In this series of two videos I'll make a replica, or model, of the original box that a mid 20th century Oxford Reference Bible came in. In the first video I'll make the lid, and in the second, the base, or tray. I'll show how I analyse an object to work out how it was constructed, and how I go about trying to replicate it. The method of making this box was common in trade production work, and is very different to how most hand bookbinders make books now. This might be useful if you want to make a similar box for a bible, make a model of another box or book, or restore a box made in this manner.
