I saw this Red Box project candidate some time ago, when diverted of the dualled section of the A23. Life gets in the way, so it had to wait.
However a trip the Park Cameras (thanks for organising the Birds Day) to buy a new tripod, and so the oportunity presented.
Form the royal cipher, it is from the time of Queen Victoria of the type where a timber, fronted by cast iron, box is built in to the host's wall.
A fine example that is quite tricky to see.
Well, only lids, because I'm lazy.
After seeing Jorge's picture, I knew I had to fold this box.
Barbara's diagrams are here.
Top one is a slightly modified version of her pentagonal box, bottom one an octagonal transposition of mine.
My modification is creasing entirely the pinches on step 2, considering them beeing step 7 and 9, then proceeding backwards inscribing the 2 little pentagons inside (steps 4 and 3), finally the mountain folds 5 + 6. This folding sequence works better for me and is easily adaptable to other polygons.

dear dear box 'o mine
have you ever seen inside?
what you have
and
what you owe,
those desire that makes you glow.
glowing & glowing till the end
and then my love i put my hand.
yes my love! i felt the glow
creeping screaming that calm-sy blow,
then a whisper came to hear
told me- i know when it tears!!
pick me my dear 'o hand
and watch me doing magic again.
i picked and saw in the grab,
one was LUST & other was happiness.
so which i should go with now??
asked the magic box-
do you know how to feed me how??
magic box never spoke to me again
but YES!!
it was still glowing the same.

Last weekend a new doll arrived.
He is a Ringdoll Lucifer and my Dollzone boy Jasper opened his box …
This post box in Plumpton is rather hidden by foliage, it could do with a new coat of paint I think :) I usually photograph the whole box but decided on a close up for a change. The post boxes always show the Latin initials of the monarch reigning when the post box was installed - so 'E11R' & the crown stands for Elizabeth Regina 11 (Elizabeth 2nd - our reigning Queen).
One of my favourite decorative items in our home. Andrew and I found an old wooden tool box at the recycling yard. We added more sections to the drawers and it's now a display case for our little treasures.

37402 preparing to depart Warrington Bank Quay working a delayed Warrington to Crewe Pathfinder charter. Delayed due to the Daventry to Warrington leg of The Clay Box where 37409 failed and had to be replaced by 37402. 37609 was on the other end.
This was just one of a number of 'mini' charters using the same stock that ran off Crewe on the 21st February, running over night to numerous lines that aren't possible to cover during day light due to service trains. Manchester Airport, Windermere & Blackpool South in the early hours of the 22nd then to Daventry freight terminal during the day, back up to Warrington then to Crewe via Birmingham New Street.
I rarely fold boxes but recently I needed one and could not find any satisfying model online, so I designed this one. In contrast to most models I could find, this one is completely plain on the outside (no decoration at all), quite sturdy and it uses paper effectively (only two layers on the sides). There are several similarly good variants of the internal lock which hold the corners together.
Can be made from square or rectangular paper. A box and matching lid can be made from same-sized sheets.

A small collection of vintage cardboard boxes to remind us all of the joys of giving a hand where needed.
After Edale it was off to Earles arriving at 1050'ish.
A lovely box, it's looks spoilt by it's flat roof which like Great Rocks is the result of a fire .
Absolute block both ways again and here there's an IB section in both directions.
The box and sidings opened in 1929 with the opening of the cement works located at the end of the branch.
The narrower centres and the location of the frame in the back of the box give a clue to it's more recent heritage.
Not a lot has changed here over the years, the IB's were introduced to counteract closures of boxes at Norman's Bank (towards Edale) and Hope / Bamford. The box diagram is dated 1982 and is very little altered. A busier box than it's Grade 3 neighbors on each side it is thus a 4.
The cement works were developed by G & T Earle and thus surely the Earles should have an apostrophe but it hasn't ??
Some details of the branch and it's history here...

Former NB box at Lochmuir in Fife. This box controlled a loop on the down line at the summit of a climb from Thornton.
In steam days northbound freight, and in particular coal, workings were banked to the summit. The bankers would drop off and return over the crossover back to Thornton.
In the diesel era, the loop was used to allow freights to be overtaken and also as a means of reversing an early morning dmu service from Markinch to Edinburgh. As freight declined the box basically became a block post and was closed from 14th July as part of the Markinch resignalling. It was demolished a few weeks after the pictures were taken.

Are you crafty....creative....want to give a special gift to a special someone.....that they will treasure for the rest of their life.......??....You found it...!!
This is soooooo simple to do.....!!...all it takes......is an acrylic window block....found in most builder supply stores.....(you usually see them in walls to allow light in an area of a home or office)..............you drill a hole in one side just big enough to get a strand of mini lights in....feed all the lights through...just leaving the plug on the outside.............get some decorator wire ribbon.....to dress it up like a present and you are done......!!
This is so magical.....and lights up any corner on a table ....makes a wonderul magical night light for a room..............just the neatest idea .....and makes such a delightful gift to someone you love....or care for..!!
Check out the following picture to see the whole box.....to get a bettter idea how it looks on a table.....!!

You are born in a box. People label you immediately by superficial traits. You are limited by these labels.
I want to know why you can be defined by something you didn't choose to be. If you didn't choose it, how does something like a random trait represent you as a person in any way that matters? And I want to know why these traits are the first things that receive judgment from others.
Your physical nature does not describe your heart, but it does make you a part of humanity. One thing that unites us all as humans is that we were born into bodies we did not choose.
It seems the best thing to do is to accept that fact and move on. But then again that is coming from my privileged perspective. None of us are exempt from judgment, but those of us who are white, heterosexual males are undoubtably unfairly privileged. How can we change this to make life bette for everyone? How can you feel comfortable in Your Box?

After the German convention, at which I have given a workshop of the modular heart, I got a picture by Brigitte Wehrle with her folding. And she extended it with a very interesting idea. The other end of the module can be formed to a box.
I try it out and here is my first result. It is very easy. Just an opening of the inside wings of the cupboard base. There are two ways. It is enough to open just one side, but I found it better to open both sides. Then I have equal layers. To lock the box just turn some paper of the end to the inside. It is enough to do it once, but I found it better to do it twice.
And it is possible to change the direction of the box walls. The heart can be outside, as here for the lid, or inside, which I found better for the base.
The height of the box can chosen with the length of the paper stripe. The box width is the half of the paper width.

The "boxing" is possible for every of the polygon crosses. So, more will come.
A cake for a friends 50th birthday. The shoe box is 12x6 and was a challenge for me to gananche and cover. Will stick to round cakes!!
Shoe, pearls and flowers all edible- except diamante button on the bow, nylon thread through the pearls and there is a bamboo skewer in the heel of the shoe.

Many of us spend most of our days sitting in an office. While many of these offices are a series of "cubicles", much like boxes, there has been a trend towards offices that have no vertical separation between staff. The open concept office has seen a resurgence in popularity. The expressed motivation for all staff occupying a single room has been that it promotes increased shared learning across the entire team by increasing team member interaction and face to face communication.
There is a growing body of research that has concluded that the open concept office has not been successful. It seems that many (perhaps not all) are more productive working in individual boxes.

This box has just one layer of paper in most places so it uses paper effectively, allowing you to make a large box with given sheet size. In contrast to Common Box, outside is completely smooth, and this box is also much stronger than Common Box. The downside is that the lock of the corners is placed inside rather than outside which takes away some space and may make placing objects inside the box difficult. However, I designed this box with the purpose of using it as a lower part of two-part box sets — to be matched to decorated box lids, and this role it fulfills quite well.
It’s a simple design so I wouldn't be surprised if someone had come up with it before.

The tall signal box at Yeoford is nearly as wide as it is long. With its stone to operating floor base of such height as to give the Signalman a good view over the adjacent road bridge, this LSWR box opened on 1st June 1876. It contained a Stevens & Sons Tappet frame of 19 levers which was extended twice over the life of the box, the last time to 35 levers by 1903. With the run-down of the former LSWR's West of England main line and its total closure beyond Meldon in May 1968, Yeoford lingered-on until closure on 18th August 1968.
