This 4x6" box has been modified to hold pegs that become a sewing frame.
-
The slit is to pass binding cord through in lieu of sewing keys on the big frame.
-
These tiny craft dowels get banded together to serve as a sewing frame for text-blocks that are bound onto tape or cord.
-
The tools: threads, needles, pins, elastic bands, dowels, mini clothespins, mini bone-folder, mini scissors, mini pencil, beeswax, mini punching cradle (self made) and a mini flower press to serve as a mini book press. (YAY for those little kits at the Barnes & Noble checkout!)

Cords will support the quires in this binding. Here they are strung up in the sewing frame so that the quires may be sewn onto them.
-
I frequently use this to treat the wood boards of the books I bind. It is smooth and plausibly period.
