Welcome to the Products Page of the Bookbinding section
Here you will find details of my favorite products and where possible links to their manufacturers.
- Err oh NO my products that I most used seem to be discontinued. Please, bear with me. I’ll come back to this page another time. Currently in the process of a lot of updates to the site.
In the mean time please check my suppliers page, which has been updated and lists retailers, and suppliers of bookbinding products, tools and materials.

I’ve left the information about these two products on here, as they have been fantastic, and perhaps you will be able to find them ‘pre-loved’ on auction sites. The makers site for Ideal, has been updated so that the language is set to English, to help you find alternative items.
- Ideal; Guillotines, here is the manufacturer of one’s I’ve heard are good. 1038 was seen in Peter B’s tutorial on You Tube. The site is German, but this link is to the English version of the site. You can choose your language from the site too.
This guilotine has served me well, it is acurate, sturdy and will cut bookboard and matboard as well as thinner papers and cardstocks. Yes it was an in vestment but one that has been SO worth every penny. If you make a lot of books or boxes and want accuracy and longevity as well as the option of cutting the thicker surfaces. Gutted!!! This one has been discontinued. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to find a preloved one.
- ScorIt board was made by Hamilton International, this is an excellent tool to help you score card stock neatly and accurately. Thankful I was able to eventually get the metric and the imperial versions. If you can find one on the auction sites, get it, there is only a single central raised line, but the ruler at the top lets you score with that line anywhere. Its been one of THE most used and most loved tool I have. Other scoring boards have fixed grooves, which is limiting, with the single raised area, you can score anywhere YOU want or need to. If anyone knows if there is a makers site still with them, please leave me a comment. Thanks

**Dead Links**
We all hate dead links, but sometimes site change adress and this causes links to fail. If you do find a broken link, please leave me a comment and I will attempt to repair the link or remove it. Thank you 🙂
