I needed a cheap sketchbook for just penciling stuff out and not wasting good paper. But newsprint sketchbooks are ridiculously expensive.

So I decided to make my own. I grabbed some cheap packing paper from Walmart. $5 for 15x22 inch news print. The closest size on Amazon is 18x24 and it's $20+.

A little plywood and some string and I've poorly bound my first book. I am both proud and ashamed of it.

Cedar plywood. Because that's what I had on hand.
