New Tools!
The tools and equipment I have in my bindery are not accumulated overnight. Every year, I strive to get myself something to add on to my bindery. This year, my goal is to practise gold tooling and to do it better since it is often requested by customers.
I ordered my Student Set from Bookbindesigns. I looked back at the last time I enquired about prices for this Student Set, and it was in early 2017 when I set my eyes on it. It has taken me about 2 years to save for it. These things do not come cheap and a good set is worth every penny paid.
Kevin Noakes is a very good tool maker. I was super happy when I opened the box and inside it was these gleaming 36 pieces of beautiful brass tools. I shall now spend my down time (if there is even any) finishing the wooden handles with a nice polish. I hope to get some tooling done soon!
