This is the final step in making a Photo album/ scrap book. The old method was cumbersome: sewing signatures with tab/guards already cut, and then having to pack the book out with loose scrap paper for the normal binding operations like putting the book into a press. Making a book in the usual way and cutting the guards after binding saves a lot of time and eliminates worry about the packing moving out of position.
I am mildly horrified by this video. So are you making sure that you leave one half of each folio? Where did you get the original recipes for your books, albums etc.?
Would you attach the glassine sheets to the cut back pages ?… also what width did you leave ?….
