    Before the year is out, I&amp;#39;m going to make a new journal for 2025. Charles Darwin had a notebook that was bound at the head instead of the side. It measured 170 x 130 mm. https://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?itemID=EH88202328&amp;amp;viewtype=text&amp;amp;pageseq=1 The size is perfect for when I would like to insert photos on certain occasions. #bookbinding #journal #notebook

    I finished binding two books in the first two days of 2025! The first is a size A5 notebook done in a variation of the crisscross binding. Each hole has six stitches. #bookbinding #notebook #journal

    @mlanger Same. Which is why a ordered a rectangular hollow punch so I can make cleaner holes rather than use a screwdriver again. The two-string version would probably be better with thicker thread.

    @mlanger I have a punch cradle, DIY and also recently was gifted one bought from Talas. I ended up making punching templates instead as how DAS Bookbinding does it since I found that much easier.

    @mlanger Also, let me know what kind of drill bit you end up using? I&amp;#39;ve been meaning to get drill bits for my bookbinding, but I&amp;#39;m not really sure what to look for.

    @mlanger I do have a couple drills (heavy duty and low powered ones). But the bits I have are large and mostly for masonry. I bought bits for wood when I needed to do a simple project, but again large-ish. If I&amp;#39;m to buy new bits for drilling into a textblock and thick board, I need to know what to get. Do twist bits work?
