Made a few books. Figured I'd share the process.

Started off by marking the halfway point down the stack.

Because I wasn't able to get it cut perfectly in half every time, I sorted the pages I had into 3 general sizes

When one of the stacks was roughly the size of a book, I put the shortest page in front and marked every half inch a little bit from the edge.

Very cool OP
What are you planning on putting in the books?

Are you going to write in them or just let them sit?

Seems like you'd be better off trimming the leather to shape before gluing it, you'd probably have smoother results

it's nice for a first time out
I would have glued what what have soon been the spine a few times over so the binding isn't strictly just the thread which seems to be a problem with most books
