I just can't face paying over £60 (with accessories) for a real MTN when I don't know if it will work for me (your Filofax v Midori post suggests it might not!). I don't have any thick leather in my bedroom drawer, but I do have several disused Filofaxes including an A5 Kendal. Cut down and with a replacement "complicated interior construction" (cardboard) it just might form the basis of an interesting DIY project! I'm thinking I might go slightly larger than yours and make a cover that would hold Moleskine Cahiers.Tim Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320789185450598620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-77523876433788208522013-06-27T08:23:38.864+01:002013-06-27T08:23:38.864+01:00Just in case someone comes here looking for tips t...Just in case someone comes here looking for tips to make a notebook. To make leather bend without cracking it it´s always good to steam it lightly when bending. When the leather is warm and steamed, it´s easier to bend and then it needs to be left to its designated new form (like on notebook, left between heavy books to completely cool down). After bending, it would be good to condition leather with leather creme, natural oils or somesuch.

Yes, it's an ineresting range, isn't it?<br /><br />@Alice - I think Midori might have issues with me doing that.
