(wall of text follows)Bookbinders’ YT channels give good instruction in book repairs, but getting all the equipment to start was daunting, especially the cost for, say, just a plastic bone folder (not for folding bones, o/g made out of bone, now usually plastic, though you can still get bone ones).You still have to get large-scale supplies like chipboard & cover material, also the big tools, like a press, but two boards & a couple of C-clamps can do a lot for now. So can a couple of covered bricks, or a flower press. Depends on project size.If you don’t recognize what you need each of these for, keep learning. I received:*****20cm ruler, 8″ on the back, hole in end for hanging, as there is in the soft plastic holster. One edge on the American side goes down to 1/32ndths for finicky measurements, The other is divided in tenths of inches, to 1/20ths. My first decimal-inch ruler!*****Straight & curved bone folders, normal size, in a plastic cover. These can actually wear out & ten years from now you will need new ones.***2 flower shapes, the heads of wire needle-threaders, in a zip bag. Learn to thread without them, because wires don’t last long. Or buy cheap ones by the bag.*Gold-colored thimble, the shortest I ever saw (15mm), & the widest (16mm). This is for someone with no nails & huge finger tips. Thimbles are like shoes: you have to find ones that fit you. Oversized thimbles are unsafe for pushing a needle hard. They can tilt suddenly so the butt of the needle slides off & jabs you, sometimes drawing blood. If you aren’t pushing hard, you don’t need a thimble! Packed with the threaders. A thimble plate on a handle would be more useful, as needing no fitting.*Leather covers for thumb & forefinger. To prevent soreness? Even in my years of hand-stitching 12-yard skirts or entire shirts or gowns on a regular basis, I never got sore. As to fit, I have little hands: the thumb cover fits me snugly & the finger cover almost too tightly. Average adults won’t be able to use them, let alone big hands like my husband’s. I’ve never seen these used by anyone.*****4 plastic tubes of waxed thread, in white, grey, taupe, & brown.****6 large & 6 small upholstery needles, in a zip bag. This looks like a lifetime supply, but I haven’t done bookbinding with them, just sewing & millinery.*****3 each of 3 sizes of large-eye, round-tip needles (tapestry needles), in a hard plastic case with a screw-on top. They don’t have to be sharp, so will probably never wear out.****3 binder clips, 1.25″/32mm across. You may have more; you’ll need them for most projects.*****1 pair of snips, to cut thread, spring-loaded to open. The hard cover on the tips keeps them closed for storage. Nicer & sharper than any of the pairs I own, which are the all-metal medieval/Japanese style. Best thing in the set; going straight to my sewing box.*****Plain awl, dark handle, with plastic tube covering the point. Nice safety note. Used a lot & may eventually need re-sharpening.****Needle awl, light handle, plastic-tube point cover. Haven’t seen one of these used for bookbinding, just leathercraft.This is all we get. The tape in the description above must be left from some other kit’s description as must the glue brush and binding ribbon.These tools deserve good storage. Most will fit in a 7″/17.75cm (inside) box, but the straight folder & ruler are too long. That used an 11″/28cm long box I could empty, with the smaller box inside. It leaves room for additions, like a small box saw & a spool of linen cord when I get it. The upholstery needles need an oversized needle folder, paper or fabric. [...]
