Episode One: Beginning Again, Again.
Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 25th, 2008 No Comments »
Welcome.
Hopefully this site will help everyone - especially me - improve my podcasting, filmmaking, and bookbinding skills in reverse order. The main theme of Tedorigawa Bookmakers (blog at http://www.tedorigawabookmakers.blogspot.com) is to Project and Display my Works! Of Bookbinding.
How’d I get started? I don’t know. I don’t remember but I wish I did. One minute I was minding my own business and the next thing I know I’m checking out curved needles at the sewing store. Why? Why?! (Well, naturally for certain styles of binding, like coptic, you really do need a good curved needle.) See? Is that anyway for a grown man to talk? Gawdamighty.
(I refuse to go into the discussion I had in a bar one night with this tattooed, liquored up, hairless guy and his Italian cigar-smoking girlfriend. I refuse to say how I steered the conversation into bookbinding and glue. But they were pretty excited to talk about leather, let me tell you. Pity, though, I don’t use dead animal skins on my books. Just wood and paper. And glue. And beeswax. Hmmmmmm.)
I hope to update or cross-post on a regular basis. Famous words.
