There are only 161 boxes in the country with the Edward VIII cypher, this one in Winchester could do with a bit of tender care.
This is my take on a 3 string cigar box slide guitar.
This was my first build of a cigar box guitar, and as you can probably guess i didn't use a cigar box and instead i used an old wooden chess board i had in the house, which i think gave the guitar a fantastic look right from the start.
I pieced together ideas from various sources but mainly a great book i got online which was very helpful.
As i was finding it quite difficult to get my hands on hardwood i had to use what i could and due to that i decided to make this one fretless as i couldn't a suitable piece.
The overall cost of this guitar was around £30 and sounds really cool.
Materials -
wooden chess board
Red Meranti for the neck
Oak for the headstock add on and bridges.
Now just to learn how to play it before i build my next!
I only need five more blocks, but I think I may start to arrange these a bit so I can see how much white I want in those last five blocks. I got a kick out of the blocks on the top right...just a half inch square surrounded by white :)
Welton Gate Box is situated between Melton Lane and Brough on the Gilberdyke to Hull line.
The gates are normally closed to road users and the signals in the off position. Because of the close proximity of the boxes to one another we see Melton Lane's distant signal sharing the same posts as Welton's home signal. in the opposite direction Brough Easts distant signal is similarly mounted beneath Welton's home peg.

Another rest day !!! That's two in two weeks.
I'm very conscious that whilst I have these signalling riches on my doorstep I need to get them visited as soon enough I'll be moving on and they'll be a whole lot trickier to find time to visit. Rest days are few and far between but a concerted effort needs to be made to get out more with the camera.
This one saw a very leisurely start visiting in this order
Hull Paragon
Hessle Road
Welton Gate Box
Melton Lane
Crabley Creek
Five very different boxes
I took a myriad of shots , if and when time allows I'll return with more signalling type shots but for now I have just posted one for each location and all featuring a train.

After months of working hard to avoid the dreaded "box with wings" look while building the Manticore, I needed a change of pace. I therefore built a box with wings, literally.
In the interest of being as cliche as possible, the Box With Wings features wheel engines.

The optics are rather simple, so image quality is a bit better than a toy camera, but not significantly so. Photographs can have the dreamy soft focus like Holga pictures, but unlike toy cameras, image quality is fairly sharp throughout the photograph with little or no vignetting around the edges. Also, the large negative size is a definite plus, just print contact sheets from Synchro-Box negatives.

ENGLISH
The pits usually comprise of a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a pit crew), depending on the series, while the driver waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved).
In Formula One, cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of refueling and changing tyres, although during the 2005 season tyre changing during the race was prohibited. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the course.
When the car is approximately one lap away from making its stop, the team's pit crew will set up fresh tyres and all needed pit equipment. Because of the overhead fuel and pneumatic rig, the team may have all pit mechanics in position prior to the car's arrival, with the exception of the rear jack man.
A pit stop involves about twenty mechanics, with the aim of completing the stop as quickly as possible. It lasts for six to twelve seconds depending on how much fuel is put into the car. However, if there is a problem, such as a fuel pump failing or the engine stalling, or repairs having to be made, it can take much longer. Cars are fuelled at a rate of more than 12 litres per second. This is accomplished by a fairly complex closed system that pumps air out of the car's fuel tank as the fuel is being pumped in.

Los boxes comprenden el "pit lane", o carril de boxes, que corre paralelo a la recta de salida/meta y conectado a ella por los extremos, y una hilera de garajes (normalmente uno por equipo). El trabajo de la parada en boxes, que se lleva a cabo fuera de los garages, lo realiza un equipo de entre 5 y 20 mecánicos dependiendo del tipo de deporte, mientras el piloto espera en el vehÃculo (excepto cuando hay cambio de piloto).
En Fórmula 1, los coches hacen una parada en boxes con el prpósito principal de recargar combustible y cambiar ruedas, aunque en la temporada 2005 estuvo prohibido el cambio de ruedas. Los equipos a veces hacen ajustes en los alerones delanteros y traseros, asà como reparaciones menores, como cambiar el morro. Las estrategias de boxes suelen comprender entre una y tres paradas, dependiendo de la carrera.
Cuando el coche está a una vuelta de la parada, el equipo de boxes prepara ruedas nuevas y todo el equipamiento necesario. Todos los mecánicos están en sus posiciones cuando llega el coche, excepto el encargado del elevador trasero.
Una parada en boxes implica veinte mecánicos, con el objetivo de completar la parada en el mÃnimo tiempo posible, que son entre seis y doce segundos dependiendo de la cantidad de combustible repostada. Sin embargo, su ocurre un problema como un fallo en la bomba de combustible o una parada de motor, o hay reparaciones adicionales, el tiempo se puede prolongar. Los coches repostan a razón de 12 litros por segundo. Este rápido repostaje se lleva a cabo por un complejo sistema cerrado que bombea aire fuera del depósito a medida que se llena de combustible.
My latest work: 3 box shelves turned into shadow box assemglages. I collaged the back and attached it to box shelves, then added shells. A nice way to welcome the warm days ahead.
The bottom box is the last one I have left, available in my etsy shop.
A further box visit back in October 2015 was Ulceby Signal Box.
Ulceby had evolved to cover quite a significant area compared with its original area. It had a reduced frame and an IFS panel. There was also room for a panel to cover Brocklesby but this never happened.
Sadly the box was demolished with undue haste following closure, before the local S&T even had time to recover equipment for spares, the box coming down with everything still in place.
One of the new signals can be seen, ready for York ROC to take over.
We have some Irish friends, who think Cape Cod is just about all right, particularly Provincetown. We are much of their opinion. But they never go there without being entirely grossed out by all the salt water taffy. Taffy, pronounced with an aggressively flat æ digraph, is a soft, sticky candy that is always sold wrapped up in a twist of wax paper, to protect it, presumably, from the moist sea air. I haven't been anywhere, on either coast, where it isn't made and sold as a necessary part of the shore experience. I don't think the tourists would ever go home, if it wasn't for this stuff, ripping out their fillings.
I sometimes think that our Irish friends take exception to the pronunciation of the word, perhaps thinking it's a Yankee mangling of the insular English word, toffee. Indeed, we have toffee, too, but it's a different animal, entirely. Maybe they resent the use of a word that is a tribal slur in England for the Welsh. Hard to say. They might not have a taste for it. I mean, they actually eat and enjoy Turkish delight, which is just nasty.
Oh, yes, this box suggests a piece of salt water taffy to me. I'm highly impressionable and maybe a little impressionistic.

A lovely Topper Made by persons unknown decorated the post-box outside the Post Office in Swanage, Dorset.
In our last installment of "The Box", Phillip exaggerated himself and Marble off of the Empire State Building by stating the exaggeration "Our house is made of gingerbread" and so it was.
"AWWWWWWWW!" screamed both Marble and Phillip.
"Muahahahaha!" chanted the ants.
"Marble, I am not that hungry anymore."
"You know what we need to do Phillip."
And they both chanted the exaggeration, "We are stuck in a box, we are stuck in a box."
"Don't forget with a llama named Greg," reminded Phillip.
And so it was, both Marble, Phillip and Greg the llama found themselves still stuck in the box.
Another room full of boxes after my move. The monitor is not in a box because the box it had been in was all bashed and I took it out to make sure it wasn't broken. It was fine.
!!!!! SORRY here seems to be a big mistake!!
Something wrong with "Aviary"!!!!

I got a few photos of one of Canadian Pacific's GP20C almost new in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 19, 2013.
I made this using yummy goodies from Emma's Paperie...I'm guest designing there this month! I used Dream Street papers by Audrey Neal, Owl paper by Sassafras Lass, mini Jenni Bowlin paper and tickets, and Making Memories epoxy accents to decorate this scalloped keepsake box...=) So much fun! Thanks for peeking!
Cats come frome space 10.000 years ago in box shaped quantum spaceship that move in space-time.
they arrive on earth, but something goes wrong and they can't return home.
century passes and they lost the galactic knowledge, they forgot that are astronauts.
but every time that a cat see a box, he must jump into. maybe it will be the box that bring back to home.
Shrewsbury station and signal box seen
the Lea Valley Railway Club "Ffestiniog Orbital" railtour going round the Abbey Foregate curve.
This tour ran from Euston to Wolverhampton where the tour split. Half the tour got on DMUs down the Cambrian to Pwllheli and back to Porthmadog followed by the Ffestiniog railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog and 40122 back to Stafford. The other half of the tour did the same circle in the opposite direction.
