Ah the machinery.
Still needs the human hand.
And here is the end result. If someone wants a book made from scratch, here is it. Many of the books that come in only need to be rebound.
Getting the curve, there is a machine involved here as well, I love seeing the craftsman’s hands.
Ahh, a Juki, an industrial one of course. 
The shop was full of embossing dies, these get used often. 
Nice to see this fellow as well.
Two of my sons fenced, so I was thrilled to find this.
These wonderful rotary cutters are used to cut leather.

All kinds of materials used for the actual binding.

Not just colored foil, holograms as well.
Beside someones work bench. I love everything about this.
