"Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow..."
Thai Police Box with Air Con ! This is one of the standard small ones.mostly too be found at major road junctions.You can control the traffic lights from this box.
Others can be a lot bigger.This is a new box The old one was just like a bus shelter !!! With a number of seats,For miscreants to wait. Usually people with no crash helmets. Fine payable at the local police station 300 baht about six pounds, You are only fined once a day.So you are free to ride without one for the rest of the day !!! Though they make you wait to pay the fine as extra punishment.
Some of these boxes are sponsored by companies.With the companies logo every where. And hard to tell that they are police boxes.Especially when there are no police in attendance.Some are outrageously decorated for want of a better word. The chair belongs to the police box.Thats for his friends to sit on when going past.
Mind you bear in mind it`s very hot and humid.
As an aside the uniforms are changing to a different type.At the moment they are very military looking with the crash helmets ,big boots and tight trousers.
But it`s being changed to standard dress.to promote a more friendly appearance.
Ha! Ha! Ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Handmade from fabric and chipboard, and designed to hopefully last a long time! The corners are both machine sewn and glued, and I made 8 dividers to fit. Took me a little time to make this one, as the box was custom built to size, but I love the way it turned out!

"Portsmouth Harbour signal box with its Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd. Style 'L' Power Lever Frame was opened by the Southern Railway on the 1st June 1946. It was built to the Southern Railway Type 13 design and was fitted with a 47 lever Westinghouse 'L' frame (which was part of a 143 lever frame (frame number 93) purchased by the Southern Railway as a standby frame in case of war damage). 47 of the 143 Standby frame levers were utilised in 1946 after the station and layout were rebuilt due to war damage.
It replaced two boxes, Portsmouth Harbour signal box which was destroyed by aerial bombing in 1941 but was not officially closed and Portsmouth Harbour signal box, a temporary box opened on 21st August 1941 to replace the bomb damaged box.
Portsmouth Harbour signal box was closed on 21st April 1968 and was used an office and a relay room for Portsmouth power signal box. After closure the lever frame was moved to the school of signalling at Clapham Junction. The building was retained as a relay room for the 1968 Portsmouth NX signalling scheme which was operational until December 2006"

The signal box briefly re-opened with hand signalling following serious problems with the 2006 Portsmouth re-signalling scheme. The Signal box closed for the second time at the end of 2007 when Havant ASC was eventually commissioned.
Yup, I kept track as I removed them. 164 nails and 18 screws (not counting those attaching hardware) held together a box barely 13 x 8. The drawers alone had 35 nails each. That's some craftsmanship!

I dont know what happened to me but my imagination has been so weak for a while. I couldnt come up with any design and I was getting anxious!
My client requested a mum/nurse/ girlie cake, how could I combine all that into a cake? I thought of a box full of nursing stuff and children's toys (well not exatly reality but..) so I decided to make a girlie box with children and nurse stuff in it!
This was a last minute design! I cant even believe that I did all that in 4 hours!
I hope my client is happy with the finished product :)
Small Wooden Box shot for the Daddyshack Scavenger Hunt
My father-in-law made this little jewelry box for my wife.
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 17,899 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Box Elder County. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day. Much of Main Street is closed off to cars, and the festival is celebrated by a parade, a car show, a carnival, and other activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) dedicated its fourteenth temple in Utah in Brigham City on 23 September 2012.
The city is the headquarters of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Shoshone people.
Mormon pioneer William Davis first explored the Brigham City area in 1850. He returned with his family and others a year later to create permanent homes. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city at the site in 1853. Snow directed both religious and political affairs in the settlement, eventually naming it Box Elder in 1855. Brigham Young gave his last public sermon there in 1877 shortly before his death, and the name of the town was changed to Brigham City after the church president. In 1864, the cooperative movement began in earnest with the creation of a mercantile co-op store and was an important element of the United Order of Enoch. Other industries were added, and the Brigham City Co-op is widely recognized as the most successful of the Mormon Co-op ventures. Economic hardships brought an end to the Co-op in 1895, though the Co-op had first started selling businesses off in 1876.
Despite layoffs over the past decade, much of Brigham City's economy relies on Thiokol, the creator of many missiles, as well as the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. Additionally, the local Autoliv (formerly a part of Thiokol) airbag plants also net Brigham City many jobs. The addition of a Walmart distribution center in nearby Corinne has also brought new jobs.

Home-made toy rabbit family.
They have wire armatures, padded and covered with bits of old cotton stocking, with leather ears and embroidered features. They are nicely dressed in scraps of cotton fabric and I think they probably date from the 1940s.
Sterling silver box pendant with a Mother.of.Pearl button. Wire balled on both sides through the button, square tube bail.
Box camera for roll film size 620 , made in USA and Canada , 1933-1941 . Identification on strap only .
I guess this box once had some architectural merit, now it is no doubt larger and more comfortable for the incumbent but it does look a pigs ear devoid of any real character.
Indeed the photos contained on this thread show the box did at one time have a more pleasing appearance.

The height of the British summer,18th July 2012, saw me and my eldest set off from Nottingham for an Everton pre-season friendly at Dundee. What could go wrong ? Bhy the time we got to Edinburgh at lunch time the evening fixture had already been called off due to a waterlogged pitch !
I had arranged to visit my ex signal school colleague at Tay Bridge South where he was working the afternoon turn so I carried on regardless and pulled in two other boxes on the way.
These are the very grey images from that afternoon.
The hinged lid can be adjusted to various degrees in relation to the base. The base is adjusted via the tripod head. So it could be tilted back almost flat for water color.
