I can't see how those chapter marks would work. If you opened the book to anything but the bookmark page or the final chapter mark page, you'd pull the other markers free unless they were four or five inches long. You couldn't read out more than one chapter-marked quotation like that, if that was your reason for marking the reference. Maybe it looks like it might work in your easy-folding, thin, large(ish)-format paperback, but remember that leather bookmarks date from the age when hardback books were the only option. Even in your video it's clear that applying all those leather fringes to multiple pages is going to weaken the spine and the way the pages are glued together (rather than pierced and bound, which is one of the reasons why we mostly use card bookmarks or thin leather ones now. That said, the bookmark itself is a very nice item. Can't fault that.

I have that book. I saw the movie first, years ago. I know people always say this, but the book is definitely much better. I finally found the book a couple years ago online, then kept buying until I had the Frightful books too. Most of Frightful books are more like kids' books with loads of pictures and a few words on each page. I got those and got quite a few of the books in the Hatchet series. I enjoyed the Hatchet series too. I went on a reading spree right away too. I'll hush now. I'm a book nerd. :P

I use a Honeysuckle branch I carve and beeswax to burnish the edge's of my leather project's. Also to make clay pipe stems, already have a hollow center you can clean out with copper wire. The strips are called fringe here. US. And back in the day, long fringe coats and pants were used, not only for decoration, but the fringe can be cut seperately to use as we use cordage today in emergency or even to hang a fresh rabbit, bird, or other dinner delicacy to your belt.

Raised Lutheran and those various tabs or chapter markers are on hymnal page markers to mark the various things you'd be singing or reading along with during a service. The program will have the pages and then in the time you have available, you mark all the relevant pages so you're not panicking to find the page when the next thing comes up.

Interesting idea for the fringe. I always thought it was just decorative. I haven't done leathercraft in ages; forgotten how fun it is I have many books online now, but I like the physicality of a book, especially when trying to be more essential, low-tech, earthy. Thanks for the tutorial and the reminder.

When burnishing dampen your edge first. You can use any number of tools for burnishing including cloth, mainly you're looking for friction from the tool, not pressure. For a really nice edge do a water burnish and then use some gum tragacanth and burnish again, this will give you a glossier edge.

For thin leather, I apply water or gum tragacanth to the edge and then lay it down. I then take a piece of canvas and rub the edges while its on the table. Flip it over and to both sides. Ill often finish with beeswax and rub each side down one more time. Cheers

Mike, I am an avid watcher of all your videos but my days of outdoors are gone (age and health) enjoy seeing you young (including dad) bucks out doing it. # Why not make the bookmarks for sale with the TA logo on them I would buy one. Suggest putting the idea out there?

Maybe a quick tip I've seen from other creators I wanted to pass along: when you're done making a project, ask your viewers to make one and then tag you on Instagram, Facebook, etc. You get to see what others make, and they get your name out. Win/win
