I am in the process of making some notepads to sell at a show on Dec. 3rd. Since they need no finish, cutting them won't interfere with the good smells of Thanksgiving. I will post some pictures later today or tomorrow when I get a chance.
The basic technique is borrowed from John Polhemus and Tom Zieg articles but with my twists. I cut the paper to size on my bandsaw, then tape the bundle together with low tack blue tape and put two thick coats of padding compound on one end. I then pick off 2 bundles of 50 sheets, wrap them tightly, tightly tape some 1/16 plywood to the top and bottom areas I will be cutting, and put the pattern on the wood. I use either a #2 or 2/0 skip tooth blade to cut the pattern. I then cut some brown paper board to size, and attach it to the back of each pad with more padding compound.
