Knocked out a whole bunch of pin back buttons to add to the existing pile this weekend at Salem Art Fest. The page pins, as I've been calling them, are made from the pages cut out of the book safes. One of the top questions I get is "what do you do with the pages" and this is the first use. I'll comb through everything and pull out images and recognizable quotes to set aside with the hope of them fitting inside the right size circles to become pins.
These are premuch only available at in person shows, they're not copies or reprints, so I can't really take requests. You dig through and hope you find something fun.

Quad stack hollow book safe.

One question I get at shows pretty frequently is "whats the biggest book safe you have?" And usually I have some good size dictionaries, bit single books don't always get it done. Enter the stack safe. I can take multiple volumes from the same series or set (really it can just be a group of random books too if you wanted) stack them up and cut through everything except the top cover and the bottom cover one by one for as many books as needed to get to the desired thickness.

So, what the largest books I've done? It was about three feet tall, all various love stories, for a wedding, to be used as the card box for guests to drop cards in by the gift table. I was so big I had to drill holes through the corners and add threaded rods to all the books between the first and last so it didn't spit apart under its own weight.

This one is a little more reasonable at four books, but now you can hide your bigger secrets.
