Somehow (not paying attention) I measured the spine too wide so I had to cut out the middle 5mm, put in a new spine and re-cover the area to hide the seam. It looks better than had I not messed up, so I guess happy accidents do happen. :// #bookbinding

CHKD thrift store had a short stack of old issues of Dragon -
probably a little overpriced for thrift, but still well worth it.

Finally hit mythic in @mtgarena.com with a couple of days to spare. Golgari Toxic for most of the run but switched to mono red for Diamond (my apologies). Tense scenes the last couple of matches.

Headband and end papers added - I’m putting new pages in a vintage cover where I guess end paper alignment wasn’t really their thing, so it’s as close as I can get to square. /// #bookbinding

All sewn up; mull is on (not pictured), so I’m done until tomorrow. Sewing heavyweight paper isn’t so bad, it’s just that there are so many signatures because I could only do two sheets in each one. Even still, the folds look like someone took a rasp to them. /// #bookbinding

Cutting signatures - FYI 140lb sheets don’t like being folded, much less two sheets together. /// #bookbinding #diy
