GRA170: Book Binding

These 2 book binding assignments were by far, the most challenging and unique projects I've ever taken on. I never thought I would actually build books like these two. The tools used, especially the for the screw post book, were very interesting to use. In order to punch holes through for the screw post book, you had to use a tool that's like a hole puncher on steroids and then you have to whack the top of it with a rubber mallet so the holes get punched through.

After these assignments, I'm far more appreciative and a little less ignorant about the art of book binding. Definitely two assignments that will stick with me for awhile.
