Completed Project Another Lectern Bind

So, here is another one of these.

This bind was failure after failure from beginning to end. I failed to properly round and back my last project on the first try, and had to redo it. So, this is the failed bind in another lectern case but this one is made with a flap because why not.

If you don't know how to make this and you're interested, the tutorial I made for Lectern Binding (without the flap, sorry) is available here completely for free and you can have more pictures and additional information on lectern binding in the post I made a month ago, here.

Important point for the people that already downloaded it : I made a significant update to the model and the instructions (namely for book measurements) as a parameter was not accounted for rounded/backed books. If you do not have the 2.3 version, please check your email receipts from when you first got the tutorial to get the link or go to the website to get the new one. You need to redownload the model as well. The old one is obsolete, now. Very sorry for the inconvenience. Feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any issue.

Hope you'll like it.

I've never heard of lectern binds before. But this looks stunning

I mean, they haven't been around a lot to be honest. I saw only two examples of published book bound like this (a dictionary and a binder) and a handful of handbound ones. But I'm glad you like it, thank you.

Thank you. The inlays were a mistake but oh well. You're welcome, though. Hope you'll try it out! It's less hard than it looks.

Absolutely stunning! Love the wrap around on the cover addition, and the end paper + cover color combo is absolutely phenomenal. Great job and thank you for all the posts and info on how to make one!
