Hit 500 books bound this week and almost missed it

I was going through my records from the last 4 years and realized I just crossed 500 books bound. That number hit me harder than I expected because I never tracked it before. I started doing it as a side gig out of my garage in Portland back in 2020. Most of those were rebinds for people who brought in old paperbacks with busted spines. It made me stop and think about how many hours that actually is maybe 2000+ hours of cutting glue and stitching. If you have been binding for a while do you keep count or just let the pile grow until it sneaks up on you like this?

@emmam67 that's wild, I only noticed because my spine glue order tripled.

Saw a YouTube video where a guy hit 1000 books bound and didn't even realize it until his wife mentioned it.
