dang, the bookbinding looks super cool! good for you. i am slowly beginning to investigate a partnership between my workplace (in the IT field, and we do a lot of ewaste recycling) and the local migrant center to provide them with a bunch of machines for things like GED, citizenship study, and communication.
this is my dream right here. my wife and i bought a “fixer upper” with bare dirt in USDA zone 6b/7a, and i dream of doing this. thanks for sharing!
