Bookbinding Jig


One of the things that I wanted for my birthday was a bookbinding jig. When I was pregnant I looked all over for a baby book and I couldn't find one I liked. I decided that I would make one {here is the beginning of this project}. I had a friend in graduate school who showed me how to bind books so I was already a little familiar. My sweet and handy brother created a jig for me after watching a you tube video. He taught me some carpentry basis as I documented with photos. Thanks again Chad.

Measuring

Drilling holes for the screws.

I screwed those in.

Now to fortify the base and add a few more screws.

The assistants to the assistant.

Final product.
