The #clamshell (aka drop-spine or Solander) #box is used to protect rare, valuable or fragile books.  There are many designs for this type of box, and many construction methods for the different designs.  I like this design because it is simple but very effective.  It is not based on a single persons design, but I was originally taught how to make a Solander box by John Tonkin in Canberra, and in preparation for making this video I reviewed Sage Reynolds videos on this subject, and I adopted at least one of his practices.

Part 1 is making the trays or boxes and covering the walls.  In part 2 we'll finish lining the boxes and make the case and put it all together.

These videos are only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated.

For clamshell enclosures I also recommend Sage Reynolds' videos on this subject.

A good book that covers clamshell boxes is Introduction to Bookbinding and Custom Cases by Tom and Cindy Hollander, which is conveniently in print.

The tools and materials I use can be purchased from specialist suppliers and manufacturers in my suppliers list.  If you are in Australia I have a limited range of items I supply by mail or by pickup from the bindery in Brisbane.

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding.  It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects.  The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow.  The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books.  The best way to find what you are looking for is the DAS Bookbinding YouTube Channel guide.
