following the making of this book inspires me once more. Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful creation and inspiring us all!
I just finished the third book, and I get why it's such a revered series that so many things get ideas from. Loving this project
I have been waiting for this one! This will be a good saturday watch ❤ PS: It was a good watch! I love the absolute attention to detail, be it in the work or the creation of the video and commentary.
I havent had the privilage of reading Dune. I used to watch the original film a lot as a kid. Seeing you bind this beautiful book makes me want to pick up a copy! Thank you for sharing your amazing process :)
I literally did not have time to watch this video, and I was compelled to watch it anyway. I guess my responsibilities will just have to sort themselves. Amazing
Very excited to see the next steps. The medieval book series was super, the D&D makeover was awe-inspiring, and this one is shaping up to surpass them both! Be careful about constantly raising the bar, Dennis 😆
Yaasssss part 2 finally. So good! Amazing job, Dennis! ❤
it’s incredible to see how much quality of your recording, editing and voiceover have improved in less than a year! amazing job, your videos about art are becoming art themselves!
Thank you so much!!
Dry-fitting the cover boards reminds me of mortise and tendon joinery! 😉👍🏻 Brilliant! SO MUCH to learn here. Very complex process and lengthy process. You could fill an entire book just on how to MAKE or restore a book! But the video is much better. Seeing it actually done in real time is AMAZING?
As stoked for Dune (the bookbinding) part 3 as I am Dune part 3
love this series! I don't think I've seen a good endband tutorial before can't wait for the next part
You are a magnicifent artist! This will be a beautiful book!
Dennis, once again just fabulous work, very good choice for the endpapers, can't wait to see the finished book!
Dennis,this was a truly incredible labour of love to witness- thank you for sharing your process,sir!🏆
Very much enjoyed. Thank you. Looking forward to part lll 🙏🕊
My favourite book, ever. It feels like an old friend. My mother loved to read and encouraged me to read as well as sharing her books with me. I first read it in late elementary school, she and I would have long conversations about it, she would explain the parts I didn't understand...which made it all the more fascinating...so many layers. Miss you, Mum.
Stunning and immaculate per usual! BTW: just noticed you were using a Blackwing pencil. You are truly a man of impeccable taste and a man after my own heart if I’m honest. haha
Last time i watched your video was about year ago and I was very impressed. But not as much as now, you improved the camera work and commentary to 11/10. Amazing work!
I bloody cheer every time the little tappy hammer comes out for the spine 🎉 I love it. One of my fave parts of the process 🥰
Nice - Your craft is amazing, I hope you decide to teach it to someone - Cannot wait for Part 3 - A fan....😎
Truly masterful! Commenting for the algorithm, more people need to see this.
Paper marbling is one of the neatest parts of a book binding. They look like prints yet completely hand-made .Really nice job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
Looking great. And the video itself is beautifully produced. The novel itself certainly deserves such treatment. 👍😁
Brilliant! Looking forward to part three. Thank you so much.
This is my favourite way to REALLY wind down. Grab a nice cup of tea, get a blanket and snuggle up on the couch watching an old book being rebound. Love the videos! Keep up the work ❤
Just wanna say, you've inspired me to pick up a bookbinding kit and try my hand at it. Hoping to make a hobby out of it!
Your work is immaculate! But I must say that, when you were talking about the marbled paper I smiled a little extra. Beautiful work 🥰
Dennis, thank you for your care and time in producing this video, painstakingly documenting your process. I appreciate having a resource like yours in which I can be instructed when I take up my own bookbinding hobby.
My pleasure!
Sir, it is the meticulous attention to detail that you bestow on your work, that separates the true master from the humble craftsman. A Sensei of your craft Sir. Peter. Bristol. U.K.
That marbling is beautiful
That was one of the most mesmerizing things I've watched in a long time. Love the attention to detail. Great work. Thanks for sharing. Need more craftsman like this!
I’ve been looking forward to part 2 of this series 😃
This is crazy. What a craftsman, what artistry. Glad the algo guided me to your channel.
I cannot overstate how much I enjoy getting to watch you work. Your passion and artistry are phenomenal, your vids beautifully shot, and with the voiceover explaining the process, just *chef's kiss* The leather joint against that marbled endpapers is going to look SO good!
This is so unbelievabley cool. Master Craftsman at work.
I've gotten so much more enjoyment watching this, to me the book is dryer than the desert world it's set in.
Let’s goooooo! I can never wait for the next part 😂
I keep checking back to see if you've updated, I love seeing your work ❤
I liked seeing the side by side comparison of the paper after burnishing, It makes the colors stand out.
I would KILL for those endpapers 😭😭
Man, you nailed it with those end papers! They’re perfection! ❤🎉❤🎉
I’m really enjoying this series because you’re taking it to a level far beyond what most of us can ever hope to achieve. Your video qualities are excellent, with good camera positions and editing. Your narration is great. I’m a creator on two different channels, one of which has had a certain level of success, and I know how hard it is to consistently produce quality videos. These are amazing and I really appreciate your efforts. I bought you a couple cups of coffee; I also appreciate you offering that as a way to support you without having to become a member or create an account somewhere. (Applepay for the win!) Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see part 3!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments! I always appreciate those who see the process behind bringing the subject to life; I do strive to make it as good as I can. And thank you for the coffee too!
I worked for my uncle who did player piano restoration, watching this reminds me of those days, watching glue dry. Really really nice to watch a craftsman at work, thank you for the upload!
Just spent right over an hour watching this and the prior video and it flew by leaving me wanting more! Thankfully this is two weeks old so it shouldn't be very long till the next, I rang that bell to make sure I don't miss it 📚🫶
This was such a treat to watch! I LOVE Dune (hence why this popped up in my recommended) and the craftsmanship is stellar. To own a book so loved, it would be my prized possession❤
I'm very impressed to see a book binder create his own marbled paper. It must be nice to be able to create a pattern that matches with the book instead of trying to find one in some catalog which probably won't have the perfect match.
That marbled paper is stunning
didnt expect part 2 to come so quickly lol
Its truly a blessing to see such craftsmanship! Such an eye for detail, God bless you.
I had just finished watching part 1 and I was bummed when I saw I had to wait for part 2. Luckily, I had subscribed + clicked on the bell lol, I never do that. Amazing work man, can't believe how much I'm enjoying your channel!
I love your detail-oriented work, your skill and dedication to the craft! And your editing style and calm narration as well.
Another amazing video! Tank you for the upload :-D Can't wait for P3.
Perfection as usual, you leave me wordless and humbled by your God given talent.
You should read audiobooks with your pleasant voice Dennis! 😌
I have been waiting for this moment
Amazing job! Your patterned paper are truly tasteful paintings. Congratulations! Cheers
this cover is very complex compared to the others you've shown previously! i like it :D thx for sharing
i dont know why i ran into this series, I don't know why I am so enthralled with it, what I do know is I look forward to the next episode with excitement
Nooo, why’d I think it was only a two parter😭😭 can’t wait for the next one!! Subscribed :)))
If I can't sleep, I now know where to go to find a video that will make me sleep.
