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.

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.

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.....!!

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.

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.

Hexagonal box... Purple top folded from an 8.5 inch wide hexagon gridded in 16ths... Yellow bottom folded from an 8.5 inch square divided in 7ths... It's amazing how it works out that 1/8 * 2 / root(3) is slightly larger than 1/7, thus making the top fit the bottom snugly...
The overlap section between the top and bottom is actually an anti-prism, which means the lid actually holds quite well, and does not fall off even if turned upside-down and shaken with objects inside...
The top is a result of some of the playing around I did on the yellow sheet with the offset double-pleats... It didn't look too good tessellated, but I realized the sides could be wrapped down and turned into a box-top...
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.
....turtle. An x-ray of a wild caught ornate box turtle. She was x-rayed to see if she was pregnant. Three eggs are visible, which she subsequently laid. The turtle was part of a head start program with local zoos and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These turtles are considered to be endangered in Illinois. Eggs are collected, incubated, and hatched out. The turtlets are kept for about a year to mature a bit after which they are released into the wild where the eggs (or mom) came from. The female above was released at the site where she was captured. Her babies were terminally cute (about the size of a quarter.
