Standard spring typeholders. These type holder book binding tools are supplied in 3 sizes, 2, 3 & 4 inch and will accept type from 8pt to 36pt. (see below for catalogue and price list).

 

They are cast from gun metal and machined square inside. The steel backplate is bevelled to a fine edge to aid sighting.

The two jaws are centred when the right hand screw is turned to make side spacing unnecessary.

 

 

 

 

finishing stove book binding

This traditional finishing stove is made from hard wearing stainless steel with three aluminium supports for the cast aluminium castellated ring.

 

The unit is a thermostatically controlled catering stove which is very hard wearing and designed for continuous use over long periods. A very durable book binding tool.

leather paring machine

This leather paring machine is based on a tried and tested design and is simple to set up and operate.

 

The leather is pulled between the anvil and fixed blade. By raising the anvil thin cuts can be taken until the required thickness is achieved.

 

It is an invaluable book binding tool for quickly preparing inlays, onlays, labels and any thin leather pieces for repairs.

 

The machine has a large throat area to accommodate the pared leather when preparing larger pieces for full leather bindings. The anvil can be adjusted to provide a feathered edge if required.

Sadly this machine has been discontinued, it is no longer possible to obtain this style of leather paring machine.

Here you can download a copy of the Type Holders & Various catalogue. The catalogue is in .pdf format and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or similar to read it. You can download Adobe Acrobat here for free if you do not have it, it is a perfectly safe, widely used software for reading .pdf files.

 

The catalogue has been scanned at quite a high resolution in order that it may be printed out and none of the fine detail of the tools lost. Because of this the catalogue may take a few minutes to appear in your browser, if you still have a dial up connection I suggest going away and making a cup of coffee, if you have broadband it should only take a minute or two.

bookbinding

I received my equipment. Wow, the quality is astounding I don't know where in the states I could get tools made this well. The large laying press and finishing press are massive and the sewing frame is to die for. I guess old world craftmanship still lives. I am glad I bought from you instead of buying in America just to get it fast. To have the equipment (made and) delivered within 30 days was not too long to wait. Frank 
 
I received the type holder yesterday, it actually arrived quicker than I thought it would.
Thank you for all your help and for the great customer service, really appreciate it. Bruno

The DVD's arrived last week and I have been glued to the tv screen. I have been busy sharpening my knives the way the DVD teaches, and it works! Great to have really sharp knives. Mac

 

Just a thank you for your excellent tutorial on clasp making -wonderful. Thanks so much. You're really generous to share your knowledge and skill with us youngsters. Tony

 

I had to write and thank you for your help during the last month, you guided me to a teacher near me and now I am actualy enroled on a 1 year part time bookbinding course. Thank you so much for your efforts. Ratchel

 

The equipment arrived safe and sound, it looks wonderful I can't wait to try it. Thank you for being so helpful. Louise

 

The article on calf marbling was awesome, when you get around to publishing your book, put me down for a copy. Jake

 

I just wanted to say thank you for being so patient with me over my choice of bookbinding press, so nice not to be subjected to the hard sell. Mary
