Made with two dollar bills, one for lid and one for box.
Finally a break to do what I enjoy! Modified to work with dollar bill. This is a first try. would like to get the black lines with in the star to be symmetrical.
Nice box as gift for any occasion.

This box was inspired by some Gothic ivory carvings I saw at The Cloisters in NYC this August. The box ended up a lot more Baroque though.

Xyla seemed to like this box, so I cut off three of the flaps and put the "bed" from the cat carrier in it. She was leery at first, but she seems to like it.
A new use for a phone box at Greenwich Naval College in London. Business looks slow here but he did have some customers later. It seems vapes are now an essential item on your day out.
You might spot a theme in today’s posts…
In this piece of the world, this is called a box canyon. Most everywhere else, a box canyon has a definite steep end, once you get trapped in there, there's no escaping the sheriff. This one's more like a box with both ends open.
Regional differences, I guess...

Summer 2014 2nd leg: "Getting High"
July 13: an early visit to Piedra Falls, warming up in Piedra River canyon, getting wet in Pagosa Springs.
Here we see Direct Rail Services DBSO 9709 leading the rake of coaches and 37401 into Barrow-In-Furness whilst working a slightly delayed 2C34 from Carlisle to terminate here. Observed on 23rd August 2017
These boxes from Edwardian times and containing tableware - fancy fish cutlery and servers, cake forks etc, etc. - have been passed down from my wife's grandparents. They have survived being blitzed in WW2 in West Kensington, London and a variety of moves around Southern England. They have been safely tucked away with us for over 30 years and we are considering their future as they are hopelessly out of fashion. In the meanwhile they languish in an untidy little stack.
Also associated with the 1940 West Kensington time is an eye-witness letter from my wife's aunt when she was fourteen years old in 1940 written during and immediately after a bombing raid. A very powerful document indeed that still affects us both whenever we read it.
The abandoned trailer across the street seems to be a fun source for photos. This box spring is on the back porch.

A few long term rail contacts on Flickr will know that for many years my dad has been looking for an image of this signal box. It was the first place he worked and no matter where he looked or who I spoke with we couldn't find a photo of the box. Everything changed this week. Not just one picture but two came to light. This one was purchased by dad and shows the box and an unknown entourage at some point prior to the Great War.
The box was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1893 and closed by British Railways in 1970. I will let dad supply a few additional notes.
Signalmen were: Clifford Dickinson, Arthur Burton and Bill Humphreys, working three shifts in turn, 6.0 am to 2.0 pm, 2.0 pm to 10.0 pm and 10.0 pm to 6.0 am, days, afternoons and nights, Monday to Saturday, starting a new shift every Monday. The branch line to Castleford and Methley did not operate on Sunday. Train register lads: John Firth and Keith Matthews, working days and afternoon shift alternate weeks.
The box controlled the up and down main and goods lines to and from London to Leeds, the branch line to and from Methley, the East and West line to Robin Hood, the Lofthouse colliery sidings lines and the goods yard at Outwood. Quite busy at times.
I have a recollection of a then, circa 1954, experimental diesel unit testing on the Methley to Leeds line, it deliberately stopped on the steepest part of the 1 in 49 uphill gradient near the junction with the main line, then set off again with no problems. Steam engines often needed a ‘banker’ engine at the rear to assist them up the incline. My signalman friend remarked, “Well John that’s thefuture, we won’t need steam engines when these take over”.
Train register lads duties were: recording, the exact time of all bell contacts relating to the passage of each train in the registers, (eight entries per train). There were different bell codes for each type of train, a light engine was 2-3 rings, an express passenger train 4 bells, etc. Other duties were receiving and transmitting Morse code telegraph messages, telephoning Leeds Central Control with times of VIP trains, etc. Non clerical duties included keeping the box clean and levers polished, washing the many windows, emptying the chemical toilet and burying it behind the box. Plus the unofficial task of operating the box whilst the signalman had his breakfast or tea. Happy days.
This is another box variation.
The lid is made with a hexagonal star cross module.

A southbound train enters Petersfield, passing the Grade II listed signal box which is threatened with demolition by Network Rail in the course of their modernisation work.
The box is a London & South Western Railway Type 3a construction built around 1885 and still contains some original signalling equipment.

"Looking for something he believes belongs to his mother, twelve-year-old Josh Milton breaks into Old Man Binkley’s garage. As the old man befriends the young boy, Josh becomes intrigued by the stories Mr. Binkley brings to life with the help of things he has hidden away in boxes—stories of people and places around the world. Curious, Josh returns each weekend until one of the boxes reveals a secret that shakes his trust in his own family. Should he run, or should he stay and face his mother who he now knows has lied to him his entire life?"
7:25am I left for 39km roundtrip ride to Princess Auto in Langford.
I think this box will make a good carrying-box for one of my bikes (once the bottom is reinforced with a sheet of whatever)
66617 gets the road having being held at a signal with the 6H51 10.58 Hardendale Quarry to Tunstead Quarry empties.
The train is near journey's end as it approaches Chinley North Junction on the 6th April 2018.
I have come to
This place by choice
Of someone else
Why would they
Choose this for me
Bore a hole
And shove me in
Take my wings
Cut ties to my dreams
Turn of all light
And fill the box with
Screams
Soon I became
So close to nothing
That I had almost
Lost myself completely
Until I realized
They left behind
One thing
That lies very deep
Within me
I even had a difficult
Time finding it
But luckily
It was also
Looking for me
This little light
Of thought
Was first just a flicker
Then with every bit
Of hope I could feed it
It grew
Into a flame
So large
I could no longer
Contain it
It ended up
Filling the box
Calming the screams
And helped build up
The once destroyed dreams
So see
A new world
A different reality
Is just one positive
Thought away
So link a few
Together
And you'll soon have
Your freedom
Forever
Railway stations, yards, junctions etc and sections of line between certain locations (called blocks) with complex track work and/or safe working (signalling) systems were usually provided with signal boxes or cabins from which staff worked levers and instruments that controlled all this apparatus. They were busy and fascinating places to watch trains being worked by old fashioned mechanical means.
These days, most of the signal boxes have been centralised and computerised, sometimes replaced by rationalised and simplified installations.
That Chinchilla on the Darling Downs had one indicates a busy and challenging layout. Rationalisation of the whole line and far fewer trains means Chinchilla is but a shadow of its former self. It's fairly large signal box now resides in the local museum.
to use wisely.

thank you, rabbit.
I love invitations to groups. love them! but I don't like those big or sparkly icons. so, as much as I love being invited to groups, and love you for inviting me, I will delete them.
sorry.
This box, designed in late 2020, is decorated with a shamrock, and folded from a single square of Tant paper. In contrast to most of my box designs, in which the lid is separate from the bottom part, this one is single-part and opens via a hinge. Two large flaps on both sides lock underneath a pleat that goes along the bottom of the box, making it possible to close the box quite neatly.
In order to limit the design to the convenient 16×16 grid, I ended up with a slit between the closed lid and the front wall. Using a slightly larger grid, it should be easy to add a small flap in front of the lid and ensure that in closed state, nothing can fall out of the box.

In Amsterdam Noord there is a crazy place called NDSM-wharf. It's crazy what's inside the NDSM building and the area surrounding it is crazy as well.
As the official web site states, from the 1920s to the 1980s NDSM was one of the biggest shipyards in the world, then it was converted into "Kunststad", an "Art city", and now it's full of weird buildings, arts installation, and whatever creativity could mean.
This picture was taken in the neighborhood, I couldn't resist to those brilliant colors and the box-shaped houses.
66109 leans into the curve as it heads the 4E98 08:24 Mossend to Tees Dock containers through Alnmouth on the 14th December 2019.
Alnmouth signal box is a substantial North Eastern Railway type NER N3+ opened in 1907.
This box was inspired by some Gothic ivory carvings I saw at The Cloisters in NYC this August. The box ended up a lot more Baroque, but even though I'm a Bauhaus kinda guy, this one is my personal favorite of the series.
