How come lab notebooks are ridiculously expensive? Also, I guess most notebooks are slightly bigger than composition notebooks
I'm tempted to make a spreadsheet template or PDF. It's pretty silly to spend a lot of money on a lab notebook when you can print a few grid pages and bind the book yourself
Current status
@cypnk I like very small grids so I printed out in landscape and made some signatures for an initial trial binding to see how it feels.

@somethingeloquent @cypnk How did you do the binding?
@lilith @cypnk I did a kind of kettle stitch, no cover yet. And I’ll probably want to do this again with better paper and some more precision.

Oohhh, home made DIY bookbinding, woo-hoo!
@luka @somethingeloquent @cypnk I was considering making something like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AeZeyUfWKyLWvsPJeCnUFCqgyTSlw-IC9SMrBexmF8dS_Nai8QPIfDs/ to help with binding too. (I've also tried binding signatures with a sewing machine, which worked pretty well.)
@lilith @luka @cypnk That's pretty neat, I might build a contraption like this gentleman has: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXLG9mMfc5k
