Step 1) This project starts off with a simple rectangle, the corners of this rectangle gets rounded off with the use of the radius button. With the corners rounded The back of the rectangle gets squared off to be straight so only the from has the rounded corners. This is done with another rectangle large enough to cover the side of the rounded rectangle. then the combine feature is used and the subtract is selected to remove the part of the rectangle. then this new shape is copy and pasted to make a second one which will become the front and backs of the book.
Step 2: The Book Bindings
Step 2) Now the book needs a binding or in this case a bendable hinge, this is done by creating a very narrow rectangle the exact same height as the book covers. Several of these are needed so the array is used to make 6 of them the same.
Step 3: The Title is added.
Step 3) Now the Title of the book is made with the text editor, once the font is picked the wording is sized to fit the front of the book cover. This is then set to be engraved.

Step 4) This page noe needs pages, from the use of the felt the pages are created the same way the front and back of the book was created. The front of each page the rounded corners are removed and the wording is placed on each page. This is done again with the text editor and sized to fit each page. Then it is off to the laser machine.
Step 5: Assembly

Step 5) Once the laser machine has cut and engraved all the pieces it was a matter of lining all the pieces up in a straight line. The glue is placed across all the pieces to ensure they all bond together. Then each page is glued on top of each other starting with the last page working your way to the first page.
