Step 7Assemble Main Body (minus Hinged Cover)
Next I cut a piece of leather to wrap around the journal's spine. I drilled three holes as seen in one of the pictures and then threaded the screw posts up through the leather, through the bottom plate, then through the paper, and then placed the top plate.
As you can see the screw posts don't extend beyond the surface of the top plate - this is where the 1/4" brass extensions come in. I inserted 3 of them and then folded the leather over and pressed down hard. The extensions made little indentations and I used a sharp awl to make the points easier to see.
I then drilled those holes, wrapped around the leather and screwed them down with the screw post ends.
One of the images shows the completed journal minus the hinges... that's the next step.
