Building a Book Press (Kydex, leather, paper)
I built this press to help me in future book binding projects as well as leather and Kydex projects. What do you think I should build with it? Also for those who are asking, the threaded rod is actually just a leveling leg for a scaffolding. It works surprisingly well. Link below.

It didn’t take long to realize this project is way beyond my skill level. But it was so fun to watch, I stayed. Great job.
Nice press and great attention to detail. As for the Safety Sallies, in a few years their kids will still be in the house playing video games while your daughter will be working along side you in your shop!
Cherish all the moments you can with the little one. Because tomorrow she will be graduating high school.
LOVE that your daughter is hanging out with you. Good parenting my friend - you're doing it right.
Nice upload... well explained...and an adorable apprentice! Thank you.
Shes adorable. I'm glad your showing her all these projects and nice job on the press.
Picked up some good tips as I'm thinking of making one,thanks.
GREAT video! Very informative and entertaining!
Love the ball hitch weights...and the split washer attaching the foot-plate is ingenious...Solid job!...now bend some kydex.
Just did actually. New video friday
Love your sense of humour subbed & liked, you are setting the bar very high for any boy how dates your girl in years to come she will say hay I was cutting dovetails by the time I was 5 dude!!! 👍🏼 thanks for sharing
great project, great video, beautiful daughter, thanks for calling out the idiots! subbed!
Great press!
An apprentice lol...this is gorgeous I've just started to make books so this was very interesting for me...I made my own press very small and nothing like yours but I'm happy...since I only do journals and make pads of paper it was easy to make.
Nice! I really want to make a journal at some point. I havn't figured out how yet
Flat Banana!! That's the name of my Zombie's Cover Band. Great build and a very cute shop foreman you have there.
Nice job!
It's time to move on to fine work and create a professional calligrapher's workplace.😎
Adorable shop helpers are an essential for every project.
Very cool press , I made one fifteen years ago for kydex pistol holders but not that nice as yours . Mine works great , will be using it for knives in a few months to finish out my 11 knives I started three years ago , had some medical issues to deal with , nice to see you trying to teach your daughter what it like to make something with your hands . Years ago real men used their hands to earn a living, computers are good but to make something without a computer is a real gift , nice job , enjoy your daughter they grow up fast !
This is AWESOME. I would love one. And ignore people, they all think they know everything and they don't. At least you spend valuable time with your daughter and she's learning wood working and will be an excellent builder one day😆. You should sell some🤷.
What a good helper you have.
You could incorporate a sealed thrust bearing for smooth operation and increased downward force.
awsome
Gots love the aspiring apprentice Lady🤩😍✨💫❣️ Ps where would I purchase a lead screw? Oh next project make me one😁jk
Bit late to the party here. Amazing project! Also a bit tired of the safety police. If they could have their way there would be no adults, no making of anything. Padded rooms and helmets for everyone! Thanks for making and sharing great content!
How about a book binding holder clamp like the one that hold the unbound leaves or sections so they can be cut/shived even.
I recognize your sense of humor, "It looks a little bit like this!"
You're a good dad!🎉
How about a bit of both? A leather bound book!
Yes. I agree. If I do bind a book it will probably be in leather
Awesome project! I would love to learn how to make kydex holsters. Can I come over and use your press? Your press should do a much better job that the presses that are hinged on one edge and clamped on the opposite side.
Of course. I've used that kind before too. I made one a few years ago and they work okay. I've always wanted to build one like this because of the parallel clamping.
I was wondering if you would make a video of doing a wood stock for a rifle out of a log🤷🏼♂️😭
Would you consider making one of those to sell?
More book binding equipment maybe a plough...
nice but where did you get the large screw elements and where would i get one?
There is a link in the description to one you can buy. I got mine from Home Depot I think. It's a scaffolding leveling leg
"and then the babAPPRENTICE wanted to help" Me as an apprentice "ouch"
Watchin this like "So cool, what a great project. AHH A BABY BY SHARP THINGS. It's ok it's ok it's ok it's ok... Cool technique! SKATEBOARDING WITH SHARP THINGS?!? BABY BY SHARP THINGS?!? It's okaaayyyyyyy." Then I remembered to take my meds. Thank you.
lol. You got me rollen
Daddy! I know!! Let's make a Master Switch for all the power tools! Several little secret switches would be nice. Thank You, Daddy.
Does this still hold up well?
It does! Nothing's broke yet
Press HDPE blanks.
Leather
Books please
That has been on my to do list for so long... I'll try to do one soon
This guy sounds like he's from Utah.
Industrial Psychologist?
Is it just me, or is the voice over not matching with the action?
The safety Sally's need to mind their own damn business
You had me until you started recording the sound of you eating. That isn't asmr that's GROSS.
it is a bad idea to have kids in the shop
Daddy! I know!! Let's make a Master Switch for all the power tools! Several little secret switches would be nice. Thank You, Daddy.
