I decided to rebind an old copy of the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Using some traditional bookbinding techniques, we try to make a slightly more unconventional tome using leather, LED filament, and even som real silver metal casting!

📕 We also have a bookbinding course if you're interested in learning how to create personal books like this from scratch!   / nerdforge​   ✨
