ANyone have a spiral binding machine?

Hey guys the glue in the spine of my Advanced Drawing of Scrolls book has dried out and basically I have a loose leaf version now.

Do any of you have one of those spiral binding hole punch machines? If so would you be willing to rebind this for me at a reasonable cost?

Ray: If I'm not mistaken some printing companies like Kinko's provide that service. You might have one in your town that can do it.

Sam is correct. I think Office Max and others do as well. I was looking for some sketchbooks and couldn't find what I wanted. I bought one of the big tablets of sketch paper which they cut and bound into several smaller ones for me.....spiral bound with blank covers.

Ray, They are both right on the money. I have the machine to comb bind and would be happy to do it for you but mail will be more than it costs at Kinko. I used to do a lot of desktop publishing and have the binding equipment. Would be happy to bring to Scott's in June if you like. I also make tracing paper tablets for myself for muli layer drawing.

Thanks for the tip guys. I have a mom and pop run copy center in town I will check there first.

If my local place can't do it I may just mail that to you Fred and pick it up a Scott's.

If you want to be able to do it yourself get a GBC Docubind. Link to an example on Amazon here.

I've had one for years. It's a bit of a pain sometimes. You can punch up to about 10 sheets for the comb binding (or 25 for 3-hole). To put on the comb you turn a knob to pull the comb open, then lay on the pages. Turn the knob the other way to close it up and release it.

If I had 10 things to do I might go to the local office place but for one or two I just do it myself.

If you want to send it all the way out here... I can do it for you. No cost.
