Making a leather binding by hand

Another blank journal made entirely by hand. The leather I am using is a vegetable tanned black calf skin. You can find a link to my supplier below, as well as info about the brass finishing tools. The paper is 100gsm, unlike the 80gsm I use in my previous bindings. The clicking sound at the end comes from the stove I use to heat the tools. The tattoo on my finger is just a Harry Potter reference, nothing illuminati related.
