Hello! I'm thrilled to know that so many of you are starting bookbinding and interested in getting the right tools to make the process easier. In the video I try out a beginner kit to make a pamphlet stitch notebook. The 2nd part of the video is more chill as I introduce new pressing tools to the studio. I'm already using these a lot so far! I hope it's interesting and helpful to you!

At 5:35 I meant to say 1/4 inch of the awl, not a quarter of the awl! I also forgot to mention that she includes a link to a video tutorial in the PDF.

I'm not sponsored by papercraftpanda, I just wanted to share a great product by a fellow bookbinder that would be useful to any beginner. If you want to cut heavier materials like book board, getting a larger OLFA knife would make cutting easier. Overall I think it's a great value and the tools can be used for many years to come.
