This was amazing! First time seeing this channel. I really enjoyed her energy and the craftsmanship that went into making this. I must say though, it's immensely unsatisfying that the books were slightly different sizes. If only she had the tools to cut a half millimetre off each side. I'm not even sure how you'd accomplish that though... Clamps and a planer maybe?
Can't say I was ever interested in bookbinding before, but I'll definitely have to check out more of this channel.
Yeah, I'm a big fan of Martina's energy too. It's always so upbeat, even when things go wrong. I've posted a few other video from the channel if you want to see more:...

But those are just ones I thought people here might find interesting... most of which they clearly didn't. :( So I highly recommend just browsing channel video page and watching the ones that pique your interest. You can't really go wrong, IMO, since I can't think of a single one in recent memory that didn't impress me, or that I didn't enjoy. E.g. The car she gave her brother was impressive... and hilarious. :P
You can kind of treat big stacks of paper like they're solid wood but I think a plane(r) might be a little aggressive. I once made a knife for a bookbinder and it was essentially a skew chisel...
You can kind of treat big stacks of paper like they're solid wood but I think a plane(r) might be a little aggressive. I once made a knife for a bookbinder and it was essentially a skew chisel without a handle so you lay the flat of the blade on the paper edge and slide the cutting edge over it. There's almost certainly a name for it in bookbinding but I don't know what it is - one of those, very, very, very sharp, should do the job.
I think Nerdforge are at their best when they're making "real" things, like in this video. I don't enjoy their "prop" builds quite so much because 95% of the time it's just some shaped and painted foam. Like the set this video was filmed on. Very skilfully shaped and painted foam but still, not so satisfying for me.
