WHAT’S UP GAMERS ! It’s another beautiful day in Minecraft– Just kidding. We don’t play games on this channel Let’s get down to business. So what we’re gonna try to do today is to make an enchanted book from Minecraft ~in real life~ Hmm. Thank you to the person in the comments who suggested this project because it’s genius why haven’t I thought of this before ? I know but we are making it. But we do have a problem because what the heck is this I I don’t know ! We got like 16 pixels or whatever to go off So there’s a lot of room for interpretation So the deal is I do know how to make books, but how do we make them enchanted? I’m thinking maybe LEDs you know, I love them Dorn LEDs UHH, I’m so excited holy frick, let’s just go. Woo! *Huff* It’s really heavy. This is a lot of paper but if you look at this boy, it’s a thick boy So we need a lot of paper. What I’m gonna do for now is I’m just gonna put this in the book press for a couple of hours at least and I’ll show you why in just a second. Oh yeah As you can see the folds are just a lot flatter So this is just gonna make it a lot easier for me to cut off The top part of every single page. The books of Minecraft kind of seems like they’re close to a square format and they also seem to have a bit of a rounded corner It’s hard to tell from these pixels, but I’m gonna go with… around the corner because I think it will be interesting This might be too much paper But we’ll see I’m gonna cut them first and then we can kind of decide on… ~OoOo~ the SIZE don’t ruin everything Okay, let’s do this Good morning gamers I sorted all these pages into stacks of five and one of those stacks is called a signature which I’m gonna sew together into one block, today. I think I’m actually gonna use all this paper because it looks really really good Next I’m gonna use waxed linen thread to sew them together But before I can sew it, I need some holes in this baby We’re gonna mark the holes on the back punch all the holes and then sew this block together Look who’s back guys The chair ! The chair is back on the table. Guess it can’t stand there though. Yeah, um. This was pretty much the only place I could put the chair Preferably it would be a bit lower because right now I’m like eyeline heights with the place. I’m gonna sew Well, preferably, I would have a proper sewing frame But uhh, I mean there’s a certain charm to this chair Let’s get sewing I’m wondering and you’re probably also wondering how the heck I’m gonna make these corners around it I think the best way for me to do that, is just to chop off a straight line and then use sandpaper to kind of round it off. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to cut the edge like a nice curve on all these layers This is Clyde. He’s a big and cuddly boy Yeah, I’m gonna go with a straight edge and then hopefully we can use sandpaper to make all the edges nice and smooth I know the text block isn’t perfect… but you know what ? I’m gonna say good enough this time, And I’m actually really happy about how it turned out It looks really good. Next we’re gonna make the head and tailbands I want to go with something that’s gonna match the ribbon around the cover I’m gonna go with some less saturated tones than these Intense ones because it’s just, it’s too much. So imma grab two of these colors and we’re gonna sit back there on the chair there to make these headbands Oh my god ! This is literally just what I wanted. The format and the size and just everything looks So good! The next step is to make the end sheets And usually end sheets are just thick colored paper at each end of the text block. I already have this nice gray cardstock that I’m gonna use This is 150 GSM I think It just means it’s a bit on the ~thicker~ side. All things in this episode seem to be thick Video Information
