I did not post a lof of updates about that book because eh, but if someone is interested, I can elaborate on the various complications and cheating techniques alternative solutions used

Probably the book I've struggled with the most. Here's the final result!
The cover is leather, aluminium tape and a hand-cut aluminium plate. The inside is a book block sewed with cotton, I added fabric to solidify the spine, and completed with aluminum tape for decoration. The whole thing is bound with orange recycled paper.
Total time: About 30min for the book block, about 2 hours to trim the leather, a few hours cutting and sanding the metal, and about 2 hours assembling the whole thing, so... About a day.
Total cost: EXCLUDING HIDDEN COSTS (such as my parcel getting lost...), about CHF 30.- for the leather, about CHF 13.- for the metal, CHF 2.- for the binding itself, le'ts say about CHF 5.- of glue and whatnot, ... About CHF 50.- I'd say.
I'm waiting for some extra metal cuts between tomorrow and Wednesday, and I also asked the client about what he would prefer in case I don't get the final version
Sunday I'll add the cover paper, cut the metal sheet, and hopefully finish the cover
Monday I'll complete the book - trimming the paper block and assembling everything
Update: My package with my leathers got lost somewhere between the post office and ???
So, I haven't received any leather._.
Luckily, my colleague Adam very kindly helped me out with some leather he dyed himself! It's not the right orange, but at least I can work on the project!
So apparently this is quite popular both with the music nerds and the game design nerds
Thank you all for you kind words, it really means a lot β€οΈ
