Replicating 'The Notebook' Part 3: Finished! - Decorative Tooling, Leather Corners, Final Assembly

If you've been watching until now, you know I've been working on making a replica of the journal from the 2004 film 'The Notebook'. In Part 1 I planned out the the book, sewed and trimmed the text block, and rough cut the boards. In Part 2 I finished the text block by adding the ribbon and lining the spine, as well as assembled the case and covered it with book cloth. In this third and final video I will tool in the decorative borders on the front and back covers, pare the leather corner tips and apply them, then glue the book into its cover. You can judge for yourself if my replica could stand in for the hero prop from the film - let me know in the comments what you think!
