I failed so hard at hollowing out a book.

I think you're supposed to use an exacto knife...

Shame you ruined your Harry Potter book, I don't care for it much anymore but that could've been worth some money some day if it was first edition.

 

Buddy, just get a sharp knife(doesnt have to be an exacto knife) and take your time cutting out the pages. TAKE YOUR TIME. I did like 3 pages at a time and did it in roughly 10 sessions of hard work. lol I proceded to leave the pages scatered everywhere and my roomate figured out i was hollowing it out. yeah.. there are also a shit ton of guides on youtube. use you mad google skillz

 

I say the Fail started when you even thought of destroying a book.

 

QFT

 

This too, lol.

This may sound nerdy...but books are our friends lol, don't destroy them. Unless it's something by Nora Roberts.

 

glue the edges of the pages before you start cutting. when i hollowed out my book (a giant ass bible hahaha) i took a foam brush and some modge podge and put a LIGHT coating, about an inch wide band, around the edge of each page. then i cut the pages out 10-20 at a time. remember that it was bible paper so it was ridiculously thin, i wouldn't try to cut more than 10 pages at a time on regular book paper. its too thick and the pages will contort, fucking up your cutting line. i used a ruler as a guide until i got about a quarter inch into the pages, after that the pages themselves should be all you need.

i also left about a quarter inch of pages untouched in the front of the bible so it still resembles a normal book under a light inspection.

 

I got these cheeseburgers mannnnn.

 

I love how it's blasphemy here to destroy a book, but a bible is ok. =) it's like icing on a cake... lol

 

it is not okay to destroy any book.

 

why don't you just put the bag of weed in your mouth

 

we aren't destroying the books we are just making them more useful. besides, would you honestly read the bible?

 

1) Find a bigger book

Hollow out 5 or so pages at a time, no more, no less.

Use guidelines so you don't fuck up.

Good luck!

 

lmao why not?

 

If you're going to do that, use a dictionary.
Believe me, NO ONE will ever go through your dictionary. I used to use one for my cash stash when I was at college living in the dorm, and it never failed me.

 

This. also don't try and cut the entire thing at once...

 

made me lol, i want some of what your having

 

i did EXACTLY the same thing! i ruined my 5th harry potter book ):

 

Harry Potter LOL i'd never destroy my HP books :'D

 

I would
