I was asked to make an empty book for journal writing recently. I achieve this by slicing up a used book and re-filling the cover with some strudy writing paper.
I have not done one of these for several years so I went hunting through some of my old sketchbooks to find the instructions. It did not turn out half bad for my being a little rusty. A big thanks to my friend Grady for building me a vice and harness for the gluing process.
