Dryad Junior Book Plough Rescue // Adventures in Bookbinding
In this video I'll clean and sharpen the blade on a Junior Plough made by Dryad probably in the 1960s. Along the way I'll talk about the Dryad company and demonstrate the use of this plough.

If you want to trim the edge of a book in a press like this, but without a plough, Jeff Peachey makes a knife, called the Ely edge knife, specifically for this.

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.
