Gordster Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 This is one of Steve Goods patterns. I made one and found pages didn't line up as expected. So made the next one and added 3/8 inch to length and 1/4 inch to side. Also waited til I had the paper before I drilled holes for the rings. That also lines paper up better.The paper and rings,I got at staples as did Steve. 100 sheets for $4 and 16 rings for$4. Wood is 1/4 inch oak ply for both front and back covers. I glued blue poster card on inside cover. Three photos here..you can see the difference in Cathy one which was the first one I made. Lucky2, jollyred, Jim Finn and 2 others 5 Quote

Chachi111769 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I make these all the time and I have found that to do a full size it is best to do it at printer paper sheet size add whatever you want the cover to say then print add the holes from the binder paper to the printed sheet this way the holes match up..I hope this helps Gordster 1 Quote

Lucky2 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Gordie, both pieces look nice, but the Kim one does look a bit nicer. The adjustment you made in size, and the smaller hinge holes really seemed to have made a difference. Len Gordster 1 Quote
