Bookbinding Flow State | The Making of the BA-2 Notebook | Bookbinding ASMR

Follow along as Bounty Archive crafts one of forty BA-2 Notebooks by hand. Bathe in gentle sunlight, and enjoy the sounds of bustling New York as they filter up from the street below. The BA-2 is designed to be a companion for work and play. Your genius Ideas will each find their own place within the subtle dot grid on 240 numbered pages. Strong neodymium magnets are the backbone of a sublime closure mechanism, which will make engineers curious and friends envious. Each unit is numbered along the spine, a constant reminder of its scarcity. The BA-2 was produced in 6 delightful colors, because variety is the spice of life. I hope that you enjoy the sights, sounds, and general sensations evoked by this video. While this is not intended to be a tutorial, you may feel inspired and/or challenged to use some of the featured techniques to make something functional and beautiful. If you have questions about this process, materials, gold foiling, or bookbinding, just ask me in the comments. I read them all, and I try to reply as soon as possible.
