This plan contains information on how to make TWO projects: 1) book vise + 2) cutting plough. The book vise is used throughout the bookbinding process to hold the booklet when performing various tasks. If you turn the vise around, then you can fit the cutting plough in a groove and use it to trim the sides of the book super clean.

Included in this plan:

Cutlists & step by step instructions for:
