thanks to my lovely man <3 (and by that, i mean jordan, not gerard - although you are certainly lovely).
hey dave! sorry we didn't get to catch up with you over thanksgiving - it was spent mostly with family. but jordan is so smitten with his brand-new niece, i'm sure we'll be back before next november.
i have to go to sleep early tonight so i can wake up early and open my PILE of presents... yes, it's a PILE.

Here it is.
Order the awl that goes with it (on the same page), because those holes are kind of small. The awl we had wouldn't have fit into them.

i'm actually going to try using medical syringes with it. a while back i was complaining to jordan how messy the holes were, using an awl, so he brought home a bunch of needles: because of the hollow design they slice through the paper, rather than tearing it, resulting in much cleaner holes.

i have to second this- anyone who hand-sews books needs to invest in a syringe with an 18-gauge x 1 1/2" needle... with steady downward pressure, you can push a syringe through a stack of paper. and the holes are much neater than with an awl. bottom line: for making books, a syringe is AWL RIGHT!!!
and, an 18-gauge needle will fit through the holes in the awl guide, too. as if you needed another reason to buy an 18-gauge needle for all your bookmaking needs.
jordan: now selling needles.

Jordan. I know that this is your business. Please tell me where to buy needles, so I don't have to go to free clinic and fight the junkies for them.
Thanks,

Doesn't the paper dull that medical needle pretty quickly?
Maybe I'm just crazy. When trimming the outside edge I change the Xacto blade after every 10 books. That's probably unnecessary, but when I'm making the final pass on something that has taken hours to make, the last thing I want to do is make a raggedy chop.

it will dull eventually, but they're pretty cheap. i'm going to buy a box of 100 from work, and it will cost me around $8. syringes are a little more expensive, but they don't wear out.
i think it might be illegal to ship hypodermic needles through the mail, though. the company i work for makes a product with syringes and needles in it that you can buy in outdoor stores, but it's around $20 and there are only two 18-gauge needles in the package (and the smaller sizes are a little small to thread a sewing needle through).
