This is his request.....Mom, I love quail egg chick and smiley mark. Please make smiley bento box tomorrow, my younger boy said last night. Okey, okey I'll make it. ..and I made this:D
My first attempt at a really practical box. It turns out that real-life objects are big -- even something as small as a tea box takes quite a few parts to make. A typical tea bag is about 8-9 studs wide, so I scaled up the Tan Box to be 18 studs on the inside, with a divider.

Box Elder Bug. Quite the pest when they swarm and get into the house. Seen in smaller numbers, outside, they are actually quite nice to look at.
Correction: I now believe this to be an Eastern Milkweed Bug.
This is an immense crop. Tiny fraction of the original exposure, which is shown in the top comment. The original view IS clickable, if you like. You can see how much was done to the image.

Lovely little gift box, hand made by my friend.

An abstract interpretation of the iconic Bathing Boxes that adorned many of the seaside townships along Australia's coast line. Clayton Blake's use of concrete, abstract forms and geometric shapes is a celebration of the 1950's post war brutalist Architectural Movement.

Daily Dog Challenge: Small ... the kitchen compost tin ... we have two so they can be emptied & cleaned often.
My second attempt at a functional box. Dragons are known for their excellent dentition, right? So, what better place to store your floss.
This design uses the third technic hinge pattern. To keep the lid thin I used the SNOT technique of joining Technic plates (black) with a short Technic axle (red). It's sturdy but as you can see it doesn't lock completely tight.
The floss is Oral-B, with its lid torn off. If you use a bigger floss box of course you need a bigger dragon :)

The Muddy Fork of the mighty Cowlitz River. In the past we've rushed here only to head up the Wonderland about 7.5 miles to camp for a few days in the backcountry. It was a little bittersweet to see the trail head this day and not be setting out again ... even though we hiked it back in 2013 (www.flickr.com/photos/33792231@N00/albums/72157635367885654). But, this trip was more about the front country so we actually had the time to stop and take some shots of this incredibly awesome box canyon.
The abandoned trailer across the street seems to be a fun source for photos. This box spring is on the back porch.
This picture was taken in Dayton, Ohio at Wegerzyn Gardens with my 135mm lens + 20mm extension tube. Better view in Light box.
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.
Signal box (1910) at Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen in Bochum, Germany.
This signal box was originally installed at the Köln-Mühlheim goods yard in 1910. It remained in use at this location until the 1970s and was transfered and restored at the museum at Dahlhausen. This included the re-construction of the corrugated iron cladding which had been destroyed in a fire and the rebuilding of the control apparatus.

The Bedford MLD was a long-wheelbase commercial vehicle with a dropside body. This vehicle had a removals body added in 1951 with a 750ft.³ box and a drop tail.

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 room box is made of mdf & formex and pieces of woods.
