Today DIY has released the latest skill - Bookbinder! "Bookbinders create tomes of all shapes and sizes. With just a pile of paper, some thread, and a dab of glue, we create masterpieces that last for years." There are fifteen challenges, and many of them relate to things that are being done in DIY Camps. A few of these challenges include Fold a Book from a Single Sheet, Make a Hardcover Book, and Build a Screw Press. We are expecting a batch of Bookbinder-themed daily challenges next week! We may be taking another one month break while we develop the new contest suggested by Sky Girl 727!

DIY would like to involve the DIY community in the process of creating new skills. They're trying an experiment to see what would happen if members of DIY give feedback on skill ideas. The mods would like to know what challenges you would think would be cool, fun, or really challenging for the Paleontologist skill that is coming soon. You can suggest and discuss ideas in this project. If you want, you can even share a how-to video or other examples of your idea. The Paleontologist skill was designed and suggested by Fellesies as part of the 2014 skill design contest. A new contest is coming soon!!
