Using Binding Posts to bind sheets with pre-punched holes

Binding on posts is an excellent way of gathering together loose papers into semi-permanent book or album form. There are few bookcraft skills involved, which makes it easy to implement. It does require binding posts and punched papers or cards.

I show, below, some illustrations of techniques which add variation to the basic use of posts. Most of these can be applied as an afterthought to the main construction, to increase attractiveness for the end user. This is one of the several advantages of post-binding. Others are ~ pages can be added or removed at any stage without much trouble ~ sheet size is immaterial ~ embellishment thickness can be allowed for ~ covers can be added ~ the number of sheets to be added is limited only by the practicality of posts and inconvenience of portabiity of bulky book.

Some bindings that come before binding with posts in the hierarchy of punched-hole bindings are ~ India tags [xx] ~ punched and tie [xx] ~ multi-hole stitching [xx] ~ snap-click file [xx] ~ lever-arch file [xx] ~ bendy-steel-binders [xx]

See also "Some thoughts about binding with posts" [114735] and "Various illustrated samples of post-bound books and albums" [116535].

These are also known as Chicago Binding Screws ~ round head stud screws ~ barrel nuts ~ screw fasteners ~ and we would be pleased to list other variants.

We are concentrating on the use of Binding Posts in bookcraft, but they are used to a great extent by leatherworkers (for decoration and for joining two pieces of leather together). Electricians also use the "posts" for the terminals built into an equipment case for anchoring cables to the main item.

Mechanically all the illustrated itmes are variants of the nut and bolt[124387].
