Nice to see.. the bone folder takes me back to my uni days and my first experience of trying to make handmade books. I think I only made two or three at the time and did not pursue it further, something I regret with the benefit of hindsight/old age. I let myself be put off by the difficulty of getting a professional finish when this is something that probably comes with practice. One of my lecturers at the time was a master at it, some nice images and description of one of his bookmaking workshops here: https://www.onlandscape.co.uk/2015/04/john-blakemore-book-binding-sequencing/ If nothing else it's a great excuse to print images as opposed to just viewing them on a screen.
