Took about all the pine scraps in the shop to build. The black foam pad idea didn’t work, wasn’t enough clearence. Lots of ways to make bit holders…I think I tried most of them. Outside pieces to form each page were finger jointed, then nailed and glued in place.
Brass hook & eyes to make the latches. Modified to fit. may tried to make a “table of Contents/Index and add that to the inside of the front cover. Brass plated hinges…a LOT of them….were used around in back.
Witch’s Brew for the finish, top coated with a BLO/ Varnish mix. Will have to do a headcount on the number and sizes of the bits. They run from the #4 up to the #20.
There is a build blog around, somewhere. May need to make a bookshelf to hold this book. Thanks for looking in.

Looks good. You made excellent use out of pieces that I probably would have used in a campfire.
