Pilot Logbook Binders: Home Printing Logten Pilot Pages

The Making Off: This Triple Slipcase

A triple slipcase like this is firstly sized around it's contents (the binders) which are also exactly sized around their contents (A4 and 8.5 x 11 pages sitting within plastic sleeves and dividers, that sit perfectly within the inner cover). The box itself consists of 24 boards a quarter of which are different sizes, 10 of which are lined. It is assembled with carefully glueing and careful assembly.

The Stepped Joint - Why we use it in making our boxes.

We often refer to "stepped joints". Why do we use it? Well according to the Library of Congress "The step joint is used for constructing corners of the majority of boxes because it is more rigid than a simple butt joint This stepped joint is also used to join the base to the wall (of the boxes) board. A further reference to the step jointed corner maybe found in Fragments of Bookbinding Technique by T. Harrison (1876 - 1955)"
