How can I turn a book into a solid block? |
|
Such that it's suitable for working with woodshop tools?

Or else glue each page together?
Or else rip out all the pages and fill the space with sawdust?
Or else, uh, quit bothering me. I have to go do something important ...........

It's a little hard to tell in print.
Plus, I'm dealing with a colossal crisis at the moment, so humor is in short supply.

2. Maybe steam heat and pressure? |
|
It may require more steam heat and pressure than you can get in the home environment. I think the gluing pages idea might work. Maybe a can or two of Elmers spray glue would make it easy. :shrug:

4. I did it with laquer once, |
|
it seeps in between the pages because of its low viscosity. When I tried glue, the book got much thicker than it had been (maybe I just used too much glue). But the laquer only solidified the outer edges of the paper. In the middle of the pages, they were still separate.
Good luck.

19. I've gotten some good suggestions from epoxy mfrs. |
|
They were quite straight-faced about my inquiry. They must hear weirder.

6. There is a spell for doing that but you need the gall bladder of a penguin |
|
to cast it, which is difficult to obtain fresh - and it must be fresh.
