Not OP, but here's the guide I got from here awhile ago. I'm assuming the design on the inside is from gluing down strips of the cut out book.

NOT OP.
You use wood glue for all the pages then use an Xacto knife to cut it.

OP here. I used a dremel cutting disk and grinder to smooth out the inner walls of the cut-away. Once done though, it left a rough uneven look. I had hundreds of useless pages, as well as a bowl of craft glue, so I glued that shit to the inside.

I advise using a bible to make these. It's much easier to cut through the shitty thin-ass paper they use for bibles in half the time it would take to do a normal book, and you can get them for free in almost any hotel room. No one will suspect all your illicit shit is kept in the holy bible. Bonus: this idea is probably deeply offensive to some christfags.

I was planning on doing this, but I don't see a reason to use those cheap ass ones.

I'm going to try to find one with a strap.

I use a 100 year old bible with gold pages. Shit's pretty cash and also have the bonus of offending all Christians by keeping weed in there.

I did one of these and lined it with embossed felt. It looked really damn fancy. I experimented with embedding magnets in the edges a few pages down do keep it closed but the magnets I used weren't strong enough.

OP here (never really posted before /diy/ came along, so I'm trips now). In a mix of poverty and desire to pull away from the whole "buy herp and derp what they want for the holidays", I've decided to make all my christmas gifts.

Projects soon to be posted include:

-birdfeeder made of kitchenware

-dinnerware windchime

-used tire sandals/bracelets

-(my favorite) A Wasteland 'footlocker' of in-game items (nuka-cola, mentats, jet, posters, etc)
