We R Memory KeepersJournal Book Binding Punch Guide Set, Includes Guide, Awl, Curved and Straight Needle, Waxed Thread, Japanese Stitching Template and Storage, for Japanese and Copic Bound Books

This tool is perfect for nerds that like to bookbind fanfictions. Included is the hole punch guide, as well as a tool to actually punch the holes, both a straight needle and curved needle, a small booklet with different types of stitches, and enough beeswax thread to bind 3-6 fanfics (depending on how many pages each fanfic is).

I just got my book binding punch board tool and haven't used it. I watch several YouTube reviews before purchasing so I'm confident it will save me time in creating my watercolor field journals which I sell.

This terrific and cost-effective book-binding cradle takes all the guess work out of placing and punching holes for any bookbinding project. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced bookbinding artisan, this is a terrific tool!Your line of stitches will be straight on your spine, and the holes will be even. Using SeaLemon's trick of marking ONLY the holes you need for the project at hand with a wet-erase-able pen means you always know exactly which mark to punch your awl through. It's got 1/4th inch spaced holes in both the cradle section and in the flat 3-column section.The ONLY thing that would make this better is if it was a little bit longer! But you can still do a longer book spine by shifting it down for the second half. It has approx 8.5 inches of punching holes.Compared to other book cradles out there, this is under half the price, and will solve all your book-punching worries:* No holes under your spine onto the surface below* Straight line of spine and book signature hole alignment* A guide secures your paper/s* Perfect Spacing* Supports multiple signatures, tooAnd it COMES with your basic bookbinding needs in a small felt pouch:* straight handled paper awl* curved needle* straight needle* thread - which is better for practice than final good projects. Get some better thread after you get good at this :)* The teeniest, tinyest set of instructions you have ever seen. You'll want to find the PDF and download them. And then you will want to refer to some YouTube tutorials about using it, because a video is worth 1000 diagrams for book binding stitches.Save yourself a bit of time and trouble and put that energy into making more beautiful big and little books! This is two big THUMBS UP from me!

I like it, but there is room for improvement.I really wish the holes were numbered.Second, I dislike the top plastic piece being tinted blue. It makes it hard to see the crease in the signatures.Third, it would make things easier if the top piece was hinged to close down on the signature. The signature has a tendency to shift slightly by the time you get one of the screws in.Overall I like it, but it really needs tweaking to be perfect.

The perfect kit for book binding and poking signature holes.Thank goodness they sent waxed thread too because the thread I had was not good enough. I ended up using almost all of this thread on one book.I’d also recommend using a larger hole poker because the one they sent pokes tiny holes.

Its small and you can only use for an 8 Inch spine. Its so lightweight it’s awkward and kindda flimsy. The Track doesn't have much of a ‘valley’ to keep the paper in place while trying to punch. And the piece that goes over the punch area is extremely light , shallow and narrow that it keeps falling off while trying to fasten it in. The little screws are short and hard to screw in. I gave up. Can’t punch more that 3 pieces of scrapbook paper at a time. The punch tool is not a true awl and not sharp. The needle is short, i highly recommend purchasing your own longer heavy needle. All in all it really isn’t of good quality.

This set is great for the price,it has helped me on my book binding/scrapbook journey quite a bit! Easy to use, and comes with a few extra items you can utilize.

I have watched tutorials, I have seen Paige Taylor Evans make the cutest little mini albums by binding them with colorful embroidery floss and charms. I loved the look but, wasn't willing to cut my chipboard, punch the holes and basically have to make a template for each book I wanted to make, so I gave up. The idea of so much work before it even began to look pretty discouraged me from trying any book binding. I can across this one day and thought I would search for tutorials and perhaps some inspiration. That was the best idea I had ,had in a while. I quickly got excited as YouTubers showed how to videos and shares of the cutest mini albums, books, journals and notebooks using this tool. I gave it a shot and purchased this tool and I'm so happy I did. The instructions are easy to follow and precise but, if you have issues you can always check out YouTube. I love this tool so much, I don't know why I was so scared to try my hand at book bing. My advice to you is get some charms, buttons colorful embroidery thread and a good pair of scissors because, you will want to cut up all your cereal boxes in your home for the chipboard to make your own books. You have been warned, it's really easy and addictive!
