20
Hit 100 perfect spines today and it felt like a bigger deal than I expected
I've been binding as a side gig for about 2 years now. Mostly rebinding old paperbacks for friends and some small commissions. But I started keeping a tally of how many books I finished without ANY flaws on the spine - no ripples, no glue showing, no cracks. 100 just felt like a real milestone, you know? My first 20 were a total mess. Tons of waste. Now I can actually trust my process. Has anyone else tracked something weird like this just to see if you're actually improving?

I get the "first 20 were a total mess" part more than I'd like to admit. It's a good feeling when you can finally trust what you're doing.

Get on the same page with that feeling. First 50 spine pulls for me were cringey. Now I'm two years in and it's all muscle memory.
