Whats the quality of the hardware store paper? Is it suitable for drawing?
Also the urge to fucking draw in one of those is really overwhelming. They are just so badass.
It's not awful paper. If you're just doing sketches on it, it is pretty nice stuff. But it is 'near ph neutral' so I wouldn't trust it for archival purposes.
Havent updated in a while. This is an old project, but finally got it's display finished and photographed.
The big book was always meant to sit on a lectern, but I never managed to finish it in time for the initial photography of my thesis exhibition.
The legs are made of laminated maple, the book is steel with copper accents, paper, and sinew.
Also. Since I don't have a proper metals studio to work in, I've been binding books to keep myself busy until I find something to do with my life. Here is a batch of three simple note books with linen paper, cardstock and vellum.

Thanks guys.
I will always be a fan of books that can double as blunt instruments.
If I had an awesome metal book, i'd show you....i'd show ALL of you.
However, I respect any artist that buys their paper at a hardware store.
Cause this dude looks suspiciously like you.
Not me but I own that shirt.

Steel, Rasp File (spine), brass, artificial sinew, contractors paper.
Steel, brass with rusted steel pages.
Steel, copper, brass, paper.
I imagine getting a papercut when the paper is actually rusted steel would be... bad.

that book binding is rad i've wanted to try it and i think i might now!
(it looks really cool and menacing)
what's that binding style where you've made several folds instead of one big one?
I haven't noticed that before in a book
