Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.

Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.
Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work.

As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to
>linocut transfer
>screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)
>just print a paper label and glue it on top
Don't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials.

I just do classic Japanese bookbinding whenever I want a sketchbook

You could try 3D-printing a debossing tool to deboss the board you're using for the cover. Then when you glue the fabric onto it, use a bonefolder or similar tool to push the fabric into the recess. You could leave it like that, or try to paint the recessed area.
I've never done this, so I don't know how well it would actually work.

A few things I've noticed about trimming the edges of stacks with a boxcutter and metal ruler:
-keep as sharp as possible, break off a blade, or install a new one
-hold the blade at a shallow angle, making many passes with limited force. make sure enough of the blade is exposed (slid out) to accommodate your shallow cutting angle
-don't remove too small an amount. If the material being cut away is less and 1/8" wide, it is more likely to buckle and foul the cut
-if the cut material shifts at all, keep your ruler hand in place and remove cut material with your knife hand. Don't be tempted to simply slice through material that has moved into the cut, it'll often foul it up.
-last thing is to pay attention to the tilt of the blade. of course, you're aiming for the cut surface to be vertical, but it can be easy to lose track of the tilt during deeper cuts. The force you use to keep the blade against the ruler can have a tendency to bend or tilt the blade if you're not focused

I've had some excellent Olfa boxcutters for years for modelmaking, etc. (about 20$ for a pack of 50 refill blades that last me ages) I wouldn't attempt anything fine with a bog-standard cutter.

Recently I got inspired by this guy who models their cosplays with cardboard and I got surprised by how good the round shapes ended up look like.
I only want to make a mask with round shapes but every tutorial I found uses straight strokes for the template and I want to know if I can find more information of how to do it the other way

The technical name for a shape that can be made from a flat plane via cutting, folding and bending but without stretching or compressing is a developable surface-

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developable_surface

Cylinders, cubes, pyramids and cones are basic examples, and with computers extremely complex shapes can be segmented and unfolded to create patterns for 3-D objects.

Curved creasing/folding (see pic) is another option that can develop amazing shapes with minimal cutting and assembly work

Hey guys. I recently pulled this card. Do you reckon it would be possible to make this?
>>
>>622120
Man, waiting 900 secs to answer is the end of chan, so will be hard to get them. But probably there is, this would be a modular origami, i saw a Link from zelda that looked similar to what you want, so maybe looking for it and modifying it. Also Little Prince should be similar. All the luck

Any instructions for 1/12 accesories or diorama parts? something like ruble or barricades?

I have met a really beautiful girl at my university, she is someone very interesting. In a very nice act, she gives me a paper crane (it's the one in the photo).
I want to make something special in origami, I would like you to help me with some romantic and cute ideas, it could even be flowers.

PS: The level of difficulty does not matter.

Simply make an identical crane, gift it back to her, and ask if your paper cranes can date. Just like, be cool about it yknow

Is there any good origami book collection torrent that is still alive?
I lost everything because I dropped my external hard drive.
I tried to look for old torrents and links which I've downloaded before. But they are all dead.
There's the 8-part 20 Origami Books Collection. But it's kinda meh. There are also Tanteidan torrents, mostly dead.

Search no more mi friend, i started with this book (Im still finishing/reading it) and i consider it a good start:
https://ia803201.us.archive.org/1/items/genuine-origami-jun-maekawa-2008/Genuine%20Origami%20%20%5BJun%20Maekawa%5D%20%5B2008%5D.pdf

I didn't have good experience with this book. The theory is nice, teaching techniques and essential ideas in progressively more complex models.
But a lot of the models, in my experience, even simpler ones can be too disappointing/challenging. I mean this book is supposedly written for beginners.
I just checked gilad page, reviewing from memory:
1. squirrel - the example photo and the one in diagram is different, so your result won't look the same as Jun Maekawa's
2. box - "locks" and bullshit don't work. I honestly have no idea how to make this properly without glue
3. spiral shell - good luck making everything aligned
4. giraffe - I really dislike this one, dunno, the fact you fold the back and hide it behind really annoys me
5. helmet - good luck making this stand, even gilad couldn't do it, fuck this model seriously
I think I dropped the book a few models after this. I kept hitting problems that I blame on subpar models.
I decided just to fold stuffs I find interesting from /po/. Not following Maekawa's curriculum. I'm much happier now. I just don't think the book is good recommendation for beginners.
-----
John Montroll's Teach Yourself Origami's first half has all of the essential models they used to teach in schools.
>>
Try to follow this plan to become a successful folder . 1 .Sonobe .2 . Kusudama .3 tessellation .These are good because very repetitive folds practice makes foolproof and you can use glue for assembly
Then 4 .Beetle . 5 .Fish . 6 .Spider .7 scorpion
8 . Butterfly two colours .
9 .Bee two colours
Then try some simple characters .
After that you should be familiar enough with diagrams and precrease to attempt more complex models such as birds dragons .

I got this picture of a few pins badges representing animals, possibly origami models (that's probably the intended effect).
Any of you know if they are origami models and not just polygon-shaped animals?
And if they are origami, any idea of who the creators are?
>>
I don't recognize those, I suspect they're just meant to look like origami without being based on real designs.

That said, the koala looks a bit like Gen Hagiwara's and the fox reminds me of one by Hoang Tien Quyet
>>
>>622075
Thanks for your answer. I'll try to find pictures of those two models you talked about.
