Box cameras on the market in the 1930s were rugged, inexpensive, and easy to use.
Some had built-in accessories, others had attachments, but consumers liked them all.
Box cameras got their name from their rigid boxy shape, most often rectangular but sometimes a cube. They often had fixed focus, fixed lens opening and limited speeds. They gave the beginner an opportunity to learn the basics of photography such as composition and subject choice, without too much emphasis on complicated technical details.
The most common problem with these Agfa box cameras was difficulty in loading the film. It was hard to keep light from hitting the film and causing fogginess on the edges of the finished print. In spite of this drawback, box cameras were surprisingly easy to use for outdoor and indoor portraits, action shots, landscapes, and silhouettes.
Made for a bridal shower. Bottom layer was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and top two layers were vanilla cake with blueberry filling. The cake was frosted with vanilla butter cream and decorated with chocolate fondant.

Ramsbottom Station signal box 7 signal (Down Home) protects Bridge Street level crossing with the signal box and 10 signal (Up Home) visible beyond. Saturday 18th February 1984
Ramsbottom Station signal box is a London Midland and Scottish Railway Type 11c design which opened in 1938 fitted with a 40 lever Railway Executive Committee frame, replacing Ramsbottom South, Ramsbottom Station and Ramsbottom North Sidings signal boxes. The box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 4th June 1972 and it closed on 5th December 1980 along with the Castleton to Rawtenstall single line. Eventually ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it on 17th November 1990
The box carries a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate, and 7 signal is carried on a London Midland and Scottish Railway designed all-welded stem right-hand bracket
Many thanks to Ingy the Wingy

My brother gave me this box of treats when he came back from Japan. It was so elegantly presented, I had to take pictures while I ruined its perfection.

Fluxus boxes were intended as non linear narratives to be handled, touched, performed, disseminated, destroyed, reassembled, counted and reconfigured.
Just as cinema montage and music had learned, the orchestration of symbols, visions and other sensorial components was able to create novel scenarios. Interactivity and tangibility created a state of continuous recombination, multiplying interpretation and cognitively activating people, who became part of the artwork while handling, imagining and communicating. The connection with the ordinary flow of life created new dimensions in the world: stratified, recombinant and engaging.
In occasion of the 50 years of FLUXUS we have decided to research on this wonderful form of expression, both for the innovation it has provided in the arts and for its connection with many of the mutation processes that are going on with contemporary humanity and their ability to experience media, communicate and interact.
At the event Mercoledì da NABA series of events, on December 15th 2010, we will hold a workshop/performance in which we will build a Fluxus Box using Augmented Reality and other cross-medial techniques and technologies.
The ojective will be to research on the Fluxus Box approach, and to appy it at a “meta” level. The objects contained in the box will be tools through which the experience of multiple Fluxus Boxes will be holdable, remixable, juxtaposable, recombinable, enacting a meta-performance encompassing possibly infinite remixed reenactments of Fluxus performances, experiences and events.
The box we will produced will be donated to the NABA, and the custom software that will be created for the occasion will be released under a GPL2 licensing scheme, so that it will be usable by artists, students and practitioners worldwide, in a further level of the performance.

This is a box that I made for my wife for Christmas. Although she is a westerner, she speaks Vietnamese, and her viet name is Yến, which means Swallow. For this reason, I put a small inlay of a barn swallow in the bottom left corner of the top of the box.
This was my first attempt at using an inlay. I cut the shape from a mother of pearl blank, and then used a mini-router (dremel) to cut the pocket for the inlay.
The box measures roughly 10"x16"x6". The sides are rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), the top is American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) with a maple (Acer rubrum) and Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens ) frame. The bottom of the box (although you can't see it) is cedar (Thuja plicata).
The hinges on the back are brass, and are pocketed in small mortises.
I finished the box with about 10 coats of wipe on poly that was then sanded to p2500 grit, and then buffed to a piano-like shine. I will add a wax later this week.
The photos don't do the irridescent top justice. The chatoyancy of the figured black walnut and the bloodwood is outstanding.
I still have some work to do with the inside, and there are a few small mistakes, but overall I am pleased with this box.
A VR "Ludlow" wall box. These boxes date from when the postmaster himself was responsible for installing mail boxes, many being made of wood; they were then faced with a metal plate. Many early ones were made by James Ludlow & Sons of Birmingham, hence the name. According to the Letter Box Study Group (LBSG), there are more than 450 locations in the UK and Republic of Ireland where Ludlow post boxes are in use, stored or preserved. Given a total of over 100,000 post boxes in UK, Ludlow boxes represent a tiny proportion.
I've been meaning to do a still life shot of these boxes for some time. I set them in front of my computer monitor, with a white screen.
I call this kind of box a "Schrodinger's Box" as a reference to the fact that it's made as one large box, and until you slice off the lid, there's just no telling WHAT might be inside... Maybe even Schrodinger's Cat

Ususally there's just sawdust, but you never know....
The dark wood is walnut, the top is quilted maple with a walnut stripe.
I purchased this file on svgcuts. It used a lot of card stock, but was simple enough to make. I used it for the Family Sweets Jar I made (see previous pictures), which is pretty heavy and delicate, so I had to add some cardboard on the bottom for support. Finished box with gift inside is about 9.5" cubed.
Decided the other day to work on other things, but I have this one hanging around....
Crease pattern available.
